In this episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with my friend Chris Norton for a powerful conversation about finding purpose when life doesn’t go as planned.

Episode Notes
We talked about finding peace in God’s presence, holding on to hope when the future feels uncertain, and trusting God when His answers look different than we expected. Chris also shared why giving ourselves room to grieve can deepen our dependence on God, how focusing on today’s next step helps us move forward, and how God can use our hardest experiences to make a difference in someone else’s life.
My hope is that this conversation reminds you that your limitations never limit what God can do in and through you. Whatever you’re facing today, you don’t have to have the future figured out to take your next faithful step. God is still at work, your story isn’t finished, and there is purpose ahead.
