Jazmyn (00:01):
Hello, hello, hello and welcome, welcome, welcome.
This is Jazmyn B Nichols withthe Holy Human Honest Podcast.
Now listen, you guys.
I already told y'all that, look, I'm not trying to reach for
perfection.
This year.
It is a year of just do it,even if it is not perfect,
because your girl has definitelystruggled with perfectionism in
the past.
So, with that being said, I amrecording tonight.
(00:25):
I am home at my house, my kidsare still up, so, look, if y'all
hear a couple pitter patters inthe background, all kinds of
things, just bear with me.
So today I'm going to get rightinto it.
Do you know your purpose?
Do you know what you were puton this earth to do?
(00:46):
Do you know what you reallywant to get out of life?
I've definitely had people inmy life tell me before I don't
know what my purpose is, because, for me, living life on purpose
is a big deal to me.
What is my purpose?
What is my purpose?
And I think a lot of times whenpeople are wondering what their
(01:06):
purpose is, they're thinkingabout what is it, that exact
thing that I'm supposed to bedoing?
What is my calling?
What is my gift?
What is my talent?
But before we look at thosethings we really have to first
look at.
What are we here to docollectively, as human beings?
What are we here to do with oneanother, for one another?
(01:30):
What is it all about?
Well, I think about thescripture, when Jesus talks
about how Jesus came to serveand not to be served.
That's why we're here, and Iknow that this can sound super
simple, like well, that's tooeasy, that's too simple, and
(01:50):
what do you mean?
I'm just here to serve, are youknow?
Isn't there something more tolife?
But y'all, really, if you lookat the people in the world that
have learned to thrive and Imean really, really thrive Not
just people that have a lot ofstuff or people that you know
struck, rich and those types ofthings, but people that are
(02:12):
really striving inside andoutside, those people are
usually some of the biggestservants.
They are the biggest givers.
They also know how to haveboundaries, but they have such
capacity that even theirboundaries still seem to find
(02:35):
ways to serve others and not forthem to just be served.
Jesus came to serve and not beserved.
So if you want to figure outwhat your purpose is, I ask you
first what is your service?
What is your service andusually, if you want to know
(02:56):
what your service is, you lookat what are your gifts, what are
your talents.
Let me quit saying you, you,you, we, we look at what are our
gifts, what are our talents,what are our passions.
I know that I'm put on thisearth to serve and I'm put on
(03:17):
this earth for love and lightand God and goodness to flow
through my life and find ways toserve and to share all that
with the people that are here.
That is what Jesus did, and hewas indiscriminate.
He shared what was inside ofhim with anybody that was
willing to receive, anybody thatwas willing to believe what he
(03:38):
had to offer.
And we were called to do thesame thing.
What is my service?
There's a lot of things, y'all,that I'm not good at.
Okay, I remember it wassomebody once in my life that
said Jasmine, it seems likeyou're good at everything and
I'm like man, there's so manythings that I'm not good at.
The things that I'm not good at.
(04:00):
That list is way longer thanthe list of things that I am
good at.
But my thing is that I justchoose to throw myself
completely into things that I'mreally good at.
Like who wants to just sitaround doing stuff and being
frustrated, but I'm I like toreally throw myself into
whatever it is that I'm doing,and so, for me, I'm just good
(04:26):
with words.
I'm good with words Now.
I ain't gonna lie y'all.
I've had to learn over theyears how to be tactful
sometimes, but words are mything.
So, whether it's songwriting,whether it's poetry, whether it
is an encouraging word or justknowing the right thing to say
in a crisis I actually workedfor a crisis hotline before.
(04:48):
I'm good at that and I foundways to serve through those
words.
So, whether it's doing spokenword poetry at an event or
writing a song that I hope willmeet people where they are in a
dark place, but somehow be ableto pull them back into light and
into hope, that's just mypurpose and I let that flow
(05:12):
through me in so many ways, Ithink in other times.
Why it's hard for people tofigure out their purpose is
because a lot of times, peopledon't really know, want to know
what their purpose is.
I think sometimes we might wantto know what can I do to get
rich?
What can I do to get wealthy?
What can I do to hit it big?
(05:32):
What can I do, to get famous,and if that is the thing that is
pushing you and driving you toto know why you're created or
what your purpose really is, ifwhat you're looking for and the
questions that you're askinghave nothing to do with serving
people and serving God, I don'tthink that we're going to figure
(05:52):
it out.
Your purpose is usually thething that you could do, even if
you never made a dime from itor if nobody ever found out
about it.
It's just the thing that makesyou come alive, like I love.
I love, love, love when I leadworship and I'm serving people
(06:13):
and I'm serving my community byleading us into a, the tangible
presence of God, the manifestglory of God.
God is all us.
But it's just something aboutcorporate worship when you could
just feel the gravity and theheaviness and the weightiness
and the lightest, best way ofGod's goodness and to worship
(06:37):
him in the beauty of hisholiness.
It is just amazing and I findit such a privilege to do that
and I'll do it for free.
I'll do it for free.
God rewards me and it's reallyokay.
It really is.
There's been times when peoplehave blessed me with something,
(06:58):
but I don't do it for that thosethings might come, but I do it
so that I can serve God's people.
I love to get to see God'speople be able to just
experience the presence of Godwhen all the things of this
world grow strangely dim in thelight of God's glory and grace.
That is my service to mycommunity, piece of it, a part
(07:23):
of it, doing this podcast andhopefully encouraging and
serving somebody by letting youknow you're not alone.
I didn't figure these thingsout overnight.
Been a long time in prayer andjust in life and talking with
(07:47):
God and talking to people andlistening and getting it wrong
and having vain ambitions andwanting to self-promote in ways
that is not glorifying to God atall but is trying to glorify me
and figure things out and giveme a stake in this and a stake
in that, in position and it'sall just so stupid Vanity.
So I've had to fall a lot oftimes before I came to this
(08:14):
point of just.
It's so simple.
If you want to know yourpurpose, ask yourself what is my
service?
Ask yourself, do I want toserve?
And just be honest, becauseit's easy to feel like we've
served so much.
I think a lot of times we canfind ourselves having done so
(08:37):
much service and it wasn'treally what I don't know.
It didn't.
It didn't.
It didn't come from a place oflife, it didn't come from a
place of flow, you know.
And so I think sometimes, evenwhen people think of service, I
think immediately, if you'reburnt out and you hear the word
(08:58):
service, it could almost be atrigger.
You know what, what I mean.
But when you lock in on yourpurpose, you will find that in
your endeavor to serve otherpeople and to serve with God and
alongside God and his purposein the earth, you'll find that
you get filled up as well,because as you are allowing
(09:21):
things to flow out of you, godis pouring into you.
That's when you know you'vereally stepped into purpose.
It's almost like a two separatetubes that just kind of come
together and everything that Godhas already endowed you with,
everything that God iscontinually pouring inside of
you, everything that you'vealready come with into this
(09:42):
earth, it is just flowingthrough and as you give it out
and make space for more, godpours in the more.
And it is beautiful and it iseuphoric and it is amazing, even
if sometimes it can feel hard,even if sometimes your flesh
might get tired, but it can betricky, especially if we haven't
(10:07):
really um looked at our motives.
Why do you want to know yourpurpose again?
Is it about?
Is it about getting wealthy, oris it about leading somebody
else into a wealthy place?
So what is your service andwhat are you good at?
(10:28):
What gives you joy just bydoing it?
And, it's amazing, the doorsthat God can open just when
we're doing that thing thatwe're called to do.
Man, I love watching this ladyon YouTube.
Her name is Ari Katerina andshe cleans homes, and she cleans
(10:49):
homes for free.
She would literally she's justlike I love to clean, I love to
clean y'all.
She will open up a refrigeratorthat has like roaches and
maggots and all kind of stuffinside of it and she'll be like
oh my goodness, this is sobeautiful, this is just
delicious.
Because she just thinks I, Idon't know, the more messy
something is, the more amazingit is to clean.
She just I don't know, that'sour thing.
(11:11):
She loves to clean and so, justby her videoing herself
cleaning people's places, sheeven started to just do it for
free because she got so muchsponsorship from all these
different companies.
Companies were flying heraround the world just because
she locked in with what can I doto serve people that coincides
(11:35):
and aligns with the things thatI love to do and I'm actually
really good at.
God didn't create us to justfind our purpose and do stuff
that we really don't like to do,or serve people doing things
that become begrudging.
No, how can you be a cheerfulgiver if you're not doing
something that makes youcheerful?
(11:56):
I'm not saying that all thetime and purpose things are
going to be easy and cheery.
There's a lot of things thatsometimes come with service that
we don't like.
Like the things that I do toserve other people.
It comes with a lot of adminwork, and I do not like admin
work, but the joy and knowingthe product is going to be on
(12:16):
the other side of that, I don'tknow.
It just gives me the grace andthe ability to kind of get
through it.
So I'm not saying it's alwaysgoing to be easy, but it's going
to be absolutely worth it andit's going to be something that
brings us joy as well.
All right, so what is yourservice?
Think about that.
What is your service?
What is the thing that you'rereally really good at that, even
(12:38):
if you didn't get paid.
It's just something that bringsyou so much joy and it could be
anything.
Like I said, this lady, herthing, the thing that she loves
to do, is to clean and toencourage people.
Let's talk about that as well.
Always remember that yourpurpose is to serve.
(12:58):
When you want to know yourpurpose, ask yourself what is
your service?
So even with her, she isfinding purpose in cleaning
right now, but really herpurpose is to serve.
She's just doing it throughcleaning.
What if something happens oneday and there's somebody out
there?
They are locked into theirpurpose and maybe say their
(13:22):
purpose they're finding purposein dog walking, like they're,
just like.
I just want to be the best dogwalker in the world.
I want to serve people by doingthis.
This is awesome.
And something happens and theycan't do dog walking anymore.
Are they left without purpose?
Absolutely not.
Maybe there's something thatyou really used to find purpose
in and then something happenedand you can't find purpose in
(13:44):
that thing anymore and you feellost and you just feel like, oh
my gosh, what is my purpose?
What does it mean in life?
Why am I here?
You're here to serve.
So find a different way to doit.
There has to be something.
It is amazing how we reallybegin to live life when we stop
(14:04):
living it for ourselves and liveit for the good of others and
for the glory of God.
And that sounds so contrary tothe world that we live in today.
But that's kingdom, that iswhat it means to be holy.
The life set apart, living itunto God, that's what that holy
part means.
But then our human nature,which y'all I love.
(14:27):
Human nature, it is the mostbeautiful, magnificent, messy,
brutal thing there is.
But it is just incredible to me, the human experience, and I
just feel so honored to get, tohave been able to come into this
earth and be a human being.
And I know that that sounds socrazy, because this world is
wild and wicked and tumultuousand all kinds of things happen
(14:49):
and there's grief and there'ssadness and there's pain, but
the joy and the richness of itall that produces so much
endurance and depth andcharacter.
I'm just like.
I'm so thankful that God let medo this, I get to do this.
How cool, I'm so happy, it'ssuch a rich experience.
(15:12):
But the honest part in that isthat it's hard.
It's hard marrying that call toholiness and a life set apart
unto God with this flesh that webattle and the survival
instincts that we have as humanbeings, and the things that
(15:33):
fight for our attention and thethings that come to distract us,
and the vain, conceited waysthat we could have and just I
don't know.
The wickedness of our ownhearts is hard, but God is good
and God is able, and I'mthankful for that.
(15:57):
I want to wrap up with thescripture that I read this
morning.
It's a scripture out of thebook of Jude.
Jude is absolutely one of myfavorite books and one of the
last scriptures, jude 1,.
There's only one chapter ofJude, so the whole thing is one
Jude 1, verse 24.
Now to him who is able to keepyou from stumbling and to
(16:18):
present you faultless before thepresence of his glory, with
exceeding joy.
To God, our savior, who aloneis wise, be glory and majesty,
dominion and power, both now andforever.
Amen, whoo, that is a goodscripture.
It says now to him who was ableto keep you from stumbling.
(16:41):
To him who was able to keep you, me, us, from stumbling.
I love that he is able to keepus from stumbling.
He is.
He's able to do it.
He's able to do it.
Now, sometimes we try to stepout of line.
But what I love about God'sword as well.
(17:01):
It says that a righteous manfalls several times and gets
back up, but God is able to keepus from stumbling in this
pursuit of um, in this pursuitof him, in this pursuit of
wanting to live a life set apart, or we also walk in our divine
humanity that God has endowed uswith.
It's a beautiful thing to behonest about the fact that it's
(17:26):
not always easy, but with God,all things are possible, you
guys.
So I just wanted to share thattoday.
I hope this encourages somebody.
Again, if you're looking foryour purpose, ask what is my
service, how can I serve otherpeople, and what is the thing,
(17:47):
what is the way that I wouldlove to do that that also brings
me joy.
Okay, god is good.

Bye, thank you.
Hello, hello, hello and welcome, welcome, welcome.
This is Jazmyn B Nichols withthe Holy Human Honest Podcast.
Now listen, you guys.
I already told y'all that, look, I'm not trying to reach for
perfection.
This year.
It is a year of just do it,even if it is not perfect,
because your girl has definitelystruggled with perfectionism in
the past.
So, with that being said, I amrecording tonight.
(00:25):
I am home at my house, my kidsare still up, so, look, if y'all
hear a couple pitter patters inthe background, all kinds of
things, just bear with me.
So today I'm going to get rightinto it.
Do you know your purpose?
Do you know what you were puton this earth to do?
(00:46):
Do you know what you reallywant to get out of life?
I've definitely had people inmy life tell me before I don't
know what my purpose is, because, for me, living life on purpose
is a big deal to me.
What is my purpose?
What is my purpose?
And I think a lot of times whenpeople are wondering what their
(01:06):
purpose is, they're thinkingabout what is it, that exact
thing that I'm supposed to bedoing?
What is my calling?
What is my gift?
What is my talent?
But before we look at thosethings we really have to first
look at.
What are we here to docollectively, as human beings?
What are we here to do with oneanother, for one another?
(01:30):
What is it all about?
Well, I think about thescripture, when Jesus talks
about how Jesus came to serveand not to be served.
That's why we're here, and Iknow that this can sound super
simple, like well, that's tooeasy, that's too simple, and
(01:50):
what do you mean?
I'm just here to serve, are youknow?
Isn't there something more tolife?
But y'all, really, if you lookat the people in the world that
have learned to thrive and Imean really, really thrive Not
just people that have a lot ofstuff or people that you know
struck, rich and those types ofthings, but people that are
(02:12):
really striving inside andoutside, those people are
usually some of the biggestservants.
They are the biggest givers.
They also know how to haveboundaries, but they have such
capacity that even theirboundaries still seem to find
(02:35):
ways to serve others and not forthem to just be served.
Jesus came to serve and not beserved.
So if you want to figure outwhat your purpose is, I ask you
first what is your service?
What is your service andusually, if you want to know
(02:56):
what your service is, you lookat what are your gifts, what are
your talents.
Let me quit saying you, you,you, we, we look at what are our
gifts, what are our talents,what are our passions.
I know that I'm put on thisearth to serve and I'm put on
(03:17):
this earth for love and lightand God and goodness to flow
through my life and find ways toserve and to share all that
with the people that are here.
That is what Jesus did, and hewas indiscriminate.
He shared what was inside ofhim with anybody that was
willing to receive, anybody thatwas willing to believe what he
(03:38):
had to offer.
And we were called to do thesame thing.
What is my service?
There's a lot of things, y'all,that I'm not good at.
Okay, I remember it wassomebody once in my life that

I ain't gonna lie y'all.
I've had to learn over theyears how to be tactful

So, whether it's songwriting,whether it's poetry, whether it

so that I can serve God's people.
I love to get to see God'speople be able to just

That is my service to mycommunity, piece of it, a part

I didn't figure these thingsout overnight.

It's so simple.
If you want to know yourpurpose, ask yourself what is my

I think a lot of times we canfind ourselves having done so

(11:56):
I'm not saying that all thetime and purpose things are

There's a lot of things thatsometimes come with service that

It comes with a lot of adminwork, and I do not like admin

It just gives me the grace andthe ability to kind of get

So I'm not saying it's alwaysgoing to be easy, but it's going
to be absolutely worth it andit's going to be something that
brings us joy as well.
All right, so what is yourservice?
Think about that.
What is your service?
What is the thing that you'rereally really good at that, even
(12:38):
if you didn't get paid.
It's just something that bringsyou so much joy and it could be
anything.
Like I said, this lady, herthing, the thing that she loves
to do, is to clean and toencourage people.
Let's talk about that as well.
Always remember that yourpurpose is to serve.
(12:58):
When you want to know yourpurpose, ask yourself what is
your service?
So even with her, she isfinding purpose in cleaning
right now, but really herpurpose is to serve.
She's just doing it throughcleaning.
What if something happens oneday and there's somebody out
there?
They are locked into theirpurpose and maybe say their
(13:22):
purpose they're finding purposein dog walking, like they're,
just like.
I just want to be the best dogwalker in the world.
I want to serve people by doingthis.
This is awesome.
And something happens and theycan't do dog walking anymore.
Are they left without purpose?
Absolutely not.
Maybe there's something thatyou really used to find purpose
in and then something happenedand you can't find purpose in
(13:44):
that thing anymore and you feellost and you just feel like, oh
my gosh, what is my purpose?
What does it mean in life?
Why am I here?
You're here to serve.
So find a different way to doit.
There has to be something.
It is amazing how we reallybegin to live life when we stop
(14:04):
living it for ourselves and liveit for the good of others and
for the glory of God.
And that sounds so contrary tothe world that we live in today.
But that's kingdom, that iswhat it means to be holy.
The life set apart, living itunto God, that's what that holy
part means.
But then our human nature,which y'all I love.
(14:27):
Human nature, it is the mostbeautiful, magnificent, messy,
brutal thing there is.
But it is just incredible to me, the human experience, and I
just feel so honored to get, tohave been able to come into this
earth and be a human being.
And I know that that sounds socrazy, because this world is
wild and wicked and tumultuousand all kinds of things happen
(14:49):
and there's grief and there'ssadness and there's pain, but
the joy and the richness of itall that produces so much
endurance and depth andcharacter.
I'm just like.
I'm so thankful that God let medo this, I get to do this.
How cool, I'm so happy, it'ssuch a rich experience.
(15:12):
But the honest part in that isthat it's hard.
It's hard marrying that call toholiness and a life set apart
unto God with this flesh that webattle and the survival
instincts that we have as humanbeings, and the things that
(15:33):
fight for our attention and thethings that come to distract us,
and the vain, conceited waysthat we could have and just I
don't know.
The wickedness of our ownhearts is hard, but God is good
and God is able, and I'mthankful for that.
(15:57):
I want to wrap up with thescripture that I read this
morning.
It's a scripture out of thebook of Jude.
Jude is absolutely one of myfavorite books and one of the
last scriptures, jude 1,.
There's only one chapter ofJude, so the whole thing is one
Jude 1, verse 24.
Now to him who is able to keepyou from stumbling and to
(16:18):
present you faultless before thepresence of his glory, with
exceeding joy.
To God, our savior, who aloneis wise, be glory and majesty,
dominion and power, both now andforever.
Amen, whoo, that is a goodscripture.
It says now to him who was ableto keep you from stumbling.
(16:41):
To him who was able to keep you, me, us, from stumbling.
I love that he is able to keepus from stumbling.
He is.
He's able to do it.
He's able to do it.
Now, sometimes we try to stepout of line.
But what I love about God'sword as well.
(17:01):
It says that a righteous manfalls several times and gets
back up, but God is able to keepus from stumbling in this
pursuit of um, in this pursuitof him, in this pursuit of
wanting to live a life set apart, or we also walk in our divine
humanity that God has endowed uswith.
It's a beautiful thing to behonest about the fact that it's
(17:26):
not always easy, but with God,all things are possible, you
guys.
So I just wanted to share thattoday.
I hope this encourages somebody.
Again, if you're looking foryour purpose, ask what is my
service, how can I serve otherpeople, and what is the thing,
(17:47):
what is the way that I wouldlove to do that that also brings
me joy.
Okay, god is good.
