In this episode, host Christine Caine brings together a powerful compilation on the theme of purpose, featuring conversations with therapist and bestselling author Dr. Anita Phillips, marketplace professional Rachel Aguirre, and a listener Q&A. Whether you're navigating a career change, overthinking your calling, or wondering how to live with more clarity, this episode will remind you that purpose isn't something you find—it's something you live. Packed with wisdom on emotional health, spiritual identity, and marketplace impact, this episode will help you embrace purpose in every season.
SHOW NOTES:
Purpose Is Discovered Through Surrender
Christine encourages listeners not to overthink calling, but to take the next right step. God often reveals purpose through simple obedience, not elaborate plans.
Your Passion Is Often a Clue
Christine shares how joy, gifting, and passion can be indicators of your God-given assignment—not barriers to it.
The Power of Emotional Awareness
Dr. Anita Phillips unpacks how your emotional life is central to your spiritual formation—and how ignoring emotions can disconnect you from purpose.
Regulating Emotions Isn’t Weak—It’s Wisdom
Anita explains how emotional regulation is a biological process, not a character flaw, and why it’s crucial for leadership and calling.
Ministry in the Marketplace
Rachel Aguirre shares how she lives as a Kingdom ambassador in a corporate world, navigating integrity, calling, and impact without compromising her values.
