We all want to know our purpose—but what if our why isn’t something we achieve… but something we receive? In this episode, Mo shares how her journey into writing wasn’t about finding her voice—it was about finding God’s. Through personal testimony, scripture, and reflection, she reminds us that obedience always precedes understanding and that our deepest purpose is rooted not in ambition, but surrender.
Whether you feel uncertain, overwhelmed, or stuck—this episode will gently guide you back to the One who defines your why.
In this episode:
- How Mo’s calling to write came before her calling to speak
- Why your “why” often unfolds one step at a time
- What Scripture says about calling, identity, and obedience
- Encouragement when plans don’t go as expected
- 4 questions to help you uncover your why
Scriptures Mentioned:
- Exodus 4:11–12
- Jeremiah 1:9
- Psalm 139
- Proverbs 16:9
- Isaiah 43:1
- Ephesians 2:10
