Purpose Starts in the Heart
Theme Scripture:“But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s delicacies.” – Daniel 1:8 (NKJV)
Welcome to Purpose of Heart, the Podcast — a space where we draw strength, peace, and renewed purpose from the Word of God. In this foundational episode, host Priscilla Allman shares what it truly means to live with Purpose of Heart.
Before Daniel ever stood before kings or survived the lion’s den, he made one quiet, personal decision: to honor God in his heart. Priscilla walks us through how that same decision shapes our lives today — not through achievement or status, but through alignment and surrender.
In This Episode You’ll Learn:
- What it means to “purpose in your heart” like Daniel did
- Why purpose isn’t about your position but your posture before God
- How integrity and obedience in private prepare you for public impact
- The daily choices that reveal who your heart belongs to
- How pressure refines, not destroys, your God-given purpose
Key Takeaway:
Purpose isn’t about where you are — it’s about who you’ve decided to be in God, right where you are. Whether your “Babylon” looks like a stressful workplace, a challenging season, or a hidden place of preparation, God is shaping your heart for what’s next.
Reflection Questions:
1. What area is God asking for your full devotion right now?
2. Where might you be tempted to compromise conviction for comfort?
3. What daily disciplines can help you realign your heart with His will?
Scriptures Mentioned:
- Daniel 1:8
- Romans 12:2
Practical Challenge:
Take a moment this week to evaluate what influences you allow into your heart—music, media, or even conversations—and ask, Does this align me with God’s heart or distract me from it?
