The Dark Side of Finding Your Purpose

Welcome back to What If I’m Wrong? A show where we might not give you the answers, but we will ask some really good questions. On today’s episode Mike Planeta joins us for submission discussions. Mike Planeta is a Christian above all else, a sinner that is saved by Jesus. He takes pride in his family and friends! Also a former Professional Baseball Player and College Basketball Player. After his sports career he went on to open his own gym. In 2021, he was a contestant on the Bachelorette and was thrown into the social media world. Mike uses his social media to talk about Jesus, family, travel and fitness.  This month, we’re diving deep into passion—What are you so passionate about that you are willing to suffer for and through?—and this week we are discussing: The Dark Side of Finding Your Purpose. Heather shares about the concept of "faith" in a new light, based on an excerpt from her book, emphasizing that faith is not about having all the right answers, but trusting in something greater. Join host Heather Thompson Day and submission specialist Haley as they explore the challenges and obstacles that arise when finding your purpose.  In Day in the Bible, Heather concludes by reflecting on the story of Joseph from Genesis 45, exploring how our true purpose may not be tied to achievements or positions, but to the relationships and unity we build along the way.
