What does it mean to embrace your God-given purpose, even when doubt and fear creep in? In this inspiring episode, I’m joined by Cassandra Speer, co-leader of the Her True Worth community and author of Ready as You Are: Discovering a Life of Abundance When You Feel Inadequate, Uncertain, and Disqualified. Cassandra unpacks the difference between macro and micro purposes, revealing how even the most ordinary tasks can carry sacred significance. Together, we dive into spiritual gifts, the power of community, navigating spiritual voids in today’s world, and finding deeper meaning through faith.

0:04.3	up. There's a lot in motherhood that we can't control, but your nutrition, that's a powerful
0:08.9	place to start. That's why I've been raving about the company needed. I wish I'd had needed
0:13.8	when I was in that chapter. Their starter plan is a total game changer, a comprehensive prenatal
0:19.4	multi, plus the high quality omega-3 designed to meet
0:22.7	the real nutritional demands of pregnancy and beyond. It's not the bare minimum stuff that most

0:32.9	Trusted by over 6,000 women's health practitioners from midwives to obese, they're raising the bar for women's

1:26.2	I feel like the concept of purpose, like you said, is wildly
1:29.6	overwhelming. And also, I feel as though it is very misconstrued in a lot of different ways.
1:37.1	God's glory. God's power is magnified in our weakness. Faithfulness has nothing to do with fame.
