The Weight of Purpose: Finding the Courage to Change Direction
Manage episode 482887450 series 3619668
When was the last time you felt that unsettling disconnect between what you're doing and who you're becoming? That strange tension where everything looks right on paper, but your soul feels tired?
This episode dives deep into the sacred space of pivoting—recognizing when God is calling you to something new and finding the courage to follow. Drawing from Isaiah 43:19 ("I am doing a new thing. Now it springs forth. Do you not perceive it?"), we explore what it truly means to navigate leadership transitions with both faith and practical wisdom.
I share my family's unexpected journey of pivoting our entire business direction after Hurricane Helene, when my husband felt called to develop emergency communication systems for disaster response. What started with a late-night phone call from our pastor saying, "What if God has made you for such a time as this?" evolved into one of the scariest and most purposeful seasons of our lives.
The path to pivoting requires three key steps: reflecting honestly on what feels heavy or misaligned, reconnecting with your core values, and taking one small step forward in faith. But we also need to acknowledge the two companions that always join us on this journey—fear and grief. It's possible to hold both the sadness of what you're leaving behind and the excitement of where God is leading.
Whether you're questioning your current role, feeling restless in your leadership, or sensing that still, small voice calling you to something new, remember this: pivoting doesn't mean you failed. It simply means you're paying attention. What part of your life feels misaligned right now, and what's one small change that could bring you closer to the life God is calling you to lead?
