There are reasons we are living this life. In addition to the people we love, and the people who love us, we are meant to express ourselves through the passion we have, and then to find a purpose, a way to share it. When you were a kid, what brought you joy? Does it still?

I think of my brother who as a young boy liked to dress up in military uniforms and carry toy weapons. He grew up to be a firefighter and has become an expert in using firearms responsibly. I think it’s telling. As a young girl I was drawn to performances, like getting goosebumps every year when Leslie Ann Warren starred in the movie Cinderella. (That was back when you had to wait a year to see something you really enjoyed.) It is still true today. When I am moved I get goosebumps, sometimes cry and occasionally weep.

I love the power in performance arts and the joy found in storytelling. We can learn and be inspired by each other. This episode explores passion and purpose: how you might begin to rekindle yours or discover a new one. I’ll be asking four questions for you to ponder. I’ve asked them of myself and insisted I follow through with what I found. May you be encouraged to do the same.

It started with her own need to lose those last 12 pounds after having twins. Courtney Gray used that desire along with motivational tips she’d picked up along the way to change her mindset. And it worked. You start with being radically honest with yourself. From there you learn how to deal with limiting beliefs, how to handle urges, along with other strategies you’ll need to be successful. You’ll likely be uncomfortable but you can do hard things. Courtney will teach, encourage and more. She’s found a passion and turned it into purpose creating ways to help women be more of who they want to be.

You can find Courtney on Instagram at Modern Life, Modern Body.

She is currently living in a place called Where America’s Day Begins. The US territory of Guam is where Annie Weber is and where she felt called to share the purpose born from her passion. It’s helping people understand the Bible, so she wrote a book and formatted it in a way to make different passages easier to understand. It’s called Astounding Truths of the Bible. Annie takes a verse, explains the context, and helps you turn it into a prayer. All of this done in a relatable way as she weaves humor and personal stories into the mix. I just ordered mine and am looking forward to diving in.

You can find Annie on Instagram at Astounding Truths.
