ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Hey friends! Welcome to Girls’ Night!

Now, wherever you are right now — in your car, on a walk, making dinner — I want you to raise your hand if you’ve ever asked this question: “God, what do you want me to do with my life?”

I’m pretty sure we’ve ALL wrestled with this question a time or 20. I know I have.

We want to do work we care about, we want to do work that’s meaningful and impactful, and work we enjoy. We know that we’re only given one wild and precious life, and we want to spend it well — making a difference in the world. We know that God created us on purpose for a purpose, and we don’t want to miss that purpose.

Right? Anyone know what I’m talking about here?

And while some of us easily find ourselves in jobs and situations that feel like just the right fit, I think most of us spend a lot of time fumbling around in the dark. And that can be so hard, so confusing, and actually really painful!

That’s why I’m so excited about today’s episode.

Our guest for today’s episode is Jamie Ivey. Jamie is an author and the host of the amazing Happy Hour podcast, and today she’s going to help us navigate this question in our lives.

She’s going to help us know:

What God and His word calls you to do as a follower of Jesus
How to figure out what you’re good at and what unique gifts God has given you
How to know where God is leading you and how to hear from Him
How to avoid missing your calling in life
