Summary

What if your purpose has less to do with how useful you are and much more about being loved, first? In a culture obsessed with performance, this conversation explores what it means to root identity in love before productivity. Catherine Cowell and I reflect on how calling, purpose, and gifting can all become distorted without a deeper foundation. At 23:20-25:45 Catherine listed 5 things that help to find your calling. They are: Something that you have an intrinsic motivation towards Something that you can get better at that you really enjoy Something you can do in community with other people Something which has a deep sense of meaning for you Something where you sense that you are contributing to something greater than yourself Charting Life: https://rss.com/podcasts/chartinglife/ Follow Catherine: Website - Website: www.lovedcalledgifted.com Finding God's Feminine Side by Catherine Cowell https://a.co/d/12YGZRQ
