## Resource

This is StRest! Kerstin Lindquist delivers a direct solo episode on calling, purpose, money, influence, obedience, and the stories God uses to serve other people. Based on a workshop she taught for Zeal, she walks through how to name what you really want, uncover the deeper reason behind it, and stop pretending that success, money, and impact do not matter. Instead, she shows how those desires can be brought under God’s direction and used to serve others. Kerstin breaks down the difference between calling and purpose, the “five whys” exercise, how to share your story without oversharing, and why real influence starts with authenticity and service. She also gets practical about social media, platform-building, idolization, QVC, connection, and what it looks like to obey in the dark when God asks you to move before you can see the landing.
