In this episode, host Christine Caine brings together a powerful compilation on the theme of purpose, featuring conversations with therapist and bestselling author Dr. Anita Phillips, marketplace professional Rachel Aguirre, and a listener Q&A. Whether you're navigating a career change, overthinking your calling, or wondering how to live with more clarity, this episode will remind you that purpose isn't something you find—it's something you live. Packed with wisdom on emotional health, spiritual identity, and marketplace impact, this episode will help you embrace purpose in every season.

SHOW NOTES:
Purpose Is Discovered Through Surrender
Christine encourages listeners not to overthink calling, but to take the next right step. God often reveals purpose through simple obedience, not elaborate plans.

Your Passion Is Often a Clue
Christine shares how joy, gifting, and passion can be indicators of your God-given assignment—not barriers to it.

The Power of Emotional Awareness
Dr. Anita Phillips unpacks how your emotional life is central to your spiritual formation—and how ignoring emotions can disconnect you from purpose.

Regulating Emotions Isn’t Weak—It’s Wisdom
Anita explains how emotional regulation is a biological process, not a character flaw, and why it’s crucial for leadership and calling.

Ministry in the Marketplace
Rachel Aguirre shares how she lives as a Kingdom ambassador in a corporate world, navigating integrity, calling, and impact without compromising her values.

In this episode, host Christine Caine brings together compelling insights on relationships from pastor and author Jada Edwards, clinical psychologist Dr. Rhiannon DuBois, and a listener-driven Q&A on community, marriage, and friendship. From heartbreak and healing to boundaries and biblical love, this episode dives into what it means to build meaningful connections that reflect God’s heart. Whether you’re navigating fractured friendships, marriage, divorce, the ache of loneliness, or the tension in friendships, this episode will give you wisdom and hope to move forward in love.

SHOW NOTES:
What Love Really Means
Jada Edwards shares how her own marriage tension led her to a revelation—every sin is a love issue, and healing starts when we let God define love.

Divine Love vs. Damaged Definitions
Jada unpacks how childhood wounds and unhealthy models of affection distort our view of love—and how rebuilding starts with receiving love from God first.

Healing After Heartbreak
Dr. Rhiannon DuBois shares her story of being blindsided by divorce and how God carried her through deep grief while still leading others.

Emotionally and Spiritually Coping with Loss
Rhiannon outlines healthy ways to grieve, process pain, and practically move forward using both emotional and problem-focused coping.

The Truth About Friendships and Boundaries
Christine reflects on cultivating long-term friendships, healthy expectations, and the courage it takes to love without guarantees.

In this episode, host Christine Caine brings together a powerful compilation on the theme of Leading as a Woman, featuring conversations with Dr. Kate Coleman, Dr. Anna Morgan, and a listener driven Q&A. From navigating institutional barriers to developing emotional intelligence and spiritual resilience, this episode is packed with wisdom and encouragement.

SHOW NOTES:
Owning Your Calling as a Woman
Dr. Kate Coleman shares how she stepped into leadership despite cultural resistance, learning that God didn’t call her in spite of who she was—but because of it.

From Science to Seminary
Kate opens up about her unexpected shift from a career in science to becoming the UK’s first Black female Baptist minister—and the challenges she faced along the way.

Sticky Floors and Stained-Glass Ceilings
Kate unpacks both the internal and external barriers that hold women back, from self-limiting beliefs to institutional systems that still resist women’s leadership.

Seven Areas of Leadership Formation
Dr. Anna Morgan outlines the seven key areas God uses to form female leaders—from spiritual growth and emotional intelligence to communication and relationships.

Why Environment and Networks Matter
Anna explains how denominational culture and leadership structures affect the trajectory of a woman’s calling—and why creating opportunities for women is vital.

Knowing Why You’re in the Room
Christine shares from decades of experience being “the only woman in the room,” and the importance of knowing your assignment rather than trying to prove your worth.
