Ep.514: How To Find Purpose In Your Calling - Am I A Messenger

The Messenger Movement with Tamra Andress: Declaring Truth, Transforming Narratives & Catalyzing Christians to Speak, Write, Build; Testify

Ready to dive into a powerful story of transformation? In this heart-stirring episode, we're unpacking Paul's journey from persecutor to purpose-filled messenger, and trust me, it hits different when you see it through fresh eyes. We're talking about those "suddenly" moments when God shows up and completely wrecks your plans (in the best way possible!), just like He did with Saul on that Damascus road. Whether you're wrestling with your past, questioning your calling, or just hungry to step into your role as a messenger, this episode is your permission slip to embrace both the dramatic encounters and the daily surrender that shape our journey. I'm sharing raw insights from Acts 8 and 9, weaving in modern-day applications that'll help you see how God can use anyone – yes, even the ones breathing out "murderous threats" – for His glory. Plus, I'm spilling some tea about my own transformation story and why being a daughter matters more than any fancy title. Get ready to highlight your Bible and lean into what it truly means to be God's messenger in this season!
