What does it mean to stop settling and choose a purposeful life?
To live your best life, you must become the person that God designed you to be. The question to ask yourself is how? What do you do? How do you find it? What does it actually look like? What steps can you take? How do you get the life you want? Is that even possible? You can look around you and see there are people that are going places, that are reaching high, that are succeeding, but then you can also see those people that settle, those people who don't believe that they have any control over their circumstances. They're just not willing to put in the effort to better their situation. So here's the thing: you have a choice. You can do the work and you can achieve more. Or you can shrink back and just let life happen to you.
If you are done with small, with safe, with settling, then stick around as I discuss some of the tangible things that you can do to live a life of meaning and purpose filled with contentment and happiness. Let's go. Hey friends, come take a look below the surface with me. Listen, God never meant for us to live in the shallows. Let's take a peek into the depths of who God is and who he designed us to be. I'm Jennifer Cudmore, your expedition host, here to guide the conversation as we dive into who we are and break free of who we've been. Let's explore beneath the surface of our hearts and emotions. Let's examine the way we think and speak, how we relate to others, and why we behave in certain ways. Tune in weekly for fresh perspectives and rich reflection to activate a life of meaning and purpose that can only be discovered in the depths.
Hey there, welcome to the show. Thanks for joining us here. Today we're going below the surface on the idea of what it means to live your best life. This is something that a lot of people talk about. And I do think that there are uh some believers in certain circles who feel like the the idea of going after your best life is not biblical. And so I want to dive into that a little bit. Uh typically you know, in general, people want to live a good life, right? That's what most people have as a goal. They want to enjoy themselves. They want to have meaning and purpose. They want to have fulfillment. They want to make a difference. Those kinds of things. But not everybody really understands the tangible steps of how to get there.
And so I thought I would just share, you know, is kind of pondering my own journey and what did this look like for me? And how did I come to understand what it means to live your best life and understand that yes, God does want me to pursue. um becoming all that he designed me to be to to gaining, you know, what people term the best life. And so I I'm just gonna share a five key areas that got highlighted for me on my journey that have really helped me. to better my situation and my circumstances and become a better version of myself so that I can I'm able to accomplish more for the kingdom of of God and uh fulfill my purpose. So Let me just start off with The Bible verse of Jeremiah twenty nine, eleven.
And there's a whole bunch of Bible verses we could use God that God does talk about. Um, prosperity and um abundance. And there's a lot of misunderstanding around it in that uh you know, the whole idea of what people have termed through the prosperity gospel, which essentially means God wants everyone to be rich, and and we know that's not true. Um, so there are misunderstandings on the idea of living your best life, and I believe that every Christian uh just needs to kind of work that out for themselves. I believe that God does have a best life for each of us that we need to lean into. So this Bible verse is uh or set of scriptures rather is found in Jeremiah 10 through fourteen. This is what the Lord says, When seventy years are completed for Babylon, I will come to you and fill my gracious promise to bring you back to this place.
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord. Plans to prosper you, not to harm you, plans to give you hope in a future. And then you will call on me and come and pray to me and I will listen to you.
