An internal inventory - the journey of healing

Purposeful Living — Tue, 14 Sep 2021 20:30:00 -0400

Healing is a process, and one we often avoid for fear of the pain that might come with it. Our guest shares her journey of healing and talks about how we have to take an internal inventory to identify and succesfully heal from things that are causing us pain. She encourages us to be patient, to seek and ask for forgiveness, to praise God and to be rooted in Christ in the steps she has outilined in her book, as we embark on the journey of healing.

From her journey of loss, our guest learned to trust God by not only listening to the Word and God's promises, but by applying a practical approach. By taking an internal inventory she became aware of not only the spiritual growth needed, but the physical and emotional changes that needed to take place as well. She reminds us that when we come out of our own journey of healing, we are better able to walk alongside others in their times of trial.

Planted Not Buried

Purposeful Living — Tue, 31 Aug 2021 07:00:00 -0400

In life there are different seasons that we may face. We can sometimes become impatient and frustrated, especially when it seems like we are in a waiting season. It is in these times that we can perhaps view our situations as being planted and not buried: allowing God to work in us and grow deeper roots.

When we are honest with ourselves about the season we are in we can better tap into what we need - sometimes we need to reach out for help, and other times we are in seasons where we can give. There is so much to learn from every season we encounter and we are reminded that no season lasts forever. In Ecclesiatses 3: 1-8 is says: "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens..." What season are you in right now? How can we as Purposeful Living INC support you through this season?

The sond Nadine mentions is Turn! Turn! Turn! by the The Byrds.

Pursuing Your Destiny

Purposeful Living — Tue, 17 Aug 2021 07:00:00 -0400

We all have a destiny; one only we can fulfill, one the world needs. Our destiny is determined by our intentionality to pursue purpose.

We empower ourselves when we view our journeys as either learning or winning, and give ourselves the opportunity to embrace the season we're in and find purpose in the wins and the challenges that life brings our way. We can find comfort in knowing that God walks alongside us as we pursue our destiny and hold onto the reminder that we don't have to overthink or overcomplicate things.

Healing Environments (Part 2)

Purposeful Living — Tue, 03 Aug 2021 09:00:00 -0400

In Part 2 of "Healing Environments" we take a deeper look at how we can set ourselves up to create healing environments in our lives. With the awareness that we need to remove obstacles and move towards making more healthy choices, there is a new element we need to consider: Our thoughts.

As much as we need to make adjusments to our physical environment, we also need to take stock of our inner thoughts and how they contribute to our health. Mindfulness is a core component of this. As we continue to add to our toolbox, what simple routines can you create to ensure you're filling your mind with positive, healing thoughts?

Embracing Freedom

Purposeful Living — Tue, 13 Jul 2021 13:30:00 -0400

Freedom means different things to different people. For us, freedom means being set free through Jesus's sacrifice on the cross; we don't have to strive for it or try to earn it because it has been given to us as a gift.

In this episode we explore 3 aspects of freedom and how that relates not only to our personal growth but to our ability to make an impact in this world. Share with us - what does freedom mean to you?

Purposeful Playfulness

Purposeful Living — Tue, 29 Jun 2021 13:00:00 -0400

As we get older we sometimes forget to be playful. We get bogged down by the seriousness of life and forget to look on the bright side.

There are many ways in which we can incorporate play in our lives and ensure it becomes a priority. Being playful and focusing on the joy in our lives helps us to show up more fully not only for others but for ourselves as well.

We spread light and joy when we allow oursleves to let our guards own, to put down the to-do list and to revel in the joys of life.

Experiencing Joy

Purposeful Living — Tue, 15 Jun 2021 16:15:00 -0400

There is a difference between fun and joy. Fun can be temporary in its sometimes fleeting nature. When we esperience joy it enriches our lives. When we accept where we are and find joy even through the difficult seasons, we are able to be in gratitude. We need to be intentional about cultivating joy in our lives.

Genuine connections

Purposeful Living — Tue, 01 Jun 2021 08:00:00 -0400

Loneliness is a significant problem in our community. We sometimes feel that we can't be our authentic selves and as a result become disconnected from others and from God. We feel our problems are insignificant in relation to others, and so we don’t share or reach out for help. In order to build genuine connection with others, we need to feel safe to not only be ourselves but open up about what’s bothering us. We need to take time to pause, be honest with ourselves and embrace who we are and where we are to process through what we’re going through.

Shining your light

Purposeful Living — Thu, 20 May 2021 09:00:00 -0400

We are called to shine our light - proudly, authentically, brightly! Sometimes though, the darkness comes to try and extinguish our light and that's when we most need support and encouragement. In this episode Nadine and her guest explore the beauty of each of our indivudual lights and are reminded that we need to stand together to bring greater light into the world.

Overcoming Grief

Purposeful Living — Wed, 12 May 2021 10:30:00 -0400

TRIGGER WARNING
We often think that grief only comes in one form but the reality is that grief comes in different ways. You may be grieving the loss of a loved one, a lost opportunity, a broken relationship, a missed expectation. In this episode Nadine’s guest shares her journey of grief and the strength she finds in Christ. She highlights that the road to healing starts by acknowledging the feelings, accepting the hurt, and having to choose to shift her perspective to find the purpose in her pain.

Living Authentically

Purposeful Living — Thu, 15 Apr 2021 21:00:00 -0400

It's time for you to live an authentic life - remembering who you are at the core and trusting the person God created us to be.

Purposeful Living — Thu, 01 Apr 2021 11:30:00 -0400

It can be so easy to focus our time and energy on what drags us down - leaving us in a state of discontent. It's important to take the time to shift our attention and focus on what's good in our lives, even the smallest things.

Finish strong

Purposeful Living — Mon, 28 Dec 2020 16:00:00 -0500

We all set goals for ourselves, and put a lot of pressure on what the success of those looks like. When we shift our perspective and focus on truth, we see that we are more often than not doing our best. With the end in mind and being groundly rooted in our 'why' we can work towards finishing strong!

Celebrating progress

Purposeful Living — Wed, 23 Dec 2020 11:30:00 -0500

Although this year has been a chalenging one, as it comes to a close, let's take time to reflect and put on our good-finding glasses as we celebrate the wins (big or small) from 2020.

Knowing your value!

Purposeful Living — Wed, 02 Dec 2020 13:00:00 -0500

Sometimes we struggle with feeling as if we are not enough. We get caught up in trying to prove ourselves. We strive for perfection especially in the eyes of others. This often leads to us comparing ourselves to others. Our guest shares her experience and talks about how having self awareness that you are stuck in a cycle of comparing or thinking you are not enough is a huge step forward. We all need to be anchored by the truth of who God says we are.

Purposeful Joy

Purposeful Living — Wed, 25 Nov 2020 11:45:00 -0500

We all desire to have a joyful home but this doesn't happen automatically. We have to be intentional about creating an environment where joy is a priority. It is evident that the presence of joy is in our lives when it permeates beyond ourselves and impacts our families and all those around us.

The Path to Healing

Purposeful Living — Wed, 28 Oct 2020 04:00:00 -0400

Healing is an integral part of our mental and emotional wellbeing. It starts with an awareness of places we need to heal. When we find ourselves stuck in patterns that no longer serve us, deeper healing is necessary.

Choosing to Speak Life

Purposeful Living — Tue, 15 Sep 2020 21:45:00 -0400

Our words have power! Whether we realize it or not, what we say can significantly impact our day, our behavior and every aspect of our lives. When we speak, we get to choose to either speak life or criticism. Our guest shares how her words were influencing her closest relationships.

The Power of Community

Purposeful Living — Mon, 07 Sep 2020 23:00:00 -0400

We often underestimate the power of community. It's more than just a group of people who share something in common. Who we choose to be around and who we allow to be a part of our circle is so important. When we are in community we are able to heal and grow. We all need a space where we can be authentic, and have people who pour into us, as much as we pour into them. As Purposeful Living INC community is especially important to us as we work to serve the isolated woman.
