Hey, sistaaa girl! Let’s talk about purpose and productivity.

Are you familiar with the life of Joseph in the Old Testament? In this episode, we will examine his life and understand the connection between purpose and productivity so that you can better grasp the concept of how one and the other helped to silence anxiety.

This may not be the productivity talk or the tips you expected to hear, but I pray it is a blessing to you.

So, grab your Bible, journal, and pen, and let’s dig in!

Why you’ve got to check out today’s episode:

• Discover how knowing your purpose helps boost productivity and silence anxiety.

• Learn how to let go of your worries and accept the present for what it is with the hope that God is preparing you for greater things.

• Take time to pause and consider the ways in which you’ve been resisting God, and where you might be able to surrender so that you can follow His lead and prosper in life.

“It is not about you getting the things done. It is about trusting God to get the things done for you and through you.”

Purpose, according to the Oxford dictionary is the reason for which something is done or created or for which something exists.

..“I cannot do it,” Joseph replied to Pharaoh, “but God will give Pharaoh the answer he desires.” Genesis 41:15-16

“Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has made all this known to you, there is no one so discerning and wise as you. 40 You shall be in charge of my palace, and all my people are to submit to your orders. Only with respect to the throne will I be greater than you.” Genesis 41:39-40
