What happens when one moment of truth shifts your entire life?

In this impactful episode of Purpose by Design, Dr. Pamela Henkel welcomes Trunnis Goggins—military veteran, educator, publisher, and visionary leader—who shares how a single challenge to “go further” changed the trajectory of his life. From the military to earning his PhD, Trunnis reveals the power of mentorship, obedience, and purpose.
