Embrace Your Power

Planted in Purpose - Guest: Arika Davenport

Listen Later

Arika Davenport has given herself fully to purpose. She has been willing to make some really tough decisions in life to pursue that which she believes God is calling her to accomplish and do. Arika is a purpose coach, she's an author, she creates courses and she is a speaker, but, more than that, she is a prayer warrior. She has started showing up to bring prayer to life for women who are entrepreneurs through her podcast. One of her phrases, a mantra that I believe is powerful, says “You are more than the roles you play. You are a woman with purpose.”

Our responsibility is more than the role; it is who we are. When we give ourselves fully and we trust God to help us on the journey, well, we can accomplish some amazing things.

Have you ever stopped and asked or said to yourself: I know that there is more to me than this?

That's where Arika found herself and she began to make some defining moment choices. She shook off fear, and did the work. She knew she could take care of herself and hold fast to her faith as she blossomed in purpose. Listen to this in the midst of your everyday tasks whether it be working, cooking, cleaning, or taking care of family. Let's check in with her now.
