In this episode, Wendy sits down with Danita Cummins, author of Promise over Purpose, to explore the transformative power of resting in God’s promises rather than chasing after purpose. They discuss how embracing rest, prioritizing what delights us, and surrendering to God's provision can bring peace and joy, releasing us from the pressure of determining our purpose in this lifetime. Danita shares how the constant pursuit of purpose often leads to anxiety and fear, while trusting in God's promises—especially those of wisdom, provision, and grace—offers true fulfillment. Together, they remind us that our lives matter, and by embracing God’s promises, we can offer something beautiful to the world every day.
