Do you know WHY God made you the way He did? And what if the thing you’re best at is already being used for the wrong reason?

What if you’ve been working hard, climbing higher… only to realize you’ve been climbing the wrong ladder?

My sister, knowing what you’re good at isn’t the same as knowing WHY God gave it to you.

In this Bible study and Christian message for women, Patricia Calixte (Patty Pat) continues Daniella’s real-life testimony and looks at the life of Samson to uncover what can happen when you know what you carry… but don’t fully understand what God gave it FOR.

Stay until the end for a declaration and prayer as we bring our identity, gifts, direction and purpose back under the leadership of Jesus Christ.

What does a mature godly man actually look for in a wife? And while you’re wondering where Mr. Right is, could God be preparing you for something deeper than simply being chosen by a man?

In this honest Bible study and Christian dating message for women, Patricia Calixte (Patty Pat) shares the final chapter of Stephanie’s testimony—this time from her husband Nathan’s perspective. After decades apart, what made Nathan reach out to Stephanie? What drew him to her? And what eventually made him believe she could be the woman he wanted to marry?

Through Stephanie and Nathan’s real-life story and the biblical story of Ruth and Boaz, this message explores 5 important qualities a mature godly man may value in a wife—and why character, faith, loyalty, maturity, and a genuine relationship with God can reveal far more than beauty, status, or appearances ever could.

In this message, you’ll discover what Nathan saw in Stephanie before romance even began, why a woman’s relationship with God should become visible in the way she lives, and why becoming “wife material” is not about performing, manipulating, or manufacturing yourself into the woman a man might choose.

How can you tell if a man may truly be the right man God has for you? What separates a godly man from someone who simply looks good on paper?

In this honest Bible study and Christian dating message for women, Patricia Calixte (Patty Pat) shares Chapter 5 of Stephanie’s testimony and the final chapter of her journey from disappointing relationships, deception, and Mr. Wrongs to discovering the kind of man she had been praying for.

Through Stephanie’s testimony and Scripture, this message explores 3 signs that a man may be the right man God has for you.

Because a man can be attractive, successful, intelligent, charming, and check a whole lot of boxes... and still not be the man God has for you.

Meanwhile, the man who checks fewer boxes may possess the qualities that matter the most.

The goal is not simply to find a husband.

The goal is to stay so close to God that when the right man appears, you can discern the kind of character God has been teaching you to value all along.

In this honest Bible study for women, Patricia Calixte (Patty Pat) tackles a question too many women are still avoiding: Why am I here? What is my purpose? And why do so many people chase success, money, recognition, and “more,” only to still feel empty inside?

Through a modern-day story and the powerful example of Moses, this message shows why success without God will never satisfy the soul, why low self-esteem keeps women fighting their calling, and why true peace, identity, and purpose can only be found in Jesus Christ.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, overlooked, confused about who you are, tired of trying to prove yourself, or afraid you’re not qualified for what God may be asking of you, my sister, this message is for you!
