"Your Purpose After the Rupture"

Rebuilding Identity When Life Splits into Before & After

Core Message

This episode speaks directly to women whose lives feel divided by a traumatic event—divorce, loss, betrayal—creating a clear "before and after." The key message: You're not behind; you're being rebuilt. Your purpose was written by God before your pain existed, and it survived your rupture.

Key Teaching Points

1. The Neuroscience of Purpose After Trauma

Attachment injuries trigger protective nervous system responses

Avoidance isn't a personality flaw—it's your amygdala protecting you

Purpose literally rewires the brain and reduces cortisol by 23%

Having purpose increases resilience markers

2. Biblical Foundation

Ephesians 2:10: You are God's workmanship, created for good works prepared beforehand

Psalm 139:13-16: Your purpose was written before conception

Isaiah 61:3: Beauty for ashes—your ashes are soil for new growth

2 Corinthians 5:17: You're becoming who you were meant to be, not just restored

3. The Four Lies That Block Purpose

"I am Not Enough" (comparison trap) → Truth: Fearfully and wonderfully made

"I am Damaged" (wounds disqualify) → Truth: God restores the years

"I am Disqualified" (past predicts future) → Truth: He who began will complete

"I am Forgotten" (God forgot you) → Truth: He knows the plans He has
