Manage episode 479856703 series 3620192
This is StRest! In this episode, Kerstin guides listeners on a powerful journey of self-discovery and spiritual alignment to help you find your God-given purpose. Whether you're in a career transition, feeling spiritually stuck, or simply overwhelmed by life’s demands, this episode is a wake-up call to re-center your life around divine direction, not worldly pressure.
Kerstin weaves together science, scripture, and personal testimony to show how purpose isn’t just a motivational concept—it’s a health imperative. You’ll hear how defining your purpose can lower stress, improve longevity, increase clarity, and deepen your walk with God. With transparent stories from her own pivot away from corporate life, Kerstin explains how discomfort can be a divine signal, and how peace, presence, and participation are the signs you're walking in alignment.
This episode also includes a step-by-step framework to write your own three-sentence purpose statement—one you can filter every life decision through, from career choices to parenting and beyond. Whether you're caregiving, starting over, or leading at the highest level, this conversation will show you that God's purpose is personal, powerful, and deeply needed in your life.
