Ep 284 Purpose and Surrender with Briana Gray

Do you think of your life as bringing something significant to those around you every day? Do you wake up in the morning and say, “Who’s life can I impact for you today, Lord? And does it involve a vanilla latte with extra cream?”  Or, is it too late because my life is a mess?

Today we have the lovely, Briana Gray –a fellow podcaster and a kindred spirit when it comes to hospitality. I first met Briana when she graciously hosted me to be on her podcast, Echos of Impact and Briana loves helping women find their purpose and full potential for their lives.

As a life coach, podcast host, wife and mom of four, Briana Gray, joins us today to talk about two of God's favorite topics: his purpose for our lives and our surrender to his will.

She is offering a free resource, Road Map to Purpose—here's the link.

Some gems from our conversation:

Whenever I think, "This isn't my idea..." that's when I need to pay attention to what God is leading me to do next.

A wonderful thing about our podcast, Echos of Impact, is that we give an opportunity for some women to share thier story for the very first time.

I've been learning I can be too task oriented, and people can get shifted to the side.

Releasing my schedule and agenda to God helps me remember that people are more important than my To-Do List.

Investing in others has a ripple effect where God gets lifted up and we get blessed at the same time.

A time of illness turned out to be a blessing in disguise where I had to slow down and reacquaint myself with God and with Scripture.

God isn't just after what we can do for him but for who we can be with him.
