Have you wondered if your great product, skill, or service is enough?
Today's guest is Jacqui Wilson, a ministerial entrepreneur who is passionate about utilizing her God-given gifts to empower others to fulfill their purpose.
She shares why a great product, service, or skill isn't enough. Jacqui encourages listeners to understand that everyone has something valuable to offer, but the reason behind what we do matters more than the product or service.
Wilson states that people need to hear our motivations and connect with why we're doing our work. Someone out there will resonate with your story and think, "That sounds just like me."
Jacqui shares her story of transitioning from law to children's ministry. We discuss how to discover the purpose God planned for our lives. Wilson emphasized the need to focus on positives and discern a pure-hearted mission centered on meeting the needs of others.
Jacqui states that everyone has a skill. List your talents and positive traits. When you use your skills to serve God's purpose, he will expand your abilities. The Lord will show you how to develop and strengthen as we seek him and depend upon him to guide us.
We discuss how to pivot or shift by praying for clarity and studying scripture. Jacqui shares her personal experience with taking steps from one career into a new life mission by following the guidance of the Holy Spirit. She encourages listeners to pay attention to the needs and circumstances pointing toward how to serve God and others.
Jacqui and I also talk about pitfalls and perseverance, noting how the Lord equips us to learn and grow through failures. She also emphasizes the importance of Christ-centered confidence. Failure can help us grow stronger. Keep your life-changing mission in mind.
We discuss how to discern your niche when you're passionate about a variety of things. Jacqui advises listeners to consider practical aspects along with narrowing the focus to remain within a single mission.
Sometimes we need to bring in support to help us do our work well. We can also use previous experiences to equip us for new areas of service. We discuss the examples of Moses and Joseph. Jacqui shares how practicing law taught her problem-solving skills that equipped her to better serve in children's ministry.
If we're willing to listen, the Lord guides us toward the purpose he planned for us. Jacqui emphasizes that you have a story and a purpose.
