Ep. 05 Purpose from Pain

ELEVATION CHURCH
About this episode

In this episode we are taking a look at how going through immense pain can lead to discovering your purpose. British radio and television producer John Lloyd struggled with major depression for a decade. He became curious about everything in order to overcome it. Through his struggle, he created an acclaimed BBC show based on curiosity. Diane experienced sexual abuse as a child, rape in high school, abusive relationships, alcohol and drugs. Now she works with Ascent 121. A faith-based organization that helps teen girls who have been commercially trafficked. Emotional pain is something every human experiences. How can we discover our purpose through that pain?
