About this episode

What a joy to have Patrick Mayberry on with me this week! I love this guy and his pastor’s heart. I so relate to his journey and I know you will too. What God has refined in his heart is an invitation for each of us. Will we let the Holy Spirit affirm and permission us to be fully alive in our calling, free from expectations and what we think it “should” look like? 


So much great ground covered here, but it’s all about believing the bigness of God and aligning our faith with who He is. Scarcity is not God’s option for us, it never has been. Regardless of the type of creativity in you, there’s encouragement and fresh oxygen in this conversation to breathe in.


I’m still so thankful to be partnering with Compassion. They’re truly being the hands and feet of Jesus and meeting poverty head on. If you’d like to change a child’s life forever, starting today, simply click here
