#9 - Why your life FEELS meaningless (how to find your purpose)

The Deep End w/Taylor Welch

NOTE

Gaining Authority over Challenges

Facing and overcoming personal challenges is a prerequisite to gaining authority over them. Wrestling with insecurities or struggles is a common path to developing the ability to help others overcome similar issues. Difficulties that persist or lead to chaos could indicate a calling or assignment meant to be tackled. By confronting and mastering these challenges, individuals can cultivate empathy for others and develop a deeper understanding of their purpose, similar to the story of Jonah and the whale.

If you are supposed to have authority over something, you will get beat by that thing before you get authority over it. So with me, it's always been insecurity. Like my vice, so to speak, has always been insecurity. And I think that confuses people because even at events, like I will share how I feel less than because one channel is not growing or because this business is not flourishing the right way. What I've learned over the years is that I am uniquely positioned now to help people get free of insecurity because I have wrestled with this so long. You hear the same thing with people who are tied up in pornography and they've struggled with it their whole lives. So, okay, well, God's giving you the minion over something, authority over something, and you are going to have to face off with it before you have real authority over that thing. So watch for the things that just seem to not work. Watch for the things that seem to almost be like a gateway for chaos. Those things oftentimes are missional callings and assignments. And once you get through the other side, you are going to not empathy for all of the other people you're supposed to help. This is my theory of Jonah and the whale. And you've heard this. People are like, oh, Jonah got thrown into a whale because he was disobedient.
