#163 – Purpose in the Pivot: Season 12 Opener

About this episode

In this season premiere, Tracie and Abigail discuss the theme 'Purpose in the Pivot' and how divine interruptions can lead to significant growth.

What happens when the path you’ve been walking suddenly takes an unexpected turn? When God interrupts your well-laid plans with a "pivot," do you see it as a setback or a setup for something greater? Often, our most significant growth happens not when things go as planned, but when we choose to follow God into the unknown with radical obedience. In this season premiere, Tracie and Abigail introduce our new theme: "Purpose in the Pivot." Throughout Season 12, we will explore the lives of great Christians—both historical and modern—who faced a divine redirection. We’re kicking things off by discussing why God sends pivots into our lives and how following Him in faith leads to impact we never could have engineered ourselves. Join us as we learn to embrace the shift and discover the beauty of a life lived in total surrender to His lead.
