Positioned for Purpose Conversations with Colette Marie

Send us Fan Mail Pain has a way of making God feel distant, even when you want to believe He’s close. I’m Colette Marie, and I’m speaking to the woman of faith who is tired, hurting, and quietly wondering, “What could God possibly do with this?” I slow down and tell the truth about my own worst season after my marriage ended: the heartbreak, the loneliness, the fear about the future, and the days when I didn’t even feel like praying. Instead of skipping to a neat ending, I share how desperat...

Send us Fan Mail The lights are bright, but your heart might not be. We gathered around a hard truth: the holidays can amplify loss, whether it’s a loved one who’s gone, a relationship that ended, or plans that never took shape. From the first pang of seeing an empty chair to the quiet dread of a calendar packed with cheer you don’t feel, we name the ache and offer a path toward peace that doesn’t demand you pretend. I share my own journey through separation and divorce, and how that first C...

Send us Fan Mail When the wind howls and the lights go out, what keeps us on our feet? We open our hearts to the reality of Hurricane Melissa’s impact across Jamaica and the Caribbean and trace a path from shock to steady ground. Our focus is simple and strong: God as a firm foundation, resilience as a shared practice, and hope that breathes even when the roof is gone. We begin by naming the big question: how do you remain standing before, during, and after a storm that seems set to destroy ...

Send us Fan Mail What if the place you’d rather leave is the exact ground where God is shaping your future? We explore a raw season of working a new part-time job that didn’t feel like a “fit,” and how small, timely graces—helpful teammates, kind leaders, and even a customer’s compliment—reframed everything. Instead of labeling the assignment as punishment, we unpack how Romans 8:28 becomes a lived posture: all things are being woven for good when we choose obedience, pay attention to favor, ...

Send us Fan Mail Have you ever made a decision you felt God was leading you toward, only to find yourself questioning everything when the path didn't unfold as expected? That's exactly where I found myself after five years of entrepreneurship, facing the humbling reality of taking a job at a fast-food restaurant to make ends meet. The question that kept haunting me was simple yet profound: "Did I really hear God correctly?" After leaving my stable career in December 2019 to pursue speaking, ...

Send us Fan Mail Fifty episodes! What a journey it's been—not always consistent, not always on schedule, but always guided by purpose and faith. This milestone episode brings heartfelt reflections on perseverance and the courage to keep showing up despite life's distractions. When discouragement threatens to derail us, when "life is lifing" as they say, we often question whether our gifts still matter. The answer couldn't be clearer: they matter more than ever. God knew exactly what would be...

That frustrating gap between divine revelation and manifestation is exactly what we're tackling in this soul-stirring episode. The waiting season tests not just our faith but our understanding of how God operates. When He plants visions in our hearts that seem perpetually stalled, we face tough questions: Did I hear Him correctly? Am I...
