If God asked you to walk away from your dream job and everything you've ever worked for, could you do it?
Today, we are joined by the brave and brilliant Paula Faris as she shares the jaw-dropping story of walking away from her journalism career for ABC News, Good Morning America Weekend and The View.
Paula shares insight into how God got her attention, her challenge to stop finding her identitiy in career alone and what it was like to live through what she calls the "hell year".
Paula also shares:
- How the American dream was impacting her health, marriage and family.
- The 3 keys to identifying out true "vocational calling".
- Her hell year and how she came out of it stronger.
Favorite quotes:
1. When we ignore God and ignore that stirring and that restlessness in our spirit that we know is coming from Him, He will get our attention.
2. I think we can sense when something is off and God will let you know. He will got to great lengths to get your attention. I think he's trying to get a lot of our attention at this moment right now. He can use any sort of crisis for His glory to redeem the moment. To redeem your life. To redeem my life.
3. Give yourself the permission if you feel a stirring, permission to branch out, because your gifts and unique talents can translate to so many different capacities.
