An Intentional Life: A Life-Giving Invitation to Uncover Your Passions and Unlock Your Purpose

by Karen Stott, Karen Stott (Narrated by)

Overview

A joy-filled life is possible...And you can have it right where you are.

Those desires that tug on your heart and keep you up at night—the big dreams, grand adventures, new experiences—require purpose and planning, time and effort. Is it possible to follow your passions while still finding joy and meaning where God has you right now?

With the voice of a close friend, Kara Stott offers insight and inspiration from her story of juggling motherhood and multiple businesses while leading Pursuit, a global entrepreneurial community. You will be empowered to...

• prepare space in your day for the endeavors that matter most to you and yours
• discover clear ways to keep your home, family, and work in healthy balance
• enjoy fresh moments of grace and gratitude as you make sure you are in your life

If you are aching for more than a cycle of never-ending demands and not-enough peace, be inspired by how God can help you discover your purpose and cultivate An Intentional Life.
