A lot of people discover purpose in the pain they have experienced, but sometimes pain is an unnecessary teacher.
An example of this is staying in a relationship with someone you know you have no business with and they take you through the ringer; or pursuing a job that takes up so much of your time that you don’t have any energy for yourself or for God.
But, in some other instances, the pain comes as a result of no decision we’ve made. It happens to us. Even though God never intended for this bad thing to happen to us, He can still use the experience to shape you for something greater.
In this episode, I had an opportunity to speak with Alicia about her journey to purpose after experiencing great pain.
