3 Myths About Purpose
Ready to break free from the myths holding you back from your true purpose?
We are called to glorify God, love others, and share the gospel. The roles we take on—whether as daughters, sisters, wives, mothers, or friends—help shape our sense of purpose. But beyond these roles, God has a unique purpose designed just for you.
While discovering that purpose may seem overwhelming, it’s actually simpler than we think.
In this message, Carla reveals three common myths that hold us back from embracing our God-given purpose—and three powerful truths to help us step into it with confidence.

What Audiences are Saying
Terisha Tatter
Hilton Head, SC
Thank you, Carla, for the beautiful retreat. I loved the time alone (that I don’t give myself permission enough to do) and connecting with other women.
I’ve been too busy taking care of everybody else. I also hadn’t realized how much I missed -- and how important it is to have -- time bonding with other amazing women. It was a magical day and I am left wanting more.
In the months since, I’ve spent more time doing what I love. I'm happier and feel I’m more of a “whole person” again. It all started with the retreat!
Kristy Lodigensky
Hilton Head, SC
I was feeling kind of lost as to my purpose, so I was excited to take part in a mini-retreat. I left the retreat feeling more grounded about what I need to focus on: finding worthwhile ways to use the gifts God’s given me.
This focus has given me the courage to get out there and make some changes I’ve been thinking about for a long time. After 20 years of focusing on my sons’ activities, I’ve rejoined the workforce and am loving contributing and helping in creative, new ways.
