The Made for More Podcast
Have you ever thought to yourself “There’s got to be more to all of this?” Or “What was I made for?” Then you’ve come to the right place!
The Made for More podcast is about helping individuals discover their purpose, how to step into it, and how to use it to make an impact on other people’s lives. It is a place to dive into how God orchestrated abundantly more for us than we often realize. We will touch on various topics such as identity, friendship, trials, living in today’s culture, and so much more! We will grow, laugh, cry and try together as we aim to live a life that is ultimately made for more than just you and I - because that’s when life gets good!
