What does God want me to do with my life, especially when the path I’m on no longer feels right? Bobby McGraw sits down with Dr. Jennifer Keitt to talk about success, purpose, waiting, emotions, and learning to recognize God’s direction when life stops making sense.
Jennifer takes us back to age 27, when she had checked every box but still found herself deeply dissatisfied. What followed was what she calls her “summer of chaos,” a season that changed the direction of her life. She shares how God used waiting, trial and error, Scripture, relationships, and even disorientation to shape her next steps. For anyone wondering whether they are behind, missing God, or simply unsure what to do next, this conversation offers a different way to think about finding purpose.
Key Takeaways
● Success does not automatically mean you are living the life you were made for.
● Feeling disoriented can be an invitation to pay attention to what is happening beneath the surface.
● Hearing God often looks like Scripture, wise questions, trial and error, peace, and taking the next step.
● Purpose usually unfolds over time rather than arriving as a complete roadmap.
● Your emotions can provide important clues as you discern what is happening in your life.
