In this episode, host Christine Caine sits down with preacher and author Jackie Hill Perry, her husband Nick Caine, and listener Q&A to explore what it really looks like to lead with healthy rhythms. They unpack the myth of balance, the trap of hustle, and why spiritual disciplines—not perfect schedules—are what truly sustain us. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or simply stretched too thin, this conversation will bring clarity, conviction, and practical wisdom to help you lead with peace, purpose, and power.

SHOW NOTES:
The Myth of “Having It All”
Christine shares why balance isn’t the goal—health is. She reveals how viewing life as interconnected (not compartmentalized) leads to freedom, not burnout.

Discipline Over Hustle
Jackie Hill Perry gets honest about pruning fruitful things, not just broken ones. Sometimes surrender means letting go of good things for God things.

Spiritual Rhythms > Cultural Metrics
Jackie challenges the constant leaning on podcasts, Google, and quick answers instead of truly inquiring of the Lord.

Seasons Shift, So Should Your Schedule
Christine reflects on motherhood, ministry, and how obedience to God means your rhythm will shift with each season—and that’s okay.

You Need the Holy Spirit More Than a Planner
Nick Caine adds perspective from leadership, marriage, and ministry, reminding us that no system can replace daily dependence on the Spirit.

In this episode, host Christine Caine brings together a powerful compilation on the theme of purpose, featuring conversations with therapist and bestselling author Dr. Anita Phillips, marketplace professional Rachel Aguirre, and a listener Q&A. Whether you're navigating a career change, overthinking your calling, or wondering how to live with more clarity, this episode will remind you that purpose isn't something you find—it's something you live. Packed with wisdom on emotional health, spiritual identity, and marketplace impact, this episode will help you embrace purpose in every season.

SHOW NOTES:
Purpose Is Discovered Through Surrender
Christine encourages listeners not to overthink calling, but to take the next right step. God often reveals purpose through simple obedience, not elaborate plans.

Your Passion Is Often a Clue
Christine shares how joy, gifting, and passion can be indicators of your God-given assignment—not barriers to it.

The Power of Emotional Awareness
Dr. Anita Phillips unpacks how your emotional life is central to your spiritual formation—and how ignoring emotions can disconnect you from purpose.

Regulating Emotions Isn’t Weak—It’s Wisdom
Anita explains how emotional regulation is a biological process, not a character flaw, and why it’s crucial for leadership and calling.

Ministry in the Marketplace
Rachel Aguirre shares how she lives as a Kingdom ambassador in a corporate world, navigating integrity, calling, and impact without compromising her values.

Healing After Heartbreak
Dr. Rhiannon DuBois shares her story of being blindsided by divorce and how God carried her through deep grief while still leading others.

Emotionally and Spiritually Coping with Loss
