How to Find Peace and Purpose Through God’s Promises with Danita Cummins

What if chasing purpose is actually stealing your peace? Today,  I chat with Danita Cummins, author of Promise Over Purpose: Unveiling the Path to a Peace-Filled Life.

Danita shares how the pressure to “find your purpose” can overshadow the serenity that comes from resting in God’s promises. With over 8,800 biblical promises to anchor us, we dive into how shifting from a purpose-driven mindset to a promise-filled life can bring real peace.

Danita and I unpack the difference between self-focused striving and a God-centered life, sharing personal stories and practical steps to trust His promises.

Get ready to be inspired!

Xo,
