What if the life you’re living right now matters more than you realize?

You have one life. And it matters more than you know! đź’ś

In this very first episode of My One Life, I’m sharing a little of my personal story and the experiences that forever changed the way I think about life, purpose, and what matters most.

From facing cancer at 18 to receiving a life-changing pulmonary hypertension diagnosis years later, I’ve been reminded that life is an extraordinary gift from God—and I don’t want to take a single day for granted.

But here’s something I’ve learned along the way: We don’t have to experience a major life event to begin living intentionally.

Sometimes, we simply need to recognize how easily we can drift from what matters most, even while doing so many good things.

In this episode, we’ll explore what it means to embrace the gift of our one life, recognize the purpose God has placed within us, and begin living with greater faith, intention, and purpose.

And I’ll share the heart behind this podcast and why I’m so excited for the conversations ahead!

In This Episode

  • The personal experiences that shaped my perspective on life and purpose.
  • Why it’s so easy to drift away from what matters most.
  • The reminder that God created you uniquely, intentionally, and for a purpose.
  • Why making an extraordinary difference doesn’t require an extraordinary life.
  • What you can expect from the My One Life Podcast.

Scripture to Soak In

“We are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works that He prepared in advance for us to do.” Ephesians 2:10

You are not an accident. God created you intentionally, with unique gifts, passions, experiences, relationships, and opportunities to make a difference.

And you don’t have to wait for a different season of life to begin living with purpose.

Your One Life Reflection

If I truly embraced the reality that my one life matters, what might I begin doing differently?

Maybe it’s something in your relationship with Jesus, being more present with your family, caring for your health, pursuing a dream, or simply slowing down enough to enjoy the life you’re living.

Approach this question with curiosity and grace—not guilt or pressure.

Your Next Faithful Step

Take a few quiet moments this week to reflect on what matters most in your current season.

Ask God to help you recognize one area where He’s inviting you to live with greater intention.

Then take one small, faithful step in that direction.

You don’t have to change everything overnight.

Just begin right where you are.

🎧 Coming Up Next

In Episode #2, Before You Do More, Come Closer, we’ll explore why a purpose-filled life begins not with accomplishing more, but with abiding in Jesus.
