5 Signs You're Living Outside Your God-Given Purpose: A Candid Conversation for Multipassionate Christian Women

Hey there, purpose-seeker!

I see you.

Scrolling through another day, wondering if this is really "it."

Maybe you're juggling multiple talents, feeling pulled in different directions, and secretly wondering if you're missing something bigger.

The Real Talk About Purpose

Let me be brutally honest.

Purpose isn't just a buzzword.

It's the divine GPS that transforms your scattered energy into meaningful impact.

Without it, life can feel like a never-ending cycle of chasing deadlines, fulfilling obligations, and wondering why you’re still unfulfilled.

Purpose gives

clarity in confusion,

direction in detours,

and significance in the seemingly mundane.

It’s not just about what you do but why you do it—and who you’re doing it for.

When you’re aligned with your God-given purpose, everything shifts:

• Your work feels less like a grind and more like a mission.

• Your choices become intentional rather than reactive.

• You experience peace, even in challenges, because you know you’re walking in step with God’s plan.

But here’s the kicker: discovering your purpose isn’t always a straight path. It’s a journey that requires prayer, patience, and often, a lot of trial and error.

And that’s okay because God works through the process as much as the destination.

So, if you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like you’re just existing instead of truly living, it’s time to hit the reset button.

It’s time to seek God’s guidance, reflect on your gifts, and take steps—no matter how small—toward the life He’s calling you to.

Purpose isn’t a luxury for a chosen few.

It’s a promise for everyone who’s willing to ask, seek, and trust.

Are you ready to uncover yours?

Personal Story Break

When I started my journey, I was exactly where you are.

A multipassionate Christian woman with a drawer full of half-started dreams and a heart desperate to make a difference.

I knew God had more for me, but I just couldn't crack the code.

I had read every single book I could find.

Purchased everyone's course.

Hired coaches.

Was on everybody's free webinar.

Signed up for all the freebies and PDF downloads.

Nothing. Changed.

Clearly, I was off track and didn't know it.

God had a different plan for me and I just couldn't figure it out.

Identifying the signs that you’re off track is the first step toward realignment with His plan for your life.

5 Brutally Honest Signs You're Off-Purpose

1. Soul-Crushing Exhaustion

This isn't just tired.

This is spiritual depletion.

Living outside your purpose often leads to burnout.

When you’re doing things God didn’t call you to do, even small tasks feel exhausting.

You Know You're Off-Purpose When:

• Your work feels like pushing a boulder uphill

• Sunday nights fill you with dread

• You're constantly comparing your journey to others

• Your creativity feels completely drained

• You’re Constantly Drained and Overwhelmed

• You have a pattern of saying "yes" to obligations that don’t align with your values

• There's a nagging feeling that you’re carrying burdens you weren’t meant to bear

Biblical Truth: Galatians 6:4 reminds us to "test your own actions."

Your work should produce life, not drain it.

What to Do:

Jesus said, “My yoke is easy, and my burden is light” (Matthew 11:30).

If your life feels heavy, it’s time to evaluate whether you’re pursuing what He’s placed in your heart or following someone else’s expectations.

2. Misaligned Talents vs. Calling

Newsflash: Being good at something doesn't mean it's your purpose!

It’s tempting to assume that what you’re good at automatically equals your purpose.

For example:

• A gifted singer might think they’re called to a music career when God is actually calling them to teach or mentor others.

• A talented writer might focus solely on publishing books, missing an opportunity to lead a ministry or start a nonprofit.

Remember, Moses couldn't speak well, yet led millions through his speaking.

David was a shepherd before becoming a king.

Your perceived limitations are God's invitation to supernatural breakthrough.

You Feel Unfulfilled Despite Using Your Gifts

Even if you’re excelling in an area, it might feel like something’s missing if it’s not tied to your true purpose. Signs include:

• Achieving success that feels hollow or meaningless.

• A constant nagging feeling that there’s “more” you’re supposed to be doing.

• A disconnect between your work and a sense of eternal significance.

When you’re aligned with your calling, your talents serve a bigger purpose—they’re not just about personal gain but kingdom impact.

When you’re living outside your purpose, life often feels empty or frustrating, no matter how busy you are. You might:

• Jump from job to job, hobby to hobby, or project to project, searching for something that clicks.

• Achieve goals that look great on paper but leave you feeling hollow inside.

• Sense that there’s more to life, but you can’t figure out what “more” looks like.

What to Do:

Take time to reflect and pray.

Ask God to reveal areas where you’re striving for worldly success instead of eternal significance.

3. You’re Struggling Financially Without a Clear Reason

Money conversations in Christian circles can feel awkward, but here's the truth: Kingdom provision follows kingdom assignment.

Red Flags:

• Constant financial stress

• Feeling like you're always "hustling"

• No consistent income streams

• Deep down knowing you're undervaluing your gifts

Financial challenges can be part of life, but if you’re consistently unable to make ends meet despite your best efforts, it might be a sign that you’re not operating in the area God has designed for you.

Purpose and provision often go hand in hand.

Don't you ever think that it's God's will for you to be poor so that you can pray more.

Not true.

When you’re in alignment with God’s plan, He provides the resources you need to fulfill it. This doesn’t mean you’ll never face struggles, but you’ll experience His provision in ways that strengthen your faith.

What to Do:

• Pray for clarity about your current work or business.

• Consider whether you’re using your God-given gifts in ways that serve others and glorify Him.

4. Lack of Peace and Joy

The fruit of living in God’s purpose includes peace, joy, and fulfillment, even during challenges.

If you’re feeling anxious, irritable, or disconnected, it might be because you’re not in alignment with His will.

Signs include:

• Frequently doubting your decisions or feeling uncertain about your path.

• Comparing yourself to others and feeling envious of their success.

• Experiencing a spiritual dryness or a sense that God feels distant.

What to Do:

Spend time in God’s Word and reconnect with Him in prayer.

Ask for guidance and trust the Holy Spirit to lead you.

God doesn't play hide and seek with your purpose.

He confirms through:

• Unexplainable peace

• Repeated divine appointments

• Spiritual mentors' consistent affirmation

• Supernatural open doors

JUST ASK!

5. You're Not Impacting Others

Your calling isn't just about you. It's about the lives you'll change.

If you're not seeing:

• Testimonials

• Transformed perspectives

• People experiencing breakthrough because of your work

You might be operating outside your divine design.

Your God-given purpose will always involve serving and blessing others.

If your current path feels self-centered or lacks meaningful impact, it might be time to realign.

Signs include:

• Feeling like your work lacks significance or eternal value.

• Longing to make a difference but not knowing where to start.

• Avoiding opportunities to use your gifts for God’s glory.

What to Do:

Start by identifying your spiritual gifts and talents. Reflect on how you can use them to serve your family, church, and community.

How to Get Back on Track

If any of these signs resonate with you, don’t panic.

God’s purpose for your life hasn’t disappeared—you simply need to reconnect with it.

Here are some practical steps to realign with His plan:

1. Seek God Through Prayer and Scripture

Spend intentional time in prayer, asking God to reveal His purpose for you. Dive into His Word for guidance, and pay attention to verses that speak to your heart.

2. Evaluate Your Passions and Strengths

What are you naturally drawn to? What do others often compliment you on? These can be clues to your God-given gifts.

3. Get Help From a Mentor or Coach

Sometimes, it takes an outside perspective to help you see your blind spots.

That’s why I created the Kingdom Business Clarity Blueprint—to help Christians like you discover their God-given purpose and start living it out with clarity and confidence.

4. Take a Step of Faith

Purpose is often revealed through action. Don’t wait for the perfect moment or a complete roadmap. Trust God and take the next step He’s placed before you.
