What is Your Purpose? When More isn't enough

What is Your Purpose? When More isn't enough

In this honest Bible study for women, Patricia Calixte (Patty Pat) tackles a question too many women are still avoiding: Why am I here? What is my purpose? And why do so many people chase success, money, recognition, and “more,” only to still feel empty inside? Using examples from public figures like Jim Carrey, Tom Brady, Will Smith, Naomi Osaka, and Taylor Swift, this message shows why success without God still leaves the soul empty. Through a modern-day story and the powerful example of Moses, this message shows why success without God will never satisfy the soul, why low self-esteem keeps women fighting their calling, and why true peace, identity, and purpose can only be found in Jesus Christ. If you’ve ever felt stuck, overlooked, confused about who you are, tired of trying to prove yourself, or afraid you’re not qualified for what God may be asking of you, my sister, this message is for you!

Feeling Like a Lost Cause? God Is Not Done With You!

In this Bible study for women, Patricia Calixte (Patty Pat) walks through the life of Joseph and shows how God can take a person through betrayal, slavery, false accusation, prison, delay, and seasons that make absolutely no sense… and still bring that person exactly where He intended all along. We begin with the powerful testimony of Nicky Cruz, the former Mau Mau gang leader from New York, and the radical obedience of David Wilkerson, the preacher who refused to give up on him. Because when people saw violence, darkness, and a lost cause, God saw a preacher, an evangelist, and a life that would help lead millions toward Jesus Christ. Then we turn to Joseph.Because Joseph’s story carries that same kind of shock.When people looked at Joseph, they saw the pit, the slavery, the prison, the false accusation, and the delay. But God was never looking only at Joseph’s current condition. God was looking at where He was taking him.

And if you stay until the end, there is a declaration over your life to help you reject every lie that says your story is over, surrender your process back to God, and remember what is possible through Jesus Christ! Welcome to To Run or Not To Run with Jesus Christ, where Scripture meets storytelling and sisterhood, so women can come out of fear, shame, confusion, survival mode, and discouragement… and step into truth, purpose, surrender, healing, and real dependence on Jesus.

Anxiety. Intimidation. Low self-esteem.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, scared of the future, afraid to move, afraid to leave, afraid to obey God, or afraid you’re not enough… my sister, this message is for you.

Stop Letting People Define Your Worth! (Gideon)

Have you ever felt overlooked, rejected, underestimated, or not good enough? Maybe you've spent years letting people tell you who you are. Maybe you've accepted labels that God never gave you. Maybe you've started believing that because life got messy, your value somehow decreased. My sister, this message is for you. In this Bible study for women, Patricia Calixte (Patty Pat) explores what happens when we allow people to become our mirror instead of God. Through the stories of Gideon, Ben Carson, and a woman who discovered extraordinary value hidden inside what everyone else dismissed as worthless, you'll learn why your worth is not determined by your past, your mistakes, other people's opinions, or your current circumstances. Because people can misprice you. People can misunderstand you. People can reject you. But only the Creator has the authority to tell you what you're truly worth!
