In this heartfelt episode of EVOLVE thru God, Angela Goodman welcomes author, speaker, and coach Jennifer Mentesana for a deeply authentic conversation about rediscovering purpose through faith, surrender, and divine redirection.
Jennifer’s story is one of resilience and revelation. After years of success in media and business — and the heartbreaking loss of a restaurant during the pandemic — she found herself at a breaking point, waking in the night with a panic attack that became a spiritual awakening. In that still moment, God spoke: “You already know what to do.”
That message reignited the creative spark within her — the performer, the communicator, the little girl who once dreamed of being on stage. Through that divine reminder, Jennifer was led back to her calling: helping others rediscover who they are, remember their God-given gifts, and follow the breadcrumbs toward purpose.
From writing her book Guided by Grace to launching her podcast Where Passion Meets Purpose, Jennifer embodies what it means to surrender control, rebuild faith, and walk boldly in divine alignment.
Lessons Learned:
God speaks when we finally get still. Panic, loss, and silence often precede divine revelation.
You already know the answer. God’s whispers are reminders of the truth you’ve buried beneath survival.
Surrender is the doorway to provision. When you stop controlling outcomes, you make room for miracles.
Your childhood dreams are clues, not coincidences. They’re glimpses of the purpose you came here to fulfill.
Faith is a daily decision. It’s not about proof — it’s about trust, even when God seems quiet.
The Gift of This Episode:
A sacred reminder that God never forgets who you are — even when you do. When you follow the breadcrumbs He leaves, you’ll find your purpose waiting right where you left it.
