What does it look like to truly put God first—and allow Him to use your life for His purposes?
In this episode of the Strong Tower Mental Health Podcast, Heidi sits down with Bible teacher, ministry leader, and Impactors for Christ podcast host Joyce Erickson. Joyce shares her powerful testimony—from encountering Jesus as a teenager, through years of living with one foot in the world, to fully surrendering her life to God and stepping into a calling she never could have planned for herself.
Joyce shares how God led her from studying and teaching the Bible to developing a Christian college program, serving as its president, and eventually encouraging others to use their gifts to impact the world for Christ.
In this episode, you'll discover:
Joyce's story is a beautiful reminder that you don't have to have your entire calling figured out—you simply need to be willing to follow God one step at a time.
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths." — Proverbs 3:5–6 NKJV
Life starts to have purpose when you put God first
You start to respect yourself and you stop focusing on what the other person is doing and you start to have purpose in life.
