Created For More

The 124th installment of Created For More, The Podcast is another amazing rerun episode with Dr Sam Ekundayo. It was such a delight to host the phenomenal Dr Sam Ekundayo. Dr Sam is a Senior Lecturer, an Author, a Life Coach, a Preacher and a Transformational Speaker who is based in Auckland, New Zealand.
He is often referred to as the “Purpose Preacher” and his mandate is to help people discover their purpose, for fulfilling, influential and impactful lives.
On today’s show, Dr Samuel speaks about the process of discovering one’s purpose and the distinction between our gifts and our divine purpose. He says “Gifts were given for purpose and not the other way round. Many people mistake their gifts for their purpose and “exalt the gift more than the gift giver”
This powerful masterclass will open up your eyes to the importance of stepping into what you have been called you to do and also impress upon you that “whatever God has called you to do, he has already put the ability inside of you”
On this today’s podcast, Dr Sam also shares his truly inspirational personal story.
