God called you, not a version of you.
Purpose & Personality exists to help everyday believers hear God more clearly, embrace the unique way He created them, and walk faithfully and confidently in their calling.
Your personality is welcome here.
Spiritual growth isn’t about losing your personality.
- Your humor can glorify God.
- Your compassion can serve people.
- Your creativity can create connection.
- Your curiosity can lead you deeper.
- Your boldness can carry authority.
- Your quiet strength can make an impact without ever needing to command a room.
Mission
We exist to help everyday believers hear God more clearly, embrace the unique way He created them, and walk faithfully and confidently in their calling.
Vision
We envision a community of believers who hear God’s voice, embrace their God given design, and live out their purpose with confidence and authenticity.
What We Believe
You were never called to become a copy.
We believe following Jesus doesn’t require becoming someone else.
We believe God intentionally created people with different personalities, gifts, strengths, and stories.
We believe spiritual growth shapes your character without requiring you to erase your individuality.
We believe Scripture provides the foundation for understanding and stewarding spiritual gifts.
We believe discernment, wisdom, accountability, healing, and maturity matter.
And we believe healthy mentorship should continually point you toward Christ and strengthen your own relationship with God.
Meet Shawana
I’ve been where you are.
I know what it’s like to experience something spiritually and not completely understand what is happening.
I know what it feels like to wonder why you sense certain things, why you carry certain burdens, or why your relationship with God seems to be developing differently than the people around you.
And I know what can happen when being misunderstood makes you want to hide.
My own journey required learning, healing, discernment, confidence, and a deeper understanding of how God created me.
That journey is part of why Purpose & Personality exists.
I want to help you understand what you are experiencing, develop what God has placed inside of you, and become confident enough to walk with Him without feeling like you have to perform for anyone.
A Note From Shawana
This is the space I wish more believers knew existed.
“I created Purpose & Personality because I saw people who loved God deeply, but quietly wondered if they had to change who they are to be used by Him. I don’t believe that’s true. My heart is to create space where you can grow biblically, deepen your prayer life, develop discernment, and do so in a way that feels honest, not performative. Welcome. Your personality is welcome here.”
