Lately, I’ve realized I’ve lost interest in so many things I used to love.
YouTube used to be my spot. I’ve been tuning in since 2010, and for years, it was the place I went to escape my personal life, distract myself from purpose, and just stay entertained. You couldn’t tell me anything about the OG makeup gurus and the evolution of brand trips. Luxury vlogs, hauls, dinners, and dreamy vacations kept me tuned in for all the wrong reasons at that time.
But now? I approach YouTube with a completely different mindset. I used to know exactly who I wanted to watch and what I wanted to tune into. These days, it feels different. At first, that shift frustrated me—because where my old interests used to live, there was now this strange gap. And if you’re a creative, you know—boredom feels like the enemy.
It started to feel like the content being pushed at me was forced, hollow, and completely misaligned with where I’m going. Entrepreneurship podcasts lose me because so much of it is rooted in money, self-glorification, and vanity. Luxury vlogs and solo vacations with the absence of children and family don’t appease me anymore. The moment I hear something superficial or out of alignment with my faith, I quickly turn it off. At first, I thought something was wrong with me. But in reality, God has shifted me.
Over the past year, God has been changing me deeply. He’s opened my eyes to things beyond entertainment or consumption. My attention has shifted from distraction to destiny—from consumerism to leadership. I don’t just want content anymore; I want impact. Who I tune into now is intentional, because I know what I consume affects what I create.
I realized it’s not that I lost passion. It’s that my heart started craving something deeper, which is community.
Not just any community, but one rooted in growth, healing, and transformation. I want to walk with people who are pursuing God wholeheartedly, who are developing personally and spiritually to become who God called them to be. I want to be around people building their legacy in real time while helping others do the same.
These days, I find myself tuning into conversations about technology, innovation, purpose-driven career paths, and building better communities. I’m drawn to creators who are focused on impact over image. The small, authentic builders inspire me more than the polished finishers—because that’s the kind of community I want to be part of.
My church has been speaking a lot about helping the lost and broken, and that message has taken root in me. It’s made me realize that I don’t want to be surrounded by people who are only chasing influence. I want to build with those chasing impact. People who aren’t living for followers, but for souls.
That’s the shift in me. I no longer see escape the same way. The “old comforts” feel shallow now because I know better. My new self-awareness reminds me daily: I’m here to serve, to build, to help others walk in their purpose.
At the end of the day, my mission is clear: to help others build with impact, not just influence. To walk alongside those who are pursuing God above everything else. To create spaces where we can grow, heal, and chase purpose together.
I love that my church has an opportunity to build small groups and have mission trips every year, and invite all denominations into its building. It’s inspiring to see so many people chasing after God with a God-given vision and purpose for their lives. To be a part of a community of people who are changing lives and doing what they love to do inspires me and gives me much hope as an Entrepreneur.
I now realize that anyone who decides to connect with me will be purposeful and intentional. I’m not interested in catering to large crowds or building a community based on self-driven motives. I’d rather five people tune into what I’m building than a hundred misaligned people.
I pray your perspective shifts in this season as well.
I pray you build your business or social media influence with much more meaning and impact. I pray the books that you write hold deep revelations that help unlock parts of others they never knew existed. I pray your music tells stories of love, loss, and triumph to help inspire others to keep going. I pray that whatever you do for God becomes a rewarding life’s work. If you resonate with this post and find yourself on a similar path, make sure to leave a comment so others can be inspired to live out loud with purpose and meaning! Let’s build a community! Not just be a consumer.
And if you’ve been feeling this same pull—if you know you’re called to lead with this kind of mindset and heart posture—then my Called to Lead Course is for you.
This isn’t about chasing influence. It’s about chasing impact. It’s about stepping into the leader God has called you to be—with humility, purpose, and courage.
If that resonates with you, let’s build together.
