DR. ANITA PHILLIPS, trauma therapist and host of In the Light podcast

It has often been said that God doesnt make mistakes, but did you know that God also doesnt make extras? God didnt make an extra you or an extra me, because when he decided we were necessary for creation, he endowed us with a unique purpose that only our unique fingerprints can unlock. Your Purpose Is Calling is the wake-up call everyone who feels like an extra needs because it reminds all of us that the things that make us different were designed by God to make us impactful.

NONA JONES, business executive and author of Killing Comparison and Success from the Inside Out

Dharius Daniels is not only one of the most influential leaders in our nation, but hes also a friend. Weve traveled the country together, and one of my greatest privileges is introducing him to our audiences. His credentials speak for themselves, but the words he writes speak even more loudly both on the page and on the stage. As he brings a new level of innovation in faith, he challenges each of us to live fully in ways that will make a difference for everyone.
