1 Listener
When we take the time to reflect on the past season, we will often identify patterns of behavior we have or have picked up along the way. These patterns can be helpful or harmful depending on where they came from and how they are impacting our lives. As this year is coming to a close, it's time to look back at all the achievements, hurdles, and lessons learned in our personal, business, and spiritual lives and see how we can grow and learn from them.
In this episode, your host, Rachel, celebrates a full year of spreading the love of Christ through Taking the Leap Podcast. It has not been a walk in the park, but by the grace of God, she has made it through. Over the last year, Rachel has climbed mountains, walked in valleys, and experienced some refining moments that taught her valuable life lessons, which she shares with us. Listen to the ten leaping lessons she learned, and be inspired to take your leap. She also reveals plans for next year and how you can be part of the success in spreading the gospel of Christ.
If you have truly enjoyed Rachel and the Taking the Leap podcast episodes, and would love to encourage others to take a leap while spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ then this episode is for you.

1 RecommendationsNavigating Unwanted Pivots in Necessary Seasons
Pivots are moments in your life that are significant, challenging, or disruptive. You may have had a moment where you woke up one day and realized the past few years of your life hadn't been the best, and now you're ready to start doing things differently. There are other times when you feel things are going well and according to plan. And then suddenly, another season comes, with a different type of change, at a time you least expect. You may find yourself struggling because of this unwanted pivot or season, but how do you decide whether the path is God’s will? Join the conversation with Monet Carpenter as she shares with us about navigating unwanted pivots and necessary seasons in life, experiencing growth outside of the church community, and how to respond to God’s ideas that feel outside of our wheelhouse.
Monet lives in Alabama with her best friend and husband, Josh. Together they’re raising two kiddos in a house full of lots of noise, crumbs, and many baskets of clean but unfolded laundry. Monet lives the messy, unspoken parts of life openly to encourage other women that they, too, can embrace wholeness despite their brokenness. In 2021, Monet launched Purposed Box, a monthly subscription box business inspiring women to live “purposed” lives right where they are. Each month, she provides experiential and practical gifts that help the “everyday” women encounter Jesus daily. If you feel like God is calling you to take a leap or find yourself currently in the in-between season, then this episode is for you!

James Rosseau
Beyond the Comfort of Your Corporate Position into your Life’s Purpose
When God gives you a vision, He doesn’t give it to a committee, he gives it to a single individual. However, fear of what others may think will often hinder us from making certain decisions, such as leaving a profitable high ranking job for a more community focused mission, moving to a new state, or taking care of a loved one. Join this conversation with James Rosseau as we discuss how and when to roll up your sleeves, go beyond your current position, and serve your purpose to the world.
James Rosseau is the Founder and CEO of The Corelink Solution, a non-profit that’s committed to empowering people to reach their potential. The organization delivers learning programs through the brand and faith-based media platform Holy Culture. His passion is to empower youth to understand, release, and maximize their potential.
James talks about how he chose not to be caught up in the demands of a corporate position to the detriment of his purpose. He explains that roles and positions are seasonal and the importance of not letting job titles or positions, which are temporary, stop us from serving our purpose, which is eternal. If you feel that God is calling you to do something courageous, this episode is for you.
