How To Step Into The Assignment God Has For Your Life | Chantell Cooley

Chantell Cooley went from food stamps and a family on the edge to co-founding one of America's largest online universities with more than 100,000 graduates, and she says the turning point was one word in a single verse. On this episode of Directed Life, she unpacks how to discover the mantle God has placed on your life, how to live as an undercover agent for God in a secular marketplace, and why so many believers are living out a script that was never theirs to begin with. If you have ever wondered whether your work and your faith are meant to be separate, this conversation will completely reframe how you see your calling. Subscribe to Directed Life for more powerful conversations on faith, identity, and leadership that equip you to step fully into who God made you to be.
