So today's episode is going to be a little different, one that so many Christian homemakers and stay-at-home moms have been asking for.   Over the summer, the Lord gave me clarity about where this podcast is headed. While we’ll always talk about homemaking and stewardship, many homemakers are also feeling a desire to step into purpose and calling, and even start a business from home.   That’s why I created the At-Home Business Blueprint, my private podcast for stay-at-home moms who want to build simple, God-led businesses.   Today, you’re getting a sneak peek inside the Clarify Your Calling episode to help you get clear on the calling that God has set for you in your life.    If this episode blesses you, don't forget to send this to a friend who totally needs to hear this!    God bless, Brianne   Listen to the At-Home Business Blueprint Private Podcast and learn how to create income from your God-given gifts.
