Reshape how you think about power and purpose with Bronwyn O'Brien

In this episode of *Gifts from the Edge*, host Andrew Lord converses with Bronwin O'Brien, author of *The Seven Mountains of Influence*, to explore the concepts of personal purpose, mindset, and finding fulfillment beyond traditional boundaries.

Key highlights from the episode include:

📍 **Defining Purpose Beyond Church Walls:** Bronwin shares her personal journey from seeking fulfillment in church activities to discovering her calling in the business world.

🏛️ **Kingdom vs. Church Culture:** The conversation touches on the distinction between building the church and bringing kingdom principles into local communities and workplaces. Bronwin illustrates this with a personal testimony of buying and transforming a property in a high-crime neighborhood to change its spiritual and social atmosphere.

💪 **Overcoming Adversity:** Bronwin recounts contracting polio at age seven, which left her paralyzed for a year. She reflects on how recovering from intense physical challenges shaped her resilience, gave her a willingness to "have a go," and developed her empathy for others.

📚 **Practical Steps to Discover Purpose:** For listeners struggling to identify their path, Bronwin offers practical advice—such as identifying which library sections naturally draw your attention, observing innate talents in daily life, and evaluating what roles energize you.

🧘 **Daily Mindset & Meditation:** The episode wraps up with tips on self-governance, journaling, and the importance of daily stillness to quiet the mind, listen inwardly, and align with one's core calling.
