Welcome back to Purpose Pivots Podcast! Today, I share the story of Maya Moore, who is considered by many as the greatest female basketball player of all time. She left basketball at the peak of her career to help a wrongly convicted man named Jonathan Irons in seeking justice. What Maya went through was an “ultimate purpose pivot” and an epitome of God directing us to the places where we should be, no matter how many pivots and detours it takes.

Tune in now and learn from this Purpose Pivot moment!
