I hosted a podcast called Health Matters, where I interviewed leading health experts.

Sabrina Memminger is the CEO and Founder of Mpact Life Enterprises, author of “Remembering Who You Are,” Amazon Bestselling co-author of “Rock Bottom is A Beautiful Place: Living Your Calling,” Transformational Speaker, Leadership Trainer, and Host of the Women of Mpact Podcast.

Would you share the 5 Keys to Mpact Life philosophy?

“The 5 keys for Mpact (M-P-A-C-T) starts with M for Move. In order to live your God-sized dream or to live in your passion and your purpose, you have to move from where you are to where God has called you. So the first key is moving.

“The second is Power. You have to be connected to The Power source and that is God. He is the author and the finisher of your faith. He’s also the One who’s put inside of you the seed of purpose and how to connect with that power continually and consistently in order to walk your God-sized dream.

“A is about Activating. God has placed in each of us gifts, talents, and resources that we may not be aware of, but God has called us to stir up the gift that is within us.

“C is about Creating. God created in the beginning, He spoke and then He saw. He also called us as the men and women of God to create with Him the life that He’s called us to live.

“And T is about Transformation. We cannot walk through the mission in our life, we cannot accomplish that mission, without committing ourselves to be transformed by the renewing of the Word of God. We have to commit ourselves to change because in our process, in our journey, we’re going from glory to glory and it requires that we become more and more like Him.

Those are “the five Keys to the Mpact Life philosophy. And when you put all five of those keys together, you have an impact life, the magnificent life that God created you to live.

What is one of your greatest life lessons and why?

“The greatest life lesson is there is a seed inside of you. It’s a dream seed that God’s put inside of you.

“And the lesson is that if He’s placed it there, He’s also given everything you need in order to carry it out into the world.

“You know, sometimes we think that the dreams that are deep down within our hearts are so big that we don’t want to even share them with our moms or our dads because they’re so great and they feel like they are so big for us. But that is what God has created you to do so that we can lean in on Him.

“And if He’s placed it there, placed that desire, that passion there in you, you have to be confident that He’s got it. So don’t be afraid to walk into the God-sized dream because you can step out in faith and believe. That’s the lesson that I learned.

How can pain propel you in your purpose?

“I believe that God uses every experience in our lives, every encounter in our lives, to build up our faith muscles but also to prepare us for the people that He has called us to minister to.

“Because I’ve encountered in childhood — going through childhood domestic violence — because of that I have compassion for women who are encountering the same or children who are encountering the same.

“Because I went through the health challenge I can have compassion for the person who has received a diagnosis. That is, I can speak to them and say no matter what the doctor says I know you can walk in healing because this is what I went through. All these experiences in my life have prepared me to minister to the people to who God has called me.

“Our pain points are our power points. So what are your pain points? If you put it in His hands, He will cause it to be power in your life. And not only in your life but in the life of those He’s called you to minister to. So you are the healing balm for the pain that you’ve encountered in your life.”

Since speaking with Sabrina, I’ve looked at my challenges and difficulties in a different light. I’ve tried to reframe them and grow from them in my faith.

Although the podcast is no longer available, if you’d like a copy of any of the full interview transcripts, please send me an email.

This has been an excerpt from the Health Matters Podcast, believing that prayer & Bible study are to the spirit what exercise and healthy eating are to the body.

Blessings on your journey to health.
