MODULE 1: GOD’S PURPOSE —THE STORY THAT SHAPES OURS Copy

1.3 Why Purpose Copy

TWO WAYS OF FINDING PURPOSE:
Many people think that purpose is about self-determination and their pursuit of purpose seeks to put everything (including God) into their story.

We find our purpose by first examining the purpose for which we were created. God’s purpose is the central foundation for finding our purpose and place in the world. In Genesis 1, we see the simple but profound reality that God is creator and when God creates, He does so in accordance with His purposes, including when He made us. Finding your purpose is not a process of self-determination; it is about discovering who God made you to be through a process of discernment and faithfulness. It is a process of seeking to align yourself and what you do in the world with God’s purposes. And that is the Purpose Discovery journey this course will take you on.
