4 Elements to Leading and Living on Purpose

If I were to ask you, as a Christ-centered leader, “What’s your purpose?” how would you answer?

...Would you have an answer? 

Could you tell me the purpose, or mission, of your employer? 

How about the church where you worship? Do you know the purpose of your local church?

As people who follow Jesus, we need to keep Jesus at the foundation of everything we do  - our life, our work, our family, our friendships...EVERYTHING.

The problem is, if Jesus is at the center of everything, it can mean you Jesus is not at the heart of anything. Or worse, we make excuses that we don't have the time, money, or know how to follow Jesus every day.

In this episode, get ready to explore your life purpose and how it will help you navigate the key tasks and common threats, to a healthy, growing faith.

The four elements include:

1. A clear understanding of God’s larger mission
