PURPOSE GOD’S WAY- How do you Pursue Purpose and Partner with God
Manage episode 378204333 series 3480421
What is your purpose in life? How do you find it? These are questions that many of us grapple with throughout our lives. In this podcast episode, we delve into the complex concept of purpose, exploring it through personal experiences, societal pressures, and biblical narratives.
We begin the conversation by reflecting on our own journeys of purpose discovery. My guest, Maggie, candidly shares how she felt lost for a while, not knowing how to pursue her purpose or even recognizing when a season in her life had changed. I share my experiences of being raised with intention, which gave me the ability to navigate life after school. We also discuss societal changes and the pressures that African parents often put on their children to pursue certain careers, which can deter them from their true path.
The conversation takes an interesting turn as we challenge the prevalent African belief that spirituality and professional life should remain separate entities. We explore the example of the biblical figure Daniel, who served God in his secular job. This concept of integrating spirituality within our work life challenges traditional views, but we believe that these roles can be a stepping stone towards fulfilling our purpose.
One of the highlights of this episode is our discussion about the influential role of parents in shaping their children's sense of purpose. We explore how parents can create an atmosphere of exploration, allowing their children to discover their abilities and gifts. This involves acknowledging unconventional careers, like photography or music, as legitimate paths to purpose.
Parents play a significant role in guiding their children towards their purpose. This is not just about supporting them in their interests but also partnering with God to reveal their unique gifts and calling. Through prayer and the wisdom of the Holy Spirit, parents can lead their children in the direction they should go.
