How do find purpose in my life? (Feat. Dustin Peterson) - EP 127

Send us Fan MailOn this episode of Walking with the Savior, host John interviews leadership trainer and career coach Dustin Peterson, author of Meant for More, about discovering a unique, God-given life purpose. Dustin shares his longtime struggle to find purpose, explains why he believes everyone has a specific purpose, and distinguishes purpose (outward-focused contribution) from goals (often self-focused and short-term), using examples and analogies. They discuss the “purpose deficit,” how purpose fuels motivation, resilience, and wellbeing, and why retirement without purpose can feel empty. Dustin teaches how to craft a memorable purpose statement in 10 words or less and helps John refine his own. They also address helping teenagers find purpose through forward-looking questions and connect purpose to Jesus Christ’s teachings to love God and others.Dustin Peterson's book is available now on Amazon.https://www.amazon.com/Meant-More-Waking-Life-Were/dp/1462150438Learn more about Dustin at:https://dustinpeterson.org/Learn more about Cedar Fort Publishing:https://www.cedarfort.com/Visit Our Website: https://walkingwiththesavior.com/episodes/Listen to us on your favorite platform:https://www.buzzsprout.com/2414656Donations gladly accepted:https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/WalkingwiththeSavior?country.x=US&locale.x=en_USEmail John: [email protected]:00 Welcome and Tacos01:56 Meet Dustin and His Book04:58 Why Purpose Matters06:56 Extrinsic vs Intrinsic Drive09:40 Do You Have a Unique Purpose11:45 The Purpose Deficit13:26 Purpose vs Goals Explained20:29 Purpose Outcomes and Power23:28 Purpose Statement in 3 Words25:49 10 Words or Less Rule28:20 Crafting John's Purpose Live30:22 Ten Word Purpose32:48 Book Title Teaser33:56 Journey Map Exercise35:40 Purpose Questions Youth38:14 Eulogy Vision Resilience42:33 Purpose And Risk Choices43:51 Turning To Jesus48:28 Scripture Study Listening50:09 Jonah Fear And Action56:11 Purpose Statements Examples58:04 Rapid Fire Wrap Up01:01:33 Final Blessing Outro#Purpose #LifePurpose #FindingPurpose #GodsPurpose #JesusChrist #Faith #Christianity #WalkingWithTheSavior #PersonalGrowth #Leadership #LeadershipDevelopment #CareerCoaching #PurposeDrivenLife #Motivation #Resilience #PersonalDevelopment #MeaningfulLife #GoalSetting #TeenDevelopment #SpiritualGrowthSupport the show
