Special Feature: What's My Purpose? - Courageous Conversations 2024

In this 2024 Courageous Conversations panel moderated by Jonathan Banks, a powerhouse group of leaders including Dr. Jessica Brown, Dr. Sarita Lyons, Bishop Walter Scott Thomas Sr, and Dr. John C. Foster, unpack purpose beyond platforms, titles, and paychecks. From being created in God’s image to discerning calling, gifts, pain, and obedience, this panel challenges Western ideas of success and re-centers purpose on God’s glory.  They examine: Purpose vs. Assignment: Why being a pastor or professional is your assignment, but not necessarily your purpose. The "Why" Question: Moving from the what of doing to the why of being. The Myth of Individualism: How Western Christianity has sometimes distorted purpose into a pursuit of platform, power, and prestige. Image Bearing: Understanding our foundational purpose as "image bearers" of God in the earth. Navigating Detours: How God handles our "wrong turns" and hits a moving target. The "Vanilla Extract" of Life: Why God doesn't waste your pain or past trauma when building your future. Subscribe for more conversations that help you know what you believe and why you believe it.
