This week on the Embracing Abundant Life podcast, we are talking about "Growing in Purpose" with Guest Taurus Smith.

Does your purpose require growth? Yes, we are living beings, and God created us to go from glory to glory. That transition calls for development, transformation, growth. Don't let the questions about your season, reason, or purpose stop you from flowering. Instead, look to God for direction and means for growth.

Ephesian 2:10 "For we are His workmanship [His own master work, a work of art], created in Christ Jesus [reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, ready to be used] for good works, which God prepared [for us] beforehand [taking paths which He set] so that we would walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us]."

Taurus Smith is a native of Illinois and now resides in the Naperville area. He is an audio engineer and owns Christian Cut Records. He is also an evangelist and computer instructor.

Most of us have want to be well and healthy mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically. Still, we can feel as if we lack the ability, confidence, or even desire to continue on the journey. In those moments, we have to be reminded that God cares about our desires and wants to help and empower us (Psalm 37:4, Philippians 4:13). God also let us know when He begins a good work in us, He will bring it to completion (Philippians 1:6).

Leadership is not a title but the ability to influence those around us. Character and growth are  crucial in the mission, and in those that follow, but it is also paramount in those who lead. Jesus showed us that a leadership position is more than accomplishing an agenda but serving and uplifting those around.
