Key Points Discussed:

What is Kingdom Purpose?

•  Your Kingdom Purpose is the unique way God has designed you to glorify Him and advance His kingdom.
• It’s not about perfection or selling faith-based products—it’s about aligning your gifts and work with eternal impact.
• Key Scripture: Jeremiah 29:11—"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord."

Barriers to Discovering Your Purpose

•  Overcoming comparison: God created you to be uniquely you (Psalm 139:14).
• Breaking through fears of inadequacy: God equips those He calls.
• Understanding that purpose unfolds step by step—it's not an overnight revelation.

Practical Steps to Discover Your Kingdom Purpose:

                  Seek God through Prayer and Scripture 

• Spend intentional time in prayer, asking God to reveal His plans for you.
• Dive into verses about purpose, like Ephesians 2:10—"We are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works."

                  Identify Your Gifts and Passions 

• Reflect on what brings you joy, what you’re naturally good at, and what others often compliment you on.
• Recognize these as clues to your purpose.

                  Reflect on Life Experiences 

• God uses your past challenges and victories to prepare you for your calling (Romans 8:28).
• Your unique story can be a tool to bless others and glorify God.

                 Take Action in Faith 

• Begin where you are with what you have. Trust God to guide your steps (James 2:26).

Signs You’re Living in Your Kingdom Purpose:

•  A deep sense of joy and peace, even during challenges.
• Witnessing God’s hand in your work as doors open and resources align.
• Seeing your work bless others and create a Kingdom impact.
• Trusting God’s timing and promises instead of striving and chasing.

The Transformation of Heart and Business

•  Aligning your business with God’s purpose transforms both your work and your heart.
• Embracing your Kingdom Purpose is about surrender and trust, not perfection.
• Key Scripture: Ephesians 4:1—"Live a life worthy of the calling you have received."

Memorable Quotes:
