Adding Nations to Your Purpose

Why Purpose? \u2013 It doesn\u2019t matter if I\u2019m a millennial living paycheck to paycheck or a retiree traveling the world, life without a purpose beyond \u201cself\u201d is empty. For believers, the irony of life in the Kingdom is that when we seek \u201cthings\u201d they (and our purpose) drift away from us. But, when we put His Kingdom \u201cpurpose\u201d first, everything else gets added. Each of us has a purpose or book (Ps 139:16) in two dimensions: the first is our individual purpose that God has written in our hearts and the second is the Kingdom purpose of our nation. Knowing both is a lot of fun\u2026 it puts our life\u2019s direction on steroids.

My purpose \u2013 Releasing Kings is all about connecting people with the Kingdom purpose God wrote on our hearts. The transition from servant to friend and King (Jn 15:15-17) happens when I give myself permission to pursue the desire or purpose in my heart. I become who God designed me to be. More here and here. Jesus delights to share the Father\u2019s heart with us, so that we know \u201cHis business.\u201d

I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master\u2019s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. John 15:15-16

My life starts to make sense when my family, vocation, ministry and heart start to align around a common theme. My history (good and bad) is a tapestry that weaves the past, present and future into a Kingdom purpose. It\u2019s a joy to make that connection. My life\u2019s greatest thrill is to connect with my Father\u2019s heart and co-labor with Him and see the results. That\u2019s the message of Releasing Kings. We help people make those connections with their heart, history, vocation, ministry, mountain and calling.
