Kingdom Purpose
Discovering the God-ordained Kingdom purpose you were made for.
Kingdom Purpose is a 13-session, self-paced course built around a single conviction: God made you for something specific, and He hasn’t hidden it from you. Working from the NET Bible, the course walks you through twenty-one Discovery Steps in three layers — your Design, what God built into your hands; your Affinity, what He set in your heart; and your Shaping, what He’s been doing through every season of your life — until the three converge in a mission statement of fifty words or less.
Every session pairs explanation with experience: a full teaching built on Scripture, word studies in the original Greek or Hebrew where the argument turns on a specific word, and an honest “What About …” section that takes the hardest objection head-on. Then, instead of a reading plan, each session ends in Discovery Steps — things you actually do: take an assessment, list the ministries you’ve served in, draw your life’s timeline, write a statement and test it with someone who knows you. Each step tells you exactly what to produce, shows a surface answer beside a deep one, and gives you a checklist so you know when you’re done. Give every step at least a day. With a group, most people finish in three to five weeks; working alone, plan on six to ten. The pace is yours.
Who Kingdom Purpose is for
Anyone who has finished Kingdom Essentials and reached Session 8’s open question — what is God’s specific purpose for me? — without a specific answer yet. It’s equally suited to someone years into their faith who has never sat down and done this work deliberately, to someone in a season of transition, and to the retiree who suspects the best chapter isn’t over. You can take it alone, with one trusted friend as your witness, or with a small group.
The five movements
Orientation (Sessions 1–2) explains the process before you begin it: why purpose is found where your design, your heart and your story meet, why it’s revealed dot by dot rather than downloaded in a moment, and how to listen for the Holy Spirit through every step — including why you’re the least reliable witness to yourself.
Design (Sessions 3–4) asks what God built into your hands: your spiritual gifts, your natural strengths, your personality, the talent you walk past because it comes so easily, and the values you won’t trade. It ends with your Design statement.
Affinity (Sessions 5–7) asks what God set in your heart: what breaks it, what fills it back up, where you’ve served, which sphere of society you’re drawn into, and the God-sized vision you’d attempt if you knew He was in it. It ends with your Affinity statement.
Shaping (Sessions 8–11) looks back at the life you’ve already lived: the milestones that turned you, the people who shaped you, the field where you carry authority, your victories and your failures, the promises God has spoken over you, and the name He calls you. It ends with your Shaping statement.
Purpose (Sessions 12–13) brings the three statements together into one mission statement, then asks the question that comes after it: how do you live it, consecrate it and finish well?
