Purpose is SUCH a poppin’ topic in our culture – especially Christian culture. But I think a BIG MISCONCEPTION about purpose is that it’s about US and OUR LIVES. It involves us and God blesses us and He has good for us but .... mic drop!! Our purpose isn’t about us. Listen to exactly why I believe that's true, AND why it's actually better that way.
