Live the Life You Were Made For

A course of study in partnership with Fuller Theological Seminary

The commission by Jesus to “go and make disciples” is well known by Christians, yet far too many do not pursue this task in their lives. Some think it doesn’t apply to them. Others think it is just for special ministers. Some might be interested but don’t know what to do or are afraid to do it.

Live the Life You Were Made For is intended to lead participants down a path from knowing to doing, to understanding this commission better, to enacting it in the way the Holy Spirit leads.

First, we will explore how this assignment takes shape in light of God’s work. Second, we will construct a way of seeing the need to share God’s love in each learner’s life by connecting their gifting with the work of the Holy Spirit in their context. This process involves learning, reflecting, and enacting from a posture of love and hope in God’s calling.

Course Fee: $30 (USD)
