Purposeful Journey

"Your decisions determine your outcome."

Presenters: Supervisor Trena Hopkins · Portland, OR  ·  Mother Wilma Taylor · Chicago, IL

Session Topics

Six conversations to shape your ministry journey.

01

Understanding Your Purpose

What is your driving force? What has God called you to do? True purpose begins with surrender — when you submit to God's will, your purpose will naturally unfold.

02

The Journey Matters

You must hear from people who are going there, not only those who have been there. Learn from those actively walking in purpose.

03

What Does Real Ministry Look Like?

Ministry is more than visibility — it is obedience, service, sacrifice, and impact. Not titles, but transformation.

04

Trusting God's Direction

God's direction is like a GPS. The route may change, but when the destination is programmed correctly, the path will lead you where you're supposed to be.

05

Preparation for Greater Ministry

Character before visibility. Faith before promotion. Discipline before influence. Your preparation season is positioning.

06

Benefits of Ministry

Spiritual growth, purpose, community, accountability, and greater intimacy with God. Follow the guidelines and He will sustain the journey.

Reflection & Response

Take a moment to answer. Download your responses when you're done.

Focus: Responder vs. Reactor

Growth in ministry often begins with learning how to respond in faith instead of reacting in emotion.
