    In nearly every area of life, we perform better when we know our purpose. God wants you to know your purpose in life as a believer in Christ. God Almighty wants you to know your “why.”

Studies show knowing one’s purpose is a powerful source of motivation in life. Get this: researchers have shown that when you stress “why we are doing this” to people, ...read more
