How do find purpose in my life? (Feat. Dustin Peterson) - EP 127
Description
On this episode of Walking with the Savior, host John interviews leadership trainer and career coach Dustin Peterson, author of Meant for More, about discovering a unique, God-given life purpose. Dustin shares his longtime struggle to find purpose, explains why he believes everyone has a specific purpose, and distinguishes purpose (outward-focused contribution) from goals (often self-focused and short-term), using examples and analogies.
They discuss the “purpose deficit,” how purpose fuels motivation, resilience, and wellbeing, and why retirement without purpose can feel empty. Dustin teaches how to craft a memorable purpose statement in 10 words or less and helps John refine his own. They also address helping teenagers find purpose through forward-looking questions and connect purpose to Jesus Christ’s teachings to love God and others.
Dustin Peterson's book is available now on Amazon.
