Purpose

Maybe you have been told that you’re one of the most dedicated players on the team. Or maybe that is what you want to be. When it comes to your dedication to God’s team—the one that matters most—what kind of player would Jesus say you are?

Just as an athlete is recruited to play a sport, Jesus recruits you to play in the spiritual game of life. Standards that make a good athlete include strength, confidence, and hard work. What about God’s standards? We can use God’s Word to evaluate the way we choose to live.

Every effective team works toward a common goal. The purpose of this Bible study and devotional is to help encourage, inspire, and build committed Christian athletes who desire to consistently follow Christ’s game plan.

No more “game-day-only” athletes. Playing on God’s team is about being an everyday follower of Jesus, on and off the field, in and out of season! 

Playing On God's Team

God’s original plan for man was to exhibit the likeness of Jesus. Genesis 1:28 says, “Be fruitful and multiply,” but this means more than bearing children; it’s layered within purpose too. We tend to fill our lives with family, culture, possessions, and jobs. The bigger plan of God is to replicate God’s spiritual fruit and live with purpose on purpose.

Living With Purpose on Purpose

You've made a decision to follow Jesus, now what?
This plan isn't a comprehensive list of everything that comes with that decision, but it will help you take your first steps.

Your First Steps

God is making all things new! Walk through vulnerable stories of struggles with identity and the beauty of redemption in this five day reading plan from the writers at Blessed is She, an online community for Catholic women.

5 Days to Being Made New

Did you know that your Primary Purpose in life is to know and be known by God? This Bible Plan is not a list of rules. It’s not telling you to do better. Rather, let’s take a look at a sustainable lifestyle that embraces the Way of Jesus. God wants to know and be known by you. 

Obedience: The Bridge to Intimacy

Chazown—a Hebrew word for vision, is what God has in mind for your life. Discovering your chazown starts with examining your core values, spiritual gifts, and past experiences. This plan will help you identify common themes, bring clarity to your unique passions, and lead you to the purpose God has just for you. Start planning your next steps toward pursuing God's vision—His chazown—for your life today!
