Episode 7 takeaways: 

  • “The best way to find your purpose is in the service of others”

  • JOY: Jesus, Others, Yourself

  • True joy comes from going out & giving - “the joy exchange”

  • Encouragement for finding yourself:

  • Serve those around you

  • Ask people around you

  • Personality tests!

  • Ask yourself  “What do people thank you for?”

  • Anything worth doing is hard → “no grit, no pearl”

  • Lean into the awkward - connect with people that are different

  • Awkward is the first step to “aha”

 

Romans 12:12:

“Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.”

 

2 Corinthians 12:9: 

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.”
