The Re-Purposed Driven Life
July 30, 2025
Summary
In this life, we’re offered all kinds of reasons and purposes to live. But when you try them, you often realize that, in the end, you’re still weak, still unsatisfied, and still not measuring up. Then comes the question: “What is the purpose of my life? Why am I even here?” That’s a really tough place to be. This episode connects closely to last week’s: “Jesus Knows You’re Tired.” So what now? Do we just give up? Is that the message of Christ? No. He gives us new hope, a new identity, and a new purpose. And it’s in our weakness that we find our greatest significance. That’s what today’s episode is all about. We hope it encourages you.

And then comes the what is the purpose of my life?
Why am I even here?
That is a really tough place to be.
And this podcast is really connected to last week where Jesus knows you're tired.
So do we just now give up?
Is that what the message of Christ is?
No.

And it is in our weakness.
We find our greatest significance of life in our weakness.
That's what today's episode is about.
We really hope this encourages you, and we look forward to seeing you on the other side of the intro.

Hey, guys, this is Justin.
Maybe you know that you are forgiven because of Jesus Christ, but you're wondering, what does Jesus have to do with my Christian life?
How is he involved in my sanctification, even?
Or is he concerned at all with the ways that I struggle and the way that my life goes up and down?
Is there any comfort for me in Jesus when it comes to all of that?
