Are You Part of a Church or Spiritual Center with a Large Vision but Too Little Manpower for Its Fulfillment?

By most estimates we’ve now exceeded 7 billion people living on planet Earth. Let me ask you, what percentage of those 7 billion would you say know their life purpose with real clarity and are living true to it?

Of course, we have no hard data on this question, but when asked most people’s replies are quite low — 1/2 percent, 2 percent, 3 percent.  Recently when I asked a group the question, when one person answered 10 percent he was almost laughed out of the room.  In other words, most people agree that the percentage of people who really know their life purpose and are living it is abysmally small.

But does it need to stay that way?  We at Life On Purpose Institute don’t believe so, and we believe that with the help of the churches and spiritual centers around the world we can be a catalyst for creating a world on purpose.

Thinking Globally while Acting Locally

Yes, we’re thinking globally about creating a world on purpose and at the same time we know we need to act locally. We’ve chosen to creatively collaborate with churches and other spiritual centers to help them fulfill on their visions for their local communities.

What we’ve found are many progressive, forward thinking spiritual centers have beautiful visions for the difference they want to make in their community…and too little manpower to really fulfill on them.

A Success Story

Rev. Catherine

We’re having much success with changing lives and transforming congregations from the On Purpose Program. One example is what’s taking place in Greensboro. Listen in on this interview with Rev. Catherine Klein:



If you’re a part of such a spiritual center, we want to help to fire up your members to fulfill on that vision by helping them to become crystal clear about their true, Divinely Inspired Life Purpose.

Two Simple Steps to Start Igniting the Fire

1. The first step is to help you get to know us better while also giving us the opportunity to help you bring a deeper sense of purpose, passion and play to your life and your community. Since the Life On Purpose Process and Perspective are at the heart of our work, we’d like to share an excerpt from, Life On Purpose: Six Passages to an Inspired Life, an award winning finalist in the Self-Help: Motivational division of the Best Books 2007 Awards sponsored by USA News. You’ll also receive a free subscription to Purposeful Pondering Ezine when you enter your name and email address at the top left of this page.

2. Are we a good fit for each other?  Would our purposeful work be well received by your congregation and community?  Let’s find out.  Learn more about the On Purpose Program here.

Become a Citizen of Who-ville

Written on May 4, 2012 by in Purposeful Ponderings

This past March 2nd was Dr. Seuss’s birthday. He would have been 108 years old this year.  So, I thought it appropriate to spend a little time reading one of my favorite Dr. Seuss’s books — Horton Hears a Who.  After all, I’ve been feeling a little like a citizen from Who-ville lately, so I…

Being coached by Brad  through the Life on Purpose process has truly been life-changing. Not only did he help me to gain crystal clarity about my life purpose, he helped me to uncover what had been holding me back for much of my life. Through the coaching, I became clear about what was the next step that I wanted to take in my life.

My life has gotten better in many ways as a result of the coaching: the major anxiety that I experienced around my work is a thing of the past – I learned why I was experiencing this anxiety, and then how to overcome it and I can’t believe how effective it was.

I have been able to establish a habit of taking daily time for myself to reconnect with what’s truly important – this is something that I had tried and failed to do for 10 years beforehand, so I am so happy to have been able to achieve this.

I have been experiencing so many more feelings of joy, happiness and abundance since the programme, and life is just so much better. From Jonathan Dudley — a 30 year old IT Professional (turning Life Coach).

“I had always felt like I was not living up to my potential and that there was something more to life- something more I “should be doing”. What I discovered was that what I thought my life purpose was actually my parents/culture’s idea of what I should be- not mine! This was transformational and allowed me to finally decide for myself, based on my own passions, my true purpose. My Divine Purpose is now conscious and drives all decisions and choices I make in my everyday life.” Julie Chapman after clarifying her life purpose through the On Purpose Program at her spiritual center.

“I am just so delighted with everything you, this course, and the Life on Purpose Institute has given/provided to me.  Thank you, SO very, very much.

“I have finished working through your book. It has been a very enjoyable and revealing process. My life on purpose is a life of freedom rooted in wholeness, beauty, truth, order and love. A life of worship, inspired action and full self-expression.

I was especially excited when you spoke about the Purposeful Project.  Wow, what a great idea!  How to get people out in the world being their true, serviceful selves.  I say serviceful because I have an inkling that even if someone doesn’t consider their life purpose to be one of service, or see that as a value of theirs, I don’t see how anyone couldn’t be of service to the world if they are living their purpose out loud.” Peggy Vervalin who clarified her life purpose in Living the Fulfilled Life teleclass.

Immediately I got my final wording sorted it ‘clicked’ it fits like a glove. I have such clarity, it has been great for examining my behaviors and how I relate to others, and for helping me to make quality decisions. I had so many synchronicities in the following days after clarifying my life purpose and continue to do so. A sure sign that I am on my path and that is very fulfilling, even without taking into account my planned purpose projects.

My self-esteem has received a huge boost. I am delighted that I committed and persevered. And one of the lessons God has been bringing to my attention is that ‘commitment and perseverance bring their own reward, a reward that can come no other way’. Which will stand me in good stead as I live out this purpose.

I look at my life purpose and it is truly the essence of me, and the essence of the possibilities I see for others and the world we live in.” Jayne from the United Kingdom

I’m Jude Eastman in Virginia.  I’m a reading specialist and teacher.  I’m also a life and soul coachJudeeastman.

My original Life on Purpose work in 2006-2007 helped me figure out who I was and wanted to BE after losing my parents and my marriage.  I am happy to say that I realized I am  the only one who has the power to decide my place in the world or my worth and I’m pretty dog gone priceless!  After that I soared -completing a master degree, taking a new job position in my teaching career, and completing coach training.

Recently I was ready to push forward in my second profession as a coach.  The Staying on Purpose group helped me accomplish what I’ve been talking about for three years!  I now have my first coaching workshop on the books, conducted a conference call, picked up some new technology skills.  I found out that doing new things doesn’t have to be stressful, but can be fun and I’m in control of that!

Thanks Brad for keeping me motivated and accountable  in such a heart felt way that was both challenging and safe at the same time!
