Summary
Have you ever wondered, “What am I really here for?” I used to think purpose and significance were reserved for pastors, leaders, or people who seemed “closer to God.” But Genesis 1:26-28 completely changed the way I see myself and you.
In this episode of The Disciples Journal, I’m breaking down how God made every single person in His image and called us all to represent Him in our everyday lives. I share what it truly means to walk in authority, exercise dominion, and live out your purpose—no matter who you are, where you’re from, or what your past looks like.
If you’ve ever felt unseen, insignificant, or unsure about your calling, this episode will help you see what God says about your value, your role, and your purpose in the world.
I promise—this isn’t about titles, positions, or status. It’s about stepping into the life God made you for.

| 0:28.3 | the question of who am I becoming? Because we can somehow get so caught up with what we're |
| 0:35.0 | creating with our hands that we ignore the condition of our hearts. |
| 0:39.2 | And this has been the story of my 20s so far. |
| 0:42.3 | I've been chasing this ever-moving goalpost of success. |
| 0:46.5 | And that idea of success that I've been believed in was surround around the what. |

| 1:08.1 | in recognition from the world that I was the best. |
| 1:11.7 | And when I dropped out of college at 18, that's exactly what I was aiming for and actually got. |
