Listen "Purpose is a Person: You"
Episode Synopsis
Are you tired of trying to “find your purpose” like it’s some kind of spiritual scavenger hunt? In this powerful and eye-opening episode of Quest for Success, Dr. Jerry Cunningham helps you rethink everything you’ve been told about calling, purpose, and identity. Let’s be real: Most people have been taught that purpose is a job, a role, or a title. But what if that’s not what the Bible teaches at all? What if your calling wasn’t something to be chased—but someone you’re becoming? In “Purpose is a Person: What the Bible Really Says About Your Calling,” Dr. Cunningham explores how your identity and mission are not rooted in career paths or religious roles, but in a relationship with Jesus. With a powerful blend of biblical truth, modern psychology, and pop culture wisdom (yes, we’re talking about Legally Blonde and Friday Night Lights), this episode brings deep truth to life in a relatable, motivating, and practical way. You’ll also hear: Why purpose is less about doing and more about becoming How emotional memory affects the way you approach your calling Why you don’t need a platform to lead—you just need presence What neuroscience and Scripture both say about identity formation How to use your purpose in everyday situations—at work, at home, and in your relationships And why the small moments of your life might be the most impactful of all Whether you’re in leadership, raising a family, starting a business, or just trying to figure out your next move—this episode is for you.
