LifePursuits: It’s important to realize that we connect with God in 5 ways. While everyone uses all 5 Pursuits to draw closer to God most discover they find Him through some pursuits more than others. Depending on where you are at in your walk, God may be calling you to increase focus on those pursuits that come most natural or to stretch yourself and discover God through a LifePursuit you might not normally engage in. Read through the below pursuits to discern which one(s) best describe how you normally connect with God, then prayerfully consider how God might be calling you to grow closer to Him.
The 5 LifePursuits are:
- Worship God with your entire life
- Connect with others in His church
- Grow in your love, knowledge and devotion to God
- Serve God by serving others
- Share the love and message of Jesus with others
LifeQuest uses these five areas of the Christian life to help each follower of Jesus capture a vision of what maturity in Christ looks like in their life. These five areas are not the goal, but the way to achieve the goals of spiritual maturity and intimacy with God.
