Holy Week Reflections: Thoughts on “The Purpose Driven Life”

Rick Warren summarized the guidelines on how to find your contribution in life in the mnemonic SHAPE, meaning:

1. Spiritual Gifts
2. Heart – Your passion, things you are passionate about
3. Abilities – Your natural abilities, what you are good at
4. Personality  – Whether you are outgoing or not, etc.
5. Experience – There are six kinds:
   1. Family experiences – What did you learn growing up in your family?
   2. Educational experiences – What were your favorite subjects in school?
   3. Vocational experiences – What jobs have you been most effective and enjoyed most?
   4. Spiritual experiences – What have been your most meaningful times with God?
   5. Ministry experiences – Have you served God in the past?
   6. Painful experiences – What problems, hurts, thorns, and trials have you learned from?
