Overview
Find Your Place helps readers learn more about themselves and how they can utilize their gifts, passions, and stories to have a fulfilling career. Wegner and Phipps, using the analogy of a GPS, show readers how to identify any “jammers” that can keep individuals from using their God-given gifts. Wegner and Phipps also go into greater detail with chapters on gifts, passions, and story with the culminating chapter on the impact of combining one’s gifts, passions, and story into a fulfilling career.
The authors give an example of Shawn who originally separated his heating and cooling technician job from his volunteer prayer ministry at church. Later, though, Shawn combined his technician skills with his passion for prayer and it fulfilled him. Along with examples like Shawn, the free accompanying assessment aids readers in learning how to use their gifts, passions, and stories.
