In this month's Note from Nolen, you'll hear from Nolen Rollins about giving your all for Jesus everyday.

" Will you give your all for Jesus today? Just over my right shoulder, you see a copy of a banner that UT football players slap over the doorway as they enter the field to play a football game. It says, "I will give my all for Tennessee today." I hope you will give your all today and every day for Jesus. God created you for a purpose, to serve Him, to bring Him glory here in this world. I hope you know God's purpose for your life and that you are actively engaged in fulfilling that purpose and giving your all for Jesus today."

The Gospel of Matthew 22:37 (NKJV) reminds us: "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind."

We will be back with a new schedule of events after the USA summer break. Keep checking the EVENTS page or send us a message via our CONTACT page to ask questions.

In this month's Note from Nolen, you'll hear from Nolen Rollins about "​Created by God: Discovering Your Unique Purpose."

" It's a beautiful morning here in the North Carolina mountains. I am here enjoying God's beautiful creation in a chalet on Fontana Lake. Actually, you are a part of God's beautiful creation too. God uniquely designed you with special gifts, personality, abilities, strengths, passions, values, and He wants to use your unique creation in serving Him in His kingdom to bring Him glory. I trust you are living out your creation, how God made you to serve Him, to fulfill your purpose, and bring Him great glory in life."

In this month's Note from Nolen, you'll discover why it's important to not get so busy doing life that you miss God's purpose for it!
​
" What could be more important than your knowing and doing God's purpose for the next stage of your life? I am amazed at the number of people who do not participate in a GPS Life Journey process class because they're too busy. They're too busy doing life.

If you're too busy doing stuff without knowing what is God's purpose for the next stage of your life, is that a wise move on your part? I want to encourage you, don't be so busy being caught up doing life that you miss God's purpose for the next stage of your life. The GPS Life Journey is designed to help you discover, develop a strategy for fulfilling God's purpose for the next stage of your life. Please consider being a part of an upcoming GPS Life Journey group."

Find out when the next GPS Life Journey process is happening online or in person by checking our EVENTS page.

​Leave a comment or use the Contact page to let us know if you can make it or if you have any questions.

In this month's Note from Nolen, you'll discover the 3 questions to ask yourself to check if you're growing spiritually.
​
"How are you doing on your spiritual journey as a part of the GPS Life Journey process? We encourage all participants in GPS to do some assessments. Probably twice a year would be good for these assessments.

One is time margin. How are you using your time? Are you a good steward of your time? The second is financial margin. Are you good steward of your financial resources? And the third is a spiritual capacity, spiritual growth assessment

On page 94 in the GPS Life Journey workbook. There's a list of spiritual disciplines. I would encourage you at least twice a year to look at that list. Evaluate yourself and make a plan for continuing spiritual growth.

You can only pour into others as you have capacity to pour out of your own spiritual life. Keep growing, keep pursuing your God-given mission and keep bringing glory to God."

In this month's Note from Nolen, he has a special prayer request February 2026.  Here is what he shared:
" Getting old is not for sissies. Special prayer request this month, Clarice, my spouse of almost 55 years, was having knee replacement surgery on Tuesday. I went to therapy on Wednesday and discovered her oxygen level was low. She had a blood clot that had gone to her lungs, went to the hospital, went into AFib.

So it's become a much more complicated process than we anticipated. She is home now after several days in the hospital, but covet your prayers for her speedy and full recovery so that we both can be busy doing what God created us to do, fulfilling his GPS life purpose for our lives. God bless you."

In this Note from Nolen we hear from Glen Schaffer as he shares why GPS Life Journey?
"Glenn Schaeffer here. I want to tell you why GPS Life Journey? It's a great ministry. Everyone needs to know what their God-given purpose in life is. We all have a purpose. Without purpose. We're just floating out in the ocean, being blown by every little thing that comes along. But God has a purpose for each and every one of us.

He made each and every one of us. Different with talents and gifts and passions. And when we align those with what God wants us to be doing, great things happen. We have a great friend of ours who has a passion for helping others find Jesus. Through that passion, she created a line of clothing and accessories that help lead people to Jesus with passion for our God-given purpose.

Action happens to glorify God. GPS Life Journey, it's for you."

In this month's Note from Nolen, you'll hear from Nolen Rollins on why you might want to consider taking GPS Life Journey again in 2026!
​
"Play it again, Sam in 2026. You've heard that old saying, when you want a song to be played again, you say, play it again, Sam. Well, in 2026, I want to encourage you to give serious consideration to going through the GPS Life Journey process once again. Over the 20 plus years of GP S's existence, about 10 to 15% of people repeat GPS and go through it a second time.

It will give you clarity. If for some reason you did not get engaged in your mission, it will help you redefine that and develop a strategy to get engaged. Consider going through GPS again in 2026. God bless you. I hope 2026 is your greatest year of serving God in His kingdom according to his purpose for your life."

Check out our EVENTS page to discover in person and online via Zoom opportunities to participate in taking GPS Life Journey in 2026.
