In this month's Note from Nolen - find out how God has shaped you?! Read on to discover how GPS Life Journey helps you in more ways than you might ever expected.
"Who are you? How did God uniquely design and shape you? I know I sound a little hoarse. I'm recovering from a chest cold. It sounds much worse than it really is. God uniquely designed and shaped you. There is a misconception that the GPS Life Journey study is primarily about your spiritual gifts. Not true. Spiritual gifts is only one of seven assessments that you will participate in to discover how did God uniquely design and shape you for service in his kingdom. He has a purpose for you. We will look at your personality, your passions, your abilities, your life experiences, yes, your spiritual gifts, your strengths, your core values, and seven total different assessments to help you have a very clear understanding. This is who I am, and God made me this way. For a purpose in his kingdom. I hope you have a clear understanding of who you are, how God has shaped you to serve him and bring him glory."

In this month's Note from Nolen, you'll learn about what Nolen Rollins is thankful for this year.
"Can you believe it is almost Thanksgiving and coming close to the end of another year? Well, I am especially thankful this November As we enter the Thanksgiving season for what God is doing through the GPS Life Journey ministry, almost 300 individuals just here in the home office of GPS have gone through the GPS Life Journey in the past couple of years since relocating to Tennessee. If you're one of those individuals who has participated in the GPS Life Journey, I hope you will take time to thank God for having a specific purpose for the next stage of your life and giving you the privilege of being engaged in fulfilling his purpose for your life and making a difference in the lives of others. I am especially grateful that God is continuing to use me here at my old age to help other people discover God's purpose for their life and really leave a legacy. Of helping others and serving God in his kingdom and bringing great glory to him. I trust you will have a great Thanksgiving season and that you will not forget to be thankful to God for how he has blessed your life." As we sit down with our loved ones this Thanksgiving, let's take a moment to reflect on the blessings we've received and the purposes we've discovered. The GPS Life Journey ministry is just one of the many avenues through which we can uncover our unique calling and become agents of change in the world. Consider the story of Cheryl, a woman who had heard great things about GPS Life Journey and wanted her two teenage step daughters to experience it with her. They joined the GPS Life Journey program via Zoom, seeking clarity and direction. Through the process, they discovered their passions for helping others experience the love of God. Today, each of them are using opportunities God has placed in their path to lead as examples of their faith in Jesus. She found her purpose, and in doing so, transformed not only her life but the lives of those around her. Cheryl's story is a powerful reminder that God has a plan for each of us, and that it's never too late to make a difference. No matter our age or stage in life, we all have the potential to leave a lasting legacy by serving others and drawing attention to the glory of God. There's a Chinese proverb that goes, "The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second-best time is now." This sentiment holds true for our life's purpose. If you feel unsure of your path or yearn for a more profound sense of fulfillment, consider embarking on the GPS Life Journey yourself. We still have opportunities to participate in the GPS Life Journey process online via Zoom. You can also contact us to find out when events are being planned to start again in person from January 2025! As we express gratitude for our blessings this Thanksgiving, let's also remember that we are called to use our gifts and talents to uplift others. By actively seeking and embracing God's purpose for our lives, we can create ripples of change that will impact future generations. This Thanksgiving, let's be thankful for the opportunity to serve and transform the lives of those around us. In doing so, we not only honor the Lord but also leave a legacy that will last for generations to come. In this month's Note from Nolen, we are sharing about our new classes starting soon! Visit our EVENTS page for more details.
"Who do you know that you can recommend to participate in the GPS Life Journey process? This fall, we begin a new series of live classes, and of course, GPS Life Journey is always available by Zoom format to anyone, anywhere in the world. Participating in this process will help an individual better understand how God uniquely created and shaped them for service in His kingdom and to discover the truth. His special purpose for the next stage of their lives and develop a strategy for fulfilling that purpose. Why don't you think about who you might recommend participate in one of the upcoming GPS courses or to participate in the online GPS format. By doing so, you will help them discover God's purpose and help them make a difference in the kingdom of God and bring him glory in doing so. Contact us and we'll tell you when the new classes are coming up or where you can participate. We hope that you'll recommend someone to be a part of the GPS Life Journey process." In this Note from Nolen, you will hear how there are 3 reasons to pursue your God given purpose!
"If you have been through GPS Life Journey, you should know what God's specific purpose is for the next stage of your life. The question is, why do you pursue fulfilling that God given purpose? Reason #1 to Pursue Your God Given Purpose Now, it may be obvious to think, well, it's because "That's what God created me for, and it brings me a sense of significance, a sense of, I'm making a difference in the world, at least that part of the world where God has placed me." Reason #2 to Pursue Your God Given Purpose Well, that's a good reason. Another good reason is we really do make a difference in the world. It's amazing what God is doing all around the world through GPS Life Journey graduates and spreading the gospel and meeting the needs of humankind. Reason #3 to Pursue Your God Given Purpose But really, that's not the primary reason why you should be engaged in fulfilling your God given purpose in life. Jesus said, in John 17:4, "Father, I glorified you here on earth by completing the work you sent me here to do". Does it not make sense that you will bring great glory to God if you complete the work that God gives you for each stage of your life? Know God's purpose for the next stage of your life. Be faithful in fulfilling that purpose, and by doing so, you will bring great glory to God. That's what it's all about." If you have not yet discovered your God given purpose then we invite you to participate in the GPS Life Journey process. We have facilitators around the world who can help you either in person or online via Zoom. Check the events page or contact us for more details. We look forward to helping you bring great glory to God. In this brief, Note from Nolen, we have an important Easter message.
"Without a doubt, one of the most important, if not the most important week of the year is Holy Week for followers of Jesus Christ. I want to wish you a happy Easter and I wish you a great year this year. As you follow the risen Christ in fulfilling his specific purpose for your life. God bless you." If you don't know what God's specific purpose is for your life then please consider participating in the GPS Life Journey process. We offer in person and online events throughout the year, check out what's happening here. You can also contact us to find out more information. This month's video blog is asking the question, are you a faithful steward of your God given purpose? Below is the transcript in case you prefer to read what is said.
"Nolen Rollins here with another Note from Nolen. I'm sure you are aware that as followers of Jesus Christ, we are stewards of all that God blesses us with. We're stewards of our time, our resources, and our abilities, and we're stewards of the God given purpose that God has for each of us. 1 Corinthians 4, verse 2 says, "Moreover, It is required that as stewards, you be found faithful." Are you a faithful steward of the God given mission and purpose that God gave to you for the next stage of your life? If you don't know what that purpose is, I suggest you start being a good steward by discovering what is God's purpose for the next stage of my life. And if you do know what that purpose is, if you are a graduate of the GPS Life Journey, then you should be aware of what is God's purpose for the next stage of my life? Let me encourage you, be a faithful steward. You will have to give an account of how you are faithful in engaging in and fulfilling God's purpose for every stage of your life. If we can help you, let us know here at GPS Life Journey. God bless." In this video, you'll hear our latest Note from Nolen. Here is what he said: "I was told many years ago that the older you get, the faster time flies. Well, I must be getting really, really old. Here it is 2024. My goodness. It seems like the turn of the century was just a couple of years ago.
I hope and trust and pray that 2024. Will be one of the greatest years in your life for bringing God glory through your life because you are serious about fulfilling God's purpose for your life. Jesus said in John 17:4 "Father, I have glorified you by completing the work you sent me here to do". Well, if you complete the work. That God puts you here on earth to do, you will bring great glory to Him. I hope you will discover and be serious about fulfilling your God given mission and purpose in life in 2024. May this be the year of your bringing greatest glory to God." GPS Life Journey is a process that can help you discover your God given mission and how to fulfill that purpose in your current season of life. Check out the EVENTS page to find out when you can join a group in person or online via Zoom. We have facilitators all around the world! Get in touch if you have questions or leave a comment below. In this month's Note From Nolen, we discover what's been happening in 2023 and hopes for 2024
It seems at the end of every year, we become more reflective. We tend to think about what all has happened during the year and especially the blessings of God in our lives. This certainly has been a very God blessed year for GPS Life Journey. We have seen nearly 200 people participate in 24 different small groups. Here in Lenoir City, Tennessee, where the global office is located, as well as many others all around the world, discovering God's purpose for the next stage of their life and developing a strategy to fulfill that purpose. We're grateful for all of you who have participated and grateful that you will recommend others to participate in the GPS life journey process in the coming year. "I wish for you a very, very merry Christmas. I hope you are blessed by being able to spend time with family and friends, and it'd just be a great holiday season for you. One final request here at the end of my greeting today, I will have rotator cuff surgery in three weeks. So I appreciate your prayers on my behalf." Please pray that it will be a full and speedy recovery from that surgery for Nolen. God bless you and have a wonderful Christmas. |
