Include citations and references from the topic study materials. 1. Summarize the concept of missio Dei (missional purpose). Your answer in 100-150 words: The concept of Missio Dei is a simple yet complex and deep idea of the church meaning “mission of God”. This concept is extremely important in the life of a Christian and our purpose as Christians here on earth. The mission of the church should subset that of our God. We try to follow by example of what God has called for us to do and be here on earth. Jesus is the key to this mission, and we cannot complete it without him. That’s why God sent him to save us. And to help us complete God’s mission. That is what Missio Dei is. 2. Summarize Buechner's concept of finding your purpose and explain how this aligns with the way you live out your worldview (missional purpose). Your answer in 100-150 words: Buechner’s concept of finding your purpose is very important is figuring how to live through your worldview. It explains that we as humans find our purpose through what bring brings you deep gladness and what the world needs. What brings you joy must be connected to something that is not only beneficial to you but those around you as well. Once you find this “purpose”, it is important that you live your life with the intent to fulfil your purpose. As Christians, it might to spread the word of God, or to help those in need. Everyone has a purpose on this earth, we just need to find it and live our lives by it. 3.

How we believe we were created and why is very important in understanding our purpose as humans. God created us in him image to love and live our lives like him. That’s why relationships are so important to us and why without them, our lives feel unfulfilled as they would with others. God is a relational being and we get that from him. We find our purpose through that. We weren’t made for no reason. We’re not just product of coincidental event. God put us on this earth a reason. So, we can love Him and each other. And help other love him as well. So that we can all be together with him in heaven forever. 4. Describe how Jesus's statement of overarching purpose in the commandment to love God and love others as ourselves can be lived in and out of the workplace. Your answer in 100-150 words: Jesus was very clear when He told how are to live our lives. With love. Love is the single most important thing we can choose to live our lives by. Because God is love. Pure, unconditional love and by choosing to live with love means living our lives according to God and his teachings. In our everyday lives in school and in our jobs, we can choose to do these things with love. The same love that Jesus showed us. Not the kind of love where we expect something in return, but a love where we do it simply because we love them and want to help. 5. Describe how your future career can be an opportunity to help others flourish, to be purposeful, and to do no harm. Your answer in 100-150 words: In our world today, the jobs we have and choose to put our time into are very important. We need jobs to live secure and stable lives. How we choose to be purposeful in our work every day. And not every job is going to be specifically helping others in the lives and getting them closer to God. However, we can choose to make our jobs opportunities to be helpful by how we work at those jobs or how we interact with those around us. The way we work at our jobs can be very beneficial for others in their lives.
