What is the sweet spot?
The sweet spot is the alignment of our unique design (Be), purpose (Do), and position (Go).
Design – Who am I created to be?
Generally, I am created in the image of God to be a disciple.
Personally, I need to ask myself, “what distinguishes me from all others?”
Purpose – What am I created to do?
Generally, I am created to make disciples.
Personally, I need to ask myself, “what can I do that will produce unique good works for God.”
Position – Where am I created to go?
Generally, it’s where I am.
Personally, I need to ask myself, “what is the context where I can be most effective?”
Point 2
There is joy and harmony in the sweet spot.
There is the least amount of friction in the sweet spot because all of the parts are working in harmony with each other.
Point 3
