For a Purpose is a TSF podcast celebrating the people and stories shaping the future of the Restoration Movement. Each episode features authentic conversations with leaders, pastors, investors, and everyday believers who are living out their God-given mission — in the church, in the marketplace, and everywhere in between. Together, we explore where faith meets action, how calling leads to impact, and how God uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things. If you’re looking for encouragement, clarity, or just a reminder that your life matters in the Kingdom, this podcast is for you.
In this episode, we pick the brains of prominent Restoration Movement leaders across the nation. If you have questions about leadership in the church, we have answers.
