Identity and Purpose
My name is Austin Brown and I’m a practicing Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Arkansas, with a background of service in Christian ministry. Identity and Purpose was created as an avenue to provide counseling, education, and consultation.
The idea behind Identity and Purpose came about in wrestling with how to make sense of the world and my place in it.
I was serving in a Christian ministry, trying to figure things out (as we do) while also walking with others through life's difficulties. There were a number of questions I was being confronted with.
How can we make sense out of the chaos we experience in the world around us?
How does God work in the world, where is He in the midst of the chaos?
What role do I/we play in all of it?
I began to summarize these things I felt God was teaching me in response to these questions using these words: Identity and Purpose.
For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.
Ephesians 2:10 (NASB)
