Your Mission Call for Life
During your full-time mission, you knew your purpose. It was laid out for you on page one of Preach My Gospel. You also had a sacred mission call signed by a prophet of God giving you a powerful commission to fulfill a specific mission with a specific set of people in a specific place. This specific calling fueled you through the hardest days of your mission. Even when the most intense storms hit, you kept walking forward because a prophet commissioned you. Now that you are home, you have no returned-missionary mission call and no manual to guide you and tell you a specific assignment that God wants you to accomplish. So when the intense storm hits after the mission and you don't have a letter from a prophet to tell you that God called you to this, where do you find strength to push through? How do you discover what your unique life mission is now? What is your personal mission in life after the mission ends? How do you find it? That is what Live Your Mission is all about.
Every single returned missionary has a unique mission to accomplish after their full-time mission. You have a unique life mission. Something that only you can accomplish. Something that only you can create. Something that never existed before. Until you find it, you will be living with uncertainty about why you do what you do everyday. However, once you do find it, everything changes and the world is a better place because you exist.
LIVE YOUR MISSION: 21 Powerful Principles to Discover Your Life Mission After Your Mission
Live Your Mission is a book for returned missionaries (and anyone) who wants to discover their personal life mission, after their full-time mission. It is the first of its kind. There is no other book out there like it and it is the first book in the Live My Gospel book series for returned missionaries. This book consists of 21 powerful principles that will give you a new lens by which to see your self and your world. These principles will empower you to discover for yourself what your personal life mission is and how to act on it once you do.
You can get the paperback book, the audiobook, the eBook, or any combination of the three. You can also purchase more than one set or get a box of them for your ward, stake, or institute and you'll get an even better bulk price. If you have any questions or would like to make a custom order, please don't hesitate to contact me.
When you purchase one of the packages to the right, not only will you receive the promised package, but you will also be a crucial part of launching the Live My Gospel book series.

As missionaries we all eat, drink and sleep Preach My Gospel. It is our life. It is the guide for all we do during our full-time mission and our purpose in life for the entire mission. And we are fueled by a sacred calling from a prophet of God. When we finish our mission, it is as if our mission call has expired, and our purpose as a missionary is no longer our purpose as a returned missionary. Preach My Gospel tells us word for word what our purpose is. We are no longer expected to preach the Lord’s gospel full-time. We are released and our name tags come off. However, we are expected to live the Lord’s gospel full-time. How do we do that? Is there a manual for it? There isn't currently any book or manual to help with this and that's why I am creating it in a series of books, starting with Live Your Mission.

I recently conducted a survey of hundreds of returned missionaries (above graphic from actual survey) to find out what they were interested in learning more about after the mission. They also told us what they thought other recent RMs needed the most to see what they really think is important (not just for them, but for others). We asked them to tell us their greatest concerns. The results were so interesting. The number one request of what they thought was the most important thing to understand better after the mission (based on the quantitative and qualitative combined) was this:
“Finding My Personal Mission in Life.”
The number one concern from RMs?
"How do I figure out what my next step in life is?"
"What is my purpose now?"
"What should I do with my life?"
"How do I know what to do with my life now that I'm home?"
This is why I am starting the Live My Gospel book series with a book about how to discover and solidify your personal life mission, after the mission.

You’re probably thinking, who is this guy? Who does he think he is to create a guide for RMs? Right? Well, first I’ll share some boring items from my resume that might help people who have never heard of me to trust me a little more. Then I’ll tell you the most important reason I am the right person to write this book series.

I know what it's like to feel awkward after the mission. I know what it's like to feel lost after two years of feeling like you know your purpose. I know what it feels like to be that unmarried RM who has been home from his mission for way too long. I know what it's like to look at others and wonder "why does everyone else know what they are doing with their life and I don't?"
I also have experienced the unbeatable thrill of discovering my personal life mission after years of wandering from major to major and from one job to another. There is nothing like it. Finding meaning in your life mission and purpose can get you through the raging storms of life. When you know your purpose, you can keep walking through the rain and snow.
Beyond any of the things above, I know that every single person in the world has a personal mission to accomplish in life. Each person is unique and there is something that only they can bring to the world. I know this. Whoever you are, reading this, right now, YOU have a personal mission to accomplish in life. Something that no other person but YOU can do. And you will feel incredibly fulfilled all your life if you live according to your personal life mission. A large part of my personal life mission is to help as many people as possible to understand that they have a personal life mission and help them to know how to discover it. Once you know this, everything changes and the world is a better place because you exist. The biggest reason for you to trust me, is that I know that there is no one else like you in the world. And there is no one else out there who feels as strongly as I do about you having a personal life mission. That’s why I’m doing this.
I want to change the world by helping you change your world.
