“The Purpose Driven Life” , written by Rick Warren in 2002, quickly became and remains one of the best-selling non-fiction books of all time.  Its’ exploration of the triple interweaving themes of ‘Who am I?’ ‘Do I matter?’ And ‘Why am I here?’ clearly struck a timely and universal nerve regarding the human search for significance.While finding and living out our purpose - our uniquely designed blessing for the world - is indeed a struggle we must each undergo, it seems that some of us might have personalities that are driven more early and often  by that dynamic.  For instance, enneagram archetype Three appears somehow more attuned in their soul to - and thus driven by - purpose.  However, when living life unconsciously, their driving purpose is not always healthy and can actually cause great suffering for themselves and those around them.

In this episode we get to hear how the seed of purpose keeps appearing in the life and story of Colin Harris, ennea-type Three, co-creator and partner at the Birmingham Recovery Center, husband, brand-new proud father, and recovering heroin addict.  Listen in as Colin shares how his early drive for purpose almost got him killed and left him just short of prison, but also how redeemed purpose has changed/is changing the trajectory of his life AND others in his community.

And if that’s not enough to get you to listen we also get to take another shot at Auburn football!
