Soul Storming guidebook: Discovering God's Spark In You, Setting It Ablaze, and Staying Stoked In Your Community

by Jason T Heriford, Justine Boyer (Illustrator), Scott Gray (Illustrator)

Overview

Soul Storming guidebook is the resource to take you from Zero to Sixty in the discovery, actuation and fullness of your Life Purpose. This book is for anyone who has felt that there is more to life. You may have no clue what Your Purpose is, or you may already be on task but want to go farther; either way, the Soul Storming process can get you on mission and through any challenge.

Here's what a few Soul Stormers have to say about Soul Storming:

"Soul Storming is an amazing way to explore my mission within the Body.
Pursuing my 'call' on my own would be lonely and discouraging. I LOVED the opportunity to join others, for them to become part of my mission, and to become part of theirs." - Shannon Paz, Soul Stormer

"Soul Storming is a fresh new program all about "digging deep" regarding your inner passion to make a significant impact in your community and the world at large." - Sam Soto, Soul Stormer

"The Soul Storming process enables people to turn a 'desire to lead' into a 'formative action' and proceed with the support of the community...it is also a great way to vet emerging community leaders and encourage/support them in leading change operations by doing what they love in the communities where they live." - Kris Barrilleaux, Soul Stormer

"My favorite part of Soul Storming was making new friends, sharing our thoughts, ideas and the inspiration to continue on with my dream, whatever that may look like." - Drew Paz, Soul Stormer

"Before I went through Soul Storming, I was searching for God-knows-what. I had a feeling that there was something more for me, something for me to do or learn or say, but I was very unfocused. And, I was very frustrated. I had a sense that God was with me, but it was only that - a sense or feeling. As I began to grow through Soul Storming, I realized that God not only is more to me, but He wants me to be more for Him. I learned how to be vulnerable, how to trust and how to heal. I also learned that God has a plan for me, that He wants to use me in a way that reveals my passions and fulfills a mission that loves, serves, and glorifies Him." - Eric Falkenbury, Soul Stormer

Here's what one Pastor from Gateway Church in Austin, TX has to say:

Soul Storming is for people who want greater clarity in life, who want an experience of genuine community, and who want to make a powerful impact in their world! I am excited to tell you how Soul Storming is fueling that desire in our church.

As a pastor at Gateway Church, I helped to launch a new initiative in our church a little over a year ago. The goals are to connect people into small groups and then to mobilize them into serving the physical and spiritual needs of the folks who live near them. We believe that we aren't really fulfilling the mission of Jesus if people just go to church on Sunday morning. Instead we must be challenging people to be the Body of Christ every day, right where they live.

Soul Storming brings together a group of about 10 people who connect around helping each other discover and live out their mission in life. There is a powerful dynamic that is created in each Soul Storming group as each person discovers their life mission and as the group provides mutual support to live it out.

The results have been remarkable. The individual participants have found clarity in their calling and genuine community among their group. Even more exciting has been the ever-growing list of ongoing service projects that have come out of the Soul Storming process.

If you want a life of personal clarity, genuine community, and impact, then I recommend Soul Storming. If you are a church leader and you want to mobilize your church to passionately serve their neighborhoods, then I whole-heartedly endorse Soul Storming. My prayer is that God will use it in your life and in your church to bring personal and community transformation as He already has in ours! Gary Foran, Gateway Church

Here's what Gary Foran, pastor for Gateway Church, Austin/Round Rock, TX, says about Jason:

No one has had a bigger role in this initiative (to challenge people to be the Body of Christ every day, right where they live) than Jason Heriford. Jason's vision for Soul Storming came to him just as we were getting organized for this initiative in our church, and frankly, the timing could not have been more ideal.
