An Interview of Purpose

with Bishop Michael B . Curtis Jr .

I was blessed with the awesome opportunity to sit down and interview my pastor ! In this interview , he opens up to speak about Purpose , his love for the church , as well as the challenges that came with being a pastor .
MORE Mag : You have recently introduced your church , and others to the Power of Purpose Movement . At this time , the official kickoff has not begun yet it is already changing lives . How did God show you that you were to teach on Purpose ?
Bishop Curtis :
One day , I was in prayer , seeking God about church , and even the state of the world . I remember clearly , I just kept saying , God , I don ’ t know . I don ’ t know . God answered me , yes you do know . I am always speaking to you . So I went deeper into prayer to find out the why things are the way they are . While in prayer , God asked me , “ Why are you on earth ? Once you know why , what your purpose is , then you will know how to fulfill your purpose ."
