Discover Your Purpose, Design, And Abilities by Godfrey Ntale

A Christian Workbook for Teenagers Exploring Gifts, Identity, and Self-Discovery.

Teenage years can feel like one long question mark, so this Christian workbook is meant to help teens get clear on who they are, why they matter, and how God has uniquely made them. It’s a practical, Bible-based guide that walks readers through spiritual gifts, personality, abilities, and identity using Scripture, simple explanations, self-assessments, and reflection prompts, with the goal of building confidence and a sense of direction.

This workbook helps teenagers:

• Discover their purpose and God-given design
• Understand their spiritual gifts and abilities
• Explore identity and self-discovery from a Christian perspective
• Learn how personality shapes calling
• Gain confidence to start serving in small, practical ways
• Grow in faith, responsibility, and direction

It works for solo use or groups and fits settings like families, churches, youth groups, schools, and discipleship programs. Rather than handing teens a label or “role,” it nudges them toward steady growth in faith and responsibility and encourages small, real steps of service at home, at school, in their community, and in their church.

FOUNDATIONS

God’s Design and Spiritual Gifts

Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.”

1 Peter 4:10

God has designed every believer with purpose. No one is created empty, useless, or without value. Each person has been entrusted with spiritual gifts, abilities, personality, and potential meant to serve others and glorify God.

Some believers are already aware of their gifts. Others are still discovering them. Some gifts are well developed, while others are still growing. Scripture shows us that gifts are given by God, developed through obedience, and confirmed in community.

Spiritual gifts are not rewards for maturity. They are expressions of God’s grace. Maturity is shown in how we use those gifts, with humility, love, and faithfulness.

What Are Spiritual Gifts?

Spiritual gifts are special, supernatural abilities given by the Holy Spirit to individual Christians to serve God, build up the church, and glorify Him. Unlike natural talents, these grace-driven gifts, such as teaching, service, prophecy, or healing, are designed for the common good. They promote unity, maturity, and service rather than personal status.
