Uncovering Your Purpose in the Body of Christ
Are You Ready to Discover Your Unique Role in the Body of Christ?
In “Gifted for His Glory“, Peter Corcoran invites you on a transformative journey to uncover your unique role within the Body of Christ. This book (and website) is more than a guide—it’s a heartfelt exploration of purpose, identity, and spiritual gifts designed to help you find your purpose within God’s Kingdom.
Drawing from Paul’s teachings in Romans, Corinthians, and Ephesians, “Gifted for His Glory” outlines twelve essential roles in the church, each bringing something vital to the health and growth of the whole. These roles—apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, teachers, miracle workers, healers, helpers, administrators, exhorters, givers, and those who show mercy—are explored through the lives of Jesus’ twelve disciples, showing how these gifts were embodied in practical, powerful ways.
Through personal stories and scriptural insights, Corcoran reveals his own journey from confident calling to seasons of doubt, including his experiences as a teacher and audio engineer. His struggles with identity and purpose resonate with anyone who has felt unseen or uncertain in their place in the church. In a world that often values prominence, Corcoran reminds us that every role—whether in the spotlight or behind the scenes—is indispensable to God’s work.
“Gifted for His Glory” includes a comprehensive reflective survey which guides you to discover your spiritual gifts and helps you understand how to use them effectively. This interactive tool, combined with encouraging words and a scriptural foundation, empowers you to embrace your calling with confidence, maturity, and love.
