My name is Liz Jurado. I am from Long Island, NY (Bay Shore, NY).
1) Which type of person are you?
- The Lukewarm – Been a Christian for years, but feel like you're on cruise control
- Let me explain. When you don't have a Christian circle of influence, it's just you and God. Nothing wrong with that, but 99% of my time is spent in a household surrounded by unbelievers. Husband and children (late teens and young adults) who choose not to believe enough and get close. Regardless of my influence. When I try to share, I get told, "Please don't. That's your belief, and I respect your belief. Please respect mine. We are different people."
- The Called – Want to increase your faith fitness and step into God's calling (business, ministry, passion project)
- I have a purpose. I am an Overseer. Overseers want to bring peace from chaos. They are often drawn to solving problems that others weren’t patient enough to see through to the end and have a hard time saying "no," especially when they know exactly what to do. Overseers value relationships and tend to be the people on the team who "get it done." They are often the most expedient solution to a problem, which means they prefer to be in control. Overseers are deeply relational. This means they can move slowly in favor of getting everyone on board and ensuring that others are seen and involved. Overseers move toward decisions where they can meaningfully contribute. They excel in roles that require organization, reliability, and a steady hand to guide processes to completion.
2) What are you hoping to gain from this community?
- A lot of insight, a circle of influence, support.
3) What's 1 habit you know you need to change?
- I need to pick up my bible daily and connect with God more.
While I'm at it, in a few short words, the way that God has shown up in my life is visible in the fact that I am above ground and not under. I am a Domestic Violence Survivor, and beyond that, I've survived abuse in different areas of my life, including marital (different from the domestic violence) and workplace abuse. My purpose stems from my experiences, as I have found my purpose through my pain. God turns what the enemy meant for evil into good.
