The Pillar of Where

The final pillar is the Pillar of Where, or Place. Where we serve and who we serve rounds out the four pillars. There are many places — called spheres in the story — that we can serve. In addition, the places we serve will change over time.

We start by asking Jesus where he wants us to serve. The first place we serve is right where we find ourselves right now. Using Ellie from the story as an example — she wants to be a chef. How can she do that since she is still at home and in school? As she learns what a chef needs to do, she can put those into practice right at home and in school.

We also need to discover who we will be serving. The world is a big place with over 7 billion people in it, so we can't help everyone. We need to ask Jesus for who he wants us to serve. Who have problems or needs that you are the best one to help solve?

Some questions to ask yourself:

• Who do you like being around?
• Who listens to you?
• What problems do they have?
• Do you have solutions for them?
• Has your who changed?
