Pastor, philanthropist, and author Rick Warren reflects on how the success of his book The Purpose-Driven Life triggered his own crisis of purpose. What should he do with this unanticipated wealth and attention? Warren uses his own story to explain the central tenet of his teaching: that the antidote to spiritual emptiness is recognizing what we have been given -- wealth, creativity, talent -- and using those gifts to make the world a better place.

In this video, Rick Warren talks about our "world view" or, in other words, what we believe. Examining what we believe in an active way is part of engaging fully in life. Continuing to struggle with the difficult things and continuing to look at the perplexing ideas keeps a focus on God and His best for each of us. To detach from examining what we believe and putting it up to the lens of Scripture on a moment by moment basis is a wonderful way to enrich our daily walk with God.
