According to recent research, 97% of people in the U.S. agree: “For me, it is important that I live a purposeful life.” Studies in psychology, gerontology, and neurology show that having purpose in life is especially beneficial for older adults. Those with purpose live longer, healthier, and more meaningful lives. But research also shows that purpose tends to decline as we get older. The very thing that helps us flourish often diminishes as the years go by. Thus, people in the third third of life are eager to have purpose that enables them to flourish personally while making a difference that matters in the world.
 

The De Pree Center’s Purpose in the Third Third of Life course, based on the foundation of biblical truth and enriched by current scholarly research, will help those who are in or approaching the third third receive, clarify, craft, and live their purpose. Through a combination of lecture, small group discussion, and personal reflection, the course encourages people to pay attention to what matters most when it comes to their third third purpose. By the end of the course, participants will know more clearly what their purpose is and how to live according to that purpose each day. They will also see how their distinctive purpose reflects God’s purpose for their lives.
