We make hundreds of choices a  day. Some seem of no consequence, and yet . . . are they really?     

A strange man goes around town delivering unusual invitations. The recipients are invited to visit an odd-sounding place called the Discovery Room. Why? So they can be enlightened and discover their full potential. The whole notion sounds lofty and a bit pretentious, but it’s also too intriguing to resist. Some are eager. Some are nervous. Yet once they enter the Room, all are amazed and changed.

In the Discovery Room invitees are shown scenes from their past. Choices—taken and not taken—are highlighted to help them understand how they ended up where they are now. Yet in the Room they also discover how things could have been if only they’d been aware and willing to follow God’s lead. If not for this . . . and this . . . and this . . . their lives could have been different. Above all they learn it’s never too late to open their eyes, their minds, and their hearts to fully see.

Join in these life-changing discoveries—and know that you too are invited.

Will you answer the call? Five ordinary people are given an opportunity to see how God is working in their lives. But are they willing to merge their journey with His?

Claire Adams is a well-known mosaic artist. She’s a feisty,  independent woman with a big faith. She eagerly accepts God’s invitation but has her own ideas about how His plan for her life should play out.

Michelle Jofsky is a giver with a big heart. She works in a homeless shelter and feels she is too ordinary and of little use for any special plan God might have for her life.

Young Summer Peerbaugh is newly on her own. She works multiple jobs, desperately trying to find her purpose. She tries too hard to make things happen.

Ryan Bauer dedicated his life to God a long time ago, and wanders the country, watching for opportunities to serve Him. Offered this new opportunity, he continues his faithful life, seeking God’s ways. But the Almighty has a few surprises in store.

And then there’s the rock star, Jered Manson. He’s too successful and too busy to think about God or His plan. Good thing the God of the Universe is more stubborn than he is.

Experience their journeys–and start your own. Find your God-given purpose as you open the eyes of your heart and are enlightened.

I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people.” Ephesians 1: 18

NOTE:  “Eyes of our Heart” features Ryan from the Mustard Seed Series, Summer from the Sister Circle Series, and Claire, Michelle, and Jered from the Steadfast Series
