One of the age-old questions that silently seep through the tiny, dark crevices of most people's mind is: What is my purpose?
Many individuals believe their occupation is synonymous with their purpose--their life's mission. Most are satisfied with this belief until they wake up one day questioning their very existence and find themselves on long rides to nowhere as they try to determine why they were created. You'd be surprised to know how many people wonder why they even entered this world in the first place. Wondering is to put it mildly, but more like obsessing over it. Sometimes it is a dead-end job, no real, meaningful connections or relationships, and no knowledge of purpose that lead folks to believe they have no other reason to be on Earth other than to take up space. They feel that if they disappeared tomorrow, they would easily be replaced by another. It is unfortunate, but it is because they have yet to realize just how meaningful their life is


Sam Richardson was born and raised in Prichard, Alabama. At the age of 18, Richardson was called into ministry through a spiritual experience. God commanded Richardson to teach and preach his Word, proclaiming the Gospel to the lost and vulnerable. It was through his spiritual calling, birthed the confirmation not only to discover purpose but to live on purpose.

For Richardson, the journey of purpose was about pursuing his passion, discovering who he was and what God called him to do. After years of highs and lows, tragedies and victories, Richardson decided to write the book Live on Purpose.
