Interests Inventory: Tools I Already Have

You may not have considered that some of the things you enjoy in life are actually tools that God has given you. Some of your hobbies or other areas of interest may be ways that you can connect with people to impact them for the Kingdom.

I love to go in my kayak. When I talk with other people who enjoy kayaks, we have an instant connection because of our common interest. Interest in kayaks has opened the door for many conversations with people. It has become an entry point for friendship with new people I meet.

So, what are some things you already like to do that can be used to connect with people? The list is endless. Here are just a few to get you started thinking about interests in your life that God could use for Kingdom purposes.
