Rick Warren and Oprah Discuss Purpose on "Lifeclass"

Author and Saddleback megachurch pastor Rick Warren appeared on Oprah Winfrey’s LifeClass on OWN to talk about purpose in life and to discuss the recent re-release of his bestseller, The Purpose Driven Life. The OC Register reported that Warren talked about “life’s biggest questions: ‘What on earth am I here for?’ and ‘What is my purpose?'”

Warren said he didn’t call the book The Purpose Driven Life by accident. “If you look up the word ‘drive’ in a dictionary, ‘to drive’ means ‘to guide, control, or direct.’ … Everybody’s life is driven by something. And this is the difference between success and significance.”

The first time Warren appeared on the show, he and Winfrey discussed the five “cards” that make up a person’s identity: chemistry, connections, circumstances, consciousness and choices.
