Who you were made to be
Identity & Purpose
Identity and purpose care is faith-based support for discovering who God made you to be — and the calling He’s placed in you. Dr. Lori Dunn has a special heart for those who feel overlooked or like they don’t quite fit, helping them embrace their God-given identity, gifts, and purpose, and step into them with confidence.
For the ones who feel like “misfits”
Some people have always felt a little different — too much, not enough, on the outside of the room. Often that very wiring carries unique gifts and a calling the world needs, buried under years of feeling overlooked or misunderstood.
Identity and purpose care is for them. It’s about untangling the false beliefs we absorbed about our worth, recovering the truth of who God says we are, and discovering the purpose that has been there all along.
This isn’t generic self-improvement. It’s the slow, sacred work of seeing yourself the way your Maker does — and letting that change how you live.

What to expect
How this unfolds
We begin with your story — where the sense of not-enough or not-fitting took root, and what you long to become. Compassionate care brings clarity to those patterns; inner healing prayer invites God to speak truth into the places shame has spoken loudest.
As false beliefs lose their grip, your real identity and gifts come into focus. From there we look forward — toward the calling, relationships, and contribution you were made for.
There’s no formula and no guaranteed timeline. This is a journey of becoming, walked at a pace that honors your soul.
Common questions
Questions about identity & purpose
Is this counseling or coaching? +
It blends both worlds — Christ-centered inner healing that tends the wounds beneath our identity, and forward-looking support to step into purpose. It is pastoral, faith-based care, not licensed clinical counseling or therapy.
I’ve always felt like I don’t fit. Can this help? +
That sense of not-fitting is exactly the heart of this work. Dr. Dunn especially loves walking with people who feel overlooked or “different,” helping them embrace their God-given identity and gifts.
What if I don’t know my purpose yet? +
You don’t need to have it figured out. We start where you are, heal what’s in the way, and let clarity emerge — purpose is usually discovered, not forced.
