PurStrAction Intake

Last updated 2026-05-13

The PurStrAction intake is a guided conversation that walks you through your Calling, Mission, and Vision, then helps you build a three-layer plan rooted in Purpose, Strategy, and Action. It lives at /purstraction.

What is PurStrAction?

PurStrAction is a Christ-centered life operating framework with three layers:

  • Purpose - the WHY behind what you are doing. Rooted in Faith, Stewardship, and Legacy. Answers: why does this matter to Jesus and to you?
  • Strategy - the HOW. Concrete directional commitments for each Purpose. Answers: how will you live this out in your actual season?
  • Action - the WHAT. Specific, repeatable practices. Daily, weekly, or monthly. Answers: what will you do, and what is the smallest version that still counts?

The 8 intake steps

  1. Calling - What is Jesus calling you to lead in this season? Use plain words. One sentence is enough.
  2. Mission - Your one-sentence mission statement for the next year of your life.
  3. One-year vision - What does life look like 12 months from now, walking with Jesus daily?
  4. Five-year vision - The bigger arc. Who are you becoming, not just what are you doing?
  5. Current season - Name the chapter Jesus has you in right now. Building, pruning, transition, restoration, abundance, or valley.
  6. Purposes - The AI Coach proposes 3-7 Purposes mapped to your Pillars based on your Calling and Season. You review and edit before confirming.
  7. Strategies - For each Purpose, the Coach proposes 1-3 Strategies. You review and edit.
  8. Actions - For each Strategy, the Coach proposes 1-3 Actions with cadence and a Faithful Action. You choose which ones to promote to Anchors.

How long does it take?

About 10 minutes for most people. You can type or speak each answer. Tap Skip for now on any step and come back later. The intake picks up where you left off.

The plan board

After completing the intake, your plan appears as a three-level card layout: Purpose cards at the top, Strategies nested inside, Actions nested inside each Strategy. Tap any title to edit it inline. Every card saves immediately.

Tap Promote to Anchor on any Action to add it to your daily Anchors. The Action links back to the Anchor so you can see which Actions are already part of your daily rhythm.

How it connects to daily Anchors

Actions promoted to Anchors appear on your Today screen alongside your other Anchors. This is the bridge between your long-range plan and your daily walk. The plan tells you why. The Anchor holds the what in front of you every day.

How the AI Coach uses your plan

Once your intake is complete, the Anchored Coach reads your Calling, Mission, and active Strategies as context for every conversation. When you ask for guidance, the Coach can speak into your actual direction rather than offering generic advice.

When to redo the intake

Your plan is meant to evolve with your season. Revisit it when:

  • A major season shifts (new role, new child, a hard valley, a season of release).
  • You realize your Calling or Mission has sharpened or changed.
  • Your Anchors no longer feel connected to anything bigger.

You can update individual Purpose, Strategy, and Action cards directly on the board at any time without re-running the full intake.
