Room 7 – The Architect
Play Your Role
It's time to step into the role you were created for...
I see you equipped with your ecosystem but unclear about your ultimate purpose—and I know exactly what's missing. You've built your support system and learned to collaborate effectively. People are responding to your leadership, and your impact is growing. But now comes the ultimate question: What's your actual role in God's kingdom? How do you represent Him authentically while leading others toward their own breakthrough?
What if the confusion about your role isn't because you're unqualified—it's because you haven't understood what it means to be God's image-bearer on earth?
”That role became a pathway for my writing gift to serve the kingdom, but only because I learned to discern my actual assignment versus my personal preferences.“
— Dawn Mann Sanders, When Your World Ends —

So, what does playing your role as God's representative actually look like in Room 7?
Leading from identity: You understand that your authority comes from being God’s image-bearer, not from your achievements or others’ approval. Your leadership flows from who you are in Him, not what you’ve accomplished for Him.
Creating fruitfulness: You use your gifts to produce ongoing abundance—not just one-time successes, but sustainable impact that continues to multiply. Your creativity reflects God’s creative nature.
Facilitating increase: You help others grow intellectually, spiritually, relationally, and practically. Your leadership multiplies capacity in others, not just in yourself.
Building fullness: You create environments where people experience satisfaction, fulfillment, and divine purpose. Your stewardship brings out the best in everything under your care.
Exercising godly dominion: You lead with humility, serve others’ interests, and steward resources wisely for future generations. Your authority serves God’s purposes, not your ego.
Be faithful to the specific role God assigned you...
“God has given each of you a gift from His great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another.”
— 1 Peter 4:10–11 —

But that future requires you to stop leading from insecurity and start stewarding from identity...
This is your kingdom room—where God transforms your capability into His representation on earth. Learning to steward His image through your specific calling is your assignment right now.

When Your World Ends: God's Creative Process for Rebuilding a Life
The foundation of everything we’re doing here. The full theological context and additional spiritual formation exercises are available in the book.
7 steps
What's my progress?
God’s Creative Process is a 7-step, biblically-grounded framework for rebuilding after a devastating loss, major life disruption, or soul-crushing disappointment.
Rest is not your reward for working hard—rest is your assignment right now.
Most people think rest is something you earn after productivity. I’m telling you rest IS the productivity right now. Rest is sacred strategy, not spiritual laziness.
God’s light is about to change everything.
When God created light in Genesis 1:3, He didn’t just illuminate the physical realm—He provided fresh revelation about His will.
Before God spoke, the universe was in darkness regarding His will. But when He said “Let there be light,” everything shifted from ignorance of God’s will to knowledge of it. The universe understood what God wanted it to create.
Clean air for your spirit.
When God separated waters above from waters below in Genesis 1:6-8, He created atmosphere—clean air for breathing. But unresolved emotions pollute our spiritual atmosphere and create toxic air that suffocates our spirits.
Just as our bodies need clean air, our spirits need clean spiritual air—the breath of life, the Holy Spirit. But stinking thinking, wrong choices, and unhealthy emotions contaminate our spiritual atmosphere.
Fertile soil produces abundant fruit.
When God said “Let the earth bring forth” in Genesis 1:11-13, He was referring to productive growth—vegetation that yields seeds, trees that bear fruit. But nothing grows without the right environment.
God’s luminaries operate on divine timing.
When God created the sun, moon, and stars in Genesis 1:14-19, He didn’t just create sources of light—He created timekeepers. These luminaries serve “for signs and seasons, and for days and years.” They don’t shine randomly; they shine according to divine appointment.
Just as the sun rules the day and the moon rules the night, you have specific seasons when your light is meant to shine and specific spheres where it will have maximum impact.
God’s ecosystem design creates sustainable abundance.
When God created the living creatures in Genesis 1:20-25, He didn’t create isolated beings. He created an interconnected ecosystem where birds filled the skies, marine life filled the seas, and animals filled the earth—all working together to create abundance that sustained itself.
Just as every creature contributed uniquely while depending on the whole, you have a specific role to embody while engaging with others who fill the gaps you can’t fill alone.
God’s image-bearers lead from identity, not insecurity.
When God created humanity in Genesis 1:26-28, He didn’t just create another creature. He created image-bearers—representatives who would display His character on earth. The Hebrew word “tselem” means representation, like a ambassador who embodies the values and authority of their nation.
Just as God blessed humanity with fruitfulness, increase, fullness, and dominion, you’re designed to create abundance not just for yourself, but for everyone in your sphere of influence.
next step
You're ready to return to Room 1
You’re closer to entering God’s rest than you think. After you’ve learned to steward God’s image through your unique calling and built sustainable Kingdom systems, you’ll be ready for the next phase: learning to rest from your completed work and remain connected from a place of trust rather than fear. Room 1 (Hovering 2.0) is where you return as God’s representative—where you learn to cease your creative work and enter His rest.
You’ll know you’re ready to return to Room 1 when:
You’ve completed a significant creative cycle and feel the need to stop.
You’re operating effectively in your role, but sense God calling you to rest.
You want to deepen your connection with God from a place of accomplishment rather than desperation.
That's not random advice. That's strategic progression.
Room 1 (2.0) is where you learn God’s rhythm of work and rest—creating from abundance rather than emptiness. See how to enter God’s rest as His image-bearer and begin your next creative cycle from a place of divine connection.
