Sir Percival

Percival begins as an unsure youth—naïve, inexperienced, feeling out of place among knights. His story is a quest from confusion to discovering his true identity as a son of the King.

In the Arthurian tradition (Wolfram von Eschenbach’s Parzival), Percival’s transformation comes when he realizes his worth is rooted not in reputation but in the King’s call. That truth steadies him and gives purpose.

Percival becomes strong when he believes he belongs to the King. Likewise, discipleship is about anchoring identity in who God says you are and stepping into the call.

The Belt of Truth tells you who you are: loved, claimed, and sent by the King. Fastening this belt helps you move from uncertainty to faithful action.

Reflection Questions

1. In what ways do you feel unprepared or unworthy like early Percival? What truth from God counters that?

2. What small risk could you take this week that would show you trust your identity as a child of the King?

3. How can you remind yourself daily that your worth comes from God, not from achievements or others’ approval?

   
   

Like Sir Percival, your quest becomes clearer and your steps steadier when you fasten the Belt of Truth and live as a child of the King. You are His. You are loved.
