The time with Andy Stanley has been rich. Hard to capture all of the paradigm shifts. But here is one concept I love. Andy said, “All I try to do is move people an inch.” I think most of us want to revolutionize people’s lives in one thirty-minute sermon or solve all of a person’s problems in one counseling session. In the process, we put way too much pressure on ourselves to accomplish more than we’re capable of! We can’t always get people all the way down the field and across the goal line in one sermon or one session or one meeting. What if we focused on moving people an inch at a time?

Not sure why that impacted me so much, but it was such a freeing thought.

An inch at a time!
