Jesus didn’t die to keep us safe. He died to make us dangerous! Your brave is someone else’s breakthrough.

“Whoever has ears, let them hear.” It’s only six words, but it’s an urgent exhortation with exponential implications. The word “obey” in Latin means “to give ear.” God speaks in seven languages. The first language is Scripture, and it’s in a category by itself. But there are six secondary languages—desires, dreams, doors, people, promptings, and pain. Your ability to learn those languages is the key to your destiny. Learn more at MarkBatterson.com/Whisper

Meekness is not weakness. It’s strength under control. Few character traits are more impressive than someone who isn’t trying to impress! If you stay humble and stay hungry there is nothing God cannot do in you and through you.

Playing the Long Game starts with a mindset: it’s all FROM GOD and it’s all FOR GOD. When we give, we are “giving back” what God gave us in the first place. And that’s where joy is found, on the giving side of life. The more you give, the more you enjoy what you keep. And you discover that you cannot out give God. Every investment in God’s kingdom earns compound interest for eternity.

Time is measured in minutes, but life is measured in moments. Redeeming the time is discerning those critical moments, holy moments, teachable moments and making the most of them. It’s living each day like it’s the first day and last day of our lives. It’s being fully present right here, right now. And, ultimately, it’s trusting God’s timing.

Inaction is an action. Indecision is a decision. And sometimes silence sanctions! If you follow Jesus, you will love people who aren't like you. Being color blind isn't enough. We're called to be color brave!

The key to discovering WHO YOU ARE is remembering WHOSE YOU ARE

Hope confronts the brutal facts with unwavering faith. It knows that 1) This too shall pass 2) Its ok to not be ok 3) The obstacle is the way!

Faith grows stronger the same way a muscle does. You have to stretch it, exercise it, and feed it. You break it down to build it up.
