How do you think God sees you right now?  

Spend more time with your dreams for the future rather than your regrets of the past.  

If your creativity feels opposed, it's helpful to remember the enemy has opposed the Creator and creation since time began. 

How we see the world is so essential. When God is at the center, our vision is focused. But the farther we get from him, the less we see what’s real. Our vision becomes blurred.

I grew up believing those in top leadership roles got there through their proven courage, wisdom, humility, and integrity. If only that were true.  

Some things we often confuse as the same, to our great detriment.

God doesn’t just know what makes you come alive. He gave you those unique longings and desires…for you to pursue together, with him.  

If we wait until we feel completely qualified to take the next step, we’ll forever stay stuck where we are. 

The world demands we align with whatever agenda the entertainment, business, educational, and political leaders hold up as important. We’re told to veer from that script is to risk having our voices silenced.

For years, the fastest growing book category has been books on audio. Is that a surprise? 

Sometimes these daily readings feel like notes I write and place into ancient green bottles. I then toss each into the sea and watch the current carry them away.

So often creativity is a game of You vs. Yourself.  

God infused you with gifts before you were born. He gave you specific passions so the two of you could pursue them together. The more you know God, the more you discover your true identity and purpose.

We often refer to the moment of a breakthrough solution or idea as when lightning strikes.

Almost all of our favorite movies and novels follow a model called The Hero’s Journey. Once you know this, you’ll see it in every story from The Wizard of Oz to Star Wars…to your own.

It’s telling that self-help books regularly top the bestseller lists. But it’s no surprise.  

How would our lives change if we practiced gratitude in the midst of the unknown rather than making it dependent on a desired outcome? 

My counselor is almost eighty years old. He is one of the wisest, kindest, and most alive humans I’ve ever spent time with.

It’s easier to misplace our awe than our car keys.
