“Desire moves mountains and breaks down walls. Sometimes we get off course, desiring things or setting goals that will lead to no good end.

“You can avoid making mistakes and play not to lose, or you can make the most of every opportunity and play to win. I live by a simple premise: the greatest risk is taking no risk at all. . . . The leading cause of failure is mismanaged success. And the leading cause of success […]
“In kingdom work, things have a way of coming back around! We serve a God who values hearts over titles and loves turning our perceptions inside out. Risk is the currency of good adventure. . . . Deep calling to deep. It’s what you were made for.”- Dick Foth “For it is with your heart […]
“The nicknames that Jesus gave were not descriptive as much as they were prescriptive. . . . Jesus saw potential where others didn’t. Those nicknames were more than terms of endearment.

“Our experiences shape the way we think, the way we interact with each other, and the way we live. They add richness and depth and meaning to our days. . . . To saturate those trips [around the sun] with people and places, moments and memories, creates a richness that never stops. It allows the […]
“You are hardwired for an adventure as unique as you are. . . . But we are all wired for the ultimate adventure of following Jesus. . . . The very nature of the gospel is Jesus inviting the disciples on an adventure. To do what they’d never done and go where they’d never gone. […]
“Our outlook on life is determined by a few defining moments when God meets us and we meet God. . . . Those moments are more than memories from the past. They are spiritual astigmatisms . . . [the] lens through which we perceive the present and dream of the future.”- Mark Batterson “The past […]
