How could the disciples carry on the work of building God's kingdom if they didn't understand kingdom business?

Jesus used the concept of fishing to show Peter the fisherman, how he would be catching men for the kingdom. 

How can you teach the simple Gospel that hasn't been taught and discipled in churches if you can't even explain the genius and expertise you have inside you?

If anybody needed a Saviour it was David. 

But yet…

God called him a man after His own heart (1 Samuel 13:14).

Not perfect by any means. But still successful and worthy of mention in The Word. 

Your job is to steward your gifts to the best of your ability and walk in obedience as God leads. 

Do that and you'll have a track record of impact that won't be overshadowed because of your imperfections. 

A puzzle is a thing but in order to see it's true beauty you have to go through a process. 

God has given you the pieces. Just like with a puzzle, you start with the ones you know for sure. 

The edges. The obvious patterns. And then you make your way through the unknown sections bit by bit. 

As a leader, your job is to make it easy for people to get into the space where transformation will take place. 

They already have so many barriers - limiting beliefs, doubts, fears - that keep them back. 

Don't make it even harder by using language that shuts them out. Your message won't land and the impact will be lost.

Everything we enjoy in this world has been made imperfectly. That doesn't stop the producers from producing.

Or the customers from ‘customing’ 👀. 

Why should it stop you from doing what God has called you to do?

The simpler you can explain a concept the more people can feel included. 

And that's a great thing for you. The more of your ideal audience you can make feel seen and included, the better they will engage with you. 

When you first start reading The Bible and find yourself learning about people like David, Daniel and Noah it can be easy to get discouraged and hang up your Christian shoes.

I'm here to give you a little pep talk and keep you from getting discouraged.

Instead, these ordinary but victorious people of God can serve as an inspiration and kick your success into gear.

As it relates to purpose and passions, many Christians struggle to figure out why they’re here and what they are called to do. 

We get stuck wondering things like, Am I really doing what God wants? or Is there more to life that I’m missing?

When you’re unsure about what to do, it’s hard to move forward, isn’t it? 

The good news is, you can easily bring order to the chaos by nailing down the differences between purpose and passions.

If you want to go somewhere, you feel more inspired knowing that someone else has already gone there before. Once you know that success is possible, you can start taking action to chart your own path to success.

Notice it starts with earth first. And then heaven responds to the authority we have been given because of Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross. The power lies within us and change begins with us when we open our mouths to pray.
