Calling is another name for vocation. So what is your calling? What work has God called you to do? He always equips and anoints us to do the work he created us for. So when we know, embrace and stay in our calling we will experience great fruit - fruit that remains! For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, that He prepared in advance for us to walk in.

Was it worth it? Are you really capable of more than you think? How much difference did the training and nutrition make? What have you learned from this that applies to all of life? Last weekend my son and I did our first ultra trail run. That's 50km (31miles) including climbing in-excess of 4600 foot of elevation. Last episode I summarized what I have learned in the process of preparing for this. But preparation and the actual event are two very different things. In training, the longest run I ...

When was the last time you did something beyond your limitations? This year I turn 50, and five days from now I will be running my first 50km ultra trail run with my 19 year old son. Five months ago I would have said, 'You're crazy, I couldn't do that!' This episode and the one after the event are intended to give you a glimpse into my world and what I'm learning from attempting something beyond 'my ability'. Better yet, you can sit in your comfy desk chair and and glean your own learning. I cha...

How easy is it for you to get offended? I cannot afford to let what offends me steal my time, focus and energy. So here's what I have learned to help me become less offendable. 1. Everyone has choices, whether I like it or not 2. People have different places of influence (I may be concerned, but can I influence this?) 3. Sometimes people are simple 'blind' "Father forgive them for they don't know what they are doing." Jesus And regarding social media posts: When was the last time you changed you...

This week was a celebration of the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776. When first signed, it was either an act of treason or a birth of a nation... depending on the outcome of the war. It wasn't a hasty act; rather a decade of conversations and lawful appeals to reason... all ignored. The result? The American Revolution and the birth of the United States of America. A very different and tragic act of reported independence happened recently. A submersible attempting to visit the s...

Last week a friend text me "Andy, how do you personally know that God is real? Not theology, not philosophy, not trying to convince others. But how do you know for yourself?"

When was the last time you leaned in for some deep spiritual growth? Last month I asked a national faith and work leader I trust, what his suggestions were for me to grow. He told me a couple things then suggested I jump in on the momentum of more than one million Christians fasting and praying for 21 days May. What??!!! More than ONE MILLION PEOPLE already committed to fasting and prayer? I wanted to know more. Now, if you haven't been a praying person or you don't regularly pray for a country,...

When it all boils down, why do you do what you do? Here's a story that highlights this and my personal story of sorting through why I REALLY do what I do and then how to break that down into something I can focus on - lead metrics compared to lag metrics.

His boat was chock full of fish and the executive asked him what he was doing. The fisherman ...

It all started on an early morning flight from Canada heading home to California. I had been a guest speaker at a conference alongside Steve and Wendy Backlund, who are people of great hope and faith. ( IgnitingHope.com ) Up early after long days and late nights of ministry, my plan was to try and catch up on some sleep while on the first of my flights. It wasn’t to be. I kept finding myself ‘interrupted’ by some of the most ridiculously faith-filled thoughts I’d ever had. Having never had such ...

Last episode I made a confession to live up to who God says I am rather than making excuses or hiding or deferring to others. That's all false humility and is not helping anyone. On the other side, how do you keep yourself from getting too full of yourself and ending up in failure? I believe we are on the cusp of another great awakening that is happening all over the world, right now! So as we step and into more of what God does on and through us, beyond our own ability, how do we stay humble an...
