1. The Chase
What you seek shapes who you are. What you care most about determines what you become. How can we truly know our purpose without consulting our Creator? Seek first His Kingdom, the Bible tells us, and all of these things will become clear to us.

2. Accountability Matters
There’s a Harvard study that was done a few years back which found that we become an average of the three people we spend the most time around. This raises some serious questions about who we spend our time with—are we surrounding ourselves with people who challenge us and make us better? Or, are...

3 - Your Worldview
Whether or not we’ve spent much time considering this, we all have a worldview—a lens that shapes the way we see the world and walk around in it.

It’s difficult to not become entitled in this life. But, entitlement is the opposite of gratitude, and gratitude cultivates joy.

7 - God-Given Gifts
The Lord has given all of us unique gifts and abilities, and it delights Him when we step into our God-ordained purpose. When we trust Him as our compass, He will guide us into the perfect opportunities to use our gifts for Him. This is why we are not made to chase platforms or clout, but to chas...

8 - Living and Breathing
It’s so important that Scripture is a foundational pillar of our lives. Through it, God speaks and guides us through every step. All of Scripture is perfectly inspired and God-breathed. In Ephesians, Paul speaks about the armor of God. The Word is our sword—and our only offense against the enemy....

9 - Your Treasure
What you think about is what you care about, what you care about is what you chase, and what you chase, you become. The Bible tells us that where our treasure is, our heart will be also. Fill your hearts with things of heaven, of the Word, and of God’s goodness. The things of this world are dust ...
