I want to introduce you to a little project I’ve put together. It’s a devotional book made up of a lot of blog posts and personal writings.
The thing that I think you’ll find most important in this project is a section of each devotional called ‘Quiet.’ These sections are meant to help you hear from God and meditate on the love of Jesus in a new way. Each day also has a ‘Share It’ section. Feel free to tweet, facebook, instagram, and post to Google + as much as you’d like.

If you’re like me, you like thinking of new things.
You like dreaming new dreams.
You like thinking up new ways of doing things.
You like imagining what could be.
Sometimes, though, you can’t reinvent the wheel.
Sometimes, the way someone else does something is the same way you need to do it.
Sometimes, you can take what someone else is doing and adjust it to work for you.
Hebrews 2:18 – Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.
I have never been snow skiing. I’ve been by ski resorts, I’ve been in stores that sold ski equipment, and I’ve even watched skiing in the Olympics. I’d even go as far as to say that snow skiing is one of my favorite winter Olympic sports. Ask me to teach you how to ski, though, and you’d be in deep trouble. I know nothing about the technical aspects of actually skiing. I have no idea what it feels like to be rushing down a mountain with the snow under your feet and the wind in your face.
1. People are more likely to read it.
Whether we like to admit it or not, people’s attention spans are shrinking quickly. No longer are people likely to have their attention taken for long periods of time. People like scanning what they read because they can do so quickly. When we communicate in bullet points, people are able to get the point without having to have their attention taken from other things while they’re doing it.
One of the temptations any young leader can have is to try and be someone else. So much that they end up trying to be like someone else.
Now, don’t get me wrong. There’s certainly nothing wrong with having a mentor and looking up to someone else for inspiration.
There’s definitely nothing wrong with taking ideas and tips from a leader you admire and applying them to you own life.
Just know…
