Whether we write lyrics or craft legislation, sell homes or teach classes, design spaces or open franchises, prayer is a critical part of the creative process. Don’t just brainstorm praystorm.

Whatever God wants to do through you, He will do in you first. You've got to be what you want to see.

Image
The more problems you have, the more potential you have to help people. One of the most paralyzing mistakes we make is thinking that our problems somehow disqualify us from being used by God. [...] If you don’t have any problems, you don’t have any potential. Here’s why. Your ability to help others heal is limited to where you’ve been wounded.

One of our fundamental spiritual problems is this: we want God to do something new while we keep doing the same old thing.

It’s much easier to act like a Christian than it is to react like one!

Faith is unlearning this senseless worries and misguided beliefs that keep us captive. It is far more complex than simply modifying behavior. Faith is rewiring the human brain. We are literally upgrading our minds by downloading the mind of Christ.

If you really believe in the message you're preaching, you want as many people as possible to listen.

Sometimes God leads us to a place where we have nowhere to turn but to Him our only option is to trust Him.

If you want to find your voice, you need to hear the voice of God.

You cannot build God’s reputation if you aren’t willing to risk yours.

Image
We pray as if God’s chief objective is our personal comfort. It’s not. God’s chief objective is His glory.

Image
Never underestimate the power of a single prayer.

Image
The healthiest and holiest people are the people who laugh at themselves the most. Failure helps us take God more seriously and ourselves less seriously.
Mark Batterson
Image
If the kingdom of God had departments, we’d want to work in research and development. We felt like Jesus didn’t hang out at the synagogue, he hung out at wells. Coffeehouses are postmodern wells. Let’s not wait for people to come to us, let’s go to them.

You are someone else's miracle! God is setting up divine appointments and it is our job to keep them

Our Heavenly Father is far too wise and loves us far too much to give us everything we ask for.

If you seek answers you won't find them, but if you seek God, the answers will find you.

If you want God to do something new in you, you cannot keep doing the same old thing. You have to do something different. And if you do, God will create new capacities within you. There will be new gifts and new revelations. But you've got to pray the price. You'll get out of this what you put into it.
