30 Day Trial | Day 2

Welcome to Day 2, Where the Rubber Meets The Road...

For those of you that came to the Maximum Impact Event at Living Hope Church yesterday the image above should be familiar. Kevin Carroll, the author of Rules of The Red Rubber Ball, spoke about Passion, Purpose, and Intention. Each of these things is important in order to be successful at the 30 Day Trial Challenge.

Passion
It is interesting that he mentions passion before purpose . You would think that you should have your purpose and intention first. If you think about it though without the passion to actually do something we will never even start. We need passion to drive us forward.

Purpose
Once we have a desire to change, then we can use a technique like the 5 whys to determine the purpose for our activity. This is a technique that we mastered as children but learned to discount as adults. When you are examining an action ask yourself why and then question each additional answer until you get the root reason or purpose.

Intention
Intention is defined as bending our minds towards a given target or object. Once we have gained the desire to make a change then we can find our reason. Once we know why we are passionate about our goal then we can start to engage our creative minds. When we embrace our creativity then we can come up with what we need to do.

Are you ready to blast through Day 2?!

Irene Butler Hebron January 5, 1927 - February 23, 2012 We discussed how not only is God everywhere but he is with us in the moment.  Now to look at how this works itself out in our life.  Let's take a look at this exchange between Jesus and his disciples. 1 John 13:31-38 When he was gone, Jesus said, “Now is the Son of Man glorified and God is glorified in him. If God is glorified in him, God will glorify the Son in himself, and will glorify him at once.  “My children, I will be with you only a little longer. You will look for me, and just as I told the Jews, so I tell you now: Where I am going, you cannot come. “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”  Simon Peter asked him, “Lord, where are you going?” Jesus replied, “Where I am going, you cannot follow now, but you will follow later.”  Peter
