      FOREWORD

      My Life Word? Potential.

      In a sentence, my life purpose is to help others maximize their God-given potential. That's true whether I'm pastoring, parenting, or writing. I believe in dreaming big, praying hard, and thinking long. I believe that obstacles are opportunities to stretch our faith and grow stronger. I believe in praying like it depends on God and working like it depends on us. And I believe that God is ordering our footsteps and preparing good works in advance. In other words, I live my life with a profound sense of destiny. And you can, too! This book will help!

      A few years ago, I started an annual tradition of choosing a word for the year after reading One Word That Will Change Your Life by Jon Gordon, Dan Britton, and Jimmy Page. It was a game changer for me. Life Word takes that revolutionary idea to the next level. What Jon, Dan, and Jimmy have discovered and share with you in this book is a simple, powerful, and life-changing idea that really works.

      When you discover your Life Word– that one word that defines you and drives you to be your best and make a difference in this world – you'll live with more clarity and confidence than ever before. And as you trust God to do the impossible in your life, you'll take powerful steps toward living your destiny and leaving a legacy that truly matters.

      I don't want to waste a single day. I want to wake up in the morning and live with a sense of passion as I pursue God's biggest dreams for my life. I refuse to be derailed by doubt or frustrated by fear. And so should you!

      Don't just read this book. Dig into it. And when you discover your Life Word, don't look back! It won't just change you; I believe you'll change the world because of it.
