Aren't interesting friends the best? You know, the people that show up and life is suddenly more exciting? These people have something different that draws people in—and it's not by being the smartest or loudest.
How often do you think, “I’m just too busy”? The idea of giving more time to relationships probably seems like the most draining thing to do. That's actually not the case. In fact, it’s the opposite.
The people closest to us have the biggest impact on our success. We all want friends, but good friendships don’t happen without intentionality. Brian Tome gives us a template for adding the right people in our life and yanking the wrong people out. And, how to get the most out of our friendships.
Easter is the ultimate story of the impossible made possible. And here’s the truth: Ridiculous ideas are achievable. You CAN cross the finish line on the thing you didn’t think was possible. Go all out on dreams and visions—the impossible can become possible no matter the circumstance.
So that’s it, then. We’re broken people in a jacked up world. What now? Good news—the life of Jesus means that our brokenness isn’t the end of the story. God is in the business of redeeming broken things and bringing them back to life—and that is something worth celebrating.
We hide it. We don’t want to admit it. We do everything we can to cover it up, yet deep down inside we all know the truth: we’re broken. Selfishness runs rampant, greed poisons our relationships, and in a million other ways, we fall short of the people we were created to be. Yet in the midst of our brokenness, God wants to meet us—to offer hope that comes from His power, not our effort.
Who are we? These days, it’s easy to believe that we are essentially nothing; that we are little more than our biology, the products we consume, or the work we produce. Yet the Bible tells a different story—that God created mankind in his image. Created us to resemble him, to carry his authority and power, to care for the world that he created.
We want success, and we want it now. Yet in reality, every achievement comes in the midst of discomfort. A meaningful relationship, real financial margin, or true connection with God—all of them happen when we’re willing to endure difficulty.
Our culture is chock full of two lies. One says “You should be better.” The other lie is the response, “You’re fine just the way you are, no need to change.” Deep down, we know both are wrong. Yet in the midst of this, God offers a third way—he offers change that leads to life.
