Mission: Mindset Week 1
Hey fam! Welcome to Mission: Mindset, week number one.
I developed this content series because I truly believe we all have a mission, which is the basis of my newest book coming out in March, Mission Possible! Whether you realize it or not, you are uniquely created for a specific purpose. You’re not just here by happenstance or by accident. No. You are fearfully and wonderfully made, an image-bearer of God, and are called to something great...something greater than yourself!
I believe God has a plan and purpose for your life, and I believe that purpose is also your mission. I love the word mission: a task or job that someone is given to do. What’s interesting about our English word ‘mission’ is that it comes from a 16th century Latin word meaning ‘to send.’ See, I also believe God has sent us here for a reason. In Matthew 22:37-39, Jesus pretty clearly lays out our job - what we were sent here to do: to love Him and love others. This is our greatest purpose.
But more specifically, you have an individual mission in life as well. The mission can be different for each person or sometimes the mission can be shared. Maybe you don’t know what your mission is yet or have lost sight of it. That’s ok. Each week, my goal is to come alongside you and help redefine the way you think.
I don’t necessarily know what your unique purpose is, but I do know that everything we do starts between the ears, in our head, with our thoughts. To be successful on your mission, you've got to have the right mindset. So I've come up with an acronym for M.I.N.D.S.E.T. - a set of attitudes that I will share to help you start, grow, and sustain a Mission Possible Life.
As we dive in, my prayer is that week after week I can provide nuggets of truth we all can use on a daily basis to move us closer to accomplishing our mission. So buckle up. My mission right now...is your mindset.
And it begins by knowing your (M)aker...
Go create a life that counts,
