Chris Jones has a very unique story of how one man, his grandfather, changed the trajectory of his life.  The story might be quite different than you would think.  Chris, talks about what he learned from his grandfather on the day he passed.  This memory has changed how he ministers to this day, how he treats his family, and how views his relationship with others.  

Today we talk briefly about a book that is worth recommending.  The book is, "Not in It to Win It" by Andy Stanley.  Which is a better example of Christ's love, when we love those who we feel aren't deserving, or when we show love to those who just rub us the wrong way?  The truth of the matter is that it is important to love regardless.  How does one love those Democrats?  How does one love those Republicans?  Whatever other labels do we create to build walls between us and a person that God wants us to reach?

Here are my thoughts on this book.  I hope you will pick up a copy of your own and read it!

We all want to live a life that is full of significance.  We all want to know that our life matters and that we are doing something worthwhile.   In fact, a significant life is defined as a life that has made a positive impact on others!  Success is temporary, but significance is forever!

In this episode, Josh starts to explain the first step toward creating a life story that is full of significance.  Step 1 is to write amazing goals!  Here are the key points he discusses when it comes to creating goals for a significant life:

1. Set Goals
   1. Determine Your Priorities
   2. Success vs. Significance
   3. Temporary v. Eternal
   4. People v. Product
   5. 100 dollars v. 100 acts of kindness
   6. Purpose is pleasure v. pleasure is purpose

Over the next several sessions, Josh will break down all 5 steps to creating and living a significant life.  Here are the 5 steps and each one is important.

1. Set Goals
2. Daily Awareness
