Clinician, Heal Thyself

We tend to want those high energy, emotional, "mountain top" experiences in our Christian life. But the reality is, the thing that is going to produce authentic fruits of the Spirit in our lives and enable us to make a powerful impact on the world...is getting into a routine. In this episode, Vaughn shares 3 practical components of an effective daily routine, with actionable tasks that will help you pursue your God-given potential; not just for your own gain, but for the glory of God and the good of the world.

You've heard so many gurus in the personal development and entrepreneurship space say that if we want to be successful, it's our responsibility to work hard and get results. But is that really true? When it comes to crushing our goals and achieving success in business and life, what is up to God...and what is up to us? Vaughn shares a powerful story about his dad to answer this question.

Have you ever felt lost? Do you feel lost now? If you feel disoriented and directionless, in your relationships, work, spiritual life, or your life in general, there are still specific things you can do everyday. If you do these things, you'll have peace, confidence, and a sense of purpose - until God makes your unique calling fully known.

There's a strategy the devil uses to keep us ineffective in making the most of our potential and glorifying God in everything we do. It's such an effective strategy because it feels like we're actually committed to God-honoring excellence. It also feels like we're being humble. But you know what? We're not. We're actually falling for a lie.

How do we motivate ourselves - not just to set goals and work harder, but to share the gospel and pray with more enthusiasm? Personal development "gurus" talk about creating motivation with vision and sustaining it with self-discipline. There's truth in those answers. But for the Christian, it goes deeper than that. We have to embrace the most powerful, motivating force anyone can ever discover: God's grace.
