Our guest today is Pastor Van Moody.

Van is a member of Dr. Mehmet Oz’s core team, is an associate trainer for Dr. John Maxwell’s EQUIP leadership organization and pastor at The Worship Center in Birmingham, AL.

According to Van Moody, having a strong I-factor is the cornerstone to a successful life. One question lies behind every struggle we face. And in his new book, The I-Factor: How Building A Great Relationship with Yourself is the Key to a Happy, Successful Life (November 22, Thomas Nelson), Moody challenges readers to get in tune with the core issues holding them back from the next level. 

Moody identifies the three dynamics that are essential to winning the battle in life: identity, significance and perspective. When you understand your identity, you know who you are, which sets the foundation for everything else. When you understand your significance, you see the purpose and greatness you were created for. And when you understand perspective, you can view the problems you face as stepping-stones to greatness, rather than stumbling blocks.
