Four Things That Will Change Your Life
What if the areas of our lives that feel most stuck are not waiting on God to move, but waiting on us to become intentional? Drawing on Paul's call in Romans 12 to be transformed by the renewing of the mind, we are challenged to see that transformation is not something that simply happens to us. It is something we participate in. God changes us, but we must cooperate. The message frames this cooperation around four memorable principles: suit up, shut up, show up, and slow up. Each one represents a deliberate, daily choice to invite God into the areas of our lives we most want to see changed. Whether it is a struggling marriage, a distant relationship with our kids, a dry spiritual life, or a pattern of anxiety and complaint, the honest question being asked of us is not why God has not fixed it, but which of these four practices we have been neglecting. This is a message about the gap between wanting change and actually pursuing it, and it calls us to close that gap with courage and consistency.
