Be inspired and empowered to start living a life that God has intended for you…

IMG_1301

A dream of mine has been to bring the Tri-Sate together for a night of fellowship and celebration! My hope is this +1 Spring Celebration will be the first night of many more to come at the Henderson Fine Arts Center. We want those in church, out of church, searching for a church, and people that are not even sure about church to come join us.

If God has ever caused you to wonder if you were created for so much more, then give us this opportunity to show you that He has! We want you to leave inspired and empowered to start living a life that God has intended for you. Bring your friends, bring your family, and bring an open heart because I am going to speak to you with all that I have in mine!

Go ON Purpose!

Just when you think “they” aren’t listening…

My prayer is that we will be intentional about how we live this life of faith, so that, we can Live ON Purpose and bring some+one closer to God daily……+1

I was sent this picture after the +1 Christmas event from a friend of ours Shanon Greenwell. She had thought that her 13 year-old son Garrett wasn’t listening to my message. But to her surprise his drawings show that he was. He listened enough to know that the power and message of Christmas is about the three gifts that God gave us in the birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus.

For our children to be able to embrace and learn about God’s power, we need to be discussing sermons, songs, and how we see God working in our lives daily. We as parents and adults need to make it a priority to read His Word, pray, and dedicate our lives to glorifying God. When our children and peers see that being followers of Christ is a daily calling not just a Sunday activity, they will be willing to discuss their faith and apply spiritual disciplines to their lives.

We should never forget our children and peers are watching and listening to what we do and what we say. My prayer is we will be intentional about how we live this life of faith, so we can Live ON Purpose and bring some+one closer to God daily……+1

+1 Movement Night at Webster Co. HS

It’s not impossible because it’s what we are created to do ON Purpose!

We had a great turnout even though the afternoon was filled with thunderstorms and tornadoes. It was great to see many from Webster, Union , and Henderson Co. Great music by Redeem ‘D on the WCHS basketball court. The same court I spent countless hours as a high school student-athlete trying to develop my game.

I am now trying daily to develop into who God has created me to be as a follower of His. I expressed to the crowd that until we come to realize that our priority in all things is to bring God glory, then we will always be searching for something more in this life.

So commit to His guidance, be intentional, love people where they are, read the Word, pray, and don’t let the world tell you that all of this is impossible. It’s not impossible because it’s what we are created to do ON Purpose!!

+1 Encounter….

Sometimes we think we are going to help change some+one’s life and they end up changing ours…

IMG_8600

As we go through life God allows us the privilege to have many relationships. In my life, I have been blessed to have many because of sports, business, church, and growing up in rural America. Almost three years ago I encountered some+one that I met with over lunch to “help”. My arrogance got the best of me because that some+one “helped” me. That some+one was Todd Satterfield.

From our first discussion about discipline, yes I remember the very first thing that we discussed at Applebee’s. We both agreed that people want and need discipline. We both agreed that we are not the busiest generation but the most distracted and undisciplined generation. By focusing in on removing these distractions, we then allow ourselves to be what God created us to be: compassionate, loving, giving, and obedient.

What I learned from our first conversation and the hundreds that followed was that our +1 encounters are as much for us as they are for the some+one that we are trying to “help”. I learned that the world will tell us that we can’t possibly Live ON Purpose! daily, but I believe that with God’s help we can.

So I am thankful that our paths crossed that day. I am thankful that I saw the epitome of dignity, character, loyalty, and commitment to the Lord to his last breath as he battled cancer. Some have questioned what is this celebration of a person’s life all about in such a tragedy. To that I say the celebration is that Todd Satterfield’s life IN Christ touched thousands and all we are trying to do is touch +1 daily.

Two months ago today about this time he left us physically, but I can promise you his legacy lives on through those of us he touched daily. His legacy lives because he got “it”: There is a testimony in the faith that you live with, but more importantly the faith that you die with…Eternity ON Purpose!

Miss my friend…ON Purpose!

Everyday whether we like it or not is a part of our legacy….

IMG_8410

Everyday whether we like it or not is a part of our legacy. We have to decide if we have the courage to embrace each day with a purpose. DO WE HAVE THE COURAGE TO: embrace each day to be obedient to His plans more than our agenda? To act and react like we know we should? To truly ‘love our neighbor as ourself’? Even if that neighbor doesn’t think like us from a spiritual, political, or social perspective? To listen instead of talk? To pray instead of worry? To embrace our responsibilities with great expectations? To experience the pain of discipline so we won’t experience the pain of regret?

Most importantly, will we whether it’s convenient or not–love the Lord with EVERYTHING to our core?(Matthew 22:36-38)

Sounds tough but I hope you want to be known as a “giver” to this life and not just a “taker”. The line to “take” is long, but the the line to “give” is waiting on us daily…Live ON Purpose!

Great time talking about Living ON Purpose! with the Oklahoma Men’s Basketball Team….

OSU

My time spent with the Oklahoma St. Men’s Basketball team was one to remember. Being able to share with them that to Live ON Purpose! they have to remember daily that they are created with a purpose by their Creator and they need to start living like it. As they embrace this intentional living, they have expectations and responsibilities much like this year’s 2013-14 team. To run from these expectations and responsibilities would be settling for mediocrity, and I know that this is not their mindset and it should not be ours either. They are building their legacy and so are we…Live ON Purpose!

The first +1 Movement™ Night

We had a huge turnout at our very 1st +1 Movement Night, which took place at One Life in Henderson, KY. Over 300 people showed up to hear more about the movement and how they can get involved!

photo_plus_one_movement_night_1

Joey Davenport delivered an inspirational message, in which he casted the vision for Live ON Purpose! and the +1 Movement. He talked about the 3 G’s of the movement:

  • Gather — Interest. Wonder. People.
  • Give — Passion. Desire. Willingness. Commitment.
  • Go — Following Jesus. Taking action by becoming ambassadors for Christ, and standing in the place of the ONE that sent you! 

While this event took place in a local church, Davenport challenged the crowd to be the church everyday.

Many were moved and inspired to join the movement, and they ended the night in unison, worshipping God together.

The movement has begun. The +1 mentality is catching on! Check out the movement map and track the growth of this movement in the U.S. and across the world!
