That’s not a typo. Many of us are not growing spiritually.  We are not seeing evidence that God is at work in our life. Why is that?  We may read our Bible, go to church, and even pray – at times.  Still, we ask, ‘Where is God at work in my life?’

We’re wandering. Wandering through life without any clear direction because we have no clear destination.  That can change. That can change today.

Stop wandering.  Start asking, ‘What do I want God to do in my life?’ Write it down.  Talk about it with others.  Clarify what that is.  Pursue God with that goal in mind.  ’God doesn’t speak to me.’  ’Reading my Bible puts me to sleep.’  ’My prayer life is lifeless.’  That all begins to change when we identify what we want (NEED) God to do in our life.

Do you need God to teach you how to rebuild your marriage?  Ask Him and listen closely.  Do you need God to teach you how to become a spiritual leader in your place of work?  Read your Bible with that goal in mind and watch how you’ll be energized.  Do you need God to teach you how to build stronger relationships in your life?  Pray with that goal in mind and watch your prayer life come alive.

Stop wandering what God will do. Start asking, ‘What do I want God to do in my life?’  Pursue Him and keep that goal in mind and watch what happens.  You will stop wandering while others will start wondering what has happened to you.

I approach life in seasons. Sometimes the seasons of change are big like going from fall to winter.  Other times they are more subtle like spring to summer.  I seem to be going through both at the same time.

A subtle season of change. I am excited to be joining the Oklahoma City Campus team at LifeChurch.tv.  When I first arrived at LifeChurch.tv five years ago, the OKC Campus was my training ground.  It’s great to be back and able to give back.

A bigger season of change. Developing people and releasing leaders.  That’s my big focus.  Some of you have asked, ‘What will be you doing at the OKC Campus?’  Here’s what I’ll be DOing.  More than that, I will BE all about developing others to be spiritual leaders in their homes and places of business, training people who are hungry to sell out to the cause of Christ, and releasing leaders to lead and make an impact.

Here are just a few of the great people I get to hang out with every day:  @chrisdbeall – coffee slingin’ leadership yoda, @brianbruss worship leader aka David Lee Roth ‘jump’, @gina_mcclain simply amazing, @lisafeist seeeriously passionate for missions, @rodneyholt first impressions people first, @carikelley missionary to zworld, @toniquinton leader of an army, @sooners71 a man with a cause.  And, many more I hope to introduce to you.

It’s a new season.  What season are you in?
