Do not wander from the love of God. Always remember that you are a precious treasure–priceless and deeply beloved.

Slow down. Create space. A life without margin is a life without depth. True discipleship happens in the stillness, not the rush.

What if God's path forward for you is not to make you stronger but to make you weaker so that His power may flow through you more freely? Weakness is not a hindrance to God’s work but a requirement for it.

[Pete Scazzero @petescazzero]

The quality of the people who surround you will determine, to a significant degree, the level of success in your leadership. Because there is undeniable loneliness and challenges in leadership, it is critical we get our key relationships right.

[Pete Scazzero @petescazzero]

Why? It would have pulled him away from a life of prayer and into a life of public ministry outside of God’s timing. 

We too need to be careful and discerning around God’s timing.

[Pete Scazzero @petescazzero]

Each of us has to discern from God our rhythms between being out in the world with people (the outer life) and our hidden life w/ God (the inner life). Anthony the Great, in the 4th century, declined the invitation to go and minister to the king.

[Pete Scazzero @petescazzero]

One of the greatest challenges facing every Christian (especially us leaders!) is how to engage social media and public ministry without crossing the line into sin and self-promotion apart from God.

[Pete Scazzero @petescazzero]

We’re facing challenges greater than any other in our lifetime. These require a radical decision from each of us to invest deeply in positioning ourselves so that Jesus can profoundly transform the core of our being. Why? So we can say as Paul, “Imitate me as I imitate Christ.”

[Pete Scazzero @petescazzero]

Your being with God (or lack of being with God) will trump, eventually, your doing for God every time.

[Pete Scazzero @petescazzero]

Practicing “being” before “doing” means you are operating from a place of emotional and spiritual fullness, deeply aware of yourself and others. As a result, your being with God is sufficient to sustain you doing for God.

[Pete Scazzero @petescazzero]

Without a deep theological and practical understanding of limits, we severely compromise our ability to love God, ourselves, and others over the long haul.

[Pete Scazzero @petescazzero]

God’s means of working is not by making us stronger, but by making us weaker and weaker until his power is clearly manifested in our lives.

What if your greatest weakness is actually your greatest strength? That is how God sees it!

[Pete Scazzero @petescazzero]

He loves us enough to not allow us to remain where we are but longs to give us a revelation of Him (and ourselves) that will anchor us into a deeper trust in His work and His ways.

[Pete Scazzero @petescazzero]

At some point in our lives, we may experience storms in the form of crises, deep holes, or other impossible situations. The truth about these storms is that they’re sent by God, or at least allowed by him. Why?
