Be delusional.
The first time I heard that phrase was from Coach Fleck, and I loved it then, but it grabbed me in a new way this spring. I heard @athielen19 say it on KFAN and then again at the Woodbury Area Prayer Breakfast. He talked about being delusional enough to believe he was good enough and to not let the odds stacked against him write his story.
That is where this hits home for me. Too often I let doubt talk me out of instant obedience. I know what God is asking me to do, but I start counting the odds, my weaknesses, and all the what-ifs. Meanwhile, God is simply asking for my attention and my yes.
Your attention sets the direction of your life. If your eyes stay locked on your limitations, you drift toward fear and regret. But when God calls you to something and you fix your focus on Him, you can be “delusional” enough to believe His promise over every doubt, every statistic, and every opinion.
Wherever God is nudging you in ministry, business, family, or calling, be delusional. Believe He can do more in and through you than the odds say is possible, as long as your attention stays on Him.
Special thanks to all of the presenters who came out today, especially two guys I covered for years: @T_morg2 & Jalen Logan-Redding.
Three of my favs slid away before we could get a photo - Greg Eslinger, Bob Stein & Peter Westerhaus. Thanks for supporting the next generation!
We’re at our 13th annual Uncommon Award dinner and this year we are honoring Cooper Kupp. Cooper is a 2 time Super Bowl champ and an amazing man as well. He’s been a great leader for the Rams & the Seahawks and a true community servant. Cooper has shown that you can be at the top of your profession and also be a great family man who lives out his faith in Jesus.
Congratulations Cooper!

I am back at the Billy Graham Training Center this week doing two conferences with my friend James Brown. We are talking to business leaders today about leading in an Uncommon way to honor the Lord. It’s always a blessing to be here and I am enjoying JB’s inspiring words.
