There is something about losing almost everything and completely releasing a dream that allows you to come back to it with the empowerment of choice rather than neediness. Neediness is never a good energy in which to be.

The biggest lesson I learned from compounding losses was that nothing is ever lost. Matter/energy is neither created nor destroyed. It simply changes forms. What leaves your life re-enters in a different form, perhaps scattered throughout dozens of people, places or things.

When I fully grasped that I had everything I needed in this moment, I knew I’d have everything I’d need in the next, and the next and the next. I finally … FINALLY trusted God. As long as I stay in that place of observant gratitude (seeing everything in this moment), I no longer operate from “neediness” but from contented trust.

With that kind of trust, miracles can happen. And they do.

How the Challenge Works

Step 1: Ask God each day, “What is one thing I can do to light the world and build the kingdom today?”

Step 2: ACT upon whatever He leads you to do. Go through the day EXPECTING for opportunities to arise.

Step 3: Document somewhere — in your private journal or on your favorite social media platform.

Step 4: Share! If you share publicly, please use our hash tags: #BuildTheKingdom and #LightTheWorldNow so I can cheer you on! If you’re going to be documenting privately, I recommend sharing your experience with a close friend or accountability partner. There is power in the sharing.
