Gifts, skills, prophetic words and dreams, vision for our future and the 'what if's' of our younger years - all of these feed into what 'our potential' is.

A vital question we need to ask ourselves as we pursue our God given calling is "Is God looking for me to reach and achieve my potential...or are there other things that matter more to Him than how high, big, far and wide I might be able to go?".

This episode is about the hidden motivation that often is driving us forward. What we do with our thoughts about our abilities, our dreams, the prophetic words or dreams God has given us, all of it, is fundamentally important. If we can hold them rightly in tension with the things that matter most to God then they will drive us passionately and safely forward.

If we hold them in an unhealthy place of priority in our hearts then we risk running our ship aground.

So what matters most to God? What matters more to God than us reaching our potential?

This episode is dedicated to Joanie Barth.
