Last weekend we began our new summer series “Chase the Lion.” As part of this series I invite you to make a habit of reading the Lion Chaser Manifesto once a day throughout the series. As you do, I would love to hear how God is using it to increase your level of faith and courage.

Lion Chaser Manifesto

Quit living as if the purpose of life is to arrive safely at death.
Set God-sized Goals.
Pursue God-ordained passions.
Go after a dream that is destined to fail unless God intervenes.
Keep asking questions. Keep making mistakes. Keep seeking God.

Stop pointing out problems and become part of the solution.
Stop repeating the past and start creating the future.
Stop playing it safe and start taking risks.

Expand your horizons. Accumulate experiences. Enjoy the journey.
Find every excuse you can to celebrate everything you can.
Live like today is the first day and the last day of your life.
Don’t let what’s wrong with you keep you from worshipping what’s right with God.

Burn sinful bridges. Blaze new trails. Criticize by creating.
Worry less about what people think and more about what God thinks.
Don’t try to be who you’re not. Be yourself. Laugh at yourself.

Quit holding out. Quit holding back. Quit running away.

CHASE THE LION.
