Words have power. How can one word change the trajectory of your life? Listen as Susie is joined by Jimmy Page, Vice President of Field Ministry and the National Director of the Health & Fitness ministry for the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. We talk about choosing a word to center your faith journey.

Why is it helpful to choose one word? How can we know if it’s a genuine leading from God? Jimmy explains. “A legitimate ‘God word’ is one that stirs you in your heart and mind. ”

Here are some of the words Jimmy and Susie unpack:

More
Most would hear this word and think it translates into doing more, learning more, praying more. But Jimmy says it’s about giving more of yourself to God, and recognizing that He is more valuable, more beautiful, and more glorious than we realize. We can trust Him with everything we have because He owns it all.

Be

Follow

“When you’re following Christ there is tremendous confidence, tremendous peace – because that means He’s going before you. Because of it, you can walk in assurance… no matter what you encounter, you’re going to sense that God has walked before you.”

Perseverance

Prepare

How can you keep your word in front of you? Jimmy shares a few ideas:

• Paint your word on a 9×12 canvas.

• Let your close friends know your word, and have them hold you accountable.

• Write it on a note card and post it on the dashboard of your car, your bathroom mirror, or the inside of your wallet.

• Talk about it with your family.

Jimmy’s book, coauthored with Dan Britton and Jon Gordon, is One Word That Will Change Your Life.
