Lately I’ve been analyzing some of the major Biblical characters who didn’t reach their full potential in God. My goal is to identify the factors that limited them from maxing out in their giftedness and calling.
So far I’ve noted 3 major categories. I’m sure there are more, or at least narrower classifications… but this is a fine framework for me.

1. Blatant sin/disobedience (the kind that disqualifies)
2. Unbelief (wavering at the promise of God)
3. Distraction (a divided heart)

I want more than anything to pour out every last drop of potential God has poured into me. By the grace of God, I am determined to come as close to reaching my full potential as a country boy from Moncks Corner, South Carolina possibly can.
