As I’m writing the next block of content for my first book, I’m really being pushed to define my focus more clearly. The book is all about audacious faith. It’s easy for me to share my story of audacious faith. It’s easy for me to make applications to other church leaders about how to have audacious faith.

It’s much harder to relate the concept of audacious faith to people who may not see their life’s work in a very audacious light.

For instance, how can you be an audacious school teacher?
An audacious parent?
An audacious hourly employee?
An audacious student?
An audacious wife?

Here’s a helpful angle I’m starting to explore:
Sometimes audacious faith is defined by the nature of the activity.
Being a missionary in a third world country requires audacious faith. Audacity kind of comes with the package.

Other times, audacious faith is activated by your approach and attitude.
In other words, it’s possible to approach a simple or ordinary activity with an audacious attitude, and glorify God in a remarkable way.

I’m still unpacking all of the implications (ie, you’ll have to buy the book), but here’s what I’ve got so far:
Sometimes, audacious faith is all about what you do.
Other times, it’s all about how you do it.

If the thing you’re doing doesn’t seem very audacious, activate your faith with an audacious approach.
