Maybe it’s just me, but I’m shocked to see how many people carry $50-$100 in cash in their wallets. Just so I know if I’m weird or not, humor me and let me know how much you typically have on you. (Totally secret, no way for me to know who said what.)

This question has been on my mind a lot lately.
Here’s what I know: When people are inspired emotionally they take action physically.
Conversely, when I see people mired in inaction– I know that they are deeply uninspired.
Inspired people are an unstoppable force. Uninspired look for excuses.
Here are some things that inspire me:
What are things that inspire you to action? What causes you to dream big dreams, big enough to go for them?

The LORD had said to Abram, “Leave your country, your people and your father’s household and go to the land I will show you. Genesis 12:1
Can you imagine? 75 years old you hear from God loud and clear– leave, start a new life, leave everything behind.
Abram’s entire life was judged based on this one decision! Would his life be defined by faith or by fear?
The first thing that comes to my mind as I try to put myself in Abram’s shoes is fear:
Yesterday, I was doing a little check-in on Tash’s morning radio show in Auckland. (You know, I’m huge there! Well… er, probably not.) And she asked me the one question I don’t have an answer for right now, “So Adam, what is going to change as a result of your trip to do relief work in Haiti?”
It is the question I’m afraid of. I don’t really have an answer for that yet.
If I tally the faith I exhibit in my life I see a difference in the reconciliation. Fear is winning over faith.
As I talked to the Lord about it I kept coming back to that central question… right back to the defining moment in Tin Cup… “Will your life be a life defined by radical faith, or will it be defined by an avoidance of fear?”
What about you? What are ways you a living a life driven by faith and not fear? Teach me!
