One of the greatest things we can live for is the glory of God. Have you ever heard anyone talk about this before? Louie Giglio is the Pastor of Passion City Church in Atlanta, Georgia, and the founder of Passion Conferences, which is one of the largest gatherings of college students and young adults in the world. His mantra for decades has been from Isaiah 26:8, "Yes, Lord, walking in the way of your laws, we wait for you; your name and renown are the desire of our hearts." He is calling for a 268 generation. There is something about this heart that yearns for the glory of God. I believe it was we were all created for -- to know God and to make Him known. To live for His glory, and to enjoy Him forever. All other pursuits miss their ultimate purpose without this. I still remember hearing about one of the old Passion gatherings in a field twenty years ago when I was a student in my college dorm. It impacted me profoundly back then, and Louie shares some of those personal stories about that meeting. So buckle up, because God showed up in our conversation today!

Are you a more negative person or positive person? Becoming a more positive person is a choice all of us can make, that can greatly benefit our lives and relationships. I am so honored today to sit down with bestselling author, and positivity advocate Jon Gordon. I was amazed to hear Jon's story of faith, and also that he has struggled with negativity his whole life. In his thirties it had caused major problems in his marriage and his wife was going to leave him unless he changed. This is such a powerful conversation, and also so needed in our world right now with everything that has been going on.
