I can’t remember a more profound, startling, and meaningful talk than this message from my friend Tim Mackie during the @247PrayerUSA gathering a few days ago. I wish I had adequate words to encourage watching/listening to it. youtu.be/HQlH-WfmZms
In the middle of chaotic times, there was a hope we could cling to: God is actively at work in our world. Here’s what He’s done through YouVersion in 2021… bit.ly/3ogvHaF
Blown away by what we’ve seen God do. Thankful for countless partners who’ve made YouVersion what it is. And for the best team on earth who literally makes it & supports it & expands it & localizes it & enriches it. We really believe that we’re just getting started. 1 billion 👀
YouVersion is nearing 500 million installs! 🎉 As we count up to half a billion, let’s celebrate how the Bible is alive. Get the celebration started by watching this special video, featuring people whose lives have been changed by God’s Word: youtu.be/DgtBzrj3YLw
YouVersion Bible app became one of the first free apps in the iTunes Store and 83,000 people downloaded it in the first three days. This iPhone is the first phone to download the @YouVersion Bible app. See this iPhone in the museum. #EurekaMW #discovery #inventions
On the heels of his amazing goal, this is a great article spotlighting how Alisson Becker uses @YouVersion to grow in and share his faith.

He was a truly remarkable player who went on to win the Heisman Trophy in 1994 at Colorado after rushing for 2,055 yards. I remember a…

For most of my adult life, I’ve listened to sermons outside of church to supplement Sunday sermons. Along these lines, my 3 favorite preachers to listen to who are all truly gifted are: The late Tim Keller (@timkellernyc) of Redeemer in NYC Adam Mabry (@adammabry) of Aletheia…
I’ve come to appreciate over time that social skill and relational skill are different things. It’s common in my industry to find people who are socially strong but relationally weaker. You will also find less commonly people who are relationally strong but socially weaker.…
Today was out of this world! 🪐🚀 On Sunday I’m celebrating 10 years at @lifechurch and today my team threw an over-the-top, all-day extravaganza. We went to all my favorites places and ate way too much. So thankful I get to spend each day with this crew! 👩🏻🚀🪩🛸 #tenfinity
For that reason, when facing a complex decision, I actually take greater comfort in groups that are not unanimous than those that are because the lack of unanimity often equates to a more holistic and thorough discussion having taken place in the decision making process.

There aren’t really individual successes. Behind every individual success is a community that helped make that success possible. When trying to replicate an individual’s success, it may be just as or more valuable to study that individual’s community than to study the individual.
Being out the country it’s easier to see how we Americans tie our faith and politics together too tightly. I’ve been guilty of this myself. We care far too much about the Empire and far too less about the Kingdom.
In hiring, I overweight intangible qualities vs tangible skills since the latter is more easily taught than the former. I also value exceptionality in unrelated fields more than ok performance in related fields since expecting exceptionality of oneself is an important intangible.
Among the most undervalued entrepreneurs in the market are those that can’t speak the language of investors well, even if they can speak the language of customers well. I’ll take delighted customers and a bad pitch over lukewarm customers and a great pitch all day, every day.
11 Years 👰🏽♀️🤵🏻 Happy anniversary BKet! It’s been a crazy adventure so far and I know there’s more fun times ahead. I can’t wait to see where the next 11 years take us. XoXo❤️
Without exaggeration, for each of the best investments in my career, the market experts we consulted in diligence were quite negative on investing. Luckily, I ignored their feedback. Their perspectives were thoughtful and wise, but divorced from the knowledge of real customers…
The feedback of real customers and prospects is much more valuable than that of distant “experts”. Ironically, someone called me today asking for my “expert” opinion on a company. I’m no expert - the customer is the expert. Truly, your time is much better spent with them than me.

He is risen indeed. Grateful and encouraged to celebrate Easter today with so many others around the world.
The Christian faith hinges on the truth of Christ’s resurrection on Easter. If today didn’t happen per the Biblical account, there is no reason to be a Christian. If it did, that changes everything. Arguably, no other day in human history is more worthy of serious investigation…
Nobody gets out unbloodied. Cling to your Healer. Know when you need stitching up. Don’t crave what will kill your character. If God entrusts you with a crowd, refuse to play to it. That’s what sucks a once-faithful servant into the crazy-making quicksand of celebrity syndrome.
It’s idolatry. Don’t clamor for big numbers. And don’t kid yourself that bigger is better for the sake of the gospel. That’s bull. We do the lifting up of Jesus. God does the drawing. Just serve as faithfully as you know how. Repent regularly. Ride the waves & long for the shore.
