8 Steps on How To Look Back At Your Life And Say, ‘Holy Crap! I kicked ass!’

(thread)
1. List 4 things you ABSOLUTELY have to do before you die. It doesn’t have to be extreme. Jump out of an airplane? Kayak down the Colorado River? Get a tattoo?
2. If you could do only one, which would it be? Personally, I’d go big. I’d go with the one that scares the crap out of me. Base jumping / swim with sharks = Pretty damn scary.
3. Put it on the calendar. Don’t think too much about it. Do you want to live an epic life or not? When I jumped out of an airplane, I didn’t think of the actual jump until I was falling 120 miles an hour.
4. Work out the basic details. Who are you going with? A group of friends? Your dad? Alone? How much will it cost? Iron the rest of that shit out later. I PROMISE you, the rest will work itself out.
5. Put some real money down, preferably non-refundable. Quit jacking around. Put your money where your mouth is. If it doesn’t cost anything, tell someone you’ll pay them $500 if you don’t do it.
6. Make sure your life insurance is current. Now’s a good time to make sure it’s up to date. ALSO, if you don’t have a will, write one out and get it notarized.
7. Jump! This is your first step towards living the hell out of your life. This is the fun part. This is where your heart races. Soak it in. *** Warning – Adventure is ADDICTING.
8. As soon as it’s over, review your list. You’re probably still high. Your heart is still racing. Add to your list or maybe completely rewrite it. And then go directly to step 2.

The prodigal son didn’t come home because he missed his father.

He came home because he was starving.
He wasn’t repentant.
He was desperate.

Here’s what most people miss:
🧵
Jesus says, “he came to himself.”

Not: he was overcome with guilt.
Not: he remembered his father’s love.

He realized even his father’s servants had food.

This wasn’t a sentimental return.
It was survival.

Rock bottom logic.
So he rehearses a speech.

“I’m no longer worthy to be called your son.
Make me like one of your hired servants.”

He still doesn’t get it.

He thinks he has to earn his way back in.
He thinks he has to work to be loved.

Sound familiar?

You begged God to fix it.
He didn’t.

Now what?

You lost your job.
A loved one died.
Life fell apart.

And then someone says something that makes it worse...

🧵 ⤵️
“Don’t worry, all things work together for good!”

But what if "good" doesn’t mean what you think?

Let’s take a hard look at what Paul actually meant in Romans 8:28 👇🏽
This verse isn't for everyone. People quote it like a universal promise.

But read the whole verse:

"And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose." (Romans 8:28)

I've been a Bible Missionary for over a decade.

Here are 12 controversial truths about religion you won't like–but need to hear:
God doesn’t owe you a good life.

He gave you a crucified Son.
If that’s not enough—you don’t understand grace.
God isn’t impressed by your religion.

Not your titles.
Not your checklists.
Not your performance.

He’s after a surrendered heart.

“Faith without works is dead.” (James 2:26)

Most people don’t even know what that verse means.
And the worst part? They’re spreading a lie without realizing it.
James doesn’t mess around.

He says:
If your faith doesn’t produce anything, it’s dead.

Not weak.
Not struggling.

Dead. Image
People love to say, “We’re saved by faith alone!”

And they’re right.
Faith alone saves.

But the kind of faith that saves?
It never stays alone.

Real faith moves. Acts. Obeys.

Not to earn God’s love—but because you already have it.

The most terrifying verse in the Bible: “Depart from me, I never knew you.” (Matthew 7:23)

You expect to hear, “Well done.” Instead, Jesus says, “Depart from me.”

He’s not talking to atheists or criminals—but to people who thought they were saved.

Let’s dig deeper 👇🏽
They said they were Christians:

"Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, cast out demons, and do mighty works?" (Matthew 7:22)

They called Him Lord.
They performed miracles.

And Jesus still says, “I never knew you.” (Matthew 7:23)
They did the right things FOR Jesus but didn’t KNOW Jesus.

Jesus didn’t say, “Try harder.”
He didn’t say, “Do more.”
He said, “I never knew you.”

The issue wasn’t their works—it was their relationship.

Psalm 23 is one of the most misunderstood chapters in the Bible.

I’ve spent 12 years as a missionary and Bible teacher, and I’ve seen it over and over again.

It’s not just about comfort—it’s about war.
It’s not a warm blanket—it’s a battle cry.

Here’s what most people miss:
“The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.”

Most people don’t want a shepherd.

A shepherd controls the sheep.
Leads them where they don’t want to go.
Corrects them when they wander.

You don’t get to be your own boss if the Lord is your Shepherd.
“I shall not want”? That’s insane.

We always want something. A better job, a better house, a better life.

But David is saying, If God is my Shepherd, I lack nothing.

No complaints.
No envy.
No restlessness.

Just contentment.

How many of us can actually say that?
