Who Are You?


Unlocking your one “must do” for God is better than finding the National Treasure. Only then can you unleash your vision for ministry with white-water force. - Will Mancini


Knowing who we are is the important first step in unlocking our "must do" in life. It's part of the God-design -- our wiring, our personality, our passion, and our purpose are all linked to "who" we are.


You don't have to take my word -- it's in the Word, John 13. Jesus knowing that He had all things under his authority, knowing He had come from God and was returning to God -- humbled himself and washed the feet of others (served). Knowing who He was, his passion, his purpose, his destiny -- he unlocked the one "must do" the cross, that which only He could do. He must serve all mankind as the sacrificial Lamb and he did it with white-water force, with passion, with resolute resolve; being secure in who he was He fulfilled the mission completely.


Henry Ford said that basic human problem is trying to do too many things at once. Jesus said, "I have come to fulfill the will of the Father" -- translation my purpose, my created destiny; the same is true for us -- we must know who we are to fulfill our destiny.


Embracing the journey, pursuing the dream.
