How to Unleash Your Authentic Voice
Creators have the power (and call) to bring life to dry places

At 4:47 am this morning, I had a revelation.
As a creator, you are like a river.
When you allow your experience, knowledge, and wisdom to flow, lives change.
The worst thing you can do is dam yourself up.
So flow.
Be generous with your wisdom.
Share your story by drawing out its deep meaning.
Peoples' spirits and minds are thirsty for good water.
Be a life stream.
Our world needs your voice of life more than ever.
The Creator's Purpose
In John 7:37, Jesus said:
"All you thirsty ones, come to me! Come to me and drink! Believe in me so that rivers of living water will burst out from within you, flowing from your innermost being, just like the Scripture says!"
Our purpose is to:
Be connected to our source of life
Constantly share this life
Help people flourish
We must be willing to be misunderstood.
To break the dams of fear and self-doubt.
Water is an unstoppable force—unless it is dammed up.
The only person who can keep your wisdom from flowing...
...is you!
Today, resolve to:
Break the dams holding you back
Be relentless in your mission to encourage, equip, and enlighten
Embrace the audacity that your story can change the world
Here's how 👇
The 4 Narrative Rivers to Unleash Your Authentic Voice
To unleash your authentic, life-giving voice, deeply answer these five questions. The first four inform your authentic voice, or unique value you offer the world. The fifth defines it.
→ Origin Story: Who am I?
→ Values: What do I stand for?
→ Purpose: Why am I here?
→ Mission: Who am I uniquely called to help and how?
→ Voice: How can my authentic voice help others thrive?
Understand your four narrative rivers to understand and unleash your authentic voice.
This is your place of unique value.
This your hard-won wisdom.
Too often we dam ourselves up by thinking, "Do I really have anything new to say?"
But the truth is, no one has your story.
It is your competitive advantage to help others.
And the basis of your platform to build, gather, and lead a movement of change.
Make a commitment to bring good water every day for the rest of your life.
Your message is your mission.
Let's change the world :)
