In today's episode, we are talking about initiative. Initiative is one of the most powerful and useful tools in a person's toolbelt because it causes real, live-time change to be made in our world. Initiative is active when we offer to help someone carry their grocery bags. It is also active when we have an idea for a new business or product that will make life simpler and we take steps to create it.  It is active when starting a new art project or seeking a new job that will bring you more joy.

Not everyone has a lot of natural initiative. Some people have to work hard to improve it, but in this episode I would like to show you that everyone should strive for initiative. Why is that? Because God loves initiative. How do I know? Because He proved it in the first words of the Bible: "In the Beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." Genesis 1:1

God has given us the unique ability and power to assess our world and make changes if we see that something is broken or not working well. He has given us specific talents that we are supposed to use for His glory, and if we don't use them, we are denying Him the glory he deserves.

This episode provides encouragement to those who do not have a lot of initiative, and cautionary advice for those who may have too much. I hope that by the end of the episode, you are inspired to go and make something of the talents God has given you!
