Catalyst 2013: Jon Acuff


Jon is a very humorous engaging communicator who has a lot of positive things to say.  He joined the Dave Ramsey team a while back and now is a New York Times Best Selling author.  Here are some notes from his talk:

What do you do when you run out of excuses to NOT chase your dream? ... Most of the time we stop and ask...how did i get here?

Life is no longer defined by when you were born, but when you decide to live.  This has changed for 3 reason...1) Retirement is dead.  2) Anyone can play the game (age is no longer an issue) 3) Hope is Boss.

Tradition thought that challenged this required generations to act a certain way, but with the growing gap and leadership vacuum impending, Jon suggests that anyone can play.

Life is NOT about being ready.  The only line in your life you can control is the starting line.

"You don't have to be ready, because God is always ready."

God doesn't need your platform and he is not handcuffed by your failures.  He is GOD!

Jon's latest book 'Start' hit the best sellers list while we were at Catalyst.  You can buy his book here:
