Change Manifesto

"Change, when it comes, cracks everything open."
Dorothy Allison

Henry David Thoreau said, “The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation.”
He was talking about the search for change, and the sad truth that most people have simply given up on the possibility.
Gandhi said, “You must be the change you wish to see in the world.”

I believe that everyday, people settle for dead-end jobs, lower lifestyles, less money, and destructive relationships, all because it’s easier to ignore changes that could transform their circumstances and change their future.

The fact is, change is hard. It’s difficult to do well, and it’s even harder to develop a lifestyle of change. That’s why I’ve dedicated my life to educating people through writing and oral teachings. Change is here, and change is happening whether we like it or not.

Andy Warhol said, “They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.” This isn’t small, because I’m talking about making changes in your life that will help you discover truth.

This blog is about that kind of change - especially at the intersection of church, faith, and culture. The rules are being transformed, and we need to understand the revolution.
What fuels your passion?
I believe we all have a purpose. But if we’re ever going to discover true reality of that purpose, we need to understand change, and how to achieve long-lasting, revolutionary transformation in every area of our lives. Because if we can change ourselves, we can change the world.
