What's Bothering You?
Happy Monday Leader!
It's time to start thinking about your 2026 Goals. What is God stirring in you?
If you want to live a big life—one that actually makes a difference—don’t start with your dream.
Start with what bothers you.
That’s right. The beginning of a God-given dream is often something that feels negative.
It’s that ache in your gut when you see something in the world that isn’t right.
It’s when you say, “This isn’t how it should be.”
That’s what spiritual leaders call holy discontent—the gap between how things are and how they could be.
Now, there’s danger in that gap.
If you stay there too long, you can get discouraged or frustrated.
You can forget the gain—what God’s already done—and focus only on the gap.
But if you learn to live in the tension between the two, something powerful happens.
That discomfort becomes fuel.
It agitates you to action.
It moves you from wishing to working.
Because when you can describe what’s broken—and imagine what it would look like restored—
you’ve got the raw material for a God-sized dream.
So this week, take ten minutes and ask yourself:
- What bothers me the most?
- Why does it bother me?
- What would it look like if that changed?
Don’t ignore the ache.
Let it simmer.
Because sometimes, the thing that bothers you most is the very thing God made you to fix.
Let it move you.
Let it define your dream.
Then get to work.
You’ve got this.
