22. We Need Study
But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts,
and always be ready to give a defense
to everyone who asks you a reason
for the hope that is in you,
with meekness and fear
(1 Pet. 3:15).
Remember: the point is not just to survive, but to help.

23. We Need Strategy
Set some real goals.
1. Be concise.
2. Make them “SMART.”
S
Specific M
Measurable
3. Write them down.
4. Share them.
A
Actionable
R
Realistic
T
Time-Bound

24. We Need Clarity
Live with the end in mind.
Paul’s Resolutions (Phil. 3:13-14):
1. Prioritization – “One thing I do…”
2. Progression – “Forgetting those things…”
3. Pressure – “I press toward the goal”
4. Prize – “… for the prize of the upward call”
5. Planning
