Momentum for Life
Michael Slaughter

Michael Slaughter, lead pastor and chief visionary at Ginghamsburg, explains his model for daily living.  His five life practices for balance and self-leadership together form the acronym D-R-I-V-E: Devotion to God, Readiness for lifelong learning, Investing in key relationships, Visioning for the future, and Eating and Exercise for life. Taken together, these practices shape life as an upward momentum. Every follower of Christ needs to find the self-management practices that create momentum for life and guard against the temptation to downsize God's dream. "God can't steer a parked car," Slaughter says. "God is looking for people who will take their lives out of park and shift them into drive."
