When someone asked us, ” What motivates you to do what you do?” we used to say things like: our passion, our goals, our need to provide for our family, our work ethic, our values or our deep love for God and his call on our lives.

How would you answer that question?  

What motivates you to do what you do?

We can’t think of any significant stretch in the last 40 years when we felt unclear about what was really motivating us.  We have lived our lives as purposeful, strategic, God- called leaders who were destined to use up our gifts, to leave it all on the field for God’s glory. We dedicated our lives, our marriage, our parenting and our leadership to that aim.

We were dead on sure about who and what drove us.

We were living as true as we knew how

and leading others to do the same. 

Then the proverbial manure hit the fan.  

And out of that mess came a clarity, that folks who know about these things say, may not have come by any other way. It was the ephiphany of ephipanies—and the jolt smacked us awake allowing us a perspective, a whole new layer of seeing what had often been at work in our core.  

We had no clue the extent to which three primal questions nudged us, prodded us, provoked us and prompted us to strive harder, jump higher, and do it better than anyone else around. We could not see the three, undetected “drivers” multiplying  a boatload of anxiety, stress and frustration in us.

We said, that’s just ” the cost of discipleship” or the “price tag of leadership.” We learned to “suck it up,” to mask high levels of protracted exhaustion which contributed to times of emotional vulnerability, poor coping and, eventually, personal failure.

So, why are we telling you this?

Because you don’t have to be zealous leaders of a mega church to have these drivers operating in you.

Right now, everyone you know,

including you,

is being taunted and tempted

by one, two or three primal questions.

These are so subtle and so sly that they easily camoflague themselves

under very good, even godly, intentions. 

We have been blown away by the pervasive nature

of these relentless, internal motivators.

Until you see them, you can’t begin to address them.

And unfortunately, sometimes it takes serious loss or failure to awaken to the possibilty that some of what we’re doing in our most important relationships, with our careers, our parenting, our ministries, our finances, you name it, is coming from places within us we didn’t even know existed.

This is why we dedicate ourselves to share our learnings with every willing listener. 

We are convinced it’s that big a deal.
