The first step in this journey of revival was to discover that God created us to love and seek joy and pleasure so that we would find our ultimate joy and pleasure in Him. The tool God used to open my eyes to see this was a message by John Piper called "We want you to be a Christian Hedonist."

The next step was to understand what having a renewed mind really means, which was also accomplished by John Piper's message entitled "All of Life as Worship."

The third step was to begin to understand the supremacy of God in every facet of life through "The Truth Project" and several John Piper messages relating to the Supremacy of God.

The fourth step was to understand more fully how passionate God is for His glory by reading the inspired book "Cat and Dog Theology."

The fifth step was to savor and crave God's presence more desperately by reading "The Shack."

Of course, there have been many other ways God has influenced my thinking along the way, and I hope to write more about them in the days and weeks to come.
