Key Quotes From Jon Acuff
“I define ‘potential’ as the gap between your vision and your reality. So the vision of how you thought life would be, or what you could do, and the reality of how you’re currently living. And a lot of people die in that gap because they feel shame.”
“Fifty percent of people feel that 50% of themselves is untapped.”
“What’s interesting to me about Christianity is I keep running into leaders in Christian circles that have broken soundtracks about success, and so they self-sabotage.”
“I would say the thing that God keeps pressing on me is focus on excellence, not growth, because excellence leads to growth. When I obsess about growth now, I’m outside of his will.”
“How do you be fully engaged in your gifts and not become a jerk? How do you be fully engaged in your gifts and not blow up your church?”
“I’m a big believer that you can be fully engaged in your gifts and fully engaged in your God because he gave you the gifts.”
