So for me, I've realized that if I can just let my voice come last as best I can, you know, so that, because once somebody, the leader says something, then it almost sets the pace of the room and stuff like that. And there's times to do that. But when you're trying to collaborate, which a lot of what I'm trying to do now is leverage giving and collaborate, that's transformational unifier.
Then if I don't watch, if I speak too early, then I've kind of killed new ideas. So I usually try to be the last one to speak as best I can so that I know that I'm hearing real thoughts and then honoring those thoughts again before – I would not have understood the emotions and all those kind of things.
Yes, emotions sometimes can get out of control, of course, and sometimes you need to work on that. But to understand what's happening behind that, there's something behind that emotion. So how do you get that? But I think probably one of the things I've tried to learn over time is just be real slow about speaking.
Because sometimes you've got ideas, you want to share them, and you want to put them out there. But I realize that I kill other people's ideas.
Yeah, and there's pros and cons to it. There's pros because, wow, better ideas come up and you get to go through that. And sometimes things happen and you have to realize you've got to come back and pull that back in because now we've gotten off mission or wherever we're trying to go and all that stuff. So there's both sides of that, but yeah. There's pros and cons to every level.
Yeah, I guess my morning routine would be where I start. I mean, I always want to start with some of these gateways of intimacy. And there's three verses I pray every morning before I read the Bible.
God's word would be obviously prayer, wounds, fear. There's been times that I've had fear, but then I've learned to get closer to the Lord. Nature has been one of them. Believing that God exists.
Bible tells us you'll get closer. I just found verse that talked about. So there's 31 different ways to do that. And so, so obviously I'm trying to get two or three of them in the morning. Right. And then used to, I'm a very left brain person. So I don't get a lot of music in my life, but I realized that songs at different times. So every morning now I just buy an album.
I just listen to 10 songs every year at a, On January 1st, I give my kids the songs of the year. So last year there was 12. I give them an Apple guard. I don't humor myself. They go download the 12 songs I give them. They do it to something else. Fair enough. But they're just songs that for some reason that day just spoke deeply to me. But I've just given myself the opportunity.
And then I do things physically. I'm a runner. And so I enjoy going to spend about 30 minutes just running on a day because I feel like, you know, that I want to take care of my spirit, my mind, and my body. Mm-hmm. And so that's part of my lifelong learning. That's why I want to keep my mind challenged, my body. So those are the ways that I start my day.
One of them is you versus getting ready to download the one billionth device coming up this year. So that gets me super, super excited. We're probably going to.
Yeah, yeah. And I got to drive by and saw you got a new building for you version. So I just know it's growing and God's been blessing that. And then I've been excited about The Chosen. I think The Chosen, incredible television series because my passion for languages, we're going to help them get into 600 languages. 95% of the world speaks the top 600 languages.
So there's a couple of things that I'm working on right now outside of Bible translation, which I've been doing and will continue to do for years. So those are some of the most exciting things going on right now.
Yeah. And as you said, I'm a person of faith. That's obviously very obvious. But I believe God created us all with a purpose and a plan or what I call an identity. And that's why I pushed in. That's just even the last year. What's my identity? What am I going to do? There's some things about Craig Groeschel I love. I wish I could be like you in this and that. And I realized, you know what?
I don't need to be you. God didn't make me to be Craig Groeschel. I need you to be the best Groeschel possible. I need to be the best Mark Green possible. So don't compare yourself to others. Go in and find in your spirit, what is it that you were created? You have a purpose. And we all lose when you don't live your purpose out. And we try to be somebody else, we lose too. So go back in.
How do you find out who you're made to be? And some of it's your natural giftings, your bents, all that stuff. It takes time. It takes talking to others. I have six adventure partners. I ask them, do you think I'm a transformational unifier? Does this resonate with you? And so they were able to help me process, get with others. Who am I? Where does God naturally use me?
And forget trying to be Craig Groeschel. Don't try to be Mark Green. Please don't try to be Mark Green. Be who you are because we all lose if you don't be the best identity that you should be.
About 20 years ago, I was getting it over my head. So I wanted to get – actually, I had seven at that time. One passed through COVID. So for the last 20 years, these guys come along. They're kind of like my – if you want to call them a board, my accountability group. But these are the guys that I hold myself accountable. And so when life gets upside down, it gets crazy –
You know, these seven guys I can call, one's a pastor, one's business, one's my neighbor, some are out of town. So they've all got variety. A couple of them think I'm the greatest thing ever. I got a couple who prune me every single time, right? So you need guys who kind of cheer you on and you need guys who kind of prune you.
And so, but I just call them my adventure partners because I think life is an adventure. It's uncomfortable, you get wounded, but you can see God provide if you go on that adventure.
