Adventurize Life

Start Here

You've got
one life.
Engage it.

Adventurize Life™ is a way of approaching the life God has given you with courage, imagination, strength, joy, and faithful action.

You do that well when you know who you are, choose what matters, and live the story in front of you.

Start with WHO.
Live Your Story.
WIN Your Race.

Orientation: the route through the terrain toward the light

The Practice

What it means to Adventurize Life.

Adventure is learning to engage your actual life as a courageous, story-shaped path of Christlike growth, not an escape from ordinary life.

  • Trust God even when you cannot see the whole trail.
  • Respect the strengths He gives you.
  • Do the work your dreams require.
  • Choose pursuits worth committing to.
  • Adapt when the terrain changes.
  • Enjoy learning from, partnering with, and encouraging people along the way.
  • Celebrate, rest, and reap what the journey formed in you.

The Route

Three steps. One repeating cycle.

  1. Start with WHOThe ground you stand on.
  3. Live Your StoryThe cycle you run.
  5. WIN Your RaceWhat the finish means.

Inside Live Your Story

  1. Dream
  3. Do
  5. Reap

Then it begins again with the next race.

At Dream you choose the race: a Challenge, a Create, or a Build.

The hollow markers are fade points. They can interrupt anywhere on the cycle — which is why so few races get finished.

Base camp: orientation before the climb

Step One

Start with WHO.

Before tactics: God. You. People.

  • Know God.
  • Respect how He designed and shaped you.
  • Name the people your life and work are meant to serve.

Step Two

Live Your Story.

God is the Author of your story. You are the protagonist, not a spectator. He doesn't force you to move. That's your role.

Dream — choose the race

Challenge

Challenge

Develop capacity through a demanding physical or skill-based test.

Create

Create

Express imagination by bringing original work into existence.

Build

Build

Create enduring value through something that can continue serving people.

Then run the cycle

Dream→Do→Reap

Dream deliberately. Do the work. Reap the growth, result, lesson, story, and evidence of God's faithfulness. Then begin again with the next race.

WIN: walk with God in authentic community now and forever

Step Three

WIN Your Race.

Winning is bigger than getting the outcome you wanted.

Walk with God
In authentic community
Now and forever.

You can pursue boldly without worshiping the outcome. You can fail externally without becoming a failure. You can succeed without letting success define your worth.

Every earthly race becomes practice for eternity.

The Interruption

Something gets in the way of finishing.

Eventually something interrupts the cycle. You lose clarity, consistency, courage, focus, meaning, or the ability to stop and receive the finish. It is rarely the dream that fails.

Fade points marked along the Dream to Do to Reap route

That recurring interruption is your Fade Pattern.

Patterns can be identified and broken.
