Game Changers for Your Faith Journey

A Resolution to Transform Your Life

Matthew Kelly, the leader of Dynamic Catholic, is offering "game changers" to transform your life.  He defines a game changer as something that is 1.) easy to accomplish and 2.) profound in impact.

Matthew offers three game changers.  He promises that if you pick one and do it for the next year, it will transform your life.  I agree with him, I believe these will change my life.  And I plan to do one.

1.) Read One Chapter of the Gospels Every Day for One Year

The Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John contain the words and deeds of the Son of God during His time on this planet.  And yet, many of us are only vaguely familiar with the messages in these four books.

Read one chapter of the Gospels every day.  When you finish all four, start over at the beginning.  Focusing on the direct words of Jesus Christ will transform your life.

2.) Go to Confession Every Month for One Year

The Sacrament of Penance is one of the greatest gifts Christ left His Church.  Through it we we receive complete forgiveness and freedom from sin.  And yet, most people are terrified of going to confession.

Go to confession once a month, every month, for the next twelve months. Focusing on your sins and God's unbelievable mercy will transform your life.

3.) Keep a Mass Journal for One Year 

If God, the Almighty Creator, was going to speak to you, wouldn't you write it down to make sure you never forgot?  And yet, this is exactly what we experience every Sunday when we go to church and attend Mass. 

Every Sunday for the next year, at the beginning of church ask God to speak to you and show you one way you can become a better version of yourself.  When you hear it, write it down in the journal.  A year of focusing on God speaking directly to you will transform you.

My Resolution for 2014

I love practicing what I preach.  So for 2014, I resolve to read one chapter of the Gospels every day for the next 365 days.  By my calculations, 89 chapters means I should get through all four Gospels four times with nine days to spare.  I'll let you know the results of my journey in one year's time!
