Book Rec: My One Word

jlentz24

It’s not too late this year to find your one word. Are you looking for spiritual formation? Dive into My One Word with a powerful practice that allows God to transform you. There is power in our words. They bridge divides, bring peace and cast vision. I love the simplicity of taking one word and letting God transform you over 365 days. Do you?

The concept of My One Word is simple: swap the long list of resolutions for a single word that represents what you most hope God will do in you, and let it become the lens through which you examine your heart and life for an entire year. As you focus on your word, you position yourself for God to form your character at a deep, sustainable level.

 

Join author Mike Ashcraft, who has led his congregation through the My One Word practice for more than five years, and Proverbs 31 Ministries author and speaker Rachel Olsen, who has lived the practice, as they share their insightful and good-humored approach to personal improvement.

 

The stories of growth and change throughout My One Word will:

 

Give you encouragement to discern one word to focus on

Deepen your relationship with God

Help you make changes that last

Are you ready to embrace the life-changing power of My One Word? Let Mike and Rachel be your guides along the way.

 

Discussion Guide


  1. Have you made New Year’s resolutions before? How have them impacted your new year?

  2. Are you looking for spiritual transformation?

  3. Go through the exercise Mike and Rachel suggest in the book, making a list of character traits you want to lean into. Narrow down to 4 and then pray for discernment as you choose your one word. Got it?

  4. Have you already had an annual word? How has it transformed your year?

About the Author

Hi, I’m Jordan. I’m originally from Destin, Florida, but have lived in Nashville, TN for 10 years. I started this blog in 2022 when I left my career in finance to take an adult gap year… yep, that’s right at 35 years old! Since then I have traveled to 65+ countries, most of the time solo. I lived in China for 4 years and have backpacked around the world. I like to stretch my budget for things like good meals and scuba diving, but ultimately the local experience is what drives me to explore. I love meeting new people and learning about other cultures, traditions and life lessons. Thanks for being here!
