1. INTRO / HOOK — Recognition

We all understand ambition.

• We understand wanting to matter.
• Wanting influence.
• Wanting our lives to count.
• Nobody wakes up in the morning hoping to live a small life.

We want to lead something.

• Build something.
• Change something.

And if we’re honest…

• we like recognition too.
• We like when people notice.
• We like when people appreciate what we do.

There is something inside every human heart that wants significance.

• That part of you isn’t sinful.
• It’s human.
• But here’s where things get complicated.

The world has a very specific way of defining greatness. Greatness looks like:

• More power.
• More control.
