What if “living your best life” actually meant putting others first?
Ascension isn’t just about Jesus going up—it’s about us going down in ego and up in love. In a culture that tells us to protect “my time, my money, my peace” at all costs, Jesus calls us to a different trajectory: die to self, rise to a new way of living, and bring glory to God through how we love.
• Before you post a rant, ask: “Is this about truth and love, or just about me being right?”
• At work, take one task this week that no one wants and do it with zero credit-seeking.
• In your family or friend group, let someone else “win” the argument and choose to protect the relationship over your pride.
• Budget 5–10% of your “fun money” not for you, but for generosity (coffee for a coworker, groceries for a neighbor, surprise Venmo for a stressed friend).
