How can we make a difference in our neighborhoods, workplaces, and literally everywhere we go? What if we chose to use the one small voice we have to positively affect the people we encounter each day? No matter the environment, we can begin to envision desired outcomes, set goals, and action steps, and to lean into the Holy Spirit for creativity and inspiration.

High schoolers and college students are ready to begin the transition to adult life and pursuit of the American dream. But maybe it’s worth taking a pause before plunging headlong in any direction—to GET OUT and see a different slice of life—another part of the world. Why not consider where and how to make a difference as a follower of Christ when considering the next chapters of your life? Guess what...you can!

Isn’t traveling for rest and relaxation? How could an ordinary person make a difference abroad? Your baggage includes your self-imposed laundry list of flaws, insufficiencies, and conflicting priorities. But what if your imperfections are actually gifts that make you more relatable to others? Serving can provide more rejuvenation than laying on a beach. Travel channels and selfies can't put into pictures what God will do when we invite Him into the itinerary.
