What Matters Most: Thoughts on a Life Well Lived

Trusted voices help us on our journey; voices of those who have been tested, bloodied, and scarred but have endured. Voices of those who have kept hope alive when every reason for hope seemed lost. Voices of love and compassion, friendship and forgiveness. My hope is that you'll find my voice trustworthy and that, in these words, you'll find encouragement to live a life that matters, and ultimately, for what matters most. Why should my words matter to you? I'm not famous or prominent in any way, neither am I a philosopher or a theologian. I'm an ordinary person like most of you; a husband, a father, an employee, and a friend. The world needs ordinary people to live lives that matter, lives that make a difference. It isn't the experts and the thought leaders who change the world, it's the everyday people like us. "If living well matters genuinely to you, then is a must-read! Danny Kittinger says he's an ordinary person, and I reckon it's true. Yet, his earnest disciplined attention to the Word of God and to Jesus, the Word that became flesh, has given his life form and substance, producing an extraordinarily enviable life. I'm confident it won't take long for you to trust his voice and be encouraged to, like him, 'live a life that matters, and ultimately, for what matters most.'" -Fil Anderson, Spiritual director, conference speaker, retreat leader, and author
