Jumping Points
Stepping into the Moments God Made You For

Jumping Points
The invitation is already in front of you. You have been walking past it. Brad Johnson calls them cultural cataracts, and there are four of them: identity, possession, performance, and pride. Each one fogs the lens just enough that what God is doing looks like ordinary inconvenience, and the moment made for you passes while you wait for something bigger and more obvious. The problem is not that you lack faith or calling. The problem is that you cannot see clearly. Jumping Points names each cataract, shows how it clouds your vision, and walks you through clearing it so you can recognize the real invitation. Johnson writes for the Christian who is busy, reasonably comfortable, and quietly restless, certain God has something for them and quietly afraid they have already missed it. The framework is practical and honest: look up and see the need around you, look in and recognize what you have been given, then lean out and invest it in what actually lasts. You do not have to do everything. You do not have to manufacture a calling or wait for a moment dramatic enough to be unmistakable. You simply have to see what is already there and say yes.
