Picture a baseball diamond. To win the game, you've got to make it around the bases. Home plate is the starting point and the ending. Think of home plate as your relationship with God. It's where you get your purpose and your power.
First Base--Winning with yourself. This has to do with character. To make it to this point, you've got to raise your IQ (integrity quotient). You've got to win the battle within--building your character, undstanding your gifts, living your strengths.
Second Base--Winning with people. This has to do with community. You value people. You create life giving relationships. You bless people.
Third Base--Winning with situations. This has to do with competence. Here, you win some battles. Your strategy works. Your ideas take flight. You figure out how to make it work.
That brings you back home to where you experience the purpose and power of God in your life again.
