SPARK by Jason Jaggard


SPARK by Jason Jaggard

The title comes from Spark Groups that Jason Jaggard formed (first small and than grew) with the purpose of taking risks to make yourself and better person or the world a better place.  The risks could start very small.  Some guidelines were:  The risk had to be immediate—within 6 days.  The risk needed to be controllable.  In other words, it had to be within your power to do it.  The risk would need to be challenging enough to stretch your comfort zone.  Lastly, the risk should be positive to make your life or the world better.

Each of these guidelines is discussed with many examples, both Biblical and present life, that illustrate and teach these points.  By taking a risk, we can change ourselves or our world—one spark at a time.

How a person’s uniqueness and ability to partner with God qualifies us to serve mankind.  We were created to serve.  We should see opportunities rather than obstacles and not be afraid to take the risk.  Too often we focus on what we cannot do rather than what we can do.  Doing nothing only leads to more nothing.
