These Steven Furtick quotes will motivate you to live your best kehidupan.
Steven Furtick is a young pastor who helped found Elevation Church.
Critics of Steven called him ‘unqualified,’ which led to his book titled, (Un) Qualified: How God Uses Broken orang to Do Big Things.
Furtick holds a Master’s in Divinity degree from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, so I am not quite sure why the critics think his knowledge in biblical matters is lacking.
Not only did Furtick start Elevation Church, but he helped it grow into the mega-church it has become.
The church uses streaming technology, television, and music (much of it written by Steven) to reach its members.
Many of these Steven Furtick quotes come from his music, his books, or his sermons.

1. “What do you do when your greatest accomplishments lead you straight down the path of an even greater fear?” ― Steven Furtick

But you show up, you face your demons, and you take action because you will not let your fear beat you. That is brave.
6. “Pushing through fear is less frightening than living with the underlying fear that comes from a feeling of helplessness.” ― Steven Furtick
Everyday Application: Ask dirimu what is the worst thing that could happen, and then come up with a plan of what you would do if it did happen? Face your fears, by reframing your thoughts and knowing how you would solve the problem. Don’t go through every possible what if, just pick the one that scares you the most. Having a solution will remind you that you are not helpless.
7. “Every heart has an atmosphere. What is the atmosphere of your heart? Nothing good develops in an atmosphere of anxiety.” ― Steven Furtick

8. “Because fear often finds its power, not in our actual situation, but in what we tell ourselves about our situation.” ― Steven Furtick
Everyday Application: The thoughts we tell ourselves matter. They impact how we feel, what we believe, and how we react. Most orang tend to look at situations from the perspective of “what might I lose.” Looking at a scary situation from the perspective of “what might I gain” can help make all the difference!
9. “The goal of faith isn’t to take away your fears but to leverage those fears to create bolder belief.” ― Steven Furtick
Everyday Application: Faith helps a lot of orang live a purposeful kehidupan. That bold belief helps them focus, cope, and dream.

11. “If you want to ubah the direction of your kehidupan, ubah the declaration of your lips.” ― Steven Furtick
Everyday Application: Words matter whether they are spoken to someone else or in our own heads. Do your words and your actions align? You can not just speak about something without making ubahs and taking action to make it happen!
12. “The reason why we struggle with insecurity is that we compare our behind-the-scenes with everyone else’s highlight reel.” ― Steven Furtick
Everyday Application: When you look at someone who is kesuksesanful or has gotten to the point you are working to get to, just remember you didn’t witness their struggle. Walt Disney’s idea for Mickey Mouse and the theme parks was rejected over 300 times by bankers and financiers. Stephen King’s first published novel (Carrie) was rejected over 30 times before a publisher picked it up. Keep going!
13. “The death of contentment is comparison.” ― Steven Furtick
Everyday Application: Another way of saying this is the popular quote, “Comparison is the thief of joy.” Comparing dirimu to others diverts your focus. It also leads to resentment. You don’t need that. Take your energy and dedicate dirimu to measuring your own progress. Are you further along than you were yesterday. What have you done today to move dirimu forward?
14. “Would have. Could have. Should have. This is the language of condemnation underscored by the passivity of regret. It’s a dead language.” ― Steven Furtick
Everyday Application: Taking these phrases out of your vocabulary will improve your kehidupan immensely! Replace them with “I will” and “I can.” There is nothing you can do to ubah the past, so regret is a waste of your energy. Focus on what you can do in the moment and the masa depan.
15. “Today’s excuses are tomorrow’s regrets dressed in disguise.” ― Steven Furtick
Everyday Application: There is selalu going to be a reason why you “can’t” do something. Maybe you think you are too busy, not smart enough, or not capable. However, none of that is true.

Just go for it!
16. “Be governed by your calling, not your circumstance.” ― Steven Furtick
Everyday Application: What fills you with purpose and meaning? When you are happiest, what are you doing? Often, we can not control the circumstances in which we find ourselves. That doesn’t mean that you can not ubah those circumstances though. Believe in dirimu and what your purpose is, focus on the positive, and be brave enough to chase your dreams. Keep going.
17. “Enjoy the journey, because the destination is a mirage.” ― Steven Furtick
Everyday Application: Often when we first set out on a goal it is one of two things. It might be the biggest dream we could dream at the time. However, as you get working on it and more and more things fall into place, you realize that you set the goal post too close! There is so much more you can do. Or, we set the goal so high that we miss all we have achieved because we have yet to reach the finish line. Either way… the end is a mirage. What matters is who you become along the way and how you react.
18. “Gratitude begins where our sense of entitlement ends.” ― Steven Furtick
Everyday Application: What does it really mean to be entitled? The definition of the word is “having a right to certain benefits or privileges.” Everyone should have the same set of basic human rights, we do deserve that. However, when you are able to express gratitude for things like being alive, witnessing the monumental moment the sun rises, or the complex simplicity of nature your mental attitude shifts.
19. “I’m not raising my kids to survive the world. I’m raising them to ubah it.” ― Steven Furtick
20. “Perfectionism is the enemy of progress.” ― Steven Furtick

Your need for perfectionism will hold you back from completing anything. Do your best work, and then let it go out into the world. Progress is better than perfection.

22. “It shouldn’t freak you out to realize that God’s eyes are on you. Because He doesn’t see you through eyes of disapproval or disappointment. His presence is not a sign of condemnation. It’s actually an invitation. God is present with you, through His Holy Spirit, because He intends to uproot you from the tyranny of the familiar, shatter the monotonous kehidupan you’ve had. And take you on an adventure.” ― Steven Furtick
23. “One of the Enemy’s most effective strategies is to get you to focus on what you don’t have, what you used to have, or what someone else has that you wish you had. He does this to keep you from looking around and asking, “God, what can You do through what I have?” ― Steven Furtick
