Most of us feel overwhelmed at the idea of embarking on a grand plan for spiritual formation. As much as we’d like to, it just hasn’t happened yet. Enter My One Word—an easy and surprisingly powerful practice that will allow God to form your character at a deep, sustainable level with just one word.
The concept of My One Word is simple: swap the long list of resolutions for a single word that represents what you most hope God will do in you, and let it become the lens through which you examine your heart and life for an entire year. As you focus on your word, you position yourself for God to form your character at a deep, sustainable level.
Join author Mike Ashcraft, who has led his congregation through the My One Word practice for more than five years, and Proverbs 31 Ministries author and speaker Rachel Olsen, who has lived the practice, as they share their insightful and good-humored approach to personal improvement.
The stories of growth and change throughout My One Word will:
Are you ready to embrace the life-changing power of My One Word? Let Mike and Rachel be your guides along the way.
Praise for My One Word:
«You are only one decision away from a totally different life. One change in spiritual disciplines can open up new dimensions of grace and power. Use My One Word to stop repeating the past and start creating the future.»
—Mark Batterson, author of New York Times bestseller The Circle Maker; lead pastor of National Community Church
«My One Word is a lens that can change every area of your life. This is more than a to-do list and more than a New Year’s resolution—this can be a lifestyle with pretty dramatic results.»
—Kyle Idleman, author of Not A Fan and When Your Way Isn’t Working; teaching pastor of Southeast Christian Church
In My One Word, a video-based study, pastor and author Mike Ashcraft guides you through a year of lasting, radical change. Instead of trying to change everything at once, by focusing on one specific word to symbolize your hope for God’s work in your life, you’ll be empowered through him to embrace the personal change you desire most.

The concept of My One Word is simple. Lose the long list of resolutions—all your sweeping promises to change—and do something about one thing this year instead of nothing about everything. Choose just one word that represents what you most hope God will do in you, and focus on it for an entire year. This single act will force clarity and concentrate your efforts. As you focus on your word over an extended period of time, you position yourself for God to form your character at a deep, sustainable level. Growth and change will result.
Author Mike Ashcraft, who has led his megachurch through this My One Word project for more than five years, and Proverbs 31 Ministries author and speaker Rachel Olsen, who has lived it, are encouraging, insightful, good-humored, yet realistic in this enjoyable read. Their stories of growth and change through My One Word will keep you motivated. Throughout the book you’ll also find words and stories of people just like you who have joined the My One Word movement and discovered the power of just one word. Includes discussion questions for use with the small-group video curriculum, My One Word: A DVD Study (sold separately).
