Your highest calling is to pursue the adventure you were made for.

Joe Leininger’s writing

is shaped by his life principles.

He’s a guy who moves through life slightly off-tempo. Listen to the beat:

  • Your highest calling is to pursue the adventure you were made for.

  • The disciplines you adopt form the person you become.

  • Generosity is a requisite to joy.

  • Only at the intersection of grit and hope is there a chance to make the world (and yourself) better.

  • God works through ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things.

“By pouring his life into young men and then encouraging them to do the same with others, Joe is tapping into a geometric progression that can change the world. How do we know? It’s exactly what Jesus did.”

“Dirt Clods and Donkeys captures some of Joe’s unique range, with its practical lessons for effective mentoring and its compelling case studies, but also some deep reflections about the miracle of experiencing God’s handiwork. It’s a quick but meaningful read. Enjoy!“
