Read an Excerpt

A Divine Encounter that Radically Changed My Life

On January 21, 2010, I had the privilege of hosting a webinar with Rick Grubbs titled “Redeeming the Time.” That was by far the best presentation about time I have ever heard.

Rick is the founder of Life Changing Seminars and Redeeming the Time radio. He may well be the foremost expert in the world teaching about redeeming the time, having shared his presentation more than 1,500 times in at least 49 states and 20 countries.

It was Rick Grubbs who opened my eyes of understanding to see “time is your life.” It was Rick who taught me, “When you waste your time, you waste your life.” And I have never been the same since. At the beginning of his presentation, Rick explained what it means to redeem the time. “Redeem” means “to rescue from going to waste” and “time” is “the passing of life.”

If you ask a group of people, “Does anybody here plan on wasting your life?” nobody says “yes.” However, if you ask, “How many of you will likely waste a little time this coming week?”, every single person listening is guilty to some degree. This reveals a tactic of the devil. He tries to make you think that somehow there is a difference between time on one hand, and life itself on the other. If he can do that, the result is you will not properly value your time. If you do not see your time as life, it is easy to waste a minute of it.

Now, if that happens 60 times through your day, you have wasted an hour. 24 hours slip by and a day has gone unredeemed. This can easily turn into a week, a month, or maybe even a year without you doing anything significant for God. You may simply drift in and out of the different seasons of your life without ever really embracing what God has for you. Then one day you wake up an old man or an old woman, looking back on life frustrated and thinking, “Where did it go? What happened to all those things I wanted to do for God as a young person?” This happens when you fail to realize that when you waste your time, you really are wasting your life. A wasted life is simply an accumulation of a lot of wasted time. The starting point to redeeming your time is to realize time is your life and it is impossible to waste your time without also wasting your life. Since nobody wants to wake up from the tragedy of a wasted life behind them, let us look next at the question of why it is so important to redeem the time. Unless you have a firm understanding of the why, you will not follow through with the how.
