My 3 Words for 2024

My 3 Words is a yearly exercise to help people focus on three ways they can achieve their goals. For a better explanation of My 3 Words, check out Chris Brogan’s blog. He does a better job explaining it than I do.

Embrace

I’m embracing all aspects of who I am. In the past, I’ve shied away from sharing that I’m a Christian in other projects besides those directly related to Christianity. This year I’m going to lean into it, when appropriate.

Cultivate

I have a lot of things going on in social media, podcasting, and other online ventures. This year I’m going to cultivate those things that produce the best results instead of spreading myself so thin.

Simplify

Simple doesn’t equal to easy. Sometimes it’s easier to write or say more. It can be difficult to be precise. It’s easier to record a podcast and only edit obvious mistakes instead of editing for content.

By now, you should see these three words in nearly all of my social media profiles. I’m putting them there to remind me what I’m aiming for this year.

John Wilkerson

Since I was a kid I’ve loved technology. My first computer was a Commodore VIC-20. My first gaming console was an Atari 2600. Saturday morning cartoons were my crack.

Those formative years gave me a passion for things that light up and beep. These days I tend to binge on social media and Netflix.

I’ve been married to my fantastic wife for 27 years and have 7 awesome kids, a fancy daughter-in-law, and the cutest grandsons on the planet.

My wife and I homeschooled all of our kids. Well, my wife homeschooled them and I tried to help.

Mostly I just got in the way and distracted them from their learning. That’s what dads are supposed to do, right?

Every day I struggle to follow Jesus
Struggling for Purpose is my personal audio journal of faith and folly. Most of the time it seems more like folly than faith. Sometimes I interview people I find interesting.

Join me as I struggle for purpose in my daily life.

“Dear brothers and sisters…I urge you…to join in my struggle…”
—Romans 15:30 (NLT)
