"Before you decide what you're going to do, you must first decide who are you going to be."
Who you are (on the inside) will determine what you do. Andy's main point throughout his sermon was not worrying so much about who you know or what you're going to do. As to, who you truly are on the inside. He referenced Daniel 6 in the sermon.
"3Then this Daniel became distinguished above all the other presidents and satraps, because an excellent spirtit was in him. And the king planned to set him over the whole kingdom. 4Then the presidents and the satraps sought to find a ground for complaint against Daniel with regard to the kingdom, but they could find no ground for complaint or any fault, because he was faithful, and nor error or fault was found in him. 5Then these men said, 'We shall not find any ground for complaint against this Daniel unless we find it in connection with the law of his God." Daniel 6: 3-5
The could find no fault in Daniel; his spirit was "excellent". Who we are on the inside will determine what we do in this life.
Here's a couple of examples of traits Andy tries to instill in his life.
Honesty
-foundation of all relationships
Pure
-paves the way to intimacy
Generous
-the things that you own, never own you
"What I wanted to be started turning into what God wanted me to be"
