Staying Hungry
I just left a meeting deeply inspired by three guys who are changing the game. They’re giving a generation of college and professional athletes a platform to magnify Christ and boldly share their faith with millions across the country.
"Who's the Wise Guy?"
Over the past two days, I’ve had eight face-to-face meetings with business partners within our Foundation. Each conversation was meaningful, each person unique. These are men and women undeniably called by God into distinct businesses and ministries, yet united by a common mission: to impact the world around them for Christ.
Seek More Trust…
This week, I’ve found myself in several conversations where one theme kept surfacing: clarity. People were either seeking it, asking for prayer that it would be revealed, or even struggling with what to do once they had it. Sound familiar? It does to me. I seek clarity all the time. If I’m being honest, I rarely ever find it.
Where's Your Focus?
Last night, my wife and I were blessed to have two friends and mentors over for dinner. Both are in pastoral ministry of their own kind and have become people we deeply trust. Whenever we sit with them, we know the conversation will be rich, and the wisdom timely.
Don’t Judge a Book…
Too many times in life, I’ve learned the lesson: don’t judge a book by its cover. But recently, I unlocked a deeper way of seeing both people and situations by tweaking that old saying just a bit.
It's All About Potential!
Today I had the chance to reflect on a concept that always hits hard when I evaluate my daily effort and the outcomes it produces. I pay a lot of attention to results. When things don’t measure up to expectations, I often head back to the drawing board to figure out what went wrong. I’m constantly looking for ways for our teams to improve, but if I’m honest, anything less than perfection often feels like failure.

Birthdays. Why That Specific Day?
Today is my birthday.
It’s funny because I’ve never really given my birthday much thought. Being on Cinco de Mayo has always added some extra fun over the years, but ironically, I never go out for Mexican food on my birthday—the places are always packed!
Modern Parables
Today’s story wasn’t chosen by me. It was handed to me, twice, from two different sources. That’s usually a sign that God wants me to hear something. And if that’s the case, I don’t want to leave you out. Maybe He wants you to hear it too!
Passing the Readiness Test
Ok - this thing is called "Daily Tithe". Today let's compare a lesson that Jesus taught us and how tithing can assist us in passing the test of readiness.
LEAN ON ME...AND YOU
Most of us have taken some sort of strengths, gifts, or personality test at some point. It could have been StrengthsFinder 2.0, a spiritual gifts assessment, or something specific for your current role. These tools help us understand where we’re naturally wired to thrive. But here’s the thing: understanding your strengths is only the first step. Actually utilizing your strengths —and the strengths of those around you—is a whole different story.
Cover Your Team
I love team meetings. I know a lot of folks don’t, but I genuinely do — for multiple reasons.
First, our meetings happen at a consistent time and day each week. Proximity matters. Both to each other and to our mission. No matter what obstacles or curveballs come our way, each of us can count on gathering every Monday.
Preparations: Where We’re Going and How We’re Leaving
Today, my family and I are heading out on a trip to St. Louis to visit relatives for the weekend. As we packed bags and loaded the car, I couldn’t help but notice how much goes into not just preparing for where we’re going, but also for how we’re leaving.
Time to Listen: Hearing God’s Voice
This morning, I had the opportunity to meet with a small group of men at C3, a gathering within the CBMC network (Christian Business Men's Connection). Great group of guys—and it’s growing fast. Today’s speaker walked us through something that’s both deeply personal and widely misunderstood: hearing the voice of God.
Monday Faith...
This Easter, we heard an incredible message at church. A retelling of the greatest moment in human history: the resurrection of Jesus Christ. But what stood out most wasn't just the moment he rose from the grave. It was what happened right before.
From Moriah to Golgotha – It Is Finished
This morning, I had a time of deep reflection on the events of Good Friday—the day we remember Jesus dying on the cross. It’s a moment in history that echoes throughout eternity. On this day, the offspring of the woman spoken of in Genesis 3 crushes the head of the serpent once and for all.
We Celebrate Jesus' Last Words
Have you ever thought about what you would say to the people you love most if you had just one final conversation with them before you died?
Just sit in that thought for a moment.
Today I had the privilege of witnessing two powerful examples of what it looks like to live out a calling. Examples of leadership marked by sacrifice, not status.
Interruptions and New Assignments
Kicking off the week is always an exciting time for me. Sunday nights are when the weekend winds down, and preparation mode kicks in. I start mapping out the week ahead—goals, meetings, to-dos.
Pouring Out and Pulling Back
At the end of a long week, what I look forward to most are the precious couple of hours I get with my family on Friday nights. They've become a needed reprieve as activities, responsibilities, and involvement have steadily increased over time.
