In the last blog, we discovered that joy and possibility are not random feelings—they are intentionally cultivated mindsets rooted in God’s truth.

When you expand your thinking, your life expands with it.

Now, it’s time to take the next step: to mo...

Expanding Your Mindset

“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” – Romans 12:2

In a world that’s constantly calling us to shrink back, protect ourselves, and settle for “good enough,” it is easy to lose our joy.

Fear disguises itself as wisdom...

The word “consider” comes from the Latin considerare — meaning “to look at closely, to observe the stars, to study attentively.” At its core, it calls us to pause, reflect, and look carefully before acting. To consider isn’t passive thought—it’s an active choice to look again, more deeply, from a hi...

Ever have one of those days when you want to go do something—work out, clean the garage, meet a friend—but you just… can’t?

You sit there staring into space, wondering, “Where did it go?!?”

You remember when you used to have energy—you hiked, you played with your kids, you stayed up laughing wi...

Grow Young Again!

Let’s be honest — life has a way of aging us on the inside.

Responsibilities pile up. Dreams fade. Battles leave scars.

Jesus warned us about this very danger: “Because of the incre...

What does it mean to feel stranded in life?

It’s more than being stuck in traffic or waiting on a tow truck.

It’s that sinking feeling when your marriage feels distant, your relationships lack connection, your finances won’t stretch, your career stalls, or your productivity crashes.

On the outsid...

“God’s Not Burning You Out—He’s Lifting You Up"

Ever feel like you’re just keeping your head above water—groggy, unmotivated, stuck in the status quo, falling behind, and tired of all that life keeps throwing at you? Ever feel like more and more is expected of you in all the roles you star in—at wo...

I love bikes. I don’t know what it is, but they fascinate me. Whenever I travel to a new town, I don’t rush to the bars or restaurants—I go straight to the bike shop. I’ll spend hours talking with people about frames, tires, weight, gears, materials, and especially seats.

Here’s the thing: most peo...

Why You Are Not Progressing

“So I will always remind you of these things, even though you know them and are firmly established in the truth you now have.” – 2 Peter 1:12

One of the biggest reasons we don’t experience progress is simple: we learn, but we don’t put into practice what we’ve learn...

Refuse to Go Numb

What pulls at your heartstrings? Pause and really consider it. Who do you feel drawn to serve, uplift, or encourage?

Deep within, there’s a divine impulse—an inner stirring that says, “This is where you’re needed. This is where you come alive.”

This calling isn’t about chasing p...
