Title: Make a Tweak Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. – Deuteronomy 6:5 If you see passion in someone’s life…you’ll usually find something fresh, new, filled with mystery. And the inverse is true… When I find my walk with God getting stale, […]
Thu // Warrior :: Courage
Title: Warrior Inside Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. – Ephesians 6:10 As men, God created us to have a warrior inside of us. Maybe as kids we pretended we were Cowboys, Indians or Superheroes. It’s easy to imagine doing courageous things in the face of adversity when you are […]
Wed // Grit :: Character
Title: Know yourself Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character.” – 1 Corinthians 15:33 Character is challenged in times of adversity, as well as, times of prosperity. Joseph’s character remained true to God despite the adversity of being betrayed by his brothers, Potiphar’s wife, and abandonment of Pharaoh’s cupbearer. Joseph’s character remained true […]
Tue // Fuel :: Wisdom
Title: What wisdom provides Wisdom will save you from the ways of wicked men, from men whose words are perverse. – Proverbs 2:12 AW Tozer once said, “Wisdom provides a path for the highest good,\u2028for the greatest number,\u2028for the longest time.” I like that.

Sat // Build :: Encouragement
Title: Enabling courage Encourage one another daily, as long as it is called “Today,” – Hebrews 3:13a Courage is something we receive. Most likely your courage was a gift from someone else – possibly years or decades ago, a father, a teacher, a friend or a coach encouraged you. Enabling courage in others is a […]
Fri // Steel :: Example
Title: An opportunity to serve people Set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity. – 1 Timothy 4:12b Part of my job is sales. When I first started, I wasn’t very good. I thought I was a burden to the people I was selling to and […]
Thu // Warrior :: Battle
Title: Just Grin and Bear it! For the battle is not yours, but God’s. Chronicles 20:15 We cannot simply just grin and bear it and “things will get better”. Our battle is not with our boss, getting that promotion, our finances and bills, being a better father….the list goes on and on. Our BIGGEST battle […]
Wed // Grit :: Perseverance
Title: Don’t lose heart Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. – Hebrews 12:1c Life throws us curveballs at times. The road to success is filled with speedbumps. It is like an obstacle course, when all you want to do is get from point A to point B as smoothly and […]
