Giving People From Highschool/College a 2nd Chance // Fellowship
Think about how much you've changed/matured since highschool/college. I've often made the mistake of thinking that I have matured and changed but nobody else has. WHERE IS THE LOGIC IN THAT?!

Obsessing Over What is "Optimal" Might Be Hurting You // Fitness
I can't possible speak to every story, but this is what I'm learning in my own current fitness journey. I've obsessed too much over the most optimal training at times, which has gotten in the way of me enjoying my training. It's also difficult to sustain in my current season of life.

The Golden Rule is Wrong // Family

Stop Inviting People to Church // Faith
By the title alone, you probably assume that this is clickbait. On one hand, it is. Of course I'd love for you to bring your friends to church. But on the other hand, people who are far from God are typically far more receptive to the Good News if they are at your dinner table as opposed to coming to church on Sunday. You have a testimony and you have a story for a reason. Start there. Don't rely on the pastor. You got this!

You Need Less Friends & More Depth // Fellowship
So many people spread themselves too thin in their relationships. It's way better to be KNOWN by a few than have tons of people that you can hang out with but not be known by.

Literally Anybody Can Be a Runner // Fitness
Unless you are physically handicapped, anybody can be a runner. I don't care if you've never run before, if you think you hate running, or if you are overweight. EVERYONE can run. You just have to start off the right way: nice and easy.

My Favorite Bible Verse on Leadership // Faith
Proverbs 20:5 says "The purposes of a person's heart are deep waters, but one of understanding draws them out." If you want to know what true leadership looks like, this is it. Help "draw out" the deep waters of the people around you.

Your Home is Not a Business // Family
One of the things that I've noticed about myself is that I often treat my home like my business if I am not careful. I am often focusing on tasks, priorities, efficiency, etc. As much as I don't like the term "Be Present" because I think it's overused, I could use a healthy dose of that.

A Simple Activity to Bring You Closer to God // Faith
This activity wrecked me. I continue to do it often. I often believe the lie that I'm on my own. I believe that I have to prove my worth by clinching my fists and working harder. I forgot that God is my father. I operate best when I have a childlike faith and I operate as a little boy who wants to make his father proud. Challenge: Look at a toddler picture of yourself and listen to this song . You won't regret it!...

Whether You're Introverted or Extroverted, There is No Excuse For This // Fellowship
I recently read a quote that said "Being introverted does not excuse you to not be in community and being extroverted does not excuse you from going to the secret place." No matter who we are, we need both!

Running a Marathon Once <<< Running Daily For Years // Fitness
If you want to run a marathon, more power to you. I have not run one yet, but I will one day. With that said, I see so many people "yo yo" their way through fitness. They may train a little bit to run one race and then completely fall off the wagon. You'll benefit far more from developing the habits of being a runner for a long time than you will just running one race.

Having a Baby Made Me More Productive // Family
People say that there is no time for fun and that all of your time goes away when you have a baby. One one hand, that is true. On the other, you can create more time and be more productive if you are intentional. Having a baby made me realize how much crap I had in my schedule. By removing the crap or "trimming the fat," I was able to create so much more time for myself.

The Controversial Way I Start My Mornings // Faith
I have a skull that sits in a drawer in my house. It's the first thing I look at every single morning. It reminds me one one thing: I am doing to die. I hold it and recite Psalm 90:12 which says, "Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom." This gives me the perspective that I need going into each day.

Why You Hate Running & Are Slow // Fitness
Most people have running trauma. Let's face it. For most of you, it was your punishment in your sport growing up. You try to run now because you want to be fit, but it sucks... Therefore you suck at it. Here's what you have to do: SLOW DOWN. You should be running 80% of your runs at a conversation pace.

Time to Pick a Church // Faith
If your "church hopping" goes from weeks... to months... to years... it's time to pick one. Yes, you need to find a biblically sound church. But obsessing over your preferences (worship style, entertainment ability from pastor, people who are "like you") is not what you are called to do as a Christian. You will never experience the beautiful nature of the body of Christ until you go all in. Just pick one:)
