Now That We're A Family

The Gospel of Jesus Christ and my family. That's what I want people to see me get most excited about when they are talking to me. That is definitely what I saw in Eric Ludy when I interviewed him last week. And this left a strong impression on me. After writing 27 books, discipling thousands of young people at the school he founded, and going on speaking tours around the world, it was clear to...

Hindsight is 20/20... or so they say. Looking back at our younger selves and all that we experienced, most of us would agree that there are some obvious changes we'd make nowadays. That being said, we ultimately understand the sovereign hand of God upon it all even when we didn't see it. Join us, as we discuss the advice we'd give our younger selves. - Top 5 Tuesday Join our weekly ema...

The new culturally embraced Webster's dictionary definition of vocation is "a strong feeling of suitability for a particular career or occupation."

Far too often we roll our eyes at the cliches and platitudes spoken on the topic of planning and scheduling. However, Katie and I have found that when we fail to plan, we plan to fail . . . and if we don't prioritize our life someone else will . . .and if we are aiming at nothing, we hit it every, single, time.    The Get It All Done Club Free Masterclass: https://nowthatwereafamily.lpages.co/...
