Worked outside in the rain all day, so tonight called for NFL, vinyl, and an IPA. Spinning the British prog oddity Gryphon – Red Queen to Gryphon Three and sipping Jester King’s Garymancer, a dank, hoppy hit.

The world won’t fall apart if you rest, but you might fall apart if you don’t.

Let today be slower.

Quieter.

Gentler.

Your mind, body, and spirit will thank you.

Here is your reminder to rest.

Gratitude.

It’s amazing how something so small can make such a profound difference.

A moment of gratitude won’t erase our challenges, but it can change our posture or approach toward them.

The smallest seed of gratitude can shift the weight of an entire day.

The struggle ends when gratitude begins. — (Neale Donald Walsch)

Gratitude isn't just a feeling. It's a decision that transforms your perspective and your path forward.

What are you grateful for today?

You are not falling behind when you rest; you are quietly refueling for what matters most.

Take one thing off your plate today. Breathe. Let yourself catch up.

You are not a machine. You don’t need to earn the right to rest.

Rest sharpens perspective, restores creativity, and reminds you that your worth isn’t tied to productivity.

Take the pause. You’ll lead, love, and live better because of it.

Sunsets are loved because they vanish. - (Ray Bradbury)

Some moments don’t ask to be captured, only noticed. And I noticed on my way to Idaho today.

Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can. — (Arthur Ashe)

I love this quote because it cuts through all the excuses we make about not being ready.

Not enough money? Start anyway.

Not enough time? Use what you have.

Not enough experience? Do what you can.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer once wrote,

“In ordinary life, we hardly realize that we receive a great deal more than we give, and that it is only with gratitude that life becomes rich.”

What blessings are you overlooking today?

Max DePree once wrote, “We cannot become what we want by remaining what we are.”

Authentic leadership and true faith are both journeys of transformation.

Leaders need quiet spaces to think, pray, and reflect. Stillness isn’t withdrawal at all. It’s preparation.

The most meaningful movement often begins in stillness.

After several weeks serving and traveling through the Philippines and Japan, I’ve returned home deeply reminded that reflection is a form of growth.

Travel slows us down long enough to see what’s been in front of us all along.

How has travel (or change) reshaped your perspective lately?

Life’s harvest is not measured only by what we gain, but by what we give away.

As we reflect this season, we’re reminded that true abundance is found in generosity. What we release often multiplies far beyond what we keep.

What have we gathered this year?

More importantly, what have we shared?

#HappySunday. As we step into a new week, let’s remember:

“The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today.” — H. Jackson Brown Jr.

Where can you bring your best today?

Michael Gungor said: “Burnout is what happens when you try to avoid being human for too long.”

It’s a reminder that we weren’t made to run endlessly. Rest is not an interruption. It’s the design.

Taking time to pause today makes tomorrow stronger.

What looks like an ending is often just the seed of a new beginning waiting to be planted.

Take time to reflect today: what ending in your life might actually be the beginning of something better?

You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending." - C.S. Lewis

This Monday in September, let's harvest wisdom from our past and plant seeds for a different future. What ending are you writing today?

This quote cuts deep in a season like autumn. It's a time when efforts slow, evaluations begin, and we realize some fields didn’t produce what we’d hoped.

The harvest might not be external. It may be internal: patience, wisdom, deeper faith.

Leaders who reflect, grow.

Keep growing.

Just because your day was full doesn’t mean it was fruitful.

Take time this season to step back and ask:
What’s growing in your life?
What’s bearing fruit?
What’s just noise?

Not all motion is progress.

Remember to take the time evaluate the fruit, not just the busyness, or your efforts.

“Reflection turns experience into insight.” — John C. Maxwell

September invites us to slow down and look back—not to get stuck in the past, but to glean the wisdom that’s been hiding in plain sight.

Your life has been speaking.
Have you been listening?
September 3, 2025 at 4:15 PM
Remember: You can’t reap peace if you’ve sown hurry.

September gives us a chance to check what we've been planting all year in our habits.

Let’s take time this season to slow down, evaluate, and harvest what really matters.

A gentle reminder: Rest isn’t laziness—it’s fuel.

Take time to recharge, because you can’t pour from an empty cup.

Taking time to recharge isn’t a sign of weakness—it’s what equips us to lead and serve at our best.

What’s one way you’re recharging this weekend?

We all wait for the right moment. The perfect sign. The green light.

But what if the moment you’re in is already enough?

Don’t wait for perfect. Take action—and perfect that.

Winding down a busy Sunday with #VinylAndBeerSunday. Still smiling from catching Chicago at Musikfest in Bethlehem, PA - so tonight I’m spinning their gargantuan set Live from Carnegie Hall. Pairing it with Hop Butcher For the World—All Directions At Once, a fantastic brew with a bright finish.
