I was driving Uber yesterday and had one of my favorite rides in a long time. A couple got into my car, and for whatever reason, the woman and I instantly started talking about God. Whenever that happens, it's incredibly interesting. We spent nearly the entire hour talking
Over the past few years, I've had to pay much closer attention to my health—especially my mental health. I live with depression and anxiety. Living with these challenges can be exhausting. Some days are good, while others feel like a roller coaster. In my case, there is
This weekend was Father’s Day weekend. It turned out to be a beautiful weekend—one I didn’t plan myself. My father took care of everything. He picked out a beautiful house on a lake and even drove the entire way there and back. We spent time outdoors, hiked
As America approaches its 250th birthday, it seems our biggest political question is: Are you a Republican or a Democrat? It's worth remembering that even George Washington warned that political parties could eventually undermine what the Founders had worked so hard to create. The reason is surprisingly simple.
Jesus wasn’t on my list when He found me. On my list was: Dream house ✔️ Financial security ✔️ Family ✔️ Golden Retriever ✔️ I thought I had finally reached solid ground. My firm foundation. I was wrong. That’s when the rug got pulled out from under me. Finances. Family. House. Gone.

The past few weeks have been pretty interesting. Logan decided he wants to be a golfer, so we’ve been spending our early spring out at the driving range. Honestly, he’s pretty good for someone who’s never even held a club before. Golf has never really been my
One of my most successful friends came to visit me unexpectedly. It’s funny—I met him back when he was still in college, before he had built anything. Since then, he’s experienced the kind of wild success most people only dream about. But anyone who’s seen that
For those of you that don't know what an angel tree is: It’s a Christmas tree set up during the holidays with something called angel tags. The tags have just four simple pieces of information: the person’s name, address, and what they need (not want) for
Somewhere along the way, the hiring process forgot it involves humans. You apply. Silence. Then—progress! A Calendly link appears, like a digital breadcrumb. You take the meeting. It goes well.
