Morning Reflection: It can be easy to miss what God is doing right in front of me.
The Pharisees wanted another sign.
The crowd worried about bread. I sometimes forget how faithful God has already been.
Psalm 37 reminds me not to worry about evil or outcomes.

I've built my audience saying what others won't.
Lost followers when I spoke on faith.
Passed on trends that felt hollow.
But the people who stayed? They're the ones who believe in the mission.
A smaller audience that trusts you will always outperform a large one that doesn't.

Your resume lists credentials.
Your story shows transformation.
People don't connect with what you've achieved.
They connect with who you were when you started.
What it cost to get here.
The pivots.
The failures.
The moments you almost quit.
That's the bridge.

Morning Reflection: I can look clean on the outside and still drift on the inside.
Jesus confronts the Pharisees in Matthew 15 and reminds me that defilement starts in the heart, not in my habits.

Morning Reflection: Fear shrinks my faith faster than storms ever could.
Peter stepped out in courage, but when he saw the wind, he sank.
That's how quick my focus can shift from Jesus to the waves around me.

Morning Reflection: I see a contrast today between fear and trust.
Herod reacts to guilt and insecurity.

Some have asked how I dropped 50 lbs & got my numbers under control.
It wasn't complicated.
1️⃣ Zero weight loss drugs.
2️⃣ Whole foods (keto).
3️⃣ Moved my body daily.
The old-fashioned way still works when you work it.

Morning Reflection: God’s kingdom is worth everything.
The man sells all for the treasure.
The crowd in Ephesus holds on to what feels profitable and familiar.
One choice leads to joy. The other to chaos.

Morning Reflection: God’s kingdom grows alongside resistance.
Wheat and weeds share the same field for a season.
God isn’t rushed, anxious, or threatened by the mess I see around me.
I’m reminded that my role isn’t to control outcomes or expose every flaw.

Most people don’t fail ethically in big moments.
They drift in small ones.
Pressure doesn’t build character, it reveals it.
