Debra Fileta Quote
I couldn’t agree with this more. I don’t think any conflict in my life has been made better by waiting for the “right time” and that’s most true in my marriage. It’s like a water leak or a knock in the engine; get in the right mindset and start working on it until it’s fixed.…

Plugged In by Dr. Daniel Strange
This was a pretty interesting quote from “Plugged In” by Dr. Daniel Strange. The chapter was speaking to what kind of culture we as Christians should allow into our homes. Rather than provide a typical response (“watch this but not that”) he posed this statement which changes the question from “what should I allow” to…

Powersource – None of Your Business
My wife and I really enjoyed the message and the whole service at @powersourceva ; the middle school ministry at @thomasroad. It’s a simple message. If more people could recognize when they’re taking direction from their emotions and not thinking clearly, I could see a world with less regret and unintended consequences. One of my favorite quotes that…

School of Greatness #763
Man, I know I’m late on this one but I found this podcast by @lewishowes (I now have ~100 episodes queued 😬) and his interview with @erwinmcmanus and it is total 🔥🔥🔥. This quote is a singular moment in a stream of quotes about God, Jesus, the broken-hearted, and the desires we all have that Jesus placed in us.…

Battle Ready Podcast
I know I already made an Erwin McManus post this week but here’s another one! At least I got his current hair style right in this one?! Battle Ready is an interesting podcast with @erwinmcmanus and @aaroncmcmanus. I’ve never known the struggle of trying to raise the kind of money they talk about and the description of it…

Friday Habit – Episode 2
Such a great podcast by @btmanley and @Marklab2 – I’m changing my Friday right now! https://www.thefridayhabit.com/episodes-collection/strategies-to-beat-procrastination

Perspective Collective – Iron Bean Coffee
Scotty always brings the fire with the @perspectivepodcastbut this one is special to me. In episode 157 he spoke with Fred and Chanell Dedrick; founders of the @ironbeancoffeecompany and it is SO GOOD. There’s a lot of stuff in there about entrepreneurship and following your dreams and all that but what really stood out to me was the…

@DHH – Tweet
This tweet by @dhh has stuck with me for the last few days because I’m 100% the “it depends” guy. It keeps me out of conflict but at the cost of my voice.

Master of One – Jordan Raynor
The paragraph on avoiding side paths is worth the price of the book for me. Master on One by @jordanraynor
-
Call To Mastery – Luke LeFevre
“And He will manifest His creation through us.” I’m currently reading “Called to Create” by @jordanraynor so I naturally gravitated to his podcast and it is such an encouraging and wonderful show! I just finished listening to the episode with @lukelefevre and I really enjoyed him talking about his life and experiences. This quote in particular stuck with me…

Finish by Jon Acuff
Here’s a visual summary of the book Finish by @jonacuff ! If you struggle with perfectionism, pick up this book. It’ll read your mind, it’ll give you real tactics to deal with your perfectionistic tendencies, and it’ll make you laugh because there are some ridiculous analogies in there. Seriously; so good!

Finding Your Artistic Voice – Lisa Congdon
Finding Your Artistic Voice by @lisacongdon ! This book was generously given to me by the super awesome @prspctv_cllctv and I tore through it pretty quickly. Letting go of perfectionism keeps coming up over and over again in the books that I’m reading so it’s nice to know I’m not the only one who struggles with this sort of…

Hanselminutes – Myself
Episode 719 of Hanselminutes by @shanselman is SO GOOD! I took so many notes and what I have barely scratches the surface. I don’t usually post development-type stuff here but this crosses a lot of boundaries (in a good way!) https://hanselminutes.com/719/myself-its-not-weird-at-all

Keep Going – Austin Kleon
Austin Kleon wrote Steal Like an Artist which sits prominently on my tiny bookshelf next to The War of Art; it’s so good. Keep Going is a book written in the same vein, it’s easy to read, highly motivational and tactical, and gives you something new and actionable each time you read it. I really…

So Much More – Conversations and Commitments
It was another packed message on Sunday at Thomas Road Baptist Church! I always check the sermon notes before the message starts to see what I’m getting into (Thomas Road is the only church I’ve found that publishes their notes ahead of time which is MUCH APPRECIATED) and looking at these notes I found myself…

Perspective Collective – Lisa Congdon
I was feeling a little discouraged today and then I heard this line in the @prspctv_cllctv podcast with @lisacongdon. It’s amazing how a word heard at the right time can totally change your mood. 😅 https://www.perspective-collective.com/perspectivepodcast/153

I Will Teach You To Be Rich – Ramit Sethi
I made another book summary; if you want to get your financial house in order read “I Will Teach You to be Rich” by @ramit. It’s hilarious and highly tactical at the same time!
-
So Much More – A Walk in the World
Charles Billingsley preached at Thomas Road Baptist Church on Sunday and brought the 🔥! The sermon was great, loaded with exposition and motivation. This is the first in a series of spiritual disciplines that will be preached about over the next month. Sermons like this can be difficult for me because I start writing down…

Atomic Habits by James Clear
This book…man, it’s packed full of realistic habit changing fuel that you can apply to your life today. Seriously. It’s almost a reference manual in that there are so many good ideas and tactics that are explained in a simple and clear manner. Here are some of the most salient points that stuck out to…

Parables
I illustrated a great message from Wilson Community Church down in North Carolina. Pastor Jonathan Minter was actually my boss way back in the day when I got my first development job and was instrumental in me starting this sketchy sermons journey. Definitely a recommended message because I thought I knew the parable of the…

The Most Important Thing
I love so much about this sermon; personally I get wrapped up in new iPhones and pens and other stuff that really doesn’t matter all that much beyond the point of purchase. Great sermon Pastor Jonathan!

Sing Noel – Joy to the World!
Joy to the world! Not much to say here; between Pastor Jonathan’s teaching and the actual words of the song I would only have inadequate words to describe this event we celebrate every year. Another great sermon in a great series at Thomas Road Baptist Church! https://watch.trbc.org/media/t/1_jy9aw7qj/116662521
