In today's episode, we get to meet and get to know Todd Holubec. Todd and his family are faithful partners of The Grove. Todd serves in many ways and is part of the Men's Leadership Team. Today, you will hear his story of his journey of faith, marriage, parenting, adoption, love for the outdoors and more. 

As you listen, think about these 3 challenges. 

1. Accountability. Todd's life was changed because of other men holding accountable to his pursuit of Jesus. This is massively important for each of us. Do you believe you need accountability (hint: you do)? Who are your accountability partners? Who do you need enlist as your accountability partner? No more waiting... go do it. 
2. Life can come at you fast. Todd was stepping into multiple roles of leadership professionally, in church and then began the process of adoption. Todd's reliance on the Lord was what held him together. Even in the questions and daunting tasks, the Lord continued to move him forward. Consider what your foundation is for your life. Is it built on self reliance or reliance and trust in the Lord? What needs to change to be fully reliant? 
3. Todd loves the outdoors. He said he feels close to the Lord when he is outside observing creation. What environment do you feel most close to the Lord in? Why do you think that is? We all need that place that we can retreat and be fully present and observing the move and power of God. If you don't have that space, define it and get after it.
