If you believe God is all powerful then you can also believe that God can change your community, state, country, and beyond. The stubborn friend you have, his heart could be softened. Perhaps your perspective on life is just too small.

I teased video in the beginning of this episode - it was a good test and video is coming. Just not quite there yet.

As for the episode itself, the first half recaps some of my experience heading to an Initiative 2081 hearing while the second half I talk about why this matters and why you should get involved if you haven't already in your local political system.

Sometimes we esteem our reputation more than we realize and often to our detriment. If every decision you ever make is one that the majority of people in the world would approve of, or perhaps majority of people in YOUR world would approve of, you may be playing it too safe. Just some food for thought...

A morning routine centered around Jesus is the best way to start your day, from personal experience I can attest to the fact it will impact the rest of your day. Here's a short list of tips.

1. The best morning starts the night before, get to bed at a decent time. Minimize your screen exposure in the hours before bed.
2. Set multiple alarms if you have to, don't put these alarms so close that it's easy for you to hit snooze. Make it difficult to deviate from your morning plan.
3. Let certain things become ritualistic to your morning routine. For me it looks like this, alarm 1 off, alarm 2 (different location in home) off, brush teeth, hydrate (min 24oz water), get hot cup of coffee, head to location I already set up the night before for my time with the Lord.
4. Ditch the phone. Remove distractions from this time and space.
5. Don't compare your morning routine and amount of time with Jesus to anyone. Quality is better than quantity. Time is something you can add as you build this habit.
