Today I'm joined by Bro. Kyle and we're talking about elevating your starting point.

In leadership, growth rarely happens in comfort. The line between ordinary and exceptional often lies in where we place our baseline—our mental standard for what’s normal, acceptable, and sustainable. For most people, discomfort signals it’s time to stop. But for elite leaders—like the Navy SEALs—discomfort is where the work begins. Their baseline isn’t comfort, it’s hardship. And that mental shift makes all the difference.

To lead at a higher level, you must learn to reset your baseline. What you consider difficult today should become your new normal tomorrow. This article explores how leaders can adopt that mindset and push beyond self-imposed limits. 

Some of the things we try to cover:

• Identify Your Current Baseline
• Shift From Comfort-Seeking To Capacity-Building
• Sustain The New Baseline Through Rhythms and Systems

Today I'm joined by Aaron & Brent, and we're talking about our recent Conference Children's Church.

Every August, our church in Chehalis, WA, hosts a Youth Conference, and on Thursday night and Friday night, we have Children's Church.

This year was a Gladiator theme and Apostle Paul.

We sat down to kind of recap some of the highlights from this year.

Today I'm joined by Bro. Phillip Booker and we're talking about all those things it takes to make anything worthwhile happen.

We often admire overnight success stories, dramatic transformations, and life-changing decisions made in a single moment. But true, lasting success doesn’t arrive with a bang — it’s built brick by brick, decision by decision. It’s not one big thing; it’s a thousand little things. Every time you delay action, you defer progress. Every time you give in to laziness, you subtly disrespect the people who believe in your potential. Ministry leadership isn’t found in the grand moments — it’s forged in the daily grind. If something is worth doing, it’s worth starting today. 

Some of the things we try to cover:

• Ministry Is Built In Small Steps, Not Giant Leaps
• Laziness Undermines Trust and Potential
• Urgency Creates Movement, and Movement Creates Results

Today I'm joined by Bro. Aaron and we're talking about checklists and systems.

Leadership success, whether in business, ministry, or personal development, doesn’t usually arrive like a lightning bolt. More often, it’s the result of steady, persistent effort—an accumulation of small, intentional actions that compound over time. 

While we often celebrate big breakthroughs, it’s the behind-the-scenes discipline—the systems, processes, and yes, the humble checklist—that quietly drives greatness. 

Some of the things we try to cover:

• Greatness is built on small things
• Systems deserve micromanagement
• Checklists shape culture
