While working in the yard, this thought came to me about our personal growth. Many of us may or may not like the idea of wanting or needing to grow. Is it necessary for what's ahead? Absolutely! Is it all peaches and cream? Nope. Matter of fact, there will be potholes, hills and valleys ahead. But we need to look at the possibilities of what's on the other side.Do you really want to go? If so, are you ready for the cuts?

Great conversation with Raymond D Kemp, Fleet Master Chief USN (Ret) of Kemp Solutions. Leadership, value added, "Why" discovery, rising tide and much more discussed.

Mastering the path of leadership, Kemp works to help others find their 'Better Way'.

Connecting with Jeff Castellanos of ICON Consultants this week. Listen in as he discusses family, career goals, and God. Having priorities set, creates room for the "main thing to remain the main thing".

Guys, we often take our cave experience as a place to drown in our sorrows. So many issues in life can make us want to give up. You're not alone.

The prophet Elijah (1 Kings 19:9), literally in a cave, heard the voice of our sovereign God. Dealing with a personal threat upon his life, believing himself to be the only prophet left, he could have thrown in the towel.

Men, you are not the only one dealing with hurt, rejection, loss of finances, divorce, brokenness, trauma. As God told Elijah, I've hidden away other just like you for a great purpose. Don't count yourself out.

One thing I believe we all understanding better during Covid-19 was our own personal space. Having to stand three of six feet behind someone, in hopes to ensure no one gets sick.

Our personal space became more precious that we ever thought it would. As we grow, allowing or disallowing others into that area helps us to florish or not.

Growth, relationships and breathing all occur in that area.

How do you operate in that space?

The key to any one man navigating life is his true identity. With that, he's now able to walk more confidently into what he has been called to.

Gideon was that man. After receiving that one word from God, he walked towards his purpose.

Today I'm just sharing what really blessed my heart over the Christmas holiday. Hope that every father or grandfather uses their time wisely when spending time with their children of all ages. For me, I dream of seeing all of our children and grandchildren at one table during a family meal. This past week, God showed me a glimpse of that very seed coming to fruition. 

Just as God told Abram(Abraham) that he will be a father of many nations, my wisdom and experience will also help to build nations within our family tree.
