In this short December episode, I share the 7 mantras my family lives by — phrases that guide how we treat one another, view challenges, and stay grounded in faith. I’ll tell you how these mantras came to be, how they hang on our entryway wall, and how you can create your own “doorframe truths” that shape your family’s legacy.

In this episode:

• The story behind creating our family mantras
• 7 specific mantras we live by:
  1. Everybody is capable of change
  2. You are never as good or as bad as they say you are
  3. Your mic is always hot
  4. What can I learn here?
  5. What does God say about me?
  6. What value can I add?
  7. Zoom out
• How to use these mantras in real life
• The Deuteronomy 6:9 reminder: “Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.”
• A simple challenge: brainstorm 3–5 of your own family mantras this week

Verse:
 Deuteronomy 6:9 — “Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.”
