The Abundant Life Blueprint

Several years ago I went through a Miracle Year with God, and when I came out of that year, I felt God was saying that I was starting a Miracle Decade. Since that time it's been 6 years. In the Bible the 7th year was a year to let the land rest. With that in mind I feel God is asking me to take a year off from the Abundant Life Blueprint. This nudge came about 2 months ago, and in that time Kelvin Bergsten and I have done a lot of work to pivot our programs, and we feel we have created something that can be a real blessing for you. 

Here is what to expect this year: 

The concept of a Year of Rest finds its origins in the biblical "Sabbath Year" (Leviticus 25). Every seventh year, the land was to lie fallow—no planting, no pruning, and no harvesting. While it sounds counter-intuitive for a farmer, this period allowed the soil to recover nutrients, ultimately leading to a more abundant harvest in the following years.

For us today, a Year of Rest isn't about sitting on the couch for 365 days. It is a planned pause designed to:

Rest: Rest allows you to be refreshed.

Grow: Pursue personal enrichment, new hobbies, or creative projects.

Reset: Clarify future goals and recalibrate your internal compass.

It might feel like you’ll fall behind if you stop, but science and experience suggest the opposite.

Grace and blessing flow out of fullness. If your "cup" is empty because you've been grinding non-stop, you have nothing left to give to your family, your business, or your community. Taking a dedicated period of rest ensures you are operating from a place of overflow rather than exhaustion.

A tired brain is a foggy brain. Constant work narrows your perspective, while rest provides the "empty space" needed for innovative ideas to emerge. Many of the most successful entrepreneurs find their best ideas only after they've stepped away from the daily grind.

You don't have to quit your job tomorrow to benefit from these principles. You can start by installing smaller "Sabbath" rhythms:

The Weekly Reset: Dedicate one full day a week (a Sabbath) to activities that purely refresh you—whether spending time God, hiking, reading, or family fellowship.

The 6-on-1-off Rule: Work hard for six weeks, then take the seventh week as a "light" week with no heavy projects or intense training.

Rest In Your Soul: Take moments to pause and slow down during the day as a remembrance that God is the one doing the work through you.

The transition to install rhythms of rest is a step of faith. It requires trusting that you can achieve more in less time with God's help than you can on your own.

In our program The Abundant Life Blueprint we help you install rhythms of rest. To join the program go here. 

Years ago, I was searching for more.  I was running my personal training gym business, but I felt stressed out and was constantly toiling away in my mind, trying to figure everything out.  I knew there had to be a better way to live and more to life . 

It’s a common feeling. You know you have potential, you know you’re meant for more, but you feel stuck—like you’re wandering in a spiritual wilderness, unable to break through the obstacles holding you back.

If that sounds like you, this message is your starting line. This is the journey of how my friend Kelvin and I went from feeling stuck to developing a system for creating real life transformation, and how you can start today.

 My journey started when I stumbled upon a simple practice: reading one chapter from the Book of Proverbs every day .  This led me to Proverbs 13:22, which says: "A good man leaves an inheritance for his children's children." 

 That one verse changed my life .  It set me on a journey to think about the most valuable inheritance I could pass on to future generations.  Money can be spent or wasted, but wisdom, teaching, training, and systems could have a lasting impact across multiple generations . 

 My goal became clear: to pass on wisdom and systems for every area of life—not just health and fitness, but spirituality, mindset, purpose, family, and finances . 

 For 12 years, I tweaked, tested, and refined this approach until it became what we now call the Abundant Life Blueprint . But the real test came when I shared the core system with my friend, Kelvin. 

 Kelvin, a former college athlete who was leading a large business operation of around 400 people, came to me initially with severe neck pain .  I had written a book called Cracking Heaven's Code, which packaged health and fitness information from a biblical perspective . 

 Kelvin was dealing with chronic pain (level 7, 24/7) that was affecting every ounce of his being, and he was struggling .  When we started working together, I realized that combining the spiritual and mental aspects with his physical training could make a huge difference . Kelvin was the first person to implement the system with me, and the results were transformational:

Physical Healing: Kelvin went from suffering severe neck pain and being unable to walk one mile to completing a 100-mile hike on the Appalachian Trail .  God transformed and healed him . 

 Mental Breakthrough: Kelvin had been wanting to write a book for seven years, and within a couple of weeks of implementing the program, he was literally writing .  The roadblock was removed . 

 Emotional Stability: After struggling to maintain weight loss, Kelvin became stable, even during travel, which would normally cause him to regain weight . 

 These aren't just one-time results; they are the fruit of a system built on faith, focus, and consistency . 

 The core of our program is built on understanding God’s timing and following the pattern He used to lead people out of the wilderness and into the promised land . 

 The wilderness is not a bad place; it's a time of preparation and transformation to prepare you for what God has next .  Our first phase, The New You, mirrors the biblical number 40 (often tied to preparation) and is focused on installing your new identity in Christ . 

 The Problem: You are a new creation in Christ, but you likely still have old programming, patterns, and habits that keep resurfacing . 

 The Solution: We help you get crystal clear on who God created you to be and what you want out of life .  We provide a document preloaded with over 100 scriptural promises for every area of life to stand on that you'll customize to your unique vision. 

The Commitment: The amazing part? This transformation doesn't take hours.  It requires just 10 to 15 minutes of focused effort per day .  As Kelvin says, when you harness your focus, you can start a fire . 

 After you establish your foundation, we start following God’s pattern of the Jubilee Cycle (50 days) .  We take you through a series of 7 courses, working from the inside out, mastering one section at a time . 

 We encourage a pattern of six weeks on, one week off, to assess your progress and adjust your plan every 50 days . 

 The final phase is all about walking out the big vision God has for you—setting a generational vision that has a lasting impact . 

 The truth is, if nothing changes today, the next five years will look very similar to the last five . 

 Your part is simple: The Bible teaches us that all you need is a mustard seed amount of faith .  The 15 minutes a day represents that mustard seed .  You plant it, you water it, and God grows it . 

Don't wait for the next New Year's resolution. Don't let your old programming keep you stuck. Your purpose is waiting for you to get clear, get focused, and get started.

 You don't have to face the giants alone .  God won't take the challenges away, but He will give you the means to get through them . 

Your time for transformation is now.

The complete Abundant Life Blueprint program is waiting for you.

The journey is waiting.  Jump on in there and get started today!   

Merry Christmas!

Here is today's communion meditation

As we celebrate the birth of Jesus today let's remember the promise from Isaiah 61:7.

It says., "everlasting joy will be yours."

Think about the joy that children wake up with on Christmas. 

Are we consistently waking up with that kind of joy and expectancy?

Today's communion is a time of gratitude for Jesus. That God sent his son, light came into the world, and everlasting joy is ours. 

I hope you have a great day today!

Tuesday is a reminder that the way to get to the next level in anything is to make the most of your current level.

Make it a goal to transform every environment you go into...

We can transform our spiritual environment by beholding the glory of God.

We can transform our inner world by renewing our mind to God's love and truth.

We can transform our home, workplace, etc by creating more order and bringing peace and joy into the environment. 

We can also transform difficult or adverse situations, through God's grace, power, and wisdom that's within us.

With Christmas approaching I was thinking of John 1:14.

It says, "The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth."

In today's communion we are asking God to help us create transformation and it's a time of gratitude that God sent his Son to dwell among us. 

 Today's Health and Fitness Tip

If you are out of your normal workout routine this week, try incorporating bodyweight exercises like squats, pushups, abs, and lunges throughout the day. A few sets sprinkled in the day can add up.

Good morning!

Today is Memorial Monday - The Financial Accelerator. (You can learn more about the 7 Accelerators here)

Mondays are a reminder that a Memorial Portion, just one very small step of faith, can help you remember that God is with you and He's more than enough. One small step of faith can open up a supernatural flow of whatever you need. 

When Jesus multiplied the fish and loaves, it started with just a little bit of bread and fish. 

When the widow woman was down to her last meal Elijah had her make him a small cake first. 

If finances are tight... Give a few dollars.

If a relationship is strained... Do one small kind act for the person. 

If you are pressed for time... Give away a few minutes to someone else.

If something looks overwhelming take one small step in that direction. 

Here is today's communion meditation.

In Leviticus 20:8 God said, " I am the LORD, who makes you holy."

It is God who makes us holy, and he's given us his Holy Spirit. 

Hebrews 10:10 says, "we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all."

In today's communion we are asking God to help us give a memorial portion that is pleasing to him and to help us understand that He has made us holy once for all through the sacrifice of Jesus.

 We are close to the end of Hanukkah, also called the Festival of Lights, and it's almost Christmas.

Both are a reminder that light has come into the world, and God wants our light to shine brighter and brighter. 

Don't be surprised if God begins to give you increased light on what he has called you to do before the end of the year. 

In today's communion meditation we are asking God to help us speak life and it's a time to rejoice in Jesus, the light who came into the world.  

I am praying for you.

Daniel

Good morning!

This is the day the Lord has made, let's rejoice in it, and make today a masterpiece!

Today is Fellowship Friday - The Love Accelerator

1 John 1:7 says, "But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin." 

To walk in the light is also to walk in love, and the indicator is that we have fellowship with one another. 

The shortcut to walking in the light is gratitude. 

If there are any strained relationships, how could you take steps toward restored fellowship today?

Let's ask God to help us walk in the light and in fellowship the way he desires. 

Here is today's communion meditation.

We are currently in Hanukkah, which is called the Festival of Lights. During Hanukkah, an additional candle is lit every night as a reminder that our light should be growing brighter and brighter. 

In Matthew 5:16 Jesus said, "In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven"

In today's communion we are asking God to help us walk in greater fellowship and to help our light shine brighter and brighter. 

Today's Health and Fitness Tip

On those days when you don't feel like working out remember that God is supplying the strength and energy, and we can rely on him. On those days I like to start my workouts with a memorial portion. What small movement can I do to get started as a remembrance that God's supply is there. 

I am praying for you!

Do you ever feel like you’re walking through a thick mental fog? Whether you are trying to discern what God has called you to do, make a difficult decision, or simply get through your day without feeling overwhelmed, a lack of clarity can be paralyzing.

The truth is that clarity is not something you find by accident; it is a byproduct of position and order. Whenever you increase order in your life, you automatically increase your clarity.

The first step toward clarity is learning to recognize if you are "walking in the light". In the darkness, you are groping around, confused, and stumbling over things because you can't see the path. In the light, everything becomes visible.

Check Your Fellowship: The biggest symptom of walking in the light is having fellowship with God and others. Broken relationships act as a major blockage to clarity.

Restore Peace: Use humility, forgiveness, or repentance to mend relationships. You must do your part to restore peace, even if the other person stays in the dark.

Monitor Your Symptoms: If you feel stressed, confused, or low-energy, you are likely "out of position". Feelings of joy, gratitude, and fullness are signs that you are back in the light.

We often seek high-level clarity for the future while ignoring the things right in front of us. Procrastination creates a mental "blockage" that eats away at your clarity.

Clear the Blockages: Identify the small things you’ve been putting off—emails, chores, or minor tasks.

Take Action: When you chip away at the things you know you should be doing, it removes the weight from your mind and opens the door for higher-level insights.

Start Small: Even a five-minute task or a single physical movement (like one air squat) can break the cycle of stagnation.

Clarity follows a specific scientific principle modeled by liquid crystals, think LCD display on your phone screen. Liquid crystals have the ability to be highly flexible and adaptable(liquid) while also being very structured. We all need this same ability to be adaptable but structured. 

The Metaphor: When liquid crystals are disordered, they are cloudy and opaque. When they are ordered, they become perfectly transparent.

Set Boundaries: For liquid crystals to become ordered they must first have boundaries. You must create boundaries around your time and your wake-up routine to protect your mental state.

Seek Alignment: Once liquid crystals have a boundary then the must be aligned. This can be done in two different ways. One is to rub a cloth in only one direction along the glass. This creates small scratches or grooves that the crystals will use to align. The other method is to shine a polarized light across the glass. The light method is superior, and it is symbolic for us, in that we should be aligning ourselves with the light, with the truth of God's word. 

Order is not a one-time event; it must be defended. Because of entropy, everything in life naturally tends toward disorder if left alone. You must play "defense" daily by protecting your priorities.

The Priority Blueprint:

God First: Staying connected to the source of light.

Yourself: You cannot give out of an empty cup; you must stay healthy spiritually, mentally, and physically.

Relationships: Spouse, children, and then others.

Work and Ministry: These follow only after the primary relationships are in order.

Are you ready to move from a fog into the light? Clarity is waiting for you on the other side of order.

The Bible tells us that faith without works is dead.

But think about the reciprocal of this. It means that faith with works is alive, active, vibrant, and full of life. 

Faith with works will set you free.

In today's communion meditation we are asking God to help us do something thoughtful today and to help us have a faith that is alive.

  We are currently in the Feast of Hanukkah, and my daughter reminded me that when lighting the candles for Hannukah there is a candle called the helper candle. This is the candle that is used to light all the other candles. 

This reminded me of a couple of scriptures.

Proverbs 20:27 says, "The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly."

John 14:26 says, "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and remind you of all that I said to you."

In today's communion we are asking God to help us create transformation and teach us about the helper candle and about how the Holy Spirit is our helper.
