Culture fixates on the externals, but it’s what’s going on inside that will elevate (or derail) your life. While restoring his 1978 Jeep CJ-7, BT took apart the engine, only to discover that things inside were not as good as they appeared. Connecting this physical reality to the spiritual, he shares 7 ancient practices proven to move your life forward. You don’t need a shiny coat of paint if your engine is gunked up. Instead, focus on improving the internals, and everything else will fall into place.

Your conscience is a powerful, God-given tool—when you listen to it (and take action), it can lead to a better life. As he rehabs the brake lines and regulator on his 1978 Jeep CJ-7, BT explains how this critical piece works like your conscience, which regulates your impulses and emotions. Just like the brakes, it is vital to a life that is moving forward.

It doesn’t matter what the exterior looks like, a vehicle with an empty tank isn’t going to run. Working on the gas tank for his 1978 Jeep CJ-7, BT asks a pointed question: what’s in your tank? The ability to recognize the state of your tank (full, half-full, or empty) and know how to fill it again is a crucial skill for a life that’s moving forward and taking new ground. Recorded live in his garage, BT shares some thoughts about what will, and what won’t, fill your tank.

When BT found his dream restoration vehicle, a 1978 Jeep CJ-7, he had no idea just how much time, effort, and money it would cost him. But with his eyes focused squarely on the end goal, he kept moving forward, even when it was uncomfortable and difficult. Recorded live in his garage, he explains how the physical reality of counting the costs of this project directly mirrors the spiritual principle of what it takes to follow Jesus.

Fatherhood is a fight to the finish, but how do you know if you are winning? In this live talk, recorded at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Brian unpacks the three F’s that all great fathers do. They (a) follow a framework, (b) they stand tall as a figure worth emulating, and (c) they finish. Whether you are a biological dad or not, you can still be a father that has a profound impact on the world.
