When I go on a trip, or I'm in a tough season, or making a life transition, I will pick a song to play on repeat during that time. Then, in the future, when I listen to that song again, I can remember the trip/season so much more clearly. This helps me process emotions and experiences as well, both good and bad. I recently attended the Black Sheep Club retreat with @David Maus Jr and 10 other amazing men. I played a song on repeat during my time in Florida that I just happened to hear for the first time on the first day of my trip. Funny enough, it was the actual band playing live which made it pretty impactful. It has established a greater posture of gratitude in my life. I'm sure some of you have heard it but for me it has a timestamp on my life now that I'm very thankful for. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbGFYaA0SbY I have a whole list of songs I can listen to that bring back significant times of my life. I just wanted to share this with you all, because I think it is different but powerful, and you might want to try it for a season you are going through or a trip that you go on. I'd love to hear your feedback!

If you’re here, chances are you’ve felt it before. That quiet sense of not quite fitting the mold. That nudge to take a different path, even when it doesn’t make sense to everyone else. That tension between what’s expected of us and what we feel God calling us toward. This space, Right Here, exists for that exact reason. This isn’t a place to impress anyone. It's not about cliche motivation or pretending we have it all figured out. It’s a room for men who think differently. Who feel early. Who know what they should do, but don’t want to walk it alone. Here’s how we keep this space solid: • We’re honest • We’re respectful • We’re present • We speak from our own experience • We leave people better than we found them Let’s get this started 👇 Introduce yourself below: 1. Where you’re from 2. What made you realize you might be a “black sheep” 3. What season of life or decision you’re currently navigating No pressure to overshare. Just be real. This community will only be as powerful as we choose to make it. Glad we’re here. We’re not early. We’re not late. We’re right on time. Let’s walk this road together. 🤝

I don’t need success to be happy. I don’t need more to be satisfied… Being honest, I was heading in that direction, watching others, feeling behind, stressing… and that did nothing but take my attention away from my walk, my journey, my life. It made my days dark and bent my mind. I remembered the most important lesson that I had already learned numerous times, “keep your eyes fixed on Jesus and you will walk on water”. So that’s what I’m working on. I would rather live my life chasing the light than spend the rest of it sitting in darkness. And that makes me happy 🫶🏽 *Not written, prompted, or manipulated by AI. This was my genuine heart posture this morning. Appreciate your prayers, love, and support. Or not, throw some shame or hate my way if that makes you feel special. I need practice not letting that get to me anyway.

Haven't been in in a while and tbh David's Retreat reflection drew me back in today. I just want to honor him and his obedience to the Lord and how he is being called up. It inspires me. Causes me to ask God about where and how He wants me to move in my life in this season of preparation. Keep going my brother. You are crushing it.
