The FIRE Framework: Craig’s Rite of Alignment To Date
FRAME: Truth Revealed - The Situation: Balancing a busy career, One growing businesses, and One on hold (Big Skye Dumpsters and Legacy), and the spiritual leadership of your wife and two children - The Story: You might be telling yourself that the weight of these legacies depends solely on your "internal bracing" or your ability to perform perfectly. - The Fact: Righteousness is not about my moral polish; it is my alignment with God. I am covered by a breastplate I did not forge yourself—you received it. FEEL: Internal Response - The Sensation: Notice the "internal bracing"—the tension in my chest or shoulders when I think about the next business move or the pressure of the 12-week forge - The Observation: Am I feeling the weight of the armor, or the security of the covering? Recognize the difference between the anxiety of striving and the weight of glory. FACE: What Must Die - The Habits: The need to negotiate with temptation or the tendency to let "impulses rule" when the pressure of business gets high. - The Lie: The belief that I am unworthy if the "needle" doesn’t move fast enough in business. - The Death: Kill the "wounded boy" who seeks validation through performance. Let the "consecrated man" rise, who operates from a place of being already "made right". FORGE: Action & Commitment - The Move: Today, speak my identity out loud to the "One True King". Declaration - The Action: Specifically, choose where I have been "shrinking or delaying" - after listening to Sean's video I want to check myself to make sure I am not substituting "spiritual behavior" or acting "holy" for an actual heart to heart connection. Righteousness in the home is about relationship, not religious correctness.
