I'm sooo glad to see the end of a six year winter (drought) in my life. This wilderness season has been extremely challenging to survive, not to mention attempting to lead others while navigating. Over the course of these six years, I've seen some loved ones take their final breath, I've consoled true friends who have lost their children/spouses/parents, I've opened and closed companies (and opened more companies), I've watched two of my adult children pull completely away from my side of their family because they don't have language for their trauma yet, I've held extremely tough conversations with my wife, I've moved my family across the country and back just in time for her to care for her dying mother (losing both parents within five years), I’ve become a caregiver to my beautiful wife (which neither of us could've ever seen coming), I've cut ties with deadweight ppl who refused to grow, I've also walked away from some amazing ppl because I was bleeding and they didn't have the bandwidth to triage my wounds. All while being human and dealing with my perception of other ppl's perception of me through it all. The most prideful and insecure edges of me no longer exist. The persistent applied pressure of sandpaper has produced a smooth surface. And at the same time, it has also produced a sweet manifestation of humility, a clarity of self-awareness, self-confidence, and a clearer understanding of the macro as it pertains to my teeny tiny micro. Out of nowhere, it got better; like inexplicably better. Attitude has a great deal to do with how one measures "better". But I can assuredly say that I am walking in a season of favor, goodness, and mercy. Big things to celebrate are just ahead. To anyone currently in a wilderness or entering into a wilderness season, I offer this free advice for anyone a few steps behind me who will listen. First, own it (the brutal reality of how much it sucks to be there, own it!). Second, humble yourself, don't lose yourself. Figure out the difference if you are unclear. Third, know that it is not designed to kill you, but to bring out the best version of you (not the you you've pretended to be). Fourth, rock and be uniquely you. That's my secret sauce because nobody can beat me at being me. And lastly, the most challenging thing about waiting is the WEIGHT you're required to balance without having any answers. Faith is proven by the steps you do or don't take without a definitive answer before you move. I'm pulling for you! Peace

I pray that every man is blessed and moving through whatever wilderness you may be going through. Take joy in the fact that as long as you are moving you will come out. Seasons change and troubles don’t last always. Be strong and courageous. Part of healing is learning to forgive yourself. We are often told to show each other grace and forgiveness. But we also owe ourselves grace and forgiveness. We change what we have the power to to change and let God handle the rest. 💪🏾

I remember a pastor once said it is hard being a man but somebody has to be one. God created us to be men knowing that we could handle all that comes with it. But some how we have been infiltrated by the world and its ways. Causing us to fall below God’s original standard of who He created us to be. We are brothers not born from the same mother. But we were born to lead to connect with one another to help one another. To grow and to flourish and in order to do that we must examine ourselves and be real about who and what we see. Change is up to us no excuses no exceptions we are men created in the image and likeness of God.

Many men walk around hurting and we mask it in various ways. Work, food, smiles and anger just to name a few. The world says be strong as men we can’t show any signs of weakness. And while we may appear to be strong on the outside. We are hurting and dying on the inside. First we need to be honest about the pain and hurt that we feel. Then we need to go to the root of the pain and deal with it. Through prayer discussions and admitting that there is an issue and that you want to fix it instead of numbing the pain. This is a perfect platform to do that. We are brothers who understand because we to have hurts and pains struggles and hardships. So who better to give support to each other. Be open Be honest stand up and know the fight is ours as much as it is yours. Am I my brothers keeper? Yes I am!
