Even when it doesn’t seem realistic, even when it doesn’t make sense, I choose to walk by faith, not by sight. Why? Because I’ve seen the rain fall when we needed it, and there was nothing in the forecast or on the radar. Because I’ve never seen a squirrel or a bird go hungry. Because I’ve seen His faithfulness time, after time, after time. And if He will water the ground, feed the birds, and cause them to sing, He will take care of me. God is faithful. Always. In all things. Forevermore, my portion, my strength, my source. His goodness is running after me. I pray you experience this too! -ad not ai

"Adam, why are you living small? What is keeping you there?" As I considered this statement, I wondered what it would mean to live big, to live at my 100% potential. What keeps us living small? From my experience, it is FEAR. When we see an obstacle, a challenge, or adversity, our natural instinct is to shrink back and remain in safety or comfort. According to Dr. Andrew Huberman, this causes a part of our brain known as the anterior mid-cingulate cortex (aMCC) to shrink. We can make this part bigger and stronger with courageous action or smaller and weaker by allowing fear to dictate our decisions. In terms of faith, we live big when we choose to walk by faith and not by sight when we choose to BELIEVE instead of doubting when we choose to take God at His word instead of giving more faith in our circumstances. In terms of our minds, living small means living in fear. When facing a mountain of adversity or a massive challenge in some area of our lives, choosing to shrink back and live in fear is living small. On the contrary, however, when we choose to face the mountain head-on, to attack it with faith, we live to the fullest. How often does scripture say "do not fear" or "do not be afraid"? There are many benefits to a strong aMCC. And while it is known widely to be the central hub of human willpower, strengthening it takes us to the benefits of improved cognitive function, decision-making, and tenacity. What area of your life has fear ruled? How can you attack that area right now, today, with courage rooted in faith?

If you’re married, read on. If you’re not, disregard. One of the greatest things I learned about marriage (and no I don’t have it all figured out), is a lesson from a retired US Navy SEAL. He stood in his kitchen as I talked with him. But he wasn’t just standing there. He had a towel over his shoulder. “You know, Adam, your wife doesn’t need a warrior in the home. Lay down your gear at the door, and serve her. That’s what she wants.” Bro. He hit me out of left field with that! We weren’t event talking about marriage! Was this a sign? A word from God? What? What is this? I’m slow. I don’t even mean that remotely funny. So I had to digest it. But when I began to love her in a covenant manner, serve her, and lead her, it transformed our relationship. Friendship? Renewed. Communication? Still working on it, but we talk openly and friquently. Sex? 💣 🔥 Leading her means serving her. And serving her means not doing things expecting anything in return. If you’d like to work one on one with me to experience transformation in your marriage (hint: it starts with you) let me know. I’m not a therapist, but I use my mistakes, pains, and lessons to help you experience victory without losing it all. Lay down your gear at the door! Serve her. Much love brothers. Adam
