I was thinking of adding a specific category to our community conversations that most people might be interested in. I was thinking something everyday life, hobbies like stocks, investing, golf, sports etc….. Something we all can have a side bar convo if there’s interest!!! What’s some things that you all are highly interested or passionate about and find yourself talking about often? Share them in the comments!!

I had the chance to join Beyond the Finish Line recently, and the conversation lined up perfectly with what we’re building here in Mission’s Purpose — growth, ownership, and the courage to step into the next version of yourself. We talked about the endurance mindset I’m leaning into while training for my first 100‑mile ultramarathon. Not the highlight‑reel stuff, but the real work: confronting self‑imposed limits, committing before confidence shows up, and choosing presence over perfection. The same principles many of us learned in uniform… and the same ones we sometimes forget to apply to our own lives. What stood out most was this simple truth: showing up changes everything. Not because it guarantees success, but because it keeps you moving toward who you’re becoming. Whether you’re rebuilding, reinventing, or stepping into a new chapter, the reps of showing up matter more than feeling “ready.” If you’re training for something big, thinking about starting again, or just trying to live with more intention, this episode might give you the nudge you need. Your story isn’t finished — and you still get to shape it. If you listen, I’d love to hear what part hits home for you. https://open.spotify.com/episode/34KUVNCnMoqVQ6n89L9zPs?si=kPJwExxaQWKwZbHP4H8etw

Apologize for my absence team. Work, life, and family has been extremely busy.

That is definitely one of my weaknesses and your words helped me understand it better. @Jerrod Hardy @Garrett Pastor Jerrod, did you almost shit your pants when Garrett revealed the person he’d like to have dinner with? 🤣

The difference between Happiness and Joy One is external and one is internal One is results driven and one is process driven We can choose how which we experience as life throws things our way.
