Protecting our sense of gratitude perpetuates our capacity to love

Ever notice how religion tends to reverse what the Bible actually says? Proverbs 17:22 says: “A joyful heart is good medicine.” But biblical dyslexia hears: “Wait until you’re healed… THEN you can be joyful.” That’s like the doctor saying, “Here’s your prescription—start taking it as soon as you’re completely better.” It makes zero sense when you actually think about it that way. Truth: Joy isn’t the reward for getting healed. Joy is the medicine that brings the healing. Right in the middle of the mess, the pain, the broken relationships—take the joy. Let His presence flood your heart NOW… and watch healing come. Stop waiting to rejoice until everything’s fixed. Start rejoicing and watch so it can get fixed. A joyful heart is good medicine—take it today. This is from my new course “The Grace-Filled Life” now available here in Skool for $33. Want in?

🚨 Parents — your kids don’t need a perfect superhero. They need to see you mess up… and fix it. This IG post is pure gold: When you openly handle a small failure, you’re teaching resilience, emotional regulation, and that mistakes = growth. Not lectures. Real-life modeling. Brain science proves it: Kids mirror how we navigate setbacks, not what we preach. We don’t want to be parents who hide their struggles. Who’s showing their kids the real you this week? https://www.instagram.com/p/DROPB6lCU_9/?igsh=MWs2cm16aWJ2Y2lteQ==

There’s a doctor who uses MRIs to look at the fat around his patients’ hearts, then gives them a plan to remove it. What if we could look into our hearts, not for the fat that leaks toxins or restricts its ability to pump blood, but to show us how well we handle the emotions we’ve experienced? What if we could know if our heart’s emotional state is leaking toxic behaviors and thoughts, and restricting our ability to live a full life? Well now we can, and we don’t need an MRI to do it. We created a 3 minute Emotional Wholeness Assessment that does just that! Here's the assessment

Sometimes a sense of superiority can creep into our relationships, where we start seeing ourselves as better than our spouse. We can then begin praying from that superior position, seeking God to change them and help them get better, so they can be more like what we want them to be. God resists the proud, and gives grace to the humble. A sense of superiority is only remedied with humility. Without humility, God will resist the very prayers we pray for our spouse to change.
