Well⌠here we go. My first real post in this new Skool space â and before anything else, I want to call out the three people sitting in the front row with me:
- Lance â a steady face from my glamping community.
- Tom â a friend from my old Focus on the Family days, back when computers were heavier and we were lighter.
- Andra â who knew me in high school, long before glamping, Skool, or 16 kids were even a glimmer in my future.
Honestly, I couldnât ask for a stronger trio to kick off something new. You three are the perfect âroommatesâ for this fresh start.
Hereâs the truth: I originally launched this space as a book club. And on paper, it sounded great. But the more I thought about it, the more my gut twisted. Reading is sacred to me â part morning ritual, part spiritual practice, part quiet wrestling with life. The idea of handing that over to a group vote? Letâs just say it lasted about 24 hours. Even my mom wouldnât join. That shouldâve been my warning sign. đ
So I pivoted. Hard.
And whatâs emerging feels right: This is going to be a place for your growth, not just my reading list.
A place where the daily posts, the weekly conversations, and the archived writings serve as tools for your thinking, your reflection, your clarity, your purpose. I want this community to be a little refuge â not loud, not chaotic, just a thoughtful corner of the internet where we go a little deeper than the usual scroll.
Hereâs what youâll get in this space:
- Access to my archives: old blog posts, essays, spiritual reflections, teaching materials, and decades of writing Iâve never had a home for.
- Weekly âcoffee shopâ discussions: optional, relaxed, a chance to sit and talk about life, purpose, business, faith â whateverâs stirring in our week.
- Daily insights: small sparks to help you think, grow, or take that next step forward.
But the best part â the real value â is the people in the room. And right now, thatâs you three.
If this place helps you grow, reflect, find clarity, or simply enjoy a thoughtful conversation, then itâs doing exactly what it should
.
Thanks for jumping in with me at the beginning. Letâs see what this becomes.
