Gentlemen, hail and well met. I’m going to pause this group for now. The truth is, none of us needs another group sitting idle in the background, and I do not want this to become just that. I appreciate each of you being willing to step in and give it a shot. My goal was simple: to create a strong point of connection for men. But from the sound of it, many of us are already plugged into other circles, and that is not a bad thing. Since this is also a paid service on my end, I’m at peace with letting it go if it is not truly filling a need. Thank you again for your willingness, your time, and your openness. I have no doubt our paths will cross again down the road. For those of you who are filmmakers, I do have the Fellowship of Christian Filmmakers on both Facebook and LinkedIn, and you are welcome to join us there.

Happy Easter! I hope you're enjoying the weekend and taking some time to yourself to reflect, because the 1st quarter of the year just wrapped... and I'd love to know: How's your year so far? Are you on track with your goals? Personally, I focus on 6 core areas: 1) Spiritual 2) Physical 3) Mental 4) Financial 5) Relational 6) Vocational

I watched a video where the guest talked about stoicism, and I immediately had a negative reaction to it. But, the more I listened, the more I began to agree with much of what it says. Stoicism says: - You cannot control most external events. - You can control your thoughts, choices, and responses. - A good life comes from character, not comfort. The main virtues in stoicism are wisdom, courage, justice, and temperance. A plain-English version would be: “Do not waste yourself fighting reality. Master yourself instead.” Here's where I think the Christian can align: Stoicism helps a man stand firm. Christianity tells him who he must stand under. Does that track?

Never miss two days in a row. It works for writing. It works for health. It works for business. Consistency compounds. But only if you're working on the right things.

What pit did God bring you out of that you may now be meant to reach back into and help someone else out of?
