What an incredible Sunday diving into how to interpret the Bible in a way that actually sticks. Pastor @Mike Chiles shared a simple but powerful acronym: TAN ☀️ THEN – How did this principle or concept apply to the people living in that time? What was happening in their world? ALL TIME – What timeless truth or principle is being taught that applies across generations? NOW – How does this speak to me, my family, and my decisions today? That framework alone changes how you read Scripture. And here’s the part I love…We can all catch a little TAN from the SON of the One Almighty. He also shared a practical tip for getting into the word: Don’t feel like you have to start at Genesis and grind your way through. Instead, read the Proverb that matches the day of the month. Simple. Consistent. Powerful. Oh—and yes, he sings the books of the Bible in this one. You don’t want to miss it. God bless you all. Have a powerful Sunday. #olddawgfaith #olddawgfaithhuddle #faith

OLD DAWGS! I’ve been in contact with the legends @Adam Hoots and @Mike Chiles recently and they had a great idea: crowd source knowledge from the old dawgs. What I’m looking for specifically are book recs for lean methods or leadership as well. I want to be like a sponge with this stuff. To this point I really only have LinkedIn learning courses under my belt so I’m really trying to expand my horizon and do more than just dip my toes in the water. Send me all the recs you have, thank you in advance!! -Nick Scozzaro

Kicking off the year with a reminder I need just as much as anyone else. I revisited Shawn Achor’s TED Talk, The Happy Secret to Better Work, and it hit home. We’re taught: work harder → hit the goal → then be happy. The research says it works the other way around. Some of the biggest gains come from small, consistent habits: - 3 gratitude's - Journaling - Exercise - Meditation - Random acts of kindness Nothing flashy. Nothing complicated. Just small changes that ripple outward. How can we implement even one of these on a jobsite? - 3 gratitude's - ask everyone to privately note 3 things or think about 3 things they are thankful for. - Random acts of kindness - ask everyone to send a positive email to someone.. Have an atta-a-boy time each day or week to recognize others hard work. Why is this type of behavior acceptable in sports but not on our projects? What suggestions do you have and thoughts? https://youtu.be/fLJsdqxnZb0?si=jkIMMIX0smm8aP9q
