If you’re over 50 and feeling stuck, tired, or quietly wrestling with burnout… I want to tell you a story about the moment everything changed for me. For 28 years, I served in full-time ministry—pastoring, leading an addiction treatment program, walking with people through the darkest and brightest moments of their lives. It was sacred work, and I gave it everything. Then I was promoted to Regional Director. On paper? A dream. In reality? The beginning of my reinvention. One year into the role, I was told I’d be moved to a new city—1,000 miles away. New role. New expectations. No choice. Except my wife was fighting a serious, debilitating disease. My married daughter was too. And uprooting my family—or walking away from them—wasn’t an option. So I offered a compromise: “Let me stay in my city. I’ll take any role that fits my skills. I just won’t abandon my family.” Instead, I got pressure from upper-level executives: “Take the new role for two years. After that, you can choose whatever job you want.” To sweeten the deal, they offered a prestigious 6-week leadership training at the international headquarters—the kind that usually fast-tracks you to the top. But something in my spirit shifted. I realized this wasn’t about opportunity. It was about obedience—to a system that didn’t value my family, my health, or my calling. And one quiet morning, it hit me: If I didn’t take control of my future now, I’d spend the rest of my life waiting for permission to live it. I was scared. Overwhelmed. On the edge of burnout. Afraid of disappointing people. Afraid of failing. Afraid of starting over at 50+ with no roadmap. But I walked away. Not from purpose—but toward it. Reinvention didn’t come easy. It came through trial and error. Through prayer and wrestling. Through rebuilding my confidence one decision at a time. And out of that season, I learned the keys to burnout-proof, faith-driven leadership… …and I built this community to share them with leaders like you.

The preacher started her sermon today telling us to stop wasting time making New Year's resolutions. Instead she made a powerful appeal for determining the outcome of each day using these words from the Apostle Paul just weeks before it is believed he was killed by the Roman government. 2 Timothy 1:6-7 NRSVUE [6] For this reason I remind you to rekindle the gift of God that is within you through the laying on of my hands, [7] for God did not give us a spirit of cowardice but rather a spirit of power and of love and of self-discipline. Those last 3 are my 2026 determination 1. Live into the spirit of power given to everyone to create 2. Love others by freely sharing all my gifts of knowledge, wisdom, and time. 3. Exercise self-discipline by consistently showing up with authenticity, compassion, and authority. What are your determinations?
