Introduction: The Box as a Tool for Freedom Most of us talk about "putting people in their place" when what we should be doing—if we are to stay in our peace, walk in our power, and love those who may be difficult to love—is putting them not in their place, but in their box. Lemme explain… Some relationships require clear boundaries to prevent repeated harm. But if we only focus on self-protection, we risk turning The Box into a fortress rather than a tool for true relational clarity and freedom. The Box Method ensures both offense and defense, allowing us to set wise, loving containment for others while maintaining our own peace and power. Why ‘The Box’? People say you shouldn’t put others in a box. I say, if you want peace in your life, you better put them in their right one. - If you don’t put people in their box, they’ll put you in theirs. - Freedom isn’t letting people run wild—it’s allowing them freedom to be who they are within the boundaries you set for your life, based on what they've proven they can handle without hurting you or others. - We know most people don’t think outside the box, or we wouldn’t have to tell them to do it so often. Boxes are not about judgment. They are about clarity—acknowledging who people are, how they behave, and how we engage with them without resentment or unrealistic expectations. How The Box Works: A 4-Step Framework Recognize & Accept (Reality Without Judgment) - Who is this person really? (Not who I wish they were.) - What are their consistent behaviors, not just isolated moments? - What are they actually capable of giving? (Emotional maturity, reliability, respect, etc.) Key Mindset Shift: You are not here to change them. The first step is acceptance. Define the Box (Clear Boundaries & Expectations) - "They can move freely inside here, but they can’t break the walls." - Think of ER restraints: soft, leather, or chemical—not punishment, but protection. - The size of the box is based on who they’ve shown themselves to be, not who you hope they’ll become. As the saying goes, "Once someone shows you who they are...believe them ;)"

Thoughts?

I had tech difficulties for the rollout. I watched the recorded video and realized several issues with my position in life. I have been depressed and wallowing in self pity and doubt since about July and feel my spirit has been ripped away. I had a life changing and almost life ending motorcycle crash June 12th. I’ve been looking at this all wrong and now realize this is an opportunity god has put in front of me instead of a limitation. There will be a real challenge physically to recover but there is also the opportunity to realize my potential and change my position to be the man and leader that will set an example for my son to grab ahold and be the man he is capable of being. My mind is on fire!! I may have missed it live but I’m all there with all of you men! Wow!
