So, I’m a little bit of a nerd. I’ve always enjoyed electronics, and especially programming. There’s just something about mechanical, electrical, and software all coming together to bring about a desired action. One simple programming tool is the “if, then” clause. If X, Y, Z exists, then do THIS. It seems so straight forward. It’s almost easy to reapply that to our programming. Some of us probably do it without knowing. If I could just….then I would finally…. My example is mostly, if I could just get up and work out, then I’d finally be fit. Maybe for some it’s, “if I finally got that promotion, then…” “If I knew how to, then I’d finally…” “If my spouse did this, then I’d do that….” Yesterday, I was reminded of our Godly programming. He is…, so I shall.. He is all knowing, so I shall submit to him. He is perfect, so I shall walk in freedom. He is love, so I shall be loved. Today, leverage Romans 12:2. Do not conform to the patterns of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” Be “reprogrammed” for peace, love, joy, kindness, goodness, and gentleness today. Be “reprogrammed” for courage. Be “reprogrammed” through the knowledge of Him. What’s an area you’re struggling with? How can you be transformed with the world? Drop a comment! Be strong and courageous!! 🛡️🛡️

Really great Collective Call today!! We leaned into the pillar poll from earlier this week and had a great conversation about our time. During the discussion, we read 1 Samuel 14:41. Have you ever noticed that David wasn't alone with Goliath? Turns out, the shield bearer was there! When it comes to the pillars, are we truly focused on the Goliath, or are we getting distracted with the shield bearers? - audit your time (rough math says we have 40-60 hours of discretionary time per week) - write out your habit, Kobe Bryant wrote out a contract - then, "don't negotiate with terrorists." don't leave room to talk yourself out of it. Make it your duty to execute. See you next week!!

You all have spoken and the “fitness” pillar is where you’d like to spend some time. On tonight’s call, we’re breaking down the 168 hours we all get each week and showing you how to intentionally schedule fitness instead of leaving it to motivation or chance. This isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing what matters—on purpose. Come ready to evaluate your week, adjust your priorities, and walk away with a simple framework you can actually sustain. See you at 8pm EST If you’ve not yet joined The Collective, you can grab your seat at the table here: https://rousawndozier.kartra.com/checkout/FaithandMarketplace-Community
