2026: A year defined

I’m not going into 2026 chasing more goals or trying to build a perfect plan.

I’m defining the kind of man I’m committing to be—and then aligning my daily actions to that standard.

For me, this year is about a faith that is alive and active. Not just something I believe or talk about, but something that shows up in obedience, trust, and daily decisions—especially when it’s uncomfortable or unseen.

It’s about leading my home well. Being a husband and father who is present, loving, adventurous, and selfless. Choosing sacrifice over convenience. Giving my family my best energy, not what’s left over at the end of the day.

It’s about integrity. Doing what I say I’m going to do. Keeping my word. Living the same in private as I do in public, because character matters more than reputation.

It’s about taking full ownership of my life. No blame. No excuses. No drifting. I am responsible for my actions, my habits, and the direction my life is heading.

And it’s about chasing adventure. Spending more time outside. Choosing hard things. Getting into the mountains, on the trails, and in places that remind me what it feels like to be fully alive and fully dependent on God.

I’m not aiming for perfection in 2026. I’m aiming for faithfulness. Daily discipline. Clear direction. And consistent action.

If you’re stepping into this year, don’t just set goals—set a standard.

Then build your days to match it.

Question for the group:

What is the standard you’re committing to live by this year?
