Friends, have you ever been in a place where you couldn't get yourself to Yeshua on your own? Where the crowd was too thick, your situation too heavy, and your strength too weak? Then you need friends with faith. Look at this powerful moment in the Gospels: “Four men came to him carrying a paralyzed man. Since they could not bring him to Yeshua because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof over the place where Yeshua was. Then they lowered the cot on which the paralyzed man was lying. When Yeshua saw their faith, he said to the man, ‘Friend, your sins are forgiven.’” — Mark 2:3-5 This story (found in Mark 2:1-12, Luke 5:17-26, and Matthew 9:1-8) is one of the greatest pictures of friendship in the Bible. The paralyzed man couldn't walk. He couldn't push through the crowd. He was stuck. But he had four friends who refused to leave him in that condition. They didn’t just pray from a distance. They didn’t just say “thoughts and prayers.” They picked up the mat, climbed a roof, tore it open, and lowered their friend right in front of Yeshua. And the Bible says Yeshua saw their faith. That’s what real Kingdom friendship looks like — carrying one another when we can’t carry ourselves. Having enough faith to do whatever it takes to get the person we love in front of the only One who can heal and forgive. Question for our community: Who in your life needs you to be one of the “four friends” right now? Maybe they’re paralyzed by fear, addiction, grief, doubt, or discouragement. Are you willing to do the hard, inconvenient, roof-tearing work to bring them to Yeshua? Let’s be the kind of community where no one has to stay paralyzed because they don’t have friends with faith. Drop a 🔥 if you want to be that kind of friend. And if you need friends to carry you right now — be honest in the comments. This is a house where we help each other get to Yeshua.

When I go on a trip, or I'm in a tough season, or making a life transition, I will pick a song to play on repeat during that time. Then, in the future, when I listen to that song again, I can remember the trip/season so much more clearly. This helps me process emotions and experiences as well, both good and bad. I recently attended the Black Sheep Club retreat with @David Maus Jr and 10 other amazing men. I played a song on repeat during my time in Florida that I just happened to hear for the first time on the first day of my trip. Funny enough, it was the actual band playing live which made it pretty impactful. It has established a greater posture of gratitude in my life. I'm sure some of you have heard it but for me it has a timestamp on my life now that I'm very thankful for. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbGFYaA0SbY I have a whole list of songs I can listen to that bring back significant times of my life. I just wanted to share this with you all, because I think it is different but powerful, and you might want to try it for a season you are going through or a trip that you go on. I'd love to hear your feedback!

I don’t need success to be happy. I don’t need more to be satisfied… Being honest, I was heading in that direction, watching others, feeling behind, stressing… and that did nothing but take my attention away from my walk, my journey, my life. It made my days dark and bent my mind. I remembered the most important lesson that I had already learned numerous times, “keep your eyes fixed on Jesus and you will walk on water”. So that’s what I’m working on. I would rather live my life chasing the light than spend the rest of it sitting in darkness. And that makes me happy 🫶🏽 *Not written, prompted, or manipulated by AI. This was my genuine heart posture this morning. Appreciate your prayers, love, and support. Or not, throw some shame or hate my way if that makes you feel special. I need practice not letting that get to me anyway.

Haven't been in in a while and tbh David's Retreat reflection drew me back in today. I just want to honor him and his obedience to the Lord and how he is being called up. It inspires me. Causes me to ask God about where and how He wants me to move in my life in this season of preparation. Keep going my brother. You are crushing it.

Today I spoke to a group of high school students. The gist of the presentation was this: 1. You will become what you believe you are worth 2. To build something real, become someone who is reliable, selfless, and shows up for others first 3. Do the things that scare you. Overcoming fear is where confidence is built. This presentation made me genuinely question if I am living up to the version of myself I thought I'd be when I was a kid. When you are in that position on stage (or posting content), it's important to back up and be about what you speak about. What a blessing it is to prove to yourself everyday that you can become the person you thought you could be when you were little. I do this by posting content, running my business, running long distances, solo traveling, and building community. There are always uncertainty in life. Will I get married? Will I build a following? How will I make money when I move to a new city? Will I be able to sell my business? But, look at the PROGRESS you make over time by staying consistent!!! Speaking on that stage, I realized how far I'd come. I've run three full marathons. I've built my business to the point where I can travel and still have income. I'm posting content everyday on TikTok. I'm not saying this to boast, but more so as a journal to myself and to you that you can get to where you want to go. Hold the vision. Stay consistent. Surround yourself with like-minded people. Push yourself to try new things and build community. Hold tight to the Lord. And He will provide. Hope this helps someone!!
