This popped up on my social media and it hit home for me. "What a privilege to be tired from work you once prayed for. What a privilege to feel overwhelmed by growth you once dreamed about. What a privilege to be challenged by a life you created on purpose. What a privilege to outgrow things you once settled for." Get in alignment with God's will and start the journey towards your destiny. The enemy will come out in force against you, but keep the faith because the creator of the universe is clearing the path ahead of you. As Jocko would say "prepare to get some" because it's not going to always be easy or fun, but it will all be worth it in the end. I pray that every curse placed or spoken over you be broken, every trap set by the enemy be revealed, and the wicked that come against you be crushed. In Christ's name, Amen!

Today’s YouVersion Bible Daily Lesson applies to us. Transformation Do you want to be new? All around the world, humans long for change. We long to throw off old habits and ways of thinking if they aren’t serving us anymore. Thousands of self-help books, podcasts, articles, and all kinds of media exist for this very reason. We want to change! And yet, it can feel impossible. Paul, one of Jesus’ disciples, shares this powerful truth in Romans 12:2 (NIV): Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. Transformed by the renewing of our minds. What does this mean? Transformation is a massive change. It’s thorough. Complete. A total difference. Like a caterpillar becoming a butterfly, transformation brings an end to the old and a beginning to the new. Paul is showing us that transformation isn’t work we do from the outside in. Transformation happens from the inside out. It begins with our mind. And for our minds to change, we need Truth to grab hold of. God’s Word is this Truth. “All Scripture is breathed out by God…” 2 Timothy 3:16-17 ESV “For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.” Hebrews 4:12 NIV “... Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.” Matthew 4:4 NIV God’s Word guides us when we are lost, strengthens us when we are weary, challenges us when we are compromising, and encourages us when we are overwhelmed. God’s Word changes everything. And this very moment, you hold God’s Word in your hand. Transformation is in your grasp. Read the Bible closely, dig into its verses, wrestle with its teachings, and treasure what you discover about the love and grace of God. The best place to bring your desire for newness is to God and His Word. God’s Word renews our minds. Transformation begins here.

As the year wraps up, one thing has become clear to me through conversations in this community and others. Talking with people, reading different perspectives, and seeing how others approach their craft has helped me realize that my focus moving forward isn’t about doing more — it’s about doing better. Specifically, making better videos for my channel. More intentional storytelling, clearer moments, and content that feels honest and lived-in. I’m grateful for the conversations that helped me see that more clearly. Curious what clarity these last conversations have given you heading into the new year. Where the Map Ends, The WILD begins! !Stay Rugged.

My future family depends on me this year has opened my eyes and the Lord has revealed a lot about myself more than I knew. I’ll give updates throughout my process.
