Becoming an Everyday Mentor
Think about the people who have shaped your life — not just the ones with an official title, but the ones who simply showed up. Maybe it was a teacher who encouraged you at just the right time. A coach who saw potential in you before you saw it yourself. A boss who took the extra time to teach you something valuable. Or maybe it was just a neighbor, a small group leader, or a friend who was present when you needed guidance.
How Prioritizing Relationships Sparks Productivity
Our relationships impact every area of life. Whether at home, in friendships, or at work, the quality of our connections influences our joy, our resilience, and even our ability to accomplish our goals. When relationships are strong, life is fuller. When they are weak or neglected, everything feels harder. Prioritizing relationships and connection is a productivity hack many leaders are afraid of.
Fighting for Friendship In Your Thirties
Friendship gets harder as you get older — especially when you have kids. Between the chaos of parenting, demanding work schedules, and sheer exhaustion, finding time for meaningful connection can feel almost impossible. Add in the challenge of coordinating babysitters, aligning schedules, and mustering the energy to socialize, and it's easy to see why so many friendships fade in this season. But here's the truth: When it’s most difficult to prioritize friendship is when we need it the most.
Delegating Responsibility to Create Maturity
One of the most impactful things a small group leader can do is delegate responsibility. While it may feel easier to handle everything yourself, giving group members ownership over different roles helps them grow in their faith and maturity. It stretches them, challenges them, and allows them to rise to the occasion. Simply put — when you give people a role to play, they take ownership.
The Heart of Hospitality: Opening Doors for the Gospel
Walk into any Chick-fil-A, and you'll notice something different. Sure, the food is good , but it’s the culture that stands out. Every interaction, from the warm greeting to the familiar "My pleasure," reflects intentional hospitality. It’s not just customer service — it’s a commitment to making people feel valued. The same can be said for world-class hotels, where the details matter. Clean rooms, thoughtful amenities, and friendly staff all work together to create an environment where guests feel cared for and at ease.
The Power of Anticipation: Transform Your Everyday Life
My son, Summit, is the king of anticipation. At five years old, he’s always got something he’s looking forward to. In the 15 days leading up to his birthday, he asked every single morning, “Is today my birthday?” And now, his excitement has shifted to the 100-day party at school — something he’s been talking about for what seems to be a hundred days... Watching him has made me realize: anticipation is one of the keys to a fuller life. It brings a sense of adventure to everyday life.
