“Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their ancestors’” (Joshua 1:6).

Parenting And The Vineyard
Three years ago, my wife and I moved into a new home with our four kids—and the real showstopper was the backyard. It was a dream: sprawling, peaceful, and draped with arbors covered in lush grapevines. The first year, the vines were generous, bursting with grapes. But that had little to do with me—they hadContinue reading “Parenting And The Vineyard”
Be A Father Not A Friend
My wife and I homeschool our children. There are many reasons behind that decision, but that’s not the focus of this post. The other day, I walked into the house after work and found our kids gathered around the table working on presentation projects. My 12-year-old daughter came up to me, excited to show offContinue reading “Be A Father Not A Friend”
Sons Need Their Father
This blog is dedicated to my father who has been an amazing source of love and strength and has provided me a strong foundation in which to build my own character.

This One Is For All The Fathers
The doorbell rang the other day, and two young men stood before me. I say young men because neither of them had to be above 25 years of age. They were salesmen trying to get me to buy into what they were selling. As we talked, one of my daughters approached me to see whoContinue reading “This One Is For All The Fathers”
What’s Your Code?
Different military branches hold to a moral/ethical code, an ethos, or in the case of the Vikings, laws. These codes and laws dictate and determine decision making, actions of the individual, and overall quality of life. Most branches of the military require their cadets to learn and memorize their branch’s code of conduct. What fascinatesContinue reading “What’s Your Code?”
Recognize Your People
Tom had a great idea to bring more community involvement to his organization. He researched and planned everything it would take to make his idea successful. He then brought his idea to his leadership, and they gave him the green light. He spent hours putting together materials, volunteers, and speaking with the right people toContinue reading “Recognize Your People”
A Super Bowl Leader
If you were like me, and 280 million other people, Sunday was spent watching two football teams go head to head to see who was the best in the 2023 NFL season. Whether you were rooting for the Chiefs or the Eagles, one thing is for sure, they put on a fantastic show for theirContinue reading “A Super Bowl Leader”
Are You Still Growing?
There is a quote that says, “The only person you need to be better than is the person you were yesterday.” This quote is a good reminder of not falling into the trap of comparing ourselves to others. However, it is also a good reminder that we should always be in a state of growthContinue reading “Are You Still Growing?”
