The hardest person you will ever battle is you and you alone. American writer Carl Sandberg once said, “There is an eagle in me that wants to soar, and there is a hippopotamus in me that wants to wallow in the mud.” I think we can all relate to that statement. There are days when I […]
In 1973, a group of pioneering Harvard scientists embarked on an audacious experiment. They decided to test the endurance of a cheetah, the fastest animal in the animal kingdom. What they discovered was astounding: while cheetahs are incredibly fast, they lack endurance. This revelation led to a profound realization of the power of endurance in […]
Here is some encouragement from my book, Keep Moving Forward: Master The Art Of Perseverance. I wrote this a few years ago to help people understand how to keep their faith strong in the midst of challenges. Be encouraged… Resistance is inevitable, but what truly matters is how we respond to it. Every challenge we […]
How to Put Heaven’s Playlist on Repeat Every Day A playlist only helps if you actually play it. Many Christians know the truth but do not rehearse the truth. They believe the Bible, but they don’t regularly feed on it. Victory belongs to those who learn repetition. Why Repetition Matters What you consistently hear becomes […]
If your mind is always playing something, then it’s time to intentionally build a spiritual playlist. Not random songs. Not emotional noise. Not cultural confusion.

We live in the age of playlists. We build playlists for workouts, road trips, relaxing evenings, beach days, and family parties. With one tap, we can choose the soundtrack of our day.

There are seasons where you feel like you’re standing on the mountaintop, soaking in God’s favor, blessing, and joy. And then there are seasons where you find yourself in the valley—uncertain, stretched, and searching. If we’re honest, most of us […]
A few years ago, I felt a strong pull to slow down—not in life, but in how I approached Scripture. You see, most of us read verses the way we scroll through headlines. Quick. Surface-level. Just enough to move on. But I began to realize something: the power isn’t just in the verse—it’s in the […]
Not long ago, my daughter and I went to visit my parents in Arizona, expecting a normal trip. Instead, I found myself in my dad’s backyard…hunting scorpions. There we were, scanning the ground like undercover agents. At first, I didn’t see a single thing. I started thinking, “This is pointless…there’s nothing out here.” Then my dad flipped […]
