Hey man,

In the busyness of our lives, we can forget to have fun. We can get stuck in the mindset that fun is for kids or for vacations.

Remember, your wife probably married you... yes, because of your dashing good looks... but also because you were fun to be with.

Are you still fun to be with or have you allowed stress and the grind to suck the fun out of you?

Many of the most solid men throughout my Christian life have been marked by joy. They are not just the fun guys without substance, but they know how to balance the heavy and the light. They know how to smile and laugh even in the midst of the struggle.

Fun is not just a way to avoid pain. Fun can also be what comes when we've experienced peace from the pain.

I love that in the scripture, we find Jesus eating, taking walks, hanging out on the boats, and enjoying the company of those closest to him.

When we look at the fruit of the Spirit - love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

Can you imagine how this person might be genuinely fun to be with?

Pause the work brain this weekend and do something fun with your family, your wife, a friend, or your neighbors.

Fun can be a holy act of worship.

THIS WEEK’S TOP 3

1. READ: Matthew 20
2. THINK: “Joy is the serious business of heaven.” - C.S. Lewis
3. ACT: How can you pause your productivity brain this weekend and have fun with the people around you? A simple way that I engage in fun with my wife and kids is to have a “yes” day. It’s simple. Within reason, have a bias to say “yes” to whatever they ask you to do! You’ll be surprised how much fun you have and how fun you are!

ARE YOU READY TO FOR SOMETHING DIFFERENT?

I coach driven visionary Christian men who want to sustain lifelong impact in the world for God’s Kingdom. I show them the way to build an inner framework and razor sharp purpose that supports anything they build and bring into the world on the outside. 

Too many of us have become great at building amazing businesses, ministries and movements but we have neglected our inner life. We are literally imploding under the stress and weight of it all. 

And the cost?

You end up standing at the top of the mountain alone… your marriage in shambles, your kids disconnected, and your relationship with God distant. 

Is there a way to chase what God has put in you and not sacrifice what is most important to you? 

The answer is, absolutely!

But the path seems unclear. 

I want to guide you to transformation. 

Through my coaching program, WHETSTONE, I teach you the Forged Path to becoming a man who is sharpened in every area of his life - soul, heart, mind, strength and mission. 

You are too important to the Kingdom of God to stay on this path to implosion and burnout! 

If this sparks something in you, message me. 

I believe in this process to my core! To get you over the threshold, I want to offer you three 30 minute sharpening sessions free of charge. 

I’ve seen it happen time and again with men just like you! God is doing miracles! He is transforming lives! 

The breakthrough you are longing for is not as far off as you think. It only takes one small action to begin building momentum. 

Reach out and let’s schedule our first call.
