The relationship most of us feed the least, but that is the most important.

How small choices affect our long term quality of life.

On why nothing good in my life came free.

On the work that keeps everything running and never gets celebrated.

The people who stayed faithful to me when I gave them every reason not to.

On being fully in the room and only half arriving.

On the few things that actually move the needle in my walk with God, and the noise I let compete with them.

What 1 Timothy 4:7 asks of us, and the half of it nobody talks about.

The whole series boiled down to one page you can keep on the fridge: what to own, what to reach for, and what to leave on the shelf.

Even among the good oils, how one is made and how fresh it is decides whether it belongs in your kitchen, and the label is the last place to look.

How seed oils are really made, why the scariest stories about them are only half right, and what you should be afraid of instead.

*Butter was wrongly demonized and setting it next to a bottle of seed oil tells you most of what you need to know.

For most of human history, people cooked in the fat that came off the animals they ate. They rendered it, kept it in a jar by the stove, and fried and roasted a

A cow is forgiving in a way a pig and a chicken are not. You can feed a cow the wrong thing and it will still give you fairly stable fat, because the animal rew

A lot of the fat in your food is settled long before it reaches your plate, back when the animal was still choosing what to eat or having that chosen for it. A

The two fats you have to eat, the balance between them that modern food broke, and why I take fish oil and feed my dogs sardines.

The one fat I would tell you to truly avoid, how a factory created it out of ordinary oil, and how we were once urged to eat it in place of butter.

What the four types actually are, which fats to build on, which to minimize, and which to cut.

The bad science, the sugar money, and the numbers nobody wants to sit with.

How the most essential thing in your body got demonized, and why I eat plenty of it on purpose.

What has happened to our food, and why filling the gaps is not a lack of faith

Part 7 was the heart behind gratitude. Why it matters, what it has looked like in my life, and what happens when you lose it. This post is the practical compani

We live in a world that is constantly telling you that you do not have enough.

Part 6 was about the gap between who you are in public and who you are in private. This post is about what actually closes that gap.

There is a version of you that shows up when people are around. And there is a version of you that shows up when they are not.

We have spent a lot of posts on environment. Physical space, social circle, learning and work setup — and the biblical and practical side of each one. Before we

We have covered your physical space and your social environment. This one is about the third arena where environment shapes you more than most people realize —

Part 5.7 was about what your social environment is actually doing to you. This post is about what you do about it. How do you build a social environment that fe

Of all the environmental factors that shape who you are becoming, your social environment is probably the most powerful. More than your physical space, more tha

Part 5.5 was about the practical side of physical environment design — what I have actually done in my own home and why it works. This post is about the biblica

The space you are in right now is either working for you or against you. Most people have never stopped to think about which one it is.

We have talked about the people who feed your soul. The inputs you consume. Your time with God. Your work. All of it matters. But all of it lives inside somethi

Part 4 was the principle. This is the Monday morning version.

Most of us spend more time working than doing almost anything else. More than we sleep. More than we spend with the people we love. More than we spend in church

Part 3.5 was about prayer. This one is about the other half of what it means to spend real time with God — actually opening His Word and letting it do something

Most people know they should pray. Fewer people actually know what prayer is supposed to look like — or why it matters as much as Scripture says it does. So let

None of us have arrived.

Part 2 was my story. This one is the practical side of it — what the Bible actually says about what we feed our minds and souls, and what it has looked like for

A close friend of mine said something recently that stopped me cold.

If you read Part 1, you know how I feel about the friendships God has placed in my life. But feeling it and building it are two very different things. This post

Recently, my fiancée Maddy was going through something hard. Something that involved other people in her life, and I sat with her in it the best I could. And so

Mark 10 — and what your wallet actually reveals about your God

Ephesians 3:7 — and the verse that flipped how I see my entire life

I need to tell you about the person who saved my life.

I’ve been sitting with Ephesians 1 for the past few days, and it’s hitting me hard.

I am a hypochondriac.

The other day, I saw a post about someone who died - a friend had shared his picture with angel wings photoshopped on. It’s a common gesture, meant to comfort.

I need to start by being honest with you: I used to hate myself.

I used to wake up feeling like I’d been hit by a truck.
