Part 2 of the “What Men Carry and How God Lifts” Series There’s a unique kind of emptiness that hits a man who feels like he’s only valued for what he brings – not for who he is. You go to work.You grind.You pay the bills, keep the lights on, fix the broken stuff, andContinue reading “Silent Struggles: Just the Provider”

Silent Struggles: Am I Enough?
Part 1 of the “What Men Carry and How God Lifts” Series I wrote a post not long ago asking a question that most of us – if we’re honest – carry quietly in the back of our minds every single day:“Am I enough?”[You can read that original post here.] But I’ve come to realizeContinue reading “Silent Struggles: Am I Enough?”
Think Long Term
Matthew 6:21 – “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”Proverbs 13:22 – “A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children…” It’s easy to get caught up in the now.Urgency pulls at us constantly- bills to pay, goals to chase, boxes to check. And while there’s wisdom in living withContinue reading “Think Long Term”
Be Wary of Covetousness
Exodus 20:17 – “You shall not covet… anything that belongs to your neighbor.”Luke 12:15 – “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.” Let me be real:It’s hard to scroll social media and not feel like you’re behind.You see the new car, theContinue reading “Be Wary of Covetousness”
Be Wary of Debt
Proverbs 22:7 – “The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is slave to the lender.” I’ll be honest, this is one of those principles I wish I had fully grasped in my twenties. Debt is so normalized in our culture that we barely question it. Swipe now, pay later. Finance it. Stretch it.Continue reading “Be Wary of Debt”
Be Smart with Money
Proverbs 21:5 – “The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance, but everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty.” Let’s be honest—most of us were never taught how to handle money. We were taught how to earn it… maybe even how to give a little of it… but when it came to managingContinue reading “Be Smart with Money”
Money Is a Worship Issue
1 Timothy 6:10 – “For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil.” Money isn’t the enemy.But when it becomes the object of your trust, affection, or identity—it’s no longer a tool. It’s a false god. And it will fail you every single time. We love to quote 1 Timothy 6:10,Continue reading “Money Is a Worship Issue”
A Father’s Day Dadvotional: Standing Strong in Love
I’m about halfway through writing a series about here on Dadvotionals—a journey I expect will span 8 or 9 posts when all is said and done. I am not 100% sure where its leading me – but I am just going with it. If you’ve missed it here they are: You Were Made to ProduceContinue reading “A Father’s Day Dadvotional: Standing Strong in Love”
Honesty Is a Big Deal
Ephesians 4:28 – “Let the thief no longer steal, but rather let him labor, doing honest work with his own hands, so that he may have something to share with anyone in need.” I’ve worked in environments where cutting corners wasn’t just accepted—it was expected. I’ve seen leaders fudge numbers, coworkers stretch the truth, andContinue reading “Honesty Is a Big Deal”
Leading with Faith
Finding Purpose in the Corporate World For years, I have wrestled with a lingering question: How does my career in property tax software implementation contribute to God’s kingdom? I have written about this a few times as it is a constant struggle for me to try to reconcile. At first glance, my work seems farContinue reading “Leading with Faith”
