I was surrounded by an amazing wife and four young daughters—yet I felt alone.
​
My soul was fragmented. I had outward success, but inwardly, I was far from experiencing joy, peace, and connection. I believed I had arrived. But the truth? I was still striving—proving my worth, earning applause, and ignoring the ache in my heart.
​
For many faith-forward, high-achieving men, this is the battle: our hearts have grown calloused to receiving.
​
One's ability to receive is directly connected to your ability to give away what you have. Said another way, your life cannot overflow if you are not experiencing and receiving love.
​
​I was not carrying freedom; I was carrying unnamed wounds. I followed Jesus, but I was not surrendering the pain in my heart. And he was not able to provide the transformation I desperately needed without me telling the truth.
​

​
Every day, I walk with men who are experiencing similar stories. Outside—running multiple businesses, leading teams, and casting a bold vision. On the inside—they feel like a Corolla dressed up as a Ferrari.
​​
So here’s the invitation: Tell Jesus the truth. Where are you struggling to trust Him? What wound are you still carrying?
​
Are you carrying around a wound from your mom that says you're never enough and you will continue to fail? And you have developed a script in life to prove her wrong.
​
You are now middle-aged aged taking out the feeling of being a failure on your children in a burst of random anger in the carpool line? What if Jesus could heal this place? Would you be willing?
​
​He is not keeping joy, peace, and freedom from you. He is waiting at the door for you to knock and welcome him closer to your tired heart.
​
Slow down. Tell the truth. Give Him access
​
Your life, marriage, and business will begin to flourish in new ways once you are able to name the truth about what you feel.
