Do you struggle to stay focused on what truly matters in a world of constant noise and distraction? Are you ready to unlock the power of intentional focus and transform your life? Take a page from Nehemiah's playbook and learn how to master the art of focus in the face of overwhelming challenges. When Nehemiah arrived in Jerusalem, he was faced with a scene of utter devastation: abandoned tools, crumbling walls, and a spirit of fear hanging in the air. It was enough to make any man want to turn tail and run. But not Nehemiah. He knew the secret:...

It’s time to stop living in the "gray twilight" of mediocrity and making the decision to dare mighty things and win big. President Teddy Roosevelt once said, "Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat."

The best guys are always busy… that’s why they get stuff done.  Men who are not busy are usually not men of vision and capacity.   Men who aren’t busy have made smaller things larger in their lives. They’ve become stagnant in the sameness of small. They settle for maintenance at the expense of creativity. Men with vision move forward … no matter the pace, it’s always forward.
