Let’s Get You To Financial Freedom, Fast

Merry Christmas, happy holidays, and all my love from HOU, TX! :) We’ve arrived safely and are getting more settled by the day. Feeling deeply thankful to be surrounded by so many loved ones, and the 75 degree winter weather doesn’t hurt either :D

When we moved to Arkansas to help plant a church in 2019, we didn’t have a facility, we didn’t have a 501(c)3, we didn’t have a worship leader, we didn’t have any money to speak of, and we didn’t know a single person who lived in the state.

Earlier this year, I bought a Tesla Model S. And trust me, I know it’s probably cringey to use a picture of my car as the graphic to my newsletter, but bear with me, because there’s a point I'm getting to.

I can hardly believe it, but it’s been five years since we moved to Fayetteville! And at this point, Megan and I have officially lived in Arkansas for the majority of our marriage. What!?

What’s the difference between glory and shame? What makes a hero, and what makes a villain? Success vs. failure, good vs. bad? Well, it depends on who you’re asking.

Recently, I went back to read last year’s newsletter titled ‘Milestones Are Stepping Stones,’ where I shared my one-year business updates. And wow. What a journey, y’all.

As Easter came and went this year, I’ve been wondering: did the resurrected Jesus ever miss his life before?

I’m in awe of the breathtaking silence of winter. A beautiful pause, a timely reset that nature ushers in.

Wherever you are this holiday season - Merry Christmas! :) I hope you sip the most perfectly rich hot chocolate ever made and laugh harder than you have in a long time this week :).

I love seeing my sons’ delight. From silly dancing to opening a present, from tickle-tackling to eating something yummy - I can’t get enough!

Do you remember the first time you tried to wrap your mind around double negatives in grade school?

There is something so nurturing about summer's months. So refreshing. So... Am I right? Perfectly indescribable

I’m actually feeling very intellectually curious about this question today. Because I’ve heard that “fortune favors the bold,” and yet, so does destruction.

“POUND THE ROCK, MINI BIAR!” Such was the weekly, bursting encouragement of my calculus teacher in high school.

I so cherish the moments of conscious stillness and contemplative preparation while everything around me lies asleep.

Most years, I have stressed about what I should do to celebrate my wife. What gift to give? Where to go? What to do?

I love the turn of the new year. I love the fresh start, the wondering of what’s ahead, and even the emotional distancing from what lay behind.

I have an honest question.. If you could invest $100 knowing it would make you $2500 within a year or less, would you do it?

It’s our inaugural holiday season over here at The Warehouse, just 315 pallets of inventory later since our beginning 7 months ago.

I’m not sure if it’s made Webster’s dictionary yet, but by popular demand, our culture has embraced “Instagram vs. Reality.”

Usually, if we ask the question, “What’s in it for me?,” we’re asking someone else. Perhaps they want something from us - something we wouldn’t be inclined to provide without a reward.

The other night, Megan and I were reading a book to Beckham before he went to bed. It’s called Circus Ship, a story centered around fifteen traveling animals that thanks to a shipwreck escape from their angry owner.

Perhaps the most unnatural skill I’ve had to learn of late is resisting the urge to clean. Honestly, it pains me in a way to even type those words - that’s how much I love clean!

It's a fascinating time to be starting a business, even more so a financial advisory. On one hand, I see indexes falling, costs rising, and fears of doom creeping onto America's center stage.

“This is what calling feels like.” It was on January 17th, 2021, my heart erupting with dreams and my stomach sinking with fear, as a once-distant thought had grown too loud to ignore.
