I remember standing in Checkers, and my store was performing well. I was grateful for the success, but deep down, I kept thinking, If I can do this for someone else, I can do it for me. I’m sure this thought has crossed your mind once or twice as well. An opportunity came up for […]

I can’t remember where I first heard that phrase, but it blew me away. The reason is that when I first became a believer, my main goal was to stop sinning. When you don’t know who God is and you’ve been living life on your own terms, doing whatever you wanted, and then He saves […]

I wrote this thought down: don’t be impressed with it. If you find yourself in a season where God elevates you and you happen to be around people who have status, don’t be impressed with it. Why? Because we know that status isn’t the be-all and end-all in life. If we are truly children of […]

used to read this proverb all the time that says, “There’s a lion in the street.” It talks about someone being lazy—before they even try, they’ve already decided there’s a lion outside, so they’re not going out. Yesterday, I caught myself in that same mindset. I was thinking about going out to create some content, […]

In the pursuit of spiritual growth, there comes a moment when one must grapple with the desire for independence. Ironically, as a disciple of Jesus, the decision to follow God often means surrendering the inclination to chart one’s own course and allowing the Shepherd to lead.

LOrdinary is easy. It’s easy to be like everything that we see around us, to settle into the patterns and routines that define most lives. But it takes more discipline, more courage, to be something more. I believe that each of us is unique, crafted with distinct gifts and potential, and that we are called […]

There are levels to everything in life. This is especially true when it comes to understanding scripture. Even after 20 years of being a believer, I know that there are layers to grasping the full depth of God’s word. If there are levels to understanding the divine, then there are levels in business and all […]

I underwent major eye surgery on May 27, 2021, just a day after my birthday. At that time, I had lost vision in my right eye, and my left eye needed a special oil to keep my retina attached. I know that sounds unusual, but it could’ve been much worse. The oil helped preserve my […]

As I sit in a conference room in the vibrant city of Los Angeles, California, my thoughts linger on a conversation with my wife from the night before. I shared with her my decade-long journey as an entrepreneur and expressed an enduring excitement for the path ahead. The entrepreneurial road, with its twists and turns, […]
