You see, growing up I interpreted love as something you earn by doing well. Good grades. Good behavior. Achievement. Love felt tied to performance. That mindset shaped how I live and work.

I withdrew my son from public school. I said yes to love again...wedding in 17 days. I lead a company where courage is a core value. These choices weren’t easy. Courage rarely is.

Tired brains make tired decisions. One way to cut through decision fatigue? Build systems so you’re not starting from scratch every time. Another? Know your values so your decisions have a clear filter. I’m sharing how both of these help me in life and ministry and how you can start too.
