Live What You Know… So You Can Know More

The kingdom I’m commanded to seek first.

Brothers and sisters,

That video is from October.
I was lit up. I meant every single word.

Daily publishing had already proven itself once (it literally helped the Lord take 60 pounds off me and carry my wife and me across a Spartan finish line).
So I stood in my car and declared, “No more starting and stopping. Publish peace daily.”

Then real life showed up with six kids, Christmas, birthdays, and a car lot that eats 50 hours a week.

Something had to give.

What Heaven Has Been Teaching Me Since October

October me: “Daily or nothing!”
December me: “Family or nothing.”

Here’s the part I couldn’t see back in October — the part the Lord has been patiently teaching me ever since:

Living what you know doesn’t always look like a perfect daily streak.
Sometimes it looks like closing the laptop at 7 p.m. so six little bodies can pile on you for wrestling and stories.
Sometimes it looks like giving your regular shift hours to another salesman so you can be at your chill in the home front.
Sometimes it looks like publishing “only” three or four times a week instead of seven — but showing up fully alive for the people who call you Dad.

God isn’t scoring your posting calendar.
He’s watching whether you become the message.

“Seek These Little Ones First…”

Right now the message He is thundering into my soul is:

Put your family first — truly first — and every other good thing will be added in ways you cannot force.

So I’m adjusting the covenant, not abandoning it.

I am still publishing peace — daily when the fire and schedule align, and “as daily as possible” when they don’t.

I am still transitioning off the car lot the moment the Lord finishes opening the next door (right now that door has “annuities & legacy planning” written on it in His handwriting — a way to help families retire early so they can serve full-time).

But I won’t rush ahead of Him.
And I won’t drag my family through another burned-ship wreck to get there.

Give Your Saturdays to the Right Kingdom

Some shifts are for deals. Some are for this.

The God who helped me drop 24 pounds in five weeks — the moment I finally lived one truth —
is the same God who will drop the right clients, the right house, the right freedom
the moment I live the next truth He’s whispering:

“Seek first these little ones I gave you…
and all these things will be added — without you killing yourself (or them) to add them.”

If you’re in that same tension —
feeling the pull to lift the world while your own children are begging for your eyes — hear me:

You don’t have to choose between the two.
You only have to choose the order.

Put the kingdom inside your four walls first.
The kingdom outside will wait — and it will multiply — because the King of Kings keeps His promises.

Put the kingdom inside your walls first. The rest of the path opens by itself.

That’s the Rest of the Story

Be lifted so you can lift others — starting with the ones who sleep down the hall from you tonight.
