019: From Burnout to Breakthrough: Discover the Power of Nature with God

In this episode, Brett shares a personal and spiritual journey centered around the healing power of nature and the upcoming Eternal Life Plan workshop. Brett opens by providing an update on the workshop’s evolution—from a comprehensive deep-dive into life planning to a more focused beta session centered around writing your Judgment Day Story. This exercise challenges participants to envision what they hope Jesus will say to them about how they lived in five key areas: faith, fitness, family, finances, and fellowship. It’s a call to self-reflection and alignment with God's purpose.

Brett then shifts into the heart of the episode: his lifelong connection with nature. He recounts his upbringing on several acres of land, yearly lake trips, and a transformative moment during a hike that helped him realize the beauty and spiritual renewal found in his own backyard. Through these experiences, he learned how being in nature refreshes the soul and strengthens one’s relationship with God—especially during emotionally draining seasons.

He encourages listeners to assess whether they are bearing fruit in life using a free tool called The Sower’s Scorecard, designed to help people move from spiritual stagnation to growth and alignment with God’s will.

Key Takeaways:

1. Workshop Invitation – Brett’s upcoming Judgment Day Story workshop helps believers reflect deeply on how they’re honoring God in five life domains.
2. The Power of Nature – Personal experiences in the outdoors deeply shaped Brett’s emotional and spiritual well-being.
