Prioritize

Do you ever find yourself squinting at achievers in awe and disbelief wondering how they seem to get so much accomplished while you wallow in an endless sea of to-do’s hoping God will add just a few more hours at the end of your day. It can be difficult to juggle your responsibilities as a husband, father, brother, son, friend, coworker, entrepreneur...the list goes on and on, but your energy does not. Simplify your list. Join the movement and begin prioritizing what’s right for you not what’s left behind.

From soccer fields and fishing trips with Grandpa to the unforgettable day I got my first Chinese throwing star (don’t worry, Mom survived), these stories remind us how deeply the roots of faith, family, and fatherhood run.

I share a few la...
