#704 DON'T BE THE STINKY KID - INCHSTONES

What does it really mean to smell good in life, leadership, and faith? In this episode of The VIBE with Kelly Cardenas, Kelly shares a powerful lesson inspired by his 13-year-old son’s bold statement: “Dad, I know how to smell good.”

From cologne collections to Proverbs 5, this message unpacks how God calls us to live with wisdom, avoid shiny distractions, and walk in alignment with who He designed us to be. Kelly connects this truth to The VIBE Method™—where transformation begins by aligning your:

• Heart (Belief System): Do your values smell good to those around you?

• Mind (Intentions): Are your thoughts tuned to wisdom, not foolishness?

• Skills (Actions): Do your choices create a lasting, irresistible vibe?

This is more than a devotional—it’s a real-world playbook for faith, leadership, and relationships. Kelly shares how to work your land, why wisdom and foolishness never mix, and why contentment with God’s plan will always smell better than chasing shiny distractions.
