We live in a world desperate for direction, and because people lack a foundation, they reach out for anything that promises stability. People are scared and lonely.

Today, we're talking about "maintenance mode": what it is and how to break out of it. Essentially, maintenance mode is that lingering feeling of not being ready to step into your calling.

Are you making major decisions based solely on what's efficient, logical, or profitable?When things get tough, it is incredibly easy to look around at what is working for everyone else and try to copy it. In Judges 2, the Israelites got into trouble because they stopped trusting God and started copying the religious practices of the surrounding culture. Today, creators do the exact same thing: we follow the algorithms, the hustle c...

Lonliness brings chaos into your life.We’re starting a new six-week series talking about why life gets hard, whether in content creation or just life in general.

Impostor syndrome is essentially a persistent inability to believe that your success is actually deserved. The underlying feeling is: "If they really knew...".

I’ve lived this. When I was a ...

One of the biggest things we need to understand is that people care about *why we do what we do*. Your motives behind your content are just as factored in as your talent.Whether it's through "thin-slicing" or involuntary micro-expressions, your true intent "leaks" out through the screen. If you're in it for the clout, the money, or the ego, your audience is going to clock that "vibe" in a heartbeat.I'm not here to judge; I'm here t...

Every creator dreams of going viral, having a huge charity stream, or partnering with big brands. That instinct to serve more people is a good thing! But God doesn't usually start you there. He starts you with the obscure, the mundane, and the unglamorous grind to serve a few.Before you try to grow on YouTube or Twitch, I'm walking through 5 hard questions you need to ask yourself about getting the small stuff right:- Are you actua...
