Lessons lately. Most of the lessons that we have to share, stem from some sort of short coming. We can usually share the lesson from the short coming once we process the failure and regain our footing. In that case, we share the lessons from the perspective of "I used you... xyz"

However, this lesson is not something that I have recovered from yet. Will I recover and the situation work out? Maybe, but I am not sure yet. I will keep you posted on that.

I am here today to share the lesson learned, while in the middle of situation. This is me raising my hand and telling you that I just about screwed up.

The lesson can be summed up by this..

"Sometimes you can't afford NOT to..."

On this episode of Mission Made, I got the chance to catch up with Jake Thompson of Compete Everyday. Jake is an author, speaker, podcast host, entrepreneur, family man, and YOUR Chief Encouragement Officer.

I got the chance to meet Jake in Idaho earlier this year at our mutual friend, Tyler Dickerhoof's, event. Side note: You guys are going to get to meet Tyler real soon.

Jake and I talk about how the Compete Everyday principles can be applied to our faith and fitness to enable growth within. In our time together we covered:

- Redefined what it really means to "Compete"
- Right ways and wrong ways to compete
- Applying the "lego block" the bridge the gap in your growth
- Inspiration from Jake's story getting Compete Everyday started
- And much more...

Today on Mission Made I am flying solo! I talk about how your sacrifice is never wasted when we are sacrificing for the Lord. I was reminded of this recently on the tail end of not being as committed to my quiet time with the Lord as I should. I got right before the Lord and sacrificed something I wanted to do, to prioritize time with him.

He met me there, and my cup was filled. My sacrifice was NOT wasted, and I know yours' won't be either.

On this episode I got to catch up with Scott Batson, founder of Get Strong Ministries.

Get Strong Ministries uses the CrossFit gym setting to disciple men and reach the nations for the Kingdom. They do so equipping men to lead groups that are rooted in fitness, and sending short term missionaries to CrossFit Get Strong in Nicaragua.

We got to talk about some of the origins of Get Strong, Scott's backstory, being able to connect with people through fitness for the sake of the Gospel, and a specific message for the men of MM.

I got so much from our conversation, and I believe you will too.

On this short episode of Mission Made, I talk about some things that have motivated me as a kid. We all have them. Some of the motivation we have as kids sticks with us. For me there is one that sticks out the most. It is all about choosing to be blind. I have linked to video below for reference. Once you listen to this podcast, please do yourself a favor and watch the linked videos. These really got me fired up as a kid.

On this episode a friend of mine, River, and I have a conversation diving into his story. River is a youth pastor, a husband, and a runner. Our friendship is fairly young, but it runs deep as most of our interaction has been in prayer. River was a day 1 guy for the mens prayer group I am a part of. We had a lot of fun with this conversation, I hope you enjoy. River will be a returning guest at some point in the future.
