Pentecost reminds us the Church was born in power and sent with purpose. The Holy Spirit filled ordinary believers to courageously live love &make disciples.
In a world filled with AI, noise, and falsehoods, may we remain people led by the Spirit who still guides us into truth
So time is something specially valuable to be offered to God in testimony of our love. Time given to God is time withdrawn from other activities. This means that if I am an achiever, I will achieve less…
Houston HC Kelvin Sampson - Why Coaches Fail
- "I think the coaches that fail at every level, are the coaches that are passive aggressive. Passing aggressive coaches are usually afraid to hold kids accountable, they rationalize."
- "If you're going to build a culture, the first thing you have to come to grips with, you're going to have confrontation."
- Consistency
- Competence
- Confidence
- Confrontation
Kelvin Sampson shares what separates good programs from great ones.
It comes down to 3 things.
"The best teams come from the coaching staffs that are the best demanders. There are certain non-negotiables."
"We're not going to sit down and talk about this...This is the way it's done and we expect this effort."
No debate. No negotiation. Just the standard.
"And those eventually will be called standards. So - standards, accountability, and then we've raised our expectations."
"Here's our expectations, and our expectation is probably a little bit higher than most people's. We don't talk about them."
The standard is how you operate every day.
"We practiced this morning at 6:00. Probably our best practice in the last 6 or 7 days. But that's because our standards are raising. Our kids are holding each other accountable now."
Then he said the line that defines a great program:
"That's when you know you've got a great program."
When the players hold each other accountable not just the coaches. That's when you've built something real.
The formula is:
1. Standards
2. Accountability
3. Raised Expectations.
A great team isn't made of individuals seeking personal glory - it's made of people who hold each other accountable and work towards a common goal

Setting healthy boundaries also means establishing
healthy dependencies.
Not everything deserves your attention.
Not every notification deserves access to your nervous system.
Sometimes the boundary isn’t against people —
it’s against the patterns that quietly drain you.
… Once this projection is made then I need not be upset with myself. My problems are now outside and I can fight them out there rather than within the real arena, myself.” - JOHN ENGLISH, SPIRITUAL PILGRIMS
“Those things we cannot accept in ourselves we project upon others. If I do not admit my shadow side, I will unconsciously find another who will carry my shadow for me.… - JOHN ENGLISH, SPIRITUAL PILGRIMS…
“I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.””
