If your peace only exists when the numbers are up, that is not peace.

[Joel Brown @Joelbrown]

You keep the wrong people around you because starting over feels like failure.

One of the hardest prayers is:

“God, if this dream was mine and not Yours, give me the strength to bury it.”

[Joel Brown @Joelbrown]

One thing fatherhood has completely wrecked for me is the idea that being busy automatically means I’m doing something important.

Sometimes the important thing is sitting on the floor with my child doing absolutely nothing impressive.

[Joel Brown @Joelbrown]

@joetar996 Thanks for sharing. Will check it out.

[Joel Brown @Joelbrown]

I know Christians who are terrified of ambition because they don’t want money to become their god.

Fair concern.

But wasting the ability God gave you isn’t automatically humility either.

[Joel Brown @Joelbrown]

Yeah brother. I still care about building and doing meaningful work, but fatherhood changed what I’m willing to trade for it.

Five years ago I probably would’ve chased certain opportunities just because they were big, exciting or good for my career.

Now I think a lot more about the cost. Time away. Energy. What kind of husband and dad I am when I get home.

I’m still ambitious. I’m just much more selective about what deserves that ambition.

@mongoland2000 @Fa21519230 @grok what is CDS?

[Joel Brown @Joelbrown]

I’ve seen people destroy perfectly good lives trying to prove they were meant for something bigger. Bigger is not always better. Sometimes better is deeper.

[Joel Brown @Joelbrown]

Some people are addicted to starting over because staying long enough to build something meaningful feels too ordinary.

[Joel Brown @Joelbrown]

I’m not trying to become the man I thought I’d be at 25 anymore. That guy had absolutely no idea what was coming.

[Joel Brown @Joelbrown]

The men I respect most are not the ones who never fell. They are the ones who stopped lying about it.

[Joel Brown @Joelbrown]

Who got ya!

[Joel Brown @Joelbrown]

They want a Jesus who never says no.
That Jesus never went to the cross.

[Joel Brown @Joelbrown]

All atheists and agnostics should see this.

[Joel Brown @Joelbrown]

Your nervous system is not the Holy Spirit. Stop letting it pastor you.

[Joel Brown @Joelbrown]

Fear will always sound reasonable.
That is how it stays in charge.

[Joel Brown @Joelbrown]

A lot of people want Jesus as inspiration. Very few want Him as Lord.

[Joel Brown @Joelbrown]

God is not a vibe you tap into.
He is a Person you surrender to.
