As I prepare to step away from X for the next 40 days during Lent, I’ve been reflecting on this promise:
“The earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.” — Habakkuk 2:14
In Scripture, “knowledge” isn’t just information. It’s relational. It speaks of intimacy, trust, lived experience. The same word used to describe the deepest human relationship.
God’s aim isn’t simply that we know facts about Him — but that we truly know Him. Walk with Him. Listen to Him. Love Him with all our hearts.
This fast is about creating space for that kind of knowing.
By removing distraction and noise, I’m asking the Lord to fill my life more fully with the knowledge of His glory — to align my heart with His purposes and His plans.
Habakkuk wrestled with confusion and injustice, yet God lifted his eyes beyond the moment to a greater vision: a world saturated with His presence.
That’s my prayer over these next six weeks — for myself, and for the world.
Logging off for Lent. See you after Easter. 🙏
The resurrection of Christ is the hinge on which the Christian faith swings.
Everything stands or falls on that moment.
The apostles gave their lives for it. Billions have built their lives on it.
Because it’s not just hope—it’s an eternal anchor.
Sin defeated.
Death overcome.
The grave no longer final.
That changes everything.
This is awesome.
Clemson baseball has a tradition of players going up in the stands during the 4th inning to shake hands with Veterans.
Today, on opening day, the Army baseball team joined in with them

Respect your craft enough to get into the minutia. 🔥
Seek small, constant, one degree improvements and over time these will generate compounding effects.

Listen to what @BretWeinstein is saying here. It’s one of the most gut-punch breakdowns I’ve heard about why the people inside these broken institutions can look at devastating evidence of harm to children… and still choose silence.
He calls himself a “de facto atheist,” and yet he sees something most people refuse to admit:
When you don’t believe in anything bigger than yourself, it becomes far too easy to make peace with evil.
How do you ignore when studies show severe harm to kids? How do you watch the vaccine program keep rolling when the data screams danger?
You tell yourself the same lie they all tell themselves:
“It won’t make a difference anyway.”
“The system is too corrupt.”
“If I speak up, I’ll be destroyed.”
“No one’s going to listen. The government won’t act. Institutions are untouchable.”
That’s the utilitarian calculus they run: “The greater good is keeping the machine running, even if it crushes a generation of children.” And once you accept that logic, you can justify literally anything...slavery, genocide, medical experiments on kids. History proves it.
Here’s the part that hits hardest:
Faith in a higher power is not gameable.
You can lie to yourself. You can lie to your colleagues. You can lie to the public. But you cannot lie to God. You cannot convince an all-knowing Judge that “it wouldn’t have mattered anyway” or “I had to protect my career.”
That internal moral compass - knowing someone is listening to your thoughts - keeps you from crossing lines that pure utilitarianism happily sprints across.
Brett nails it: Science displaced faith in the modern world, but we never replaced what faith actually did, especially when it comes to the heavy moral lifting...
This is why the cover-up continues. Because too many of them have no fear of anything higher than a paycheck, a title, or peer approval.
We are in a spiritual crisis masquerading as a scientific one.
Watch Brett lay this out below 👇—it’s raw, it’s real, and it explains exactly why we can’t wait for the system to fix itself.
Share this far and wide. Our kids deserve adults who still believe some things are more important than self-preservation.
One of the clearest callings of the Church is to comfort one another in suffering.
After my mom’s passing, I didn’t experience this as an abstract idea—I felt it.
Through prayers, presence, meals, and messages, the Church showed up.
And in that love, I experienced the love of Christ.
This is one of the greatest proofs of God’s existence:
when His people step into pain, carry burdens together, and become comfort for the brokenhearted.
“Our hope for you is unshaken…” (2 Corinthians 1:7)
There’s a famous painting called “Checkmate.”
At first glance, the game looks over.
The devil sits confident.
The man looks defeated.
A chess grandmaster studied it and said:
“The King has one more move.”
The game wasn’t finished. It just looked that way.
For me, the King isn’t just a chess piece.
It’s a reminder that when faith is involved, the final move belongs to God.
In business.
In leadership.
In life.
When the numbers don’t work…
When the pressure is loud…
When it feels like checkmate…
Pause. Look again.
The King still moves last. ♟️
Ohio is the only state with a Bible verse as its motto:
“With God, all things are possible.” — Matthew 19:26
A reminder that faith, resilience, and possibility are part of who we are. 🇺🇸
Psalm 16 isn’t just comfort — it’s a resurrection claim.
“You will show me the path of life;
in Your presence is fullness of joy…” (Ps 16:11)
In Acts 2, Peter says David wasn’t talking about himself. David died. His tomb was still there. Yet David spoke of One who would not see decay.
Peter’s conclusion is clear:
Psalm 16 points to the Messiah — and to the resurrection.
The path of life leads through the grave.
Joy is found on the other side of death.
And the resurrection wasn’t God’s backup plan — it was always the destination.
