In 1939, the white founder of Planned Parenthood wrote a letter regarding “The Negr0 project” to Dr. Clarence Gamble. In it, she wrote,
“We don’t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negr0 population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.”
Today, 92% of surgical abortion clinics are within 2 miles of a black community.

Here’s a simple way to get unstuck when you’re worried, overwhelmed, or overthinking a decision.

Ask yourself one question:

What kind of thing am I dealing with?

Most issues fall into one of three categories.

1. Settled Things

These are things that have already been decided.

Your birth family.
Your nation of origin.
Your height.
Your past decisions.
Your upbringing.
Things you did.
Things done to you.

Some of these things were decided by your own past actions. Others were decided by God’s providence. As Paul says in Acts 17:26, God determined our appointed times and the boundaries of our dwelling place.

You can’t go back and change these things.

So the question is not, “How do I undo this?”

The question is, “Does this have any bearing on what I should do now?”

If not, leave it alone. Don’t spend your life fighting settled things.

2. Action Things
These are things you have some real control over.

Your diet.
Your exercise.
Your spending.
Your work ethic.
Your attitude.
Your friendships.
Your theological knowledge.
Your presentability.
Your habits.
Your skills.

These are your controllables.

You may not control everything about your health, finances, relationships, or future. But you usually control more than you think.

So if the issue falls here, don’t overthink it.

Take direct action.

Start small if you have to. Make the call. Go on the walk. Open the Bible. Apologize. Apply for the job. Pay the bill. Clean the room. Do the next faithful thing.

3. Prayer Things

These are things outside your direct control, but not outside God’s control.

The economy.
The weather.
The housing market.
The availability of a suitable spouse.
Other people’s choices.
Timing.
Open doors.
Closed doors.

You can’t force these things. You can’t grab the steering wheel of providence.

But God can act.

So you take indirect action through prayer. You ask. You wait. You prepare. You remain faithful. You do what you can do and trust God with what only He can do.

So ask yourself:

Is this settled?
Then accept it and learn from it.

Is this actionable?
Then do something.

Is this outside my control?
Then pray and trust God.

This is a simple framework, and yes, it’s a little reductionistic. But that’s the point. The goal is not to explain every complexity of life. The goal is to get you unstuck.

Most people waste too much energy trying to change the past, control what belongs to God, or pray about things they simply need to obey.

So categorize the issue.

Then act accordingly.

Accept what is settled.
Act on what is yours.
Pray over what belongs to God.

Happy New Year!

What’s out: cowardice and compromise

What’s in: courage and clarity

2026 is the year we double down on what’s good, right, and true while refusing to give an inch to the Enemy.

Let’s go! 🏹

It really is that simple.

If we want greater prosperity, especially for the poorest people in society, we need more capitalism, and less socialism.

It's counterintuitive for many, but true.

Crypto helps with this by injecting economic freedom (and capitalism) into every country around the world (as long as people have a smart phone and the internet).

Since 1963, 75% of all nationwide injunctions have been against President Trump.

90% of those injunctions came from Democrat-appointed judges.

Yet the Admin has a 92% win rate at SCOTUS.

President Trump isn’t the one abusing his power. It’s Democrat-appointed judges.

@Heritage Looks like the same picture.

@BarackObama @jonesjay The more liberal you are, the more you support violence against your political enemies. An astonishing 8x more "very liberal" people support violence than "very conservative" people. It's hard to both-sides that.
