Jesus didn't spend time and eat with sinners because He wanted to appear tolerant and affirming. He spent time with them to show them He is God, and how to live differently. The Gospel is not about tolerance, it’s about transformation.

That was for you, Coach. We are saddened by Kurt Hester’s passing away earlier today. He inspired us every day to be unbreakable.

You cannot usher a young man into manhood by treating him like a boy. Too many leaders treat their charge like they are a possession. Negative power dynamics in coaching or the workplace create fear, anxiety, shame, guilt & utilize manipulation as a fuel source.

“Trendy” tends to overly bias or create disproportion in performance. Fascia was here & will be here; it is important but not more important than everything else.

A people who refuse to despise one another are immune to authoritarians because an authoritarian’s power depends on certain groups of people despising other groups of people. This is why there’s so much power in Jesus’ words, “love your enemies.” It is an act of resistance.

The quickest path to the target 🎯 may also be the surest way to stagnate long term progression. — 1/4 Squats, OverSpeed, High Arousal, Myopic Exposures to the Same Patterns, Postures & Drills may lead you to the top of the mountain ⛰️…than send you off the edge of the cliff.
