In The Master’s Program, we invited you to schedule 12 “offsite” days over a period of three years. Offsite is a marketplace term used to describe days intentionally set aside for you to jump off the hamster wheel and get clarity about your past, your current status and where you’re going. Your TMP offsite was not in […]

Often, the relationship that gets the least attention is the most important.  If our relationship with our spouse is truly the most important one, then wouldn’t our investment strategy with him or her be fully in play?  Why do so many married people default to putting their spouse last? The default state of marital investment has many culprits. We

In The Master’s Program, we are tenacious about helping people find their Kingdom Calling. We call it a LifeMission. God specifically designed you for a purpose. The DNA of that purpose is in your design: your talents, passions, and desired outcomes.   But pay attention to the fact that a LifeMission is aimed at an

I have never seen an angel, but many have told me they have. People usually tell me someone somehow came out of the blue and helped or lifted them up. “It must have been an angel!” they might say. In Biblical times, angels were ordinary. In both the Old Testament and the New Testament, angels

Approximately 73.6% of adults, aged 20 and older, are considered either overweight or obese. Also, according to the CDC, only about 24% of Americans regularly exercise. Could there be a correlation? Why do so many of us fail to exercise our bodies? A lack of strong mind-muscle over the body’s desires is core to the failure.

Studies show that Americans experience crises about 2.5 times a decade. It’s not a question of “if” adversity will visit you. It’s a matter of when!   The study defines crisis as: Most adversity cannot be controlled or prevented. You don’t have the luxury of deciding which crisis you get. You only get to control how

This year’s Easter had some political controversy as the White House celebrated Transgender Visibility Day on the holiest day of the year. Transgender is someone who believes they are a different sex or born in the wrong body. Their belief is strong enough to lead many to transition. Transitioning is the process of surgically reconstructing the body

It’s a common internal struggle between what we call “the flesh” and the spirit. The desires of the body don’t seem to be aligned with the desires of the spirit.  What if they could? Don’t kill the innate interest to serve yourself. Instead, rewire your thinking so that you naturally run toward self-denial as a self-interested behavior.  Jesus
