We’re 1–5.

And we lost another tough one.

We were leading early.

Played better defense.
Pitched well enough.
Made fewer mistakes.

And still…

we lost.

After the game, I asked the team:

“What did we do well?”

And one of the boys said:

“Nothing.”

And honestly…

I could relate.

Because in the valley…

when you’re not winning…

it doesn’t just feel like you’re losing.

It feels like nothing is working.

Not at work.
Not at home.
Not on the field.

But here’s the truth:

That’s not reality.

That’s frustration talking.

📖 Galatians 6:9 — “Let us not grow weary in doing good…”

In this episode of Summit After the Storm, we talk about:

• Why progress doesn’t always show up in the results• How to lead when your team is frustrated• The balance between truth and encouragement• And what to do when it feels like nothing is working

Because sometimes…

you’re closer than you think.

Even when the scoreboard says otherwise.

If you’re in a season where you’re improving…

but not seeing results yet…

this one’s for you.

I’ve got a lot going on right now.

And none of it feels easy.

I’m learning something new…

App development.

And I’ll be honest…

there’s a real learning curve.

New systems.
New language.
New way of thinking.

And at the same time…

life doesn’t slow down.

Last night I was out hitting baseballs with Noah and Rhys.

One of the boys wanted extra reps.

So we showed up.

Put in the work.

And then there’s the book.

Working with my publisher…

getting ready to record the audiobook.

Which feels like a whole new challenge too.

Different pace.
Different pressure.

Different kind of growth.

And when I step back…

I realize something:

I’m not overwhelmed…

I’m being stretched.

📖 Proverbs 4:18 — “The path of the righteous is like the morning sun…”

In this episode of Summit After the Storm, we talk about:

• What it means to grow in multiple areas at once• Why being a beginner again is part of the process• How to stay consistent when nothing feels easy• And why the valley isn’t where you’re stuck…it’s where you’re being shaped

Because growth doesn’t happen when things slow down.

It happens when you decide to keep going…

anyway.

If you’re in a season where everything feels like a stretch…

this one’s for you.

I’m not going to lie…

I’m feeling it today.

Sore.
Tired.
Slower than I used to be.

And the truth is…

I’m not doing less.

I’ve been pushing more.

Running.
Workouts.
Trying to get in shape for what’s ahead.

But this morning…

my body reminded me of something.

I’m not getting younger.

And I feel it more than I used to.

And that took me back to Kilimanjaro.

Because there were mornings on that mountain…

where your body didn’t feel ready.

Where everything hurt.

Where you questioned how you were going to keep going.

But you didn’t stop.

You took one step.

Then another.

Pole pole.

📖 2 Corinthians 4:16–18 — “Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day…”

In this episode of Summit After the Storm, we talk about:

• What it means to keep going when your body feels it
• Why discipline matters more than motivation
• How aging shifts your mindset—not your purpose
• And why the strongest people aren’t the ones who feel the best…
they’re the ones who keep moving forward anyway

Because the goal isn’t to feel perfect.

It’s to keep climbing.

If you’ve been feeling it lately…

physically, mentally, or emotionally…

this one’s for you.
