Get healthier.

Get wealthier.

Have better relationships.

These are the most common New Year’s resolutions.

Most people think they just need the right plan to reach these goals.

The right diet. The right budget. The right communication tools.

But here’s the thing.

Right plans fail when you can’t tend to your emotions.

When you can’t resist the treat. When you can’t stick to your budget. When you lose your temper again.

The root cause of failure is failure to tend to emotions.

Learn how to do this well in today’s episode.

You provide financially for your family.

But do you provide emotionally?

Are you an emotionally safe place for your wife?

Does she feel like you are on her team?

Can she feel your devotion to her?

Are you a model of emotional strength and safety to your kids?

Can you soothe yourself through difficult emotions, and help your children do the same?

If you’re like most men, the answer to this is no.

And that’s why your marriage and family life is struggling more than it needs to be.

And, why you’re struggling more than you need to.

Learn to build the skill of soothing yourself, so you can be a safe, strong support for your family…

Maybe your marriage isn’t where you want it.

Your wife isn’t connecting with you physically or emotionally…

Or maybe you’re facing separation or divorce.

Maybe your kids are driving you crazy with their disrespect, ignoring or other issues.

Or, maybe there are other things that are just crap right now.

Well, it could very well be that this is just the manure time.

The stinky, gross time that is required for growth.

It’s not fun. It’s terrible.

But, if you can stay consistent through it…

A beautiful garden is on the other side.

Sometimes the best you can do is just show up.

And that's part of being a grounded leader.

That's what today is about.

Showing up and putting the podcast up because I committed to myself and to my listeners to do it.

So, if you're feeling like the most you can do is just show up...

Know that at the end of the day, showing up matters.

What is God like?

How does He respond when you do what’s “right?”

How does He respond when you do what’s “wrong?”

How does God feel about achievement?

The answers to these questions shape a large amount of your relationship with God.

They will also shape how you feel towards God, how you feel like God feels towards you, and therefore how much time you will WANT to spend with God.

If you’re like me, you’ve spent a lot of time feeling like God is much more “with you” when you’re doing what’s right vs when you’re doing what’s wrong.

To me, that creates an unsafe relationship with God. One that’s based on performance. And therefore, you won’t want to spend that much time with Him.

Now, I believe God is with me no matter what I’m doing. And, he encourages me to do things that will bring the most fulfillment… but is with me even if I don’t.

This has helped me feel much more safe with God, and so I like spending time with Him much more.

Learn more in today’s episode.

Your relationship with God is the FOUNDATION to being Grounded in God.
