You might be one who can work all day and feel great. And maybe you struggle to take a vacation. Maybe you think productivity is next to godliness.

If you're like Brad and I -- that's us nodding our heads. But Brad had a mentor that wouldn't let go of him until he could see that drivenness is ruining his life. Not the fact that he is driven (Brad didn't give that up) but the fact that he felt he wasn't enough unless he achieved X, Y, and Z.

Brad's marriage journey is pretty powerful and directly relates If Brad was more committed to his work than his marriage -- his wife feels betrayed. As many wives do who have this dynamic in their marriages.

There are many out there who sacrifice the possibility of peace and joy in their lives filled up as Christ intended without this mindset shift. Even Christians.

God is sufficient.

God rested.

Let's abide in Him.

PPS - Here is a quote from a recent Coaching program graduate:
"My contact with DYM has completely transformed my life. I was depressed, pessimistic, shackled by shame, and largely unaware of who I was and what effect I was having on my family.

Through the skills and habits I learned in DYM God has truly made me a new creation. I now look forward to each new day and have a deep, healing, life-giving relationship with God that has freed me from shame, depression, and self-loathing."

Today marks the day that God stooped so low to live a perfect life and die a gruesome sinner's death -- to save you. And save me.

Why?

Not because we were perfect.

Not because we could earn His love.

Who could earn that?

But because He decided we were worth it.

We aren't deserving of His sacrifice because we're so great -- it's because HE'S so great.

He's so good, kind, and gracious that He decided we were priceless to come and rescue.

And if you are priceless -- a prized treasure Jesus came to save...

Is your spouse?

If the answer is yes...

Are you treating your spouse like they are Jesus' prized treasure? Priceless in the eyes of the God of the Universe?

Do you believe they are?

In today's episode, I hope to remind you of how loved you are by the Lord.

And with that in mind, I hope you also remember how loved your spouse is.

May that encourage us to love each other better and with a fuller heart.

Blessings,

Belah

I'm speaking to a man who wants to fix things. He is not a whiner, complainer, or blamer. He's interested in taking responsibility and making things better. But if he's really honest with himself, sometimes he feels that his wife prioritizes the kids above him.

If you're in that category, I'd like to speak to you directly. You're right, it's not ok. This isn't a good dynamic. And if she's a Jesus-follower, it's also not biblical.

Ok.

Now that that's settled.

What do you do?

The thing you CAN control is yourself. You can update the lens by which you are evaluating the situation.

As a driven guy you know that if you do the same thing in business, you'll get the same results. But if you shift gears and do something else -- you'll see different results.

That's what I'm inviting you to do today. Shift gears. Try on a different set of lenses and see if God can change your marriage through you.

Let's go.

Here to see you win,

Belah

PPS - Here is a quote from a recent Coaching program graduate:
"I was living in a repeating cycle of expecting sex, not being fulfilled by it because of her lack of desire for me, being angry at her for not trying to connect with me in the relationship, holding it in for as long as possible, then trying to "fix it" by talking to her about it or lashing out at her..[Now,] The biggest celebration I have had would be my change in perspective…I have learned that as a husband and father it is up to me to set the tone in our family. I am now living in God's purpose and design and the pieces around me are falling into place. Realizing that it's not what happens around me but how I see it and react to it has been the biggest blessing from this course."
