  • Episode 29 | Clock or Compass? Weekend Reflections for the 2.0 You
    Aug 1 2025

    🧭 This week’s Friday fire is a soul-check — not for shame, but for alignment. Paul and Joey challenge you to reflect:

    “What did I do this week that proves the 2.0 version of me is real?”

    If the answer stings, that’s not failure. It’s feedback. Awareness is your starting line. From there? It’s all about alignment and intention.

    ⛪ Weekend Mindset Reset:

    The compass doesn’t take weekends off.

    Your habits, your voice, your example — especially to your kids and spouse — still matter when the calendar says “off day.”

    Don’t chase perfection. Chase presence.

    • 30 distraction-free minutes with your kids

    • A walk with your spouse — phone down

    • Showing up on time, grounded, and present

    Your identity is revealed in what you choose — not what you say.

    📖 Scripture Reflection:

    “So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” — 1 Corinthians 10:31

    👊 Challenge for the Weekend:

    Choose one intentional moment and live it out like the 2.0 version of you is already here.

    Because clock or compass — you get to choose your guide.

  • Episode 28 – One Brick at a Time: Don’t Just Dream, Design
    Jul 31 2025

    🔥 Welcome to Foundations | Episode 28 – “One Brick at a Time: Don’t Just Dream, Design” 🔥

    Today’s brick is vision into practice. Dreams are powerful—but if they’re not backed by design, they fade. In this short Thursday drop, Paul and Joey remind us that identity isn’t built in a single moment—it’s laid, one brick at a time, through intentional, daily decisions.

    We explore the real difference between dreaming and doing—and how to move forward with purpose by embracing rhythm, structure, and faithfulness in the small things.

    📖 Foundation Verse:

    “Ponder the path of your feet; then all your ways will be sure.” — Proverbs 4:26

    🧱 Brick of the Week:

    Pick one non-negotiable habit that proves your identity. Name it. Write it down. Live it.

    💥 Foundational Reminder:

    The man you’re becoming isn’t built in theory—he’s built in practice.

    📌 Reflection Question:

    What brick did I lay today that aligns with who I say I’m becoming?
