  • 3 Keys To Recover After Crisis
    Feb 23 2026

    In our fast-paced lives, we often encounter unexpected challenges—be it personal, professional, or spiritual. How do we respond when life throws us off balance? In this post, I’ll break down the STOP method, a simple yet powerful framework for navigating impacts in life, based on survival psychology principles that I've developed over years of experience.

    • Stop panicking and change your physiology to regain control.
    • Assess your physical and emotional condition quickly to determine next steps.
    • Develop resilience by staying in the fight and not giving up.
    • Use fasting to discipline your body and shift focus from flesh to spirit.
    • Pray from a position of sonship and alignment with God's will.
    • Connect with trusted individuals immediately to aid recovery.

    In survival training, there’s a simple mindset: S.T.O.P.

    1️⃣ **Stop** panicking. Your first reaction should always be to pause and breathe.

    2️⃣ **Think** about your situation. Assess what’s around you and how you can respond.

    3️⃣ **Observe** your environment. What resources do you have? What’s your condition?

    4️⃣ **Plan** your next steps. Taking action, no matter how small, can change your perspective.


    Remember, resilience is key. Just like the saying goes: "Though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again" (Proverbs 24:16).


    Stay in the fight. Keep showing up.

  • Walk On Water Book Review
    Feb 19 2026

    Walking on water requires courage and wisdom to discern your calling. Sometimes, jumping out means taking risks. 🏊‍♂️

    Ortberg illustrates how our comfort zones (the boat) hold us back from transformation. The waves may feel overwhelming, but with the right strategies, you can navigate your way to success.


    This isn't just about business; it's about finding clarity in our purpose!


    So, are you ready to leave the boat behind?
