Your story / your standards / faith is the bridge
I said something on a podcast this week I want you to sit with. Your story explains where you've been. Your standards determine where you're going. But the bridge between them is faith. Without faith attached to your story, you're just a man carrying his past. Without faith attached to your standards, you're just a man chasing a future he doesn't actually believe is real. A lot of men I work with have the story down cold. They can tell you exactly where they've been. A lot of them have the standards too. They know who they want to be. But the bridge is cracked. That crack is the reason you can see exactly where you want to go and still not move. It's not discipline you're missing. It's not a better plan. It's faith. If you've been stuck between your story and your standard, this is the one to sit with. I'm in your corner.
