Why the world needs the unique person God created you to be. One of the devotions in Soul Weathered is called A Role Only You Can Play. It's built on a truth that has shaped the way I've looked at people for years. Long before you were born... before anyone knew your name... before your parents held you... God knew you.

There’s a lot written about habits. Morning routines. Disciplines. The things successful men do to start their day. I understand the value in that. But what has shaped my life the most… isn’t a routine. It’s a posture. I wish I could tell you I practice it perfectly every day. I don’t. But it’s something I return to again and again.
