Taking time today to get outside with the family and reflect on our RPMS.

​🤝 Relational: Investing in the precious lives God placed in my care.
💪 Physical: Receiving the gift of Vitamin D—literally designed by God to strengthen the 'temples' we live in.
🧠 Mental: Surrendering the 'to-do list' noise for the peace that only comes from being still.
🙏 Spiritual: Remembering that the same hand that directs the wind under this kite is the hand that holds my future.

​God didn't just give us the sun for light; He gave it to us for life. Every ray of sunshine is a reminder of His detail-oriented love for our health.

​How are your RPMS today? Are you taking a moment to look up?

Starting off the month with a calendar date with the wife. What does that look like for us?

We don't just look at deadlines or workouts; we look at the stewardship of our lives.

​🙏 Prayer First
​We always start by talking to God. We ask Him to "search our hearts" and help us lead the family with humility rather than just checking boxes.

❤️ People Over Programs
We get intentional about the Relational side of our RPMS. We look at the calendar and specifically carve out time for:
The Kids: Making sure they get the best of us, not just the tired version of us at the end of the day.
Each Other: Prioritizing our marriage so we stay "filled up".
Our Crew: Planning when we’re grabbing coffee or hosting friends, because community is where we find our second wind.

​Margin for the "Yes"
​One thing we’ve learned: if your schedule is 100% full, there’s no room for the Spirit to move. We leave "open space" on purpose. It gives us the breathing room to say "yes" when an unexpected opportunity to serve someone pops up.

How are your "RPMS" looking for the month? If you haven’t scheduled your rest and your relationships yet, this is your sign to grab your calendar.

It's going to be a cold one this weekend❄️. Stay warm, eat well, and get in your macros with this high protein white chicken chili. This is a family favorite at our house we thought we would share with you. Even our kids love it!

Ingredients:
​1 tbsp olive oil
​1 small yellow onion, chopped
​2 garlic cloves, minced
​2 1/2 cups chicken bone broth
​2 (4 oz) cans diced green chilies
​1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
​1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
​1/2 tsp dried oregano
​1/2 tsp paprika
​2 scoops unflavored collagen peptides
​1/2 small lime, juiced
​Salt and pepper, to taste
​2 (15 oz) cans Great Northern beans
​1 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
​1 cup corn
​4 heaping cups cooked chicken, shredded

​Instructions:
​1️⃣ Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté until softened (3–5 minutes). Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.

2️⃣​ Stir in the chicken bone broth and green chilies. Add the cumin, cayenne, paprika, oregano, lime juice, and the collagen peptides. Whisk until the collagen is fully dissolved. Season with salt and pepper.

3️⃣​ Drain and rinse the beans. Place one large ladleful of beans into a food processor or blender with a splash of the broth. Puree until completely smooth.

4️⃣​ Add the pureed beans, the remaining whole beans, and the corn to the pot. Bring to a simmer and cook uncovered for 15–20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the broth to thicken.

5️⃣​ Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the Greek yogurt and the 4 cups of shredded chicken. Stir until the chicken is warmed through and the chili is creamy. If it is too thick add more bone broth to thin it out.

6️⃣​ Garnish with cilantro, avocado, or a sprinkle of shredded cheese for an extra small protein boost.

Enjoy! Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

My wife helps to coordinate a wonderful retreat for women each year, , The R&R Retreat was created as a way for women to rest their bodies and minds and to reconnect with the ultimate Refuge, Jesus Christ.

So I wanted to donate a gift basket for their raffle this year, something that supports the whole woman—body, mind, and spirit.

Fuel & Recovery: A ton of supplement samples (stress support, sleep aids, vitamins, pre-workouts, and protein!) generously donated by my friends at

🧘‍♀️ Movement Gear: A new yoga mat, resistance bands, and shaker bottle for movement wherever you are.

💪 Guidance from me: A FREE 4-Week Personal Training Coaching package! This includes a custom program design tailored to your life, nutritional and supplement help, and 4 virtual check-in sessions with me to answer questions, program adjustments, and keep the winner encouraged.

Praying this weekend is a time of deep rest in Christ for every woman attending.
