Yesterday I walked in the dew with my shoes off. I did this to feel alive, but it almost didn’t happen.

You see, after I eat breakfast, I’m on my way upstairs to get ready for work. My wife asks if I would see her garden. She’s been pulling and planting for days now, her vegetable garden in our backyard.

It won’t take much for me to visit her garden. But I hesitate—I’m already thinking of the work tasks to tackle when I sit down at my desk. They are so...

In celebrating the Ascension of Christ, we've created smaller bite-sized videos. Enter into the wonder of the Ascension in smaller pieces or watch this longer video (35 mins) to get them all at once.

The videos are:

• Part 1: What is the Ascension?
• Part 2: What does the Ascension say about Christ?
• Part 3: How can we follow Christ as our Ascension Leader?
• Complete Message: What difference does the Ascension make today?

Let us celebrate Jesus the King.

As you know, we're counting down the days until Ascension Sunday so we can celebrate what the Ascension is all about.

In this video, we answer, "How can we follow Christ as our Ascension Leader?"

We're counting down the days until Ascension Sunday.

In this video, we see what the Ascension says about Christ.

This Sunday is Ascension Sunday, so we're going to count down until that day. Although the Ascension was a major event in the life of Jesus, not many of us pay much attention to it.

We think of the major events of Christ's life:

• Christmas (the birth of Christ)
• Good Friday (the death of Christ)
• Easter (the resurrection of Christ)

And we forget the Ascension. But the Ascension matters a lot.

We created a series of videos to celebrate Jesus the King. You can watch bite-sized messages or the...

I’ve been pushing a few personality assessments lately. Specifically, Strengths and the Enneagram. But here’s my little secret…it’s not really about the assessments. It's about The Four Pursuits. Here's what I mean by that.

Sure, I enjoy connecting with you over learning opportunities like:

• Enneagram Bootcamp for Strengths Coaches (doors close today at Noon ET)
• Online Strengths Workshop
• Online Enneagram Course
• Strengths or Enneagram Assessment and Coaching Session

The great author Annie Dillard wrote, “You were made and set here to give voice to this—to your own astonishment.” We have several of her books at our creek-side cabin, particularly because she writes of her own creek with such intricate detail and breathless joy that you feel you want to participate in the fellowship of the creek with her.

And so we do, and many lines from her writings stick with me. One of them is the above. She suggests, even urges us to give voice to...

Lots of people have been asking us questions about Strengths and the Enneagram.

Some came from our introductory webinar on the intersection of both tools. Some came from our next-level webinar on taking a deeper dive. Some came from our Enneagram workshop. Some will come from our upcoming Strengths workshop. Either way, they're good questions.

(If you have a question, you can submit one the bottom of this page.)

If you had one tool to use first, which one would you choose and why?

I would use...
