A Pivot Lesson about a Bird and a Window
It sometimes amazes me how often little things in life remind me of critical life lessons. Well today is no exception. While sitting in the lobby of my wife's office building, I witnessed a dove flying right into a building window and dying instantly. Yes, that is sad. But I thought...there must be a lesson for me in that. So in this episode, I want to share the lesson that was given to me once again...this time by a dove. So grab a beverage, have a seat at my table and let's chat on the Pivot to Prosper Podcast.

How do I become more motivated?
Have you ever said, "I need to do this thing but I just don't feel motived?" Yeah, me too. But I suggest that motivation is not driven by feelings. Sure, it is impacted by them at times, but feelings are not the catalyst for becoming more motivated. I suggest that motivation comes through purpose, and purpose comes through asking the deeper "why?". So, grab your favorite beverage and give a listen to this week's episode of the "Pivot to Prosper" Podcast.

The Time To Stand up for What You Believe
There comes a moment in time when all of us have to take a stand about our convictions. I will also say…that's not always easy. Such is the case for me. I was raised, trained, and educated in Evangelical churches and graduate schools. I worked in Christian schools and found myself under the authority of those who solidly held to conservative Evangelical beliefs around the LGBT+ issue. But for me, the teaching didn't align with my spirit or me as a person. How could, or would, a mighty God create people as queer and then make them deny who they truly are? I couldn't get my head and heart around…
