Today it’s just me. And I’m angry.

I wasn’t supposed to record a solo episode today. I had two guest interviews scheduled. But ten minutes before we were supposed to go live, one of them canceled. “Not feeling well.” At 2 p.m. their time.

And here’s the thing—I have empathy. Life happens. But this isn’t just about today. This is about what I see everywhere: a catastrophic lack of discipline. A refusal to honor commitments. An entire generation that wakes up asking, “How do I feel today?” instead of “What did I commit to today?”

I’ll walk you through:

✅ Why your morning routine reveals everything about the rest of your life

✅ The difference between emotional connection and “emotional safety”—and why one of those terms is destroying your relationships

✅ How Instagram reels are scattering your thoughts like a snow globe—and why that’s the same pattern I see in trauma survivors

✅ Why your feelings should never drive your behavior (and what should instead)

✅ The one thing I’m doing for Lent that will change everything—and why you should too

✅ How discipline gives you freedom (yes, really)

✅ Why farmers don’t quit when the weather’s bad—and what that has to do with your marriage

Whether you’re tired of breaking your own commitments, exhausted from letting your emotions run your life, or drowning in the noise of conflicting advice on social media, this episode is a wake-up call. Discipline isn’t punishment. It’s structure. It’s freedom. It’s the difference between drifting and living intentionally.

🔔 Remember: God gave us free will—the most beautiful gift. That means you have a choice every single day. To love is a decision. To forgive is a decision. To show up and do the hard things is a decision. Park your feelings aside and do what you committed to do.
