Headed down south to celebrate two of our favorite humans and soak up the last of the Summer sun. 🌴

Just got back from an annual trip out west to .
It’s a time to slow down, thaw out, and settle back into who I am and who I want to be.
It’s partly achieved by not having cell service, partly by honest and vulnerable conversations with other men who are courageous enough to go to those places, and partly by just having fun together.
Slowing down and deep introspection is the catalyst for real change, not merely ‘accountability’. That’s necessary, but we have to get to the root of ourselves for lasting change. It’s a slow process at times — sanctification, some would call it.
Refuge is a place I hold special because it lays a path to a clearer picture of myself. When I can sit with who I am, I can then be better for those who are in my life. Chelsea, Shiloh, and those closest to me benefit from that slowing down as much as I do.
Big thanks to all the boys at Refuge who hosted us, those who said yes to a week of fun and introspection, and our wives who wrangled our kids all week so we can attempt to come back better for them.
What a special time. Until next year.

Wedding week in Jupiter with the familia. 🌴
