If you could go back in time and tell this kid that one day he’d be the lead singer of the band on his shirt, there’s not a chance in the world he’d believe you.
I grew up listening to Anberlin. Their music was the soundtrack to so many moments of my life, long before I ever imagined I’d have the opportunity to share a stage with them, let alone make an album together.
Today, CURRENCY is out in the world. An album I had the honor of writing and recording with a band that helped shape who I am as a musician.
Sometimes the dreams you never even thought to dream are the ones that end up coming true.
I wish I could tell this kid what’s coming. ❤️
CURRENCY. OUT NOW.

Shai is having a blast out there. Shows off the handle, and lets the kids sitting courtside help him up.
Look at their faces. He just made their year lol.

Forrest Frank has gone viral for posting a video about how Christians MUST stand against abortion and “transitioning” children!
This is INCREDIBLE to see coming from a famous Christian artist!🔥

If your version of Jesus…
+Supports abortion.
+Celebrates lifestyles that Scripture calls people to repent of.
+Affirms the idea that we can redefine the gender God created.
+Claims there are multiple ways to Heaven.
Then you’re following a false Jesus.
You’re not worshipping the Jesus of Scripture. You’re worshipping your own ideologies and simply attaching His name to them.

Dennis Rodman made a valid point.🔥
“MJ wouldn’t be as good as LeBron today? You mean he wouldn’t be as good at flopping? Yeah, that part he can’t do. When I was in Detroit trying to take his head off, he never hit the floor screaming. That was a league where you earned every bruise. Don’t talk to me about today’s soft rules and LeBron’s four rings from team hopping. My guy got his where scoring was a fistfight, not a parade to the free-throw line. Put MJ in this era with open lanes and no hand checks, he’d average 40-50 a night without breaking a sweat. No super teams, no recruiting tours—just domination. If you think MJ wouldn’t be as good as LeBron now, you have no idea who Michael Jordan was.”

All of us NBA fans 100% agree with Dennis Rodman’s opinion.

We are in this golden window. Kids are 13, 11, 8 and 5.
My wife and I talk about it often.
No more baby stage and we don’t yet have the wild older teenagers and driving kids.
It’s why I’m not afraid to spend a lot of money, within budget, on travel and vacations and experiences with my children right now.
My travel budget in 2027 is about $30,000.
And I’m thrilled about it.
Retirement will come and we’ll be fine, because I’ve been planning for that for 18 years.
I won’t get these years back so we are making the most of them.
We tell young people in our society that end of the rainbow is retirement at 65.
We ought to tell them that "there is going to be this short but beautiful golden window from roughly age 3 to roughly age 12 where your kids are not only easy (comparatively to bottles & diapers), but are going to be these beautiful little creatures and it will pain your heart to be away from them for too long. So, prepare in your 20's, financially and career wise, to build that flexibility into that chapter of your life".
You don't get another shot at living the "golden window". And, for me, leaning hard into that golden window has made everything else in my life feel fairly insignificant in comparison. I have made plenty of mistakes as a father, but what I won't have is the regret of having been distracted and absent from these formative years. In some cases, that has required financial sacrifices (declining a particular career opportunity that would have required relocation), but I personally have zero regrets.
I also hear from some ambitious & successful people with a 4 year old that say "I've lost my ambition, I am so immersed in fatherhood". At least for me, and a number of my friends, it comes back. You can't keep an ambitious person down and if you have the fire, hanging at a playground on too many Tuesday afternoons is going to feel like torture after too long.
My three boys are approaching 13, 11 & 9, and it's much different than 7, 5 & 3. This summer, for example, they slept until 11am and I hard an unencumbered 6am-12pm to work (being on PT helps), then got another great window 7-11pm, but was able to be present in the heart of the day, then weeks when they were at basketball camp, etc. It gets easier, your time frees up again (there's a sadness to that too), but I'm back to working as intensely as I did pre-kids just because my day to day presence requires fewer hours than it did before (also, my wife is just superbly wonderful). And that is the beautiful gift of entrepreneurship (or at least my sort of business), the ability to deliver still a high level of output but work that around your life rather than the opposite.
TLDR, grind before, and grind after. Prepare for the golden window.
