The goal of all your effort isn’t the accomplishment. You are never done. You never reach the end of the horizon. There is always something else to chase. A new mountain to climb. Something to learn. Something to improve.
This month’s pursuits led me to some pretty incredible books and podcasts. Below are two books and three podcasts that moved the needle for me this month and helped me grow.
The last Monday of each month I peel back the layers and share the things that have the greatest impact on me. I hope these resources are helpful and brighten your day. If you enjoy it, pass it along.
Ryan and Selena Frederick create remarkably helpful marriage resources. Their blog Fierce Marriage is regularly mentioned within the marriage ministry at our church. They produce truly helpful content. So, I ordered a pair of 31 Day Pursuit Challenges for Hannah and I as our anniversary approached this year.
We are still working through the work books, but have found them a joy. While you won’t find new ideas or concepts, you will find a resource that sets you on the path to deepening your relationship.
If you’re staggering into the week, this episode will get you squared away and fired up to take on the week ahead. I literally couldn’t take notes fast enough during this one. One of my favorite takeaways is that there is no finish line. There is only the chase. The chase to become the best version of you you’re capable of. It’s about the infinite game. Always learning. Always pushing. Always growing.

This two-part series is abundantly helpful. “Leaders,” Todd says, “need to have a bias toward decision making and action.” This two-part series will help you move from inaction to action, and aide you in making better decisions in all areas of life.
Hannah and I read this book with our Community Group last year and are now revisiting it with our Foundation Group. If you are unclear on the difference, a Foundation Group is collection of newly married couples paired with a mentor couple. Hannah and I have the privilege to serve as leaders for an amazing group of young married couples. We kicked off our study of Keller’s book this past week.
