@Pastor__West “Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.” I John 3:1

They said, "Go where you're valued." So I ran to God.

@ScottPresler “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.” Jeremiah 29:11

Don’t know what God has in store for me. I often question what is my purpose & if I’m fulfilling that role. Have no idea where life is going to take me, but my mentality & attitude is: I welcome any change coming my way; I ask God to use me as his tool — send me; & I hope to be of service & use this platform to try to make our nation a better place.

@Pastor__West "Finally brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable-if there is any moral excellence and if there is anything praiseworthy-dwell on these things." Philippians 4:8

Don't let negative people rent space in your head. Raise the rent and kick them out.

@zachhomol_ Strong’s Concordance? Yeah dude, that’s super tedious at times lol. I’ve got one as well haha.

@MFoxhunter Yeah i love doing that too My wife especially too We have a book that does those different translation — way more work 🤣

What happens when “Bible changing” information hits the news? Having a physical copy of your bible makes more and more sense Now when you open your Bible app… what’s changed? Will you know? Maybe YOU will…. But will the person “know” in 20-30 years?

@IAmSteveHarvey The quickest way to lose yourself is to lose relationship with God.

The quickest way to lose yourself is ____.

@Cernovich Financially video games are pretty cheap for the money compared to other forms of entertainment. Biggest thing is moderation and not getting sucked into them.

The video game as hobby debate is tedious because it’s no different from online shopping, gossiping in group texts, thrifting, meandering at the farmers market, or scrolling social media. As long as one isn’t neglecting health, business, and family duties, who cares.

@facefuklibtards @Cernovich You can still find places to play it. They provide you with the guns and face masks and you pay for your paintballs. Tons of fun. There’s also Halloween paintball places where you shoot “zombies” with paintballs. Haven’t don’t that yet but on the list haha.

@Cernovich they need to bring paintball back

We try to stay at low-fi as possible. Bike rides. Got the kids a Daisy BB gun. Home gym. Glamping. Those books that are classical music themed, you push the button and it plays an except. Stuff like that. Avoiding video games and tech for as long as humanly possible. Stay human.

@AlexHormozi Not only can you help more people through starting a service or product business to make more money, it also gives you financial leverage to help more nonprofits. Money makes your time compounded.

You will help more people by trying to make money than you will by staying broke. When you insist on “impact” you only virtue signal because learning the game is harder than saying you’re “choosing to make less to help people”. You’re not helping more people. You’re just less skilled with an ego that prevents you from admitting it.

@JackPosobiec “The Lord is the strength of his people; he is a stronghold of salvation for his anointed.” Psalms 28:8

GM Christ is King

@Pastor__West “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.” Psalms 23:5

Nobody watches you harder than the people who know they did you dirty

@creation247 Atheism ends at this life. Christianity gives purpose, legacy, and eternity.

@creation247 When you hold back from giving good feedback, you care more about what the person thinks about you than actually helping and serving them. Same applies to sales, coaching, anything really.

Every time I give feedback online, I’m ruthless. I learned early on: great artists and musicians get harsh feedback from their teachers. To make them better. The audience already holds you to a standard. Why wouldn’t you hold yourself to the same one?

@Cernovich Smartest people I know are prob @MichaelGuimarin and @Cernovich ….y’all see blind spots and recognize things most people don’t.

Our smartest people are still scary smart but they aren’t professors or in politics. They work in finance or software. A smart private equity guy is SMART. Before fiat went crazy, they’d be in chemical engineering. Jane Street quants would be working on the manhattan project.

@AdamLaneSmith If you’ve lived in chaos long enough, stability can feel unfamiliar. Sometimes you gotta remind yourself it’s ok to live without constant chaos.

If you grew up walking on eggshells, stability will feel boring at first.

Which way Western man?

The key to not falling into codependency is God-centered dependence Being anchored in God, so I can love you without needing to control or be completed by you

The closer you get to the light, the more clearly you see the darkness

@JoelOsteen David was anointed King but there was a period between his anointing and appointing. The appointing comes when the valley is done with changing your heart to be more like God’s. Praise God in the valley, because the mountain top is coming!

You can be anointed but not appointed. Don’t try to take matters into your own hands. Trust God’s timing. Let Him do it His way. When we think we’re falling behind, it’s easy to get impatient and try to force things to happen. But God knows how to make up for lost time.

@MichaelGuimarin Health insurance is our biggest expense. Not to mention that if you make more money than expected, you gotta pay back more at end of year back to the government during tax time.

Running the math on this is insane. Here’s the math, slightly adjusted for my wife and me, who were married at 26 instead of 25 but this is roughly accurate. We spend $0 most years on healthcare because we eat well and exercise. Here’s a real-world case study: • Started at age 25 paying $1,000/month in premiums • By age 30 it was $2,000/month • Today at age 38–39 (with 4 kids) it’s $4,000/month That’s roughly 10% annual growth in premiums over 13+ years. The Alternative Plan (“Forced Savings”): • Invest the full premium amount every year in the S&P 500 at 6% • Keep actual healthcare spending very low: $1,000/year base (inflating 4%) + 4 home births at $6k each • From age 45 onward: Take a 2% annual distribution to cover healthcare + living expenses The Results: • Age 39 (today): $464,000 • Age 45: $1.07 million • Age 55: $3.17 million • Age 65: $7.97 million At 65 the 2% distribution would be ~$160,000 per year — and growing. This family would have a nearly $8 million nest egg while still covering real medical needs through low utilization + smart investing. For the record the 6% number is the most important. I used the historical rate, but what if we’d used the actual rate? Using Actual 13.87% S&P 500 Return (Past Period) • Age 25 to 39 (your real 14-year timeline): Monthly investments into the actual S&P 500 at 13.87% annualized total return (with dividends reinvested) while premiums grew at your observed 10% rate would have built the account to approximately $880,000 – $950,000 today (after low medical costs and the 4 home births). • Future projection (age 39 to 65) at conservative 6% annual return: • Age 45: ~$1.8 million • Age 55: ~$5.5 million • Age 65: ~$14.2 million • At age 65 the 2% annual distribution would be approximately $284,000 per year.
