Life to the Fullest

Ever feel like you’re in a wasteland?

I do.

In fact, one day, I was hit with a vision of a true wasteland — everything gray, burnt, and desolate — and in my heart I knew that this wasteland represented our broken world.

I have experienced seasons in the wastelands…

  • I have lost my deepest and longest-standing relationships.

  • I have faced 15+ year addictions and the wounds undergirding them.

  • I have struggled and spiraled in entrepreneurial pursuits.

These seasons were painful, but I knew that my story didn’t end there.

Neither did this vision. In the midst of the barren wasteland rested a lush, inviting forest, and in my heart I knew that this was something to create for others.

This forest was to be teeming with what I had both loved, and lacked, during those wasteland seasons:

  • Authentic, life-giving relationships

  • Caring, committed mentorship

  • Intentional, high-caliber coaching, and

  • Honest, encouraging environments to test and refine ideas

Why does this matter?

Because we are not supposed to just survive here on earth. We are meant to be fully alive! We need an environment — a safe, positive, empowering, fertile one— to live abundant lives.

My dream is for 4est to become the lush, green, life-giving space that you, and I, and so many others desperately crave in order to become who we’re destined to be.

Let’s decide to grow. Let’s demand more of life and of ourselves. Let’s step out of the barren wasteland and into the fully-alive forest, together.

Grow on,
