BUILD THE LIFE YOU'RE PRAYING FOR WITHOUT SABOTAGING THE LIVES YOU'RE PROVIDING FOR.
You don't have to choose between responsibility and the things God put in your heart.
For the writers. The athletes. The entrepreneurs. The leaders. The creators. The providers with potential and purpose who refuse to spend their lives waiting for someday.
Stop waiting for your life to change. Start building it.
YOU'RE PROVIDING IN ONE LIFE WHILE PRAYING FOR ANOTHER.
You go to work.
You provide.
You solve problems.
You take care of people.
You fulfill your responsibilities.
And somewhere underneath all of it is the thing you still feel called to pursue.
The book you haven't written.
The business you haven't built.
The body you haven't trained.
The gift you haven't developed.
The person you haven't become.
You're not afraid of hard work.
You're afraid you'll spend your entire life working hard while waiting to become who you were called to be.

Every year you wait is another year spent:
❌ Giving your best energy to everything except your calling.
❌ Allowing responsibility to become an excuse for complacency.
❌ Calling yourself an "aspiring" writer, athlete, artist, entrepreneur, or whatever God has gifted you to become.
❌ Waiting for your circumstances to change before you begin.
❌ Becoming known for only one part of who you were created to be.
The greatest risk isn't failing at your dream.
It's reaching the end of your life having never faithfully developed what you were given.
You shouldn't have to abandon your responsibilities to pursue your calling.

We tend to believe our real lives will begin when our circumstances finally change.
When we get the promotion.
When we make enough money.
When the kids get older.
When work slows down.
When we finally have time.
I don't believe that anymore.
Your current life is giving you resources:
Income.
Relationships.
Skills.
Discipline.
Experience.
Adversity.
Opportunities.
And when you stop treating responsibility as the enemy of your calling, something changes:
The life you're providing for becomes the vehicle for building the life you're praying for.
AND STARTED BRINGING IT ALL TOGETHER.
I'm a writer.
A speaker.
A competitive sprinter.
A leader.
A professional.
A husband.
And above all, a Christian.
I've published a bestselling book.
Competed as an NCAA sprinter.
Played professional football.
Became a champion powerlifter.
Became an award-winning public speaker.
Built businesses.
Led organizational turnarounds.
Consulted with high performers.
And pursued doctoral education.
I'm also writing fiction, competing again as a sprinter, building a professional career, hosting a podcast, and continuing to figure out what faithful ambition actually looks like.
For years, those things seemed unrelated.
They're not.
They're all expressions of the same pursuit:
Becoming everything God created me to become without neglecting anything He's entrusted me to steward.
That's what I'm documenting here.

HERE'S HOW IT WORKS:
1. PASSION
Develop the gift.
Write the pages.
Build the business.
Make the art.
Run the race.
Develop whatever God put inside you instead of spending your life merely calling yourself "aspiring."
2. PROVISION
Provide for what's been entrusted to you.
Do excellent work.
Lead people well.
Make money.
Build resources.
Serve your family.
Responsibility isn't the enemy of your dream.
Learn to make it serve the mission.
3. PREPARATION
Build the warrior.
Train.
Develop discipline.
Strengthen your body and mind.
Do difficult things voluntarily so you're prepared when life chooses difficulty for you.
Become capable of carrying what you're asking God to give you.
4. PERFECTION
Become like Christ.
"Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect." — Matthew 5:48
Not flawless.
Whole.
Mature.
Increasingly Christlike.
Because none of the other three matter if becoming more successful causes you to become less like Him.
PASSION. PROVISION. PREPARATION. PERFECTION.
Get my Newsletter!WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF YOU STOPPED WAITING?
Imagine making meaningful progress on the work you're called to create.
Having resources to invest.
A body capable of carrying you where you're trying to go.
A career that provides rather than defines you.
Time protected for the people and pursuits that matter.
Faith that determines what all of it is ultimately for.
And measurable progress toward becoming the person you believe God created you to become.
You don't have to abandon the life you're providing for.
You can use it to build the life you're praying for.

The podcast about becoming so good at your job that your job stops consuming your life.
Fast Food Fast Track, hosted by Hunter Charneski and David Taylor, helps restaurant leaders build teams that don't depend on them, reclaim their time, increase their value, and use their careers as vehicles toward something bigger.
We talk leadership.
Delegation.
Accountability.
Culture.
Career advancement.
Profitability.
And building organizations that perform without your constant presence.
But underneath all of it is a bigger question:
What are you trying to build with the life your career provides you?
Because becoming better at your job isn't the destination.
It's how you create the resources to pursue what you're called to do.
