“Peptides this, peptides that. Ozempic this, Ozempic that…” 😂
PART 2: YES, YOU’RE ALLOWED TO EAT CARBS AND FIBER.

Meanwhile, ask some of the most fit people you know what they eat 5–6 days out of the week and it’s probably something like this:

½ lb ground turkey.
2 over-easy eggs.
Air-fried sweet potatoes.
Melinda’s Ghost Pepper Hot Sauce — or whatever 0-cal sauce you like.
Done. 🦃🍳🍠🌶️

And YES… sweet potatoes have carbs. And fiber. We survived. 😂

Someone commented on the last one, “you must not know how to cook.”

Nah. I can cook.

Cooking the most banger meal possible just isn’t the goal here.

This is pragmatism.

What takes almost no thought?
What meal preps well?
What still tastes good warmed up?
What makes hitting your protein and calories easy enough to repeat tomorrow?

That’s the point.

The fitness community calls it “dog food” 😂 — simple meals, high protein, easy to prep, easy to track, nothing overly exciting.

Everybody wants to talk about the newest hack, supplement, peptide, shortcut, or perfect diet…

Meanwhile, being in shape is still pretty boring most of the time:

Eat enough protein.
Eat mostly real food.
Yes, eat some carbs and fiber. 😂
Train consistently.
Repeat.

And I promise you, your favorite social media fitness influencer eats some version of this ALL THE TIME.

The last viral post I did also showed me how many people need an over easy egg video tutorial.

They are not eating NOBU crispy tuna for lunch every day. 😂

Ask the most fit person you know about what they actually eat all week.

And don’t pretend to be shocked now that you seen this post lol…

Maybe you didn’t need another Reel. Maybe you needed this…

You don’t have to feel close to God before you reach for Him.
Sometimes worship starts before the feelings do. You stop. You turn your attention toward Jesus. You sing anyway. And somewhere in that moment, the noise gets a little quieter.
Trade 60 seconds of scrolling for 60 seconds of worship. 🤍

Send this to someone who could use a moment with Jesus today, and follow @zealchapel for more worship moments in the middle of your feed.

Full worship session available on YouTube.

Thank you @bethelmusic and @thedavidfunk for giving the Church such a beautiful song. 🤍

Unlimited design sounds fake until you realize buffets have been doing it for YEARS. 😂

Yes, unlimited graphic design.
Yes, as many requests as your business needs.
Yes, we can actually pump them out.
And YES, it’s one flat monthly fee.

No hiring another full-time designer.
No paying per project.
No wondering what the next graphic is going to cost.

You bring the appetite. We’ll keep the designs coming. 🍽️🎨

Comment DESIGN and I’ll send you the details 👇

I’m just gonna leave this here for you…

Sometimes I wonder if one of the rules of revival is that as soon as we start talking about it, it’s less likely to happen.

Not because talking about revival is bad. But because somewhere along the way we’ve started treating revival like it’s an outcome we can manufacture.

We shout revival in our messages.
We shout revival in our songs.

The songs are well written.
The sermons are well crafted.

But why do we assume that the more we talk about revival, the more likely it is to happen?

Revival isn’t a lottery ticket.

Revival isn’t a slot machine.

Revival isn’t something we hit with enough repetition like we’re trying to go viral with an algorithm.

When I look at the Great Awakenings, the Welsh Revival, Azusa Street, and other historic moves of God, the common thread doesn’t seem to be people obsessing over revival.

It seems to be people becoming obsessed with Jesus.

Repentance.
Prayer.
Salvation.
The holiness of God.
The transforming power of Christ.

Maybe revival is the fruit, not the focus.

Maybe the Church doesn’t need a better revival strategy.

Maybe we just need a bigger revelation of Jesus.

Tag your favorite Worship Leader so we can discover some great leaders… and let’s discuss in the comments 👇

Prove me wrong:

An amazing Worship Leader can make a good song great, but they can’t make a bad song good.

I’ve seen incredible worship leaders elevate a song through conviction, preparation, arrangement, musicianship, and leadership. But eventually the quality of the songwriting gets exposed.

A great leader can maximize a song.
A great leader can contextualize a song.
A great leader can deliver a song.

But can they redeem a song that simply isn’t well written?

What’s more important:
🎵 The song?
🎤 The worship leader?
🔥 The presence of God moving through both?

Let’s hear it.

One phrase changed how people think about health:
“Sitting is the new smoking.”

It wasn’t memorable because it attacked sitting. It was memorable because it challenged something we’d accepted as normal.

I think creative organizations are approaching a similar moment.

For years, the default response to increasing creative demand has been to hire another graphic designer.

I’m not convinced that’s the bottleneck anymore.

The real bottleneck is often creative leadership.

When designers spend their time interpreting vague feedback, prioritizing requests, chasing approvals, and writing strategy instead of designing, adding another designer rarely fixes the problem.

Creative leadership multiplies creative output.
Better briefs. Better systems. Better prioritization. Better feedback. Better decisions.

If you’re building a marketing, communications, or creative department, I’d love to hear what’s been the biggest bottleneck for your team.

If this resonates, send me a DM. I’d love to compare notes.
(Also... shoutout to @hardeightbbq for the hat. 🤝)
