From Jeremy: I want you to meet Josh and Bethany Kennedy. After finding themselves homeless, friends, family and strangers reached out to help them. And they learned the power of love and helping those in need. This is their story about starting a non-profit called Klothe-a-Kid and stepping into their secretly incredible story. You can […]
If you have chosen to live a better story, then a day will come when you will consider quitting. Giving up. Going home. And these are the moments when our story hinges on the decision we make. Do you keep moving forward? Or do you walk away? Knowing that this moment is coming, you can […]
When we think of living better stories we focus on the big stuff. What job will I take? Where will I live? Will I quit my normal job that I hate and start doing that job that I have always dreamed of but offers me less security? Whom will I marry? Should I move to […]
From Jeremy: I want you to meet Ernie Battershell. His story was submitted by his nephew Cole Bradburn. I love how Cole told his uncle’s story through a different format. Living better stories often means not living by the rules. It means avoiding normal and doing something better. I hope Cole’s poem about his uncle reminds […]
You know you should, but you just can’t bring yourself to do it. You know that it would a good idea, maybe even a great idea, but you can’t get yourself to say yes. So you just walk away. Afraid. This old, tired story that gets told too many times in our lives. The Love […]

From Jeremy: When we think of incredible people, we limit our search by looking for the obvious. We think of leaping tall buildings in a single bound. Influencers with a platform. Or whoever gets the most votes. But being incredible isn’t about the magnitude of what you do. It is about the ability to change lives […]
Last Monday, I wanted to quit everything. Not a few things. Not most things. Everything. The Perfect Storm My day developed into a perfect storm of work and lost necessities and people getting hurt all piled on top of the normal demands of a Monday morning. LIke most storms, it began with a calm. I […]
I love being a father. Most of the time. The days are long. Noise. Phone calls. Problems. Complaints. Relentless distraction. It is evening, kids are getting ready for bed. I grab my book and settle into a quiet place. For the first time all day, quiet in my mind and my soul. The silence is […]
From Jeremy: I feel awkward saying it, but I met Dr. Dan Galat on the internet. As I was getting ready for my first overseas mission trip, I googled “orthopedic surgeon Africa” and his blog appeared. Six months later when I spent a week with him at Tenwek in Kenya, I discovered that I had met […]
