A free 7-day email course
Seven days.
One meaningful step each day.
There are important things you’ve been meaning to get to — the conversation you keep not having, the idea you keep “praying about,” the thing you’d start if you ever felt ready. That’s exactly the problem. Ready isn’t coming on its own.
No. 01 — The honest part
It isn’t your calendar.
You’re not lazy, and you’re not undisciplined — look at the rest of your life; it works. But somewhere on your desk there’s a short list of things that never move. And if you’re honest about why, it isn’t your schedule.
It’s fear — the reasonable-sounding kind. The kind that wears “I’m not ready yet,” “the timing isn’t right,” and “I’m still praying about it” — and quietly runs the show while you check every other box.
Jesus told a story about a man who buried what he was given and explained it in one sentence: “I was afraid.” Most of us have something in the ground.
The Kickstart is seven days of digging things up — using the same tools clinicians use on fear (you’ll build an actual fear ladder), and the same pattern scripture has always used: small, obeyed, scared steps that God meets in the motion.
“So I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground.”
No. 02 — What you’ll walk away with
Not a feeling. Evidence.
That’s what confidence is actually made of — and it’s what “faith without works is dead” looks like when you flip it around and live it.
- 01 Five stalled things, finally in motion.
- 02 A week of receipts — proof that fear responds to small, scared action.
- 03 A sixty-second composure tool you’ll use for the rest of your life.
- 04 One person who watched you do the hardest one.
No. 03 — The seven days
One rung at a time, all the way up.
One short email each morning. You name the list, you rank it, then you climb — easiest rung first for momentum, the summit last.
- 01
Name the five
The listWrite down five things you’ve been holding back on. The glory filter picks them: what would you try if you knew God would get the glory out of it?
- 02
Build the ladder
The ladderRank them, most-avoided to most-reachable. You just built the exact tool clinicians use on fear — a graduated-exposure ladder, in your handwriting.
- 03
The bottom rung
Rung #5Your most reachable one. Take the most meaningful step you can today. The feeling follows the motion — not the other way around.
- 04
Plan the step
Rung #4One rung higher. One sentence — “when ___, then I will ___” — and fear loses the gap it needs to negotiate.
- 05
Rehearse it
Rung #3Middle of the ladder. Walk through the moment before you live it. David practiced on the lion and the bear before he ever saw Goliath.
- 06
Steady body, settled spirit
Rung #2Second-hardest. A long exhale, a short honest prayer — composure is a minute of work, and it’s trainable.
- 07
The summit
Rung #1The one you’ve avoided the longest. Take the step — and don’t climb this one alone. Fear’s last weapon is isolation.
Seven days from now, something you’ve buried will be in motion.

No. 04 — Who it’s for
Believers who are competent everywhere except the thing that matters most to them. People who’ve heard enough sermons and are ready to do something scared.
If you’re worn down to nothing and need recovery more than a challenge — this may not be your week, and that’s okay. Start with the newsletter and rest first.
No. 05 — Quick questions
- What if my five things are too big to do in a week?
- They probably are — that’s fine. Each day asks for the most meaningful step, not the finished thing. A frozen thing in motion is the win; momentum does the rest.
- What if I miss a day?
- You pick up the next morning — no streaks, no guilt, no starting over. Falling off isn’t failing; quitting is just never starting again.
- Is this going to preach at me?
- It’s faith-first and honest about it — no apology there. But it’s a challenge to run, not a sermon to sit through. One skill and one step a day.
