For all friends and family, I am super excited to announce the official release of my new book, Plan to Win. God gets the credit for all of it!

It is about four toxic motivators that quietly run our lives and our organizations. Fear. Lust. Anger. Pride. And it is about the one thing that replaces them. Vision.

I have created a FREE assessment if anyone is curious as to which toxic motivator might be driving their decisions. Visit plantowintoday.com.

Also, for those of you who helped with the book design. Your copies are going out next week!!!

Thank you for twenty-five years of friendship. I do not take a single one of you for granted.

Peak performance is more than just hitting goals, it’s about aligning mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually. I call that MEPS. Vision gives us clarity to know whether we’re in a valley or on the mountaintop.

Nobody expected Jesus to show up at a baseball game. 👀⚾

But He Gets Us spent $100 million to make sure He did every seventh inning stretch, across every MLB stadium in the country.

Christian marketing doesn't have to be forgettable. This proved it.

Your church is sitting on a content goldmine and not using it. 🍎

Brady Shearer from said something on the R7 Christian Marketing Podcast that every pastor and church leader needs to hear:

The sermon is the low hanging fruit. All the content ideation, all the spiritual and creative effort, all the planning is already done. You just have to stop letting it get preached once and then buried in a YouTube tab nobody clicks on.

Repurpose it.
Share it.
Get it out into the world on platforms that already exist to carry it for free.

The message is already done. The only question is whether anyone outside your four walls ever hears it.

The highest performers I've studied are not always the most talented. 🔥

They're the most grateful.

Bryce Johnson from UNPACKIN' it dropped something simple but powerful on the R7 Christian Marketing Podcast: gratitude changes everything.

Not just spiritually. Performatively.

When you appreciate God, the people around you, and the moments you're in, you stop grinding and start thriving.

Goals have a finish line. Vision doesn't. 🔥

Most people spend their whole lives chasing the next milestone without ever asking why. And when they finally get there, the silence is deafening.

I sat down with Stephanie Nelson () on the Pivotal People podcast to talk about the one shift that changes everything. Not a new goal. A God-centered vision.

Did you know you can catch a spider monkey without a trap? 🐒

You put fruit in a box. The monkey grabs it, makes a fist, and won't let go. You just walk over and pick it up.

I brought this analogy to my conversation with Phil Cooke on the R7 Christian Marketing Podcast. What are YOU holding onto that won't allow you to be free?

Are you communicating your mission as well as you could be?🤔

You don't rise to the level of your expectations.

You fall to the level of your training.

What if your last failure didn't define you at all?🤨💪
Rico Magnelli said something on the R7 Christian Marketing Podcast I haven't been able to shake:
"All my successes and my failures don't move the needle on my self-worth. I don't need validation from success or failure. I got it from Jesus Christ."
For leaders, that's not just a spiritual truth. It's a competitive advantage.
When your identity isn't tied to the last campaign, the last quarter, or the last decision, you lead differently. You take risks. You hear hard feedback without flinching. You build for the long game.
That's what it looks like to lead from your identity in Christ rather than from your results.

In 1980, the average American saw 600 impressions a day. Today it's 17,000.

🧐 So what does that mean for your ministry or organization?

It means you have a sliver of a moment to make an impression and if your marketing hasn't changed since last year, that moment is already gone.

Dr. Dave sat down with Travis Vaughn from Upward Sports to talk about lazy marketing, why good leaders fall into it, and how to find the gaps in your customer experience before they cost you the people God sent your way.
