Have you ever known an area of your life needed attention—but felt unsure where to begin? Sometimes we make the next step so big that we never take it. That is where Low-Hanging Fruit comes in.

The Three Scorecards
In my last post, I shared the Eight Domains of Life—a framework I use to see the whole field of my life and steward it more intentionally. But once we identify the different areas we have been entrusted to steward, another question surfaces: How do we accurately evaluate how we are doing? Recently, I gotContinue reading “The Three Scorecards”
Get Your Posse
As I close out this series on stages and seasons, one thing has become especially clear to me: Some parts of life are windows. They open for a time, and then they close. We only get one childhood, one particular age, one season of raising little ones, one version of a chapter. And when theyContinue reading “Get Your Posse”
Winter Is Not Wasted
Pain, Questions & Hidden Formation I’ll be transparent—winter has never been my favorite. Growing up in South Dakota, winter could feel like it went on…and on…and on. The cold.The gray.The waiting. And sometimes life feels that way too. Not the cozy winter with the fire, blanket, and warm drink. I’m talking about the winter seasonsContinue reading “Winter Is Not Wasted”
Fall
If I had to use one word to describe the feeling of fall, it would be this: 👉nostalgic. There’s just something about it… A longing for something familiar. That sentimental feeling you can’t quite explain—like a quiet kind of homesickness…👉 but in the best kind of way. Some of my favorite fall memories take meContinue reading “Fall”
Summer
Growth, Work & Endurance Principle to Tap Into ⇨ STAY FAITHFUL & ENJOY When we think about planting in spring and harvesting in fall… it’s easy to forget something important: Life is lived in between. If all we did was plant and wait for harvest… we would miss so much of what actually makes lifeContinue reading “Summer”
Partnership with God
Principle to Tap Into ⇨ STEWARD + TRUST There’s something important to understand before we go any further… Because everything we’re about to talk about—seasons, growth, harvest… can be approached in a few different ways. You can look at life and think: “It’s all up to me.” or “It’s all out of my control.” ButContinue reading “Partnership with God”
The Four Seasons of Life
Principle to Tap Into ⇨ A.I.M. — APPROPRIATE IN THE MOMENT There’s a verse that has become more meaningful to me the older I get: “Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” —Psalm 90:12 (NIV) And I’ve found myself asking… What does that actually look like? Not justContinue reading “The Four Seasons of Life”
The Step of A Righteous Person: When You’re Not Sure Which Direction To Take
︵‿︵‿︵‿︵ Have you ever stood at the beginning of something…and felt completely stuck? Not because you don’t care—but because it feels overwhelming. Too many moving parts. Too many decisions. Too many unknowns. So instead of moving forward…you freeze. ︵‿︵‿︵‿︵ The Promise We Forget For the follower of Christ, there’s a promise: “The steps of aContinue reading “The Step of A Righteous Person: When You’re Not Sure Which Direction To Take”
Use the Resources You Have
One principle I’ve returned to again and again in my journey of seeking Peace with Food has been this: Use the resources you have. This principle showed up often during that season, and when Peace with Food was published in 2015, it even had a chapter all its own. (Page 194 for any of youContinue reading “Use the Resources You Have”
