What is The Weekly Baseline?

  • A Weekly, Members-only reset for people carrying leadership, family, and life

  • One anchor truth, a grounded reflection, and a 7-day baseline plan

  • Written prayerfully and curated with care, the way a pastor would prepare something meant to steady people, not impress them

  • Not a paid member yet? Use the 7-day trial

One quick note

My faith shapes how I think and lead. These baselines draw from Scripture, but the practices are designed to strengthen anyone leading under real pressure.

The Anchor for the Week

“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.” Colossians 3:23 (NIV)

There are stretches in leadership where you are doing the right things, showing up consistently, carrying the responsibility entrusted with you… and yet the feedback is quiet.

No affirmation.
No correction.
Nothing that tells you whether what you’re doing is landing or not.

This is where leaders can quietly lose their footing because they start interpreting silence as a signal to perform differently.

You’re not off track, but the silence can start to mess with you if you’re not careful. Here is how to stay grounded and deliver when things go quiet.
