I lived my lie when my father was dying of cancer. He wanted me to go into business when I graduated from college. I wanted to follow in my grandfather's footsteps and become a police officer. I had a defining choice to make. I could tell my Dad that I was going to follow my purpose, or, out of love and respect for him, I could take a job in the business world. What choice would you have made? My first two jobs out of college were in business. However, after my father died, I followed my purpose and became a police officer. One of the things I'm most proud of in my life is that I never let my dream die. I could have stayed in the business world, where I had a title and was making good money. But that would have been living the lie. That’s the trap of the lie. Your worth isn’t tied to your status, your success, your possessions, or even your identity as the world defines it. Because those things shift, they change. And if your value is built on something unstable, you’ll always feel insecure. This is the core lie I unpack in Four Truths and a Lie—because until we challenge it, we unknowingly live under its weight. If this resonates with you, check out my book, Four Truths and a Lie.

One of the most damaging beliefs we carry is this: your worth is determined by what you have or who you are. It sounds subtle, almost logical—but it shapes how we measure ourselves every day. Our success, status, appearance, titles, and even how others perceive us become the yardstick for our value. But here’s the truth: your worth was never meant to be earned, proven, or compared. Your value isn't about what you get, it's about what you give. In Four Truths and a Lie, I unpack what may be the greatest lie we believe about ourselves: that our value is conditional. Conditional on achievement. Conditional on approval. Conditional on identity. And when we believe that lie, we live in constant pursuit—never fully at peace, never fully enough, never fully fulfilled. What if your worth isn’t something you build… but something you already possess? What if your worth was about emptying yourself out with your unique gifts and talents...for the betterment of yourself, your family and friends, and humanity? 👉 If this resonates with you, check out Four Truths and a Lie.
