🌟 What is Outreach Ministry? Outreach ministry is not just a term; it's a way of life! It means putting faith into action by helping and serving others. Whether it’s volunteering at shelters or organizing food drives, outreach is how we show love and compassion in practical ways. 🔗 Learn about the vital role of church outreach and how it’s transforming communities in our newest blog. https://hubs.li/Q02wPxcR0 #OutreachMinistry #VisitorReach #FaithInAction

Today felt like the perfect time to jump back into LinkedIn. The last 10-12 months have been quite a journey both personally and professionally. This post isn't meant to relive the last year but to encourage everyone that when your life is turned upside down unexpectedly, it can lead to wonderful outcomes. I found through prayer, reflection, and unwavering support from friends and family, what was initially something extraordinarily difficult became a true blessing. Some will notice I have a "gap" in my work history now. About 4 months. 4 months to jettison a lot of baggage, get my mind and body back to neutral (thank you Brendan Ferns for recommending Getting to Neutral by Trevor Moawad), and to dream again. 4 months to reconnect with my wife and start to make decisions that are focused on me and my family first, not what a job might dictate or require. Call it a gap or a sabbatical or whatever you'd like; I knew in order to be the best for my family and for wherever I chose to go professionally, I had to reset. In October of 2023 I got to meet with some of the team at Grubb Ventures. I wasn't sure if I was ready to come off the sidelines yet. Was I mentally ready? Did I complete my "factory reset?" A few things were clear that were critical to me: 1. The leaders truly cared about the people there. It wasn't lip service or just some core value splattered on a wall. 2. They believed the company was ready to make smart, strategic changes in response to recent growth (I like leading through change believe or not). 3. Grubb cares about the community they live and work in. I joined Grubb as its CFO in November (I know I'm late posting about it). And today we sorted and packed eggs at the Food Bank of Central & Eastern NC. We did it together. Just like we do each day at the office. I'm so thankful to the team at Grubb for choosing me. I'm grateful to everyone who supported me this last year, especially my wife and family. And while I know God doesn't ever have to reveal His plan for me, I'm blessed that He continues to orient my steps.

Helping others helps recovery - it's what The MODE strives for, and is a huge theme in this year's National Recovery Month campaign. Volunteering, spending quality time with a friend, or teaching someone a new skill fosters a feeling of connection and can help drive recovery.

"Many homeschoolers have a great amount of flexibility at home, which is one of the beauties of homeschooling, but that flexibility is not always found on a job.  Learning this can be helpful!” – Cindy LaJoy Quote taken from the SPED Homeschool article, Eight Benefits of Volunteering for Your Homeschool #quoteoftheday #homeschoolfreedom #spedhomeschool
