To me, intentional living means living with purpose. The choices that I make no longer just affect me but my family and, on a larger scale, my community. My thoughts guide my reality, so I must curate my environment in order to continue striving towards my goals and my why. This may seem daunting and exhausting, but once you accept that you are powerful beyond your wildest dreams and truly believe it, then you are one choice away from changing the trajectory of your life.
To us, intentional living means having a clear understanding of our family's mission and values. Then crafting, refining, and implementing a plan that aligns with those values and moves us forward in our mission.
To live intentionally is to create a life that allows you to spend your time living out your purpose and building God's kingdom on earth. Okay, so what does that look like for me? It means multiplying the gifts I have to love and serve others. It means making sure my calendar is aligned with my priorities: God, Family, Friends, Health, Career. It means having the financial and time flexibility to take that trip to Patagonia to backpack with friends, fly back home to pour into my family whenever, spend time in deep conversation with a loved one, take a career risk to pursue an exciting opportunity, or give generously to someone going through a difficult season. Living intentionally unlocks us to become the best version of ourself, the version of ourself we were always meant to become. Stay giving, stay growing, and stay humble.

We define our lifestyle by living simple and put more attention to what matters most.
Intentional living is the conscious choice to live a purpose-driven life, acknowledging that we have only one life to live. It's a mindset that encourages me to be present, focused, and mindful in every moment, ensuring alignment with my values, passions, and long-term vision. By living intentionally, I strive to make the most positive impact possible in the world, cultivating meaningful relationships, pursuing personal growth, and contributing to the greater good.

Intentional living is a beautiful journey of embracing each moment with purpose and clarity. It’s about making choices that resonate deeply with your heart, aligning your actions with your true values and dreams. This practice invites you to reflect on what truly matters, allowing you to cultivate a life rich with meaning and fulfillment. It’s a commitment to living authentically, nurturing connections, and savoring the experiences that bring joy and passion. In this way, you create a life that reflects who you are and what you cherish most. As Toni Morrison said, “Life is not a rose garden. It’s a journey, a quest. Be true to yourself and you will succeed.” This quote beautifully encapsulates the essence of living with intention, guiding us to embrace our authenticity as we navigate our unique paths.
Intentional living means to live your life with purpose and specific goals in mind. These goals include every aspect of what makes you a human; your mind, body, and spirit. In our family, we determine our purpose and goals by surrendering to God's original design as revealed through the Bible. Through relationship with Jesus, we desire to be transformed in the way with think and interact with the world, how we eat and take care of our body, and how we relate with God and His creation.
Waking up every day striving to become my most impactful version of myself, not only for my own growth but also to uplift and inspire my network. Through intentional actions, empathy, and a commitment to excellence, I aim to leave a positive mark on the lives I touch and the world around me.
Intentional living, to me, means providing for my family while keeping God at the center of everything I do. It's about offering love to everyone, for love is the greatest weapon of all. Growing continually in all areas of life, and helping others grow as well. Ultimately, it’s striving to be a man of integrity and strength—a man amongst men.
Live for Christ and His kingdom. Love generously.
To give hope to the hopeless and leave a legacy worth talking about for generations.
Living with purpose, understanding what drives you and aligning your actions with your core values. It's about waking up each day with a sense of clarity and direction, knowing that your efforts contribute to something greater than yourself, It encourages you to make a positive impact on the world around you, fostering a legacy that endures beyond your own lifetime.
The reality is that Yahweh has abundantly blessed me far beyond what I deserve. Sacrificing His only Son, giving me salvation in Jesus's death and resurrection. This could have been the only gift I ever needed, and it would have been enough. But God... in His goodness, has blessed me with more. Therefore, to live intentionally is to demonstrate Christ's sacrificial love by serving others and "As for me and my house, we WILL serve the Lord" Joshua 25:15.
Intentionally keeping God First, Spouse Second, Kids Third, and everything else falls into place.
We, as a family, believe intentional living is living with knowing our goals and our purposes, while living it out. Knowing this, we have always said everything may seem important to us but not everything is a priority. We ensure this will to be true by making sure we invest our time and energies on the things that are our priorities. This means investing in our faith over activities, our family over accomplishments, and our community over the shiny objects we can collect in this world. To us, this is what it means to live intentionally.
Intentional living is a function of time and how purposeful you can be with it. It’s about tending to the most important, nurturing key relationships with God, family, and those closest to you (not to mention relationships you may want to develop/cultivate), and engaging in activities that energize you.
Focusing on your goals daily and taking the steps towards them in order to create prosperity & abundance in all areas of your life!
Jesus answered, “The foremost is, ‘Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is one Lord; and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ The second is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.” Mark 12:29-31
To be kind, show grace and surround myself with people who will bring joy to others ♡
Ensuring that the most important in this life is not neglected amidst all the demands in life, striving to have Christ central so as to lead one's family well and then those within the allotted community...so as to do His Will as best one can and get back on track as soon as one can if one goes astray.
Intentional living, for me, is thinking with the outcome in mind, not simply living on autopilot and doing things because “it’s just the way things are done.” There is a better way - rather than leaving things up to chance, fate, or happenstance, I want to be intentional. Intentionally living for Christ. Intentionally leading my family well. Intentionally being a father and disciplining my children. Intentionally serving those I work with. Intentionally serving in my church, community, and relationships. Intentionally stewarding and growing my finances. Intentional in all I do. Ephesians 5:15-16 “Pay careful attention, then, to how you live—not as unwise people but as wise—making the most of the time because the days are evil.”

Mathew 7:7 Ask, and you will receive; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you. To live intentionally for me is a set of deliberate decisions, choices, actions and everything in between that I take up in other to achieve the desired outcomes with respect to what I want in life. Which is simply to posit the highest good possible and love the people that I love in a way that makes them feel loved. Then I will be happy 😊
