How I’m Learning to Lead My Family Without Being a Hypocrite

How I’m Learning to Lead My Family Without Being a Hypocrite

by David Cote | Jun 4, 2025 | Faith, Legacy & Fatherhood, Mind & Identity

Spiritual leadership? I’m still figuring it out. No one handed me a manual when I became a husband or dad. No checklist. No script. Just the weight of responsibility and a quiet sense that I didn’t want to screw this up. And honestly, some days I feel like I’m getting...

What My Wife Saw in Me (That I Didn’t See in Myself)

by David Cote | Jun 3, 2025 | Faith, Mind & Identity

When we met, I didn’t have a lot going for me.No real money. No clear direction. I wasn’t walking closely with God. I was just surviving. Treading water in life. Masking pain more than building anything solid or meaningful. But somehow, she saw something...

What I Prayed When I Thought God Had Left Me

by David Cote | May 30, 2025 | Addiction & Escape, Faith, Mind & Identity

I got saved when I was just a kid. Third grade, maybe. Life was rough—poor family, moving all the time, barely scraping by. But there was a church that stepped in. They gave us a house. A little blue one off a dirt road. Every Sunday morning, Sunday night, and...
Why You’re Not Lazy (Even If You Feel Like You Are)

Why You’re Not Lazy (Even If You Feel Like You Are)

by David Cote | May 30, 2025 | Addiction & Escape, Discipline, Mind & Identity

If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and thought, “Why can’t I just get it together? Why am I so lazy?” — you’re not alone. But I want to push back on something: You’re not lazy. You’re tired. You’re wounded. You’re overloaded. You’re surviving. And deep...
