Tuesday Aug 12, 2025
Tuesday Aug 12, 2025
In this Tactical Tuesday, Paul and Joey break down 3 simple tools to transform routines into identity-shaping habits:
1️⃣ Habit Stack Anchor – Stack spiritual and mental growth on top of things you already do
2️⃣ Sticky Note Prompt – Keep your “why” in front of you all day
3️⃣ Identity Stacking – Speak the man you’re becoming into your daily life
Action Step:
Pick ONE habit you’re already doing and add an identity statement to it.
That’s how your rhythm becomes reflection… and how the man in the mirror matches the mission in your heart.
📖 Scripture References: Romans 12:2, James 1:22-25, Proverbs 4:23
