The Chick-fil-A of News Sources
The “Chick-fil-A of news sources” thinks they’ve found a way to help Christians have a healthy relationship with the news. It’s called The Pour Over, and it has two goals:
Keep readers informed about the major headlines of the day
Keep readers focused on Christ
It pairs neutral, lighthearted coverage of current events with brief biblical reminders to stay focused on eternity.
Are they hitting the mark? 1.5 Million Christians believe they are. See what you think. Subscribe here for free!
If you've been subscribed to this newsletter for a while, you've probably noticed it's been inconsistent. Sometimes it showed up. Sometimes it didn't. Sometimes it was an excerpt from something I wrote. Sometimes it was just whatever was on my mind that week.
That changes now.
Starting this week, this newsletter has one job: give you one actionable challenge every week that helps you finish what you start.
No long essays. No theory. No motivational fluff.
Just one thing to do. One move to make. One step forward.
It's called The Weekly Challenge, and it's built around the same system I use to write books, build projects, and keep showing up even when the work gets hard.
Here's how it works:
Every week, you get one challenge. It's clear. It's actionable. It takes less than 2 minutes to read. And if you do it, you make progress.
That's it.
Some challenges will push you to open the project you've been avoiding. Some will help you cut through perfectionism. Some will force you to ship something before you think it's ready.
All of them are designed to move you forward.
If you try the challenge, hit reply and tell me how it went. I read every response. Your responses help me create better challenges for everyone.
The first challenge drops today, Wednesday, January 7th, 2026! If you're still in, you don't have to do anything. Just watch for it.
If this isn't for you anymore, no hard feelings. Unsubscribe link is at the bottom.
But if you're tired of starting projects and not finishing them, stick around. This is going to help.
Keep moving forward.

This Week’s Challenge
THE WEEKLY CHALLENGE - #1
This Week's Challenge: Open It!
Most creative projects don't die at the start. They die in the middle.
You had momentum. You had a vision. Then life happened. You got busy. You stepped away for a day, then a week, then a month. And now the project sits there, half-finished, collecting dust in your brain.
The hardest part isn't the work. It's coming back.
This week's challenge: Open the project you've been avoiding.
That's it. Don't edit it. Don't fix it. Don't judge it. Just open the file and read through what you have.
Action Steps:
Find the file, document, or project you've been ignoring
Open it
Read through it (no editing, no fixing)
Close it
You're not committing to finishing it. You're not committing to working on it. You're just looking. And once you're looking, momentum has a chance.
Now here's what I need from you:
Do the challenge this week. Then hit reply and tell me what happened. I read every response.
And if you know someone who's been stuck on a project, forward this to them. They might need the push, too.
