Those who go before to mark and improve the route are the pioneers. Their critical moments of decision must be based upon faith alone - the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen (Heb. 11:1). Pioneers are those who face trials with no experience, only discipline, determination, and devotion.
Pioneering was a practice of Eastern monarchs, who, whenever they entered on a journey or expedition, especially through a barren and unfrequented or inhospitable country, sent forerunners, or pioneers, before them to prepare the way. Over time, as more people came over the trail, it was improved, widened, and smoothed. However, it all began with one man. That man then led others, and it multiplied from there.
In Isaiah 40, we find an example of this through John the Baptist, who was one man "crying in the wilderness," yet he prepared the way for the Son of God.
Each of us is a pioneer, marking and improving the trail through the conduct of our lives. Our words and deeds pave the way for others to answer God's call at another time. So persevere our fellow pioneers, and remember that when the storms around you rage, and the voices of doubt ring loud, no weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you (Is. 54:17).

Day 3 is officially DONE!!!! If you weren’t able to join us that’s OK. You can access the recording for a limited time in our Abide Leadership Facebook group or you can join our VIP experience and have access to it on demand along with all the other great things that we have in store over the next two days. In the end, you will have access to all of the recorded sessions, exclusive workbooks, Rooted community, and many other items!

My prayer for you today is the same as the one that I spoke earlier this morning. It’s found in Proverbs 23:7 and it says, “As a man thinks in his heart, so he is.” This verse encapsulates the powerful truth that our thoughts are not mere fleeting notions; they are the ARCHITECTS OF OUR IDENTITY AND ACTIONS! When we intentionally align our thoughts with God’s truth, we shape a mindset that reflects His design for us.

I look forward to tomorrow where we’re going to build upon these concepts we talked about today and continue to develop an understanding of how all of these concepts impact our habits. There still time to join the VIP experience. You can go to www.abideleadership.com/rooted to learn more.

Your life today is essentially the sum of your habits. What you repeatedly do (what you spend time thinking about and doing each day) forms the person you are, the things you believe, and the character you portray.

But, what if you want to improve? What if you want to form new habits? How would you go about it?

Imagine that your new habits are actively calling you, waiting for your response. Each time the phone rings it is as if you are being beckoned toward growth, positivity, and alignment with God’s purpose. Today, more than any other day, I encourage you to answer that call and take the first step towards welcoming the transformative power of God’s good and perfect will into your life.

Psalm 37:5 says, “Commit your way to the Lord; trust in Him, and He will act.”

As you answer the call and commit your ways to the Lord and trust in His guidance, every habit that you begin to cultivate will become a powerful instrument of transformation in your life and in the lives of those around you.

Here’s my question for today. What is calling you? Is it a new habit that is ready to be picked up? Is it a new vision from God that the Holy Spirit has deposited in your spirit? Whatever it is, let us know in the comments so we can partner with you in prayer as you answer the call and align yourself with God’s purpose for you.

Most of our resolutions fail because we focus on changing external behaviors or habits first. But where are habits born? THE HEART.

Proverbs 4:23 says:
“Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.”

This Scripture emphasizes the vital role our heart plays in shaping our actions and habits. We need to be diligent in not only guarding our hearts against negativity, doubt, and distractions but also making room in our hearts for God to deposit his purpose and vision for us.

At the start of the new year, it’s easy to get so hyper-focused on our own goals and resolutions that we forget to make room in our hearts for God to speak and deposit his vision for us. If this is you, you’re not alone! Join us in praying this prayer out of Psalm 139:23-24:

“God, I invite your searching gaze into my heart. Examine me through and through; find out everything that may be hidden within me. Put me to the test and sift through all my anxious cares. See if there is any path of pain I’m walking on, and lead me back to your glorious, everlasting way— the path that brings me back to you. Amen.”

Let us know in the comments one thing you feel God has placed in your heart this year, maybe it’s a challenge, a risk, or even a fresh vision. My prayer for you today is that God will purify your heart and breathe fresh vision over you for this year and that He will renew in you a steadfast spirit as you take steps to walk in the fullness of all He has for you in 2024. 💗🌳

Rooted: Transforming Habits, Transforming Leadership starts in just seven days! Our before-the-challenge “challenge” this week is to get our hearts and minds ready for all that God will reveal to us throughout this 5-day challenge.

Jeremiah 17:7-8 says:
"Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit."

This Scripture wonderfully captures the essence of how we need to posture our hearts and minds when the storms of life come our way. As we trust in the Lord and intentionally allow our roots to go deep into His Word, we become firmly planted, unshaken by life’s challenges, and consistently bear fruit.

Let us know in the comments what you are most excited about for this 5-day challenge, what you hope to learn, or maybe even what you feel God is speaking to you. My prayer for you today is that your roots will grow deep and that this challenge will be a catalyst for extraordinary transformation in your heart, in your life, and in your leadership. 🌳

Let’s QUIT National Quitters Day!!!

The second Friday in January is known as “Quitter's Day,” when people are most likely to throw in the towel on their resolutions.

According to Lead Read Today, 9% of Americans who make resolutions complete them. Other research suggests that:

23% of people quit their resolutions by the end of the first week

43% quit by the end of January

80% of New Year's resolutions are forgotten by February

35% of people attribute losing motivation as the top reason for giving up

19% of people give up because they are too busy

18% of people give up because they change their goals and priorities

A 2016 study found that only 9% of Americans who make New Years resolutions feel they are successful in keeping them by the end of the year

A Forbes Health/One Poll survey found that the average resolution lasts just 3.74 months

80%!! That’s the number of people who will give up on their New Year’s goals by the end of February. Not even 60 days after starting! 😱 And only 8% of people who set goals will actually accomplish them by the end of the year. 🤯

We believe that God has been speaking to the body of Christ and stirring their hearts more than ever before! Stepping into what He’s nudging you towards can feel not only risky, but isolating. Kristen and I have been there, and we want to come alongside you as you step into the greatest journey of your life! We’ve lived this firsthand, and we know there will be many things that try to come in the way of God’s plan for you. This is why it’s important to have a solid framework or “root system” in place. Which is why we created the Rooted: Transforming Habits, Transforming Leadership Challenge!

01/09/2024

It's the start of a brand new year and we've got some new faces here, so we wanted to reintroduce ourselves to you! We are Dr. Jesse and Kristen Buchholz. We've been married for 11 years. We're originally from Meridian, Idaho, and currently live in McKinney, Texas with our 2 children, Everly (10) and Everett (6).

Our passion for developing leaders started 9 years ago when we began hosting marriage small groups in our home. In 2021, God called us to leave everything familiar, comfortable, and logical; to move thousands of miles away, and start Abide Leadership.

Our heart and mission is to empower Christians to go deeper in their relationship with God by equipping them with practical tools to align their faith with the mission, purpose, actions, and culture of their businesses. Our firm belief is that we will see a world transformed, not just by churches and individuals, but through bold business owners and entrepreneurs who are willing to step out in faith and answer this call from God.

Zechariah 4:10 says “Do not despise the small beginnings for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin.” As we start 2024,...

Zechariah 4:10 says “Do not despise the small beginnings for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin.”

As we start 2024, maybe you’re feeling the nudging of God to embark on a path that feels overwhelming and yet, you know is significant and necessary as the hands and feet of Jesus on Earth. Kristen and I have been there! In fact, it wasn’t that long ago that we heard the whisper of the Holy Spirit, urging us to step out in faith and take the first small step toward the start of what God was asking of us. That was the beginning of Abide Leadership. This picture is exactly how it started, building piece by piece, hand in hand, with the Holy Spirit guiding us.

Each journey begins with a single step, and Kristen and I want to encourage you to listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit, lean into God’s word, and take the first small step toward what He has for you.

In order to help you walk in the fullness of what God is leading you towards in 2024, we’d love to have you join us on Jan 22nd - 26th for our Habits Masterclass. You can learn more at https://www.abideleadership.com/rooted

Happy New Year 2024!

As we stand on the threshold of a brand new year, let us reflect upon the timeless wisdom found in Isaiah 43:19: “Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.”

In this scripture, we find a profound promise from God—a promise of renewal, transformation, and the continual unfolding of His divine plan for our lives. For us, and for many, 2023 was a struggle in more ways than one. Yet, even through all the hardships, trials, disappointments, and miscalculations, we fully believe that God has better things in store for us and for you this year. He is doing a new thing!

As we embark on this journey into 2024 and bid farewell to 2023, let us open our hearts to the new things that God is doing in and through us and embrace the opportunity to reset our habits and align them with the purpose God has for us. It's a season of intentional change, a time to let go of habits that hinder our spiritual growth and embrace those that draw us closer to Him. Let this be a year where our actions reflect our commitment to living in accordance with God's will.

We are hosting our habit realignment masterclass, Rooted: Transforming Habits, Transforming Leadership, on January 22nd – 26th from 9 – 10 AM CST. Over the course of five days, we will unpack how to transform your habits and bring them into alignment with God’s will for you, reframe your mindset and adopt a Biblical Growth Mindset, understand how your strengths and habits work together, understand your Biblical Leadership Style, define your core values for the year, and root your new habits in servant leadership principles. Connect with us in our Abide Leadership Facebook group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/abideleadership) to learn more and visit www.abideleadership.com/rooted to sign up for this challenge!

At the end of the challenge, you will have a brand new foundation to anchor your new habits to accomplish all that God has for you, your business, and your family.

It’s found in Proverbs 3:5-6 which says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.” I pray that the Lord will make your path straight today and that He will help you, through the power of the Holy Spirit, to determine what those core values are in the enduring camp and the goal-oriented camp. I pray that he would be able to help you to discern, what is needed, what needs to be removed, and what needs to be rooted. I look forward to tomorrow, where I will build upon the concepts I discussed today and yesterday. I will also add the concepts of rooting our mindset and how all of these impact our habits.

Recap of Day 1 of How to Foster a Biblical Growth Mindset! #biblicalgrowthmidset

VULNERABLE POST! We all have a "why". It is the thing that motivates us. It is the thing that helps us to act with intention. It is the thing that grounds us. Our "why" is at the heart of our purpose. It works directly and partnership with your "what" (mission) and your "how" (actions/habits/ For me as a dad, I have a big "WHY". This why informs how I lead myself, my family, and others around me. It has shaped me in both good and not so good ways. However, I have learned how to reframe my purpose and understand it so that now I use it to guide me and inform my decision tree. Question? Do you know and understand your purpose? Can you define it? Do you know your strengths and have a language to define them that makes sense to you? If not, I would love to help you develop your M.A.P. Comment PURPOSE or send me a DM, and I'll take it from there.
