Welcome to the Workbench!

Weekend at the Workbench was born from a personal shift—one Friday at a time.

Several years ago, my Fridays ended at a bar with colleagues, blowing off steam from another brutal week. Now, they end on a porch with my wife, or in a trailer with a few volunteers, delivering beds to kids sleeping on the floor. That shift—from escape to presence, from numbing to gratitude—changed everything. This weekly blog exists to mark that same shift for other men. It’s a rhythm, a reset, and a reminder that how we end our week matters. The weekend isn’t time off from formation—it’s where the real test begins. This space will help us stay grounded in what matters most: faith, service, discipline, and gratitude. Before you drift, scroll, or slide into old habits—hit the workbench. Let’s finish strong.
