Every day, frustration hits us from every side — job pressure, delays, traffic, family friction, things out of our control. Frustration can become a weight on our thinking, our daily walk. Like a fifty-pound rucksack you didn't ask for. Like sand in your gearbox. Paul McCartney wrote about frustration in the song “Carry That Weight” on the Beatles' last album.

Watching and listening to that broadcast was a young man just out of prison. This is an actual photo of him watching with two friends just 48 months ago. I'll call him Nam. Nam heard a word that changed his life. How to be a Godly man. How to be a Maximized man. Revelation that he had never heard before. It radically...
