Episode 249: This 7-Step Morning Protocol Will Change Everything

Every man knows the difference between a morning that owns him and a morning he owns. In this episode, Devin Schadt and I walk through a practical seven-point framework for building a morning routine that actually holds. From the heroic minute and the science behind a fixed wake time, to what you put in your body before prayer, to why your evening examen the night before may be the most overlooked factor in how your next day unfolds.

We get honest about what didn’t work, like falling asleep face-down at 4:45 a.m., white-knuckling 18 months without caffeine, and trying to out-pray their wives out of competition rather than conviction. This isn’t a productivity hack. It’s a rule of life built on obedience, worship, and the promise that God doesn’t bless leftovers. He blesses first fruits.
