Hello and welcome to a New Week! Here is your Monday Morning Update! Below you will find:

  1. My New Podcast Interview with New York Times Best Selling Author Robert Cheeke. You will be greatly encouraged listening to this Podcast. I was reminded about the power of persistence from one of my guests on the I Can Do Podcast. I had Robert Cheeke, who is a New York Times Best Selling Author. His new book “The Plant Based Athlete is fantastic! It’s a must have for your library.
  2. My latest Sermon Called: The Invitation of Jesus! I’ve also included my Sermon Outline in a PDF for you to download if you like.
  3. Books I’m currently reading! I’m reading three unique books. The first was gifted to me. The second was a recommendation for me to read. The third I heard in a Podcast recently and thought to myself, “I think I own that book.” I did. I’m finally now reading it. All three will really make you think!

Each week is another opportunity to get better. Everyday counts! Persistence is key. Get after it! I Can Do, So Can You!


In our discussion, we talked about his journey of how he first got into writing, challenges he faced along the way, and his great success of becoming a New York Times Bestselling author! He has an amazing story. Robert is full of life and is so encouraging to listen to. His story and triumph will make you want to keep going.

Here is his bio:

Today he is the author of the books, Vegan Bodybuilding & Fitness, Shred It!, Plant-Based Muscle, and the New York Times Bestseller, The Plant-Based Athlete.
