Who did you default to this week?

Not the man you planned to be on Monday morning — but the man who actually showed up when life got loud, when you were tired, frustrated, or distracted.

In this Friday Reflection, Joey and Paul walk you through a powerful end-of-week check-in:

• How to identify your default mode in moments of stress

• Why even a “neutral” default can rob your family of your presence

• A weekend family challenge to make your presence visible in your home

• The key journal question that can reset your systems

This episode isn’t about shame — it’s about signal. It’s about seeing reality clearly so you can align your actions with the man God designed you to be.

📖 Scripture to Reflect On:

• Colossians 3:17 – “And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus…”

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

🧠 Journal Reflection Question:

“What did I default to this week — and what does that reveal about the system I’m currently running?”

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Weekend Family Challenge:

Pick one rhythm that makes your presence visible at home:

• Let your kids catch you praying, reading, or journaling

• Invite your wife into your wind-down (no screens)

• End the night with 2 minutes of spoken gratitude as a family
