from Summit After the Storm · host Bart Wilbanks

I cancelled practice last night.And the truth is…we needed it.We had a kid quit the team after the first game Thursday.We’re still figuring things out.We need the reps.We need the time together.And this week?Practice matters.But it rained all day.The fields never officially closed…so we could have practiced.But I knew what it would be.A mess.Parents forced to decide.Kids slipping in the mud.Trying to force something…that wasn’t right.So I made the call.Cancelled it.Not because we couldn’t…But because we shouldn’t.And that’s where the lesson is.Because life does the same thing.Sometimes the conditions…just aren’t right.And you’ve got a choice:Force it…Or have the discipline…to wait.In this episode of Summit After the Storm, we talk about:• Why timing matters more than effort• The danger of forcing the wrong conditions• How great leaders read the moment• And when to hold back vs. when to push forward📖 Ecclesiastes 3:1 — “There is a time for everything…”Because wisdom isn’t just knowing how hard to go.It’s knowing when.And sometimes the best decision you can make…Is not yet.🎙️ Follow Summit After the Storm on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Amazon Music🌐 SummitAfterStorm.comKeep climbing.
