New Year's Optimization: Make 2025 Count for The Kingdom

A PERSONAL MESSAGE FROM SCOTT

I’ll keep this short (holiday mode, after all!)

As we step into 2025, I wanted to wish you a Happy New Year and express my gratitude for being part of The Optimized Pastor community.

The OP newsletter audience is growing at an extremely fast rate, and we are excited about how God is using this content in the lives of pastors like you each week.

Since the new year is a fresh slate, it presents a opportunity to maximize what I teach here.

It's a perfect time reset to avoid regret... to make sure you are at a very optimized place this time next year when it comes to your fitness, your energy, and your productivity.

In light of that, I wanted to make sure you didn’t miss some important resources we’ve shared recently that can help you start the year strong:
