Rise early, publish peace, and lead by faith.
Christ’s grace transmutes weakness into strength—
be lifted, and then go and lift others.

“Rags to riches is good and true—
but Christ calls higher, calls us in.
Now what will you do?
Walk on water, or swim with men?”
🌊 WELCOME TO A LIFE WELL LIVED ... BATTLE SCARS AND ALL
THE MISSION (A Creed)
Low to Lifted ↣ Yoked with Christ
Work done by 6:15 AM, publish peace daily.
This is a call for covenant dads, yoked with their eternal companions, sealed in the house of the Lord for time and all eternity. The path is simple: rise early, take on Christ's yoke, publish peace, and lead your family by faith—building a righteous generation from home.
Like Peter, stepping onto the water with Christ means facing waves—the gift of weakness, the natural man. But that is not failure; it’s proof you’re on the right path, inviting humility and unity. Yoked with Him and one with your wife, His grace transmutes weakness into strength, line upon line, enabling you to share talents online remotely while homeschooling your children.
This is not my power, or yours. It is His enabling power. He lifts you from low to lifted—from Hearts (personal faith and spousal oneness), to Home (homeschool balance and work-from-home rhythm), to Housetops (publishing peace to the world via vodcasts, books, and courses). When lifted, go and lift others—one covenant family at a time, one morning at a time. Zion rises as we yoke together.
THE TESTIMONY (Kent's Condensed History)
I don’t come polished. I come scarred, but sustained—yoked with Christ through storms.
As a child, I faced epilepsy, abuse, collapsed lungs, and a broken family. My parents struggled with severe mental illness—my father with bipolar disorder, my mother with schizophrenia. I feared it would consume me, too.
At 16, I found stability with an aunt and uncle. Even then, I barely scraped by. ACT 19. And yet, by miracle, doors opened: Ricks College (now BYU–Idaho) AAS with heavy student government activity. Then BYU BA with University honors—including a ORCA grant funded honors thesis on Joseph Smith's Doctrinal Contributions. To Outer Mongolia as a missionary. Miracle upon miracle.
But in my mid-20s, collapse came. I lost a fiancée, friends, health, and hope. I gained 60 pounds in nine months. I was diagnosed with the very thing I feared most—mental illness. For years, I battled with medication, excess weight, and my deepest fear.
Yet Christ never left. He refined me like silver in the furnace, teaching me to move forward with faith in Him. In 2023, after 23 years of weight and wandering, He lifted me again. Healing came. Renewed hope, faith, good works, and charity. Today, by His grace, I’ve been miraculously healed (weakness turned strength), married 22+ years to my eternal companion, blessed with six children (ages 5-20), and strengthened daily to publish peace by dawn.
Walking on water is a metaphor for living an abundant life of miracles. Recognize God's hand in all things. He want to give you all He has. Becoming one with Christ, includes being one with your spouse and inviting your children to do likewise.
THE INVITATION (A Gift—Look Up)
The world will teach you how to move from drowning to treading or maybe even advanced swim lessons.
Christ calls you to take up His yoke—the will of the Father—with your wife, and to serve your family to create a heaven on earth, then to shout that from the housetops, including being a light on a hill and online.
Here at Low to Lifted, you’ll find daily fire to spark your life via daily posts. Each post ought to have an embedded vodcast added to it. Taking on Christ’s yoke individually and as a family—(vodcast found at video.lowtolifted.com, including an RSS feed for podcasting sites). with Riverside transcripts and Castos audio), expanded posts with scripture, reflection, and GPT-generated imagery to visualize His truths. Repurposed clips inspire on YouTube and socials, guiding you to publish peace remotely like Dan Koe or Connor Boyack—sharing talents to homeschool and lead eternally.
Join the movement: Subscribe for dawn devotionals, access free resources on the 3H framework, or enroll in courses like "Publish Peace Mastery" on systeme.io to replicate this model—rise early, work from home, and travel to inspire at conferences.
👉 The same hand that sustained me in fire is reaching for you and your family.
Take it, yoked together. You don’t have to tread water anymore.

I stand not as one who walks on water by my own strength — but as one held up by Christ’s hand.
