Build quietly. Endure faithfully. Return gratefully
This Sunday, the Catholic liturgical calendar takes us on a journey through three spiritual postures—each one a cornerstone of grace.
Build quietly — 1 Kings 5:14–17
Solomon doesn’t start with gold or incense. He starts with stone—“great stones, costly stones, hewed stones”—cut from the earth and laid deep beneath the temple. These aren’t visible. They don’t get praised. But they hold everything.
Spiritual architecture begins underground.
Your hidden obediences, your silent sacrifices, your unnoticed endurance—these are your foundation stones. You won’t see them in the final cathedral, but without them, nothing stands.
Endure faithfully — 2 Timothy 2:8–13
Paul, chained and suffering, writes not with despair but with clarity: “If we die with Him, we will live… if we are faithless, He remains faithful.” This is a spiritual contract—our endurance, His loyalty.
Mission always comes braided with pain.
If you’re suffering for the sake of others, you’re not failing—you’re participating. Endurance isn’t just survival. It’s sacred.
Return gratefully — Luke 17:11–19
Ten lepers are healed. Only one returns. A Samaritan. An outsider. His gratitude becomes worship, and Jesus says, “Your faith has made you well.”
Gratitude is more than a feeling—it’s a movement.
To return is to recognize. To kneel is to transform healing into holiness. Gratitude isn’t passive—it’s the active deployment of God’s gifts in service of His glory.
About Jason Bresnehan
Jason is a fixer—of businesses, of broken momentum, and occasionally of entire spiritual frameworks gone sideways. He speaks fluent boardroom and AA, deploys Catholic doctrine with the subtlety of a scalpel, and isn’t afraid to lace his insights with both war-room metaphors and dad-sermon tenderness.
Founder of Evahan, a consultancy built on the idea that legacy and liquidity don’t need to fight, Jason draws on 30 years of commercial grit, tactical leadership, and emotional radar to help people rebuild what entropy took. He works with companies, communities, and recovery misfits alike—often using the same principles to sort both cap tables and chaotic lives.
Jason draws deep inspiration from historical figures who got results—especially those who led from the margins, built with scarce resources, and refused to be shackled by conventional wisdom. He’s known for assembling unorthodox teams of passionate experts to solve complex problems in chaotic environments. Whether in boardrooms, recovery communities, or legacy disputes, Jason’s approach is rooted in common purpose, tactical innovation, and the belief that clarity thrives when paradigms are challenged.
A strong advocate for freedom, limited government, and enterprise-driven progress, Jason also draws deeply from his personal recovery journey—an experience that reshaped his life and fuels his commitment to growth, contribution, and principled living. Through writing, speaking, and service, he continues to learn, share, and speak with purpose.
I can be engaged (on a remunerated or volunteer basis) to sit on Boards, Committees, Advisory and Reference Group Panels, and to speak to Business, Community, and Youth groups. I’m also open to providing comment to media on topics where I have relevant experience or insight. Please feel free to make contact.
