Shownotes

"Most people relate in many ways more to our challenges and failures than just every success"

This week on Delay The Decay, we interview Frank Kelly III—CEO of Kelly Benefits, former pro lacrosse player, and author of Love and Go! 12 Powerful Truths for a Blessed Life—about living an integrated life of faith, family, leadership, and purpose. Frank shares habits like journaling and a worship devotional, how sports and setbacks built perseverance and humility, and how his family’s faith shaped their 50-year family business and mission-driven culture.

Frank talks about “Love and Go” as the Great Commandment and Great Commission, outlines several of the book’s core truths (God’s Word, praise, prayer, the Holy Spirit, purpose, giving, community, perseverance, and spiritual warfare), and discusses practices like surrender, confession, and being continually filled with the Spirit. We also discuss company initiatives supporting employee wellness and shares his legacy hope to be known for loving God, loving others, generosity, and blessing people.
