I opened the dryer yesterday…

and a lot of clothes were ruined.

Yesterday started strong.

I got in a hard workout.
Pushed myself.
Stayed disciplined.

Trying to keep moving toward my fitness goals.

Then I came inside…

and found a purple ink pen in the dryer.

And immediately…

I knew.

Something had gone very wrong.

One by one…

I started pulling clothes out.

Purple ink everywhere.

Shirts.
Shorts.
Laundry covered in stains.

Including my favorite Peter Millar golf shirt.

Completely ruined.

And then I looked inside the dryer.

Purple ink…

all over the drum.
The walls.
The door.

For a second…

I honestly thought:

“It would be easier to just buy another dryer.”

But instead…

I grabbed hand sanitizer, scrubbing pads, and went to work.

An hour later…

the dryer survived.

The clothes didn’t.

And honestly…

there was probably enough value in the ruined clothes to buy a cheaper dryer.

But that’s life in the valley.

You work hard.
You stay disciplined.
You try to move forward.

And sometimes…

something completely unexpected knocks you backward.

In this episode of Summit After the Storm, we talk about:

• Why progress rarely feels smooth• How setbacks test your mindset• The reality of “life in the valley”• And why momentum matters more than perfection

📖 Galatians 6:9 — “Let us not grow weary in doing good…”

Because life is messy.

You can do everything right…

and still take a hit.

But the goal isn’t perfection.

It’s persistence.
