Welcome to Building Brooks

Welcome to Building Brooks! I cannot thank you enough for stopping by my blog site. While it is only in the beginning stages, I have had so much fun using some of my creative side that the mundaneness of everyday life doesn’t allow me to express. I want to invite you on this journey with me, and allow it to be a space where you can laugh, enjoy, think, grow, move and be inspired to build up yourself and others. 

At this point you are probably asking,  “Ok, Charlie…but why in the world a blog?” Well… that is the same question I asked myself at first. After some serious time of reflection, I realized that over the last decade I have had the opportunity to work in several different professional fields engaging with people from all walks of life. What I’ve come to learn from my experience is that people need to be built up. I chose the name “Building Brooks” because over the last few years it has become evident that God is building up something inside of me far more important than just running my own business. For me, God has been revealing Himself in ways that are beginning to show His true purpose for me is MUCH larger. I firmly believe that I am not unique in this. I believe that if we surrender to God and begin to lean into him, He will reveal His “master plan” for each of our lives. What I have learned is that this process is much like building a house; there are plan changes, rainy days that cause delays, and failed inspections all leading to a finished product.

My hope for Building Brooks is to share content that is both useful and inspiring. The topics we cover will be wide ranging—from business concepts to stepping out in faith and being obedient to God’s calling, from my journey of becoming a husband to Tennessee football and everything in between. My goal is to share a post every other week or so. 

If I’ve still got your attention at this point, that’s a good thing, thanks! From week to week and topic to topic, serious to light-hearted, I hope you find value and encouragement in my words. The final thing I ask is that if something speaks to you, please share the post or drop a comment in the box below. Grab your hard hat, because together we will be “Building Brooks.”
