(https://mikevanhoozer.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/MMM133-We-Are-Here-Presence-YouTube-Thumbnail.jpg)
We are in the middle of a series entitled “We Are Here.” It’s an important reminder for us all when we think about our life, our purpose, and our calling. If we are here, we need to be here. To be present.
In the first episode, I talked about the power of your purpose and how your purpose is foundational to being present. In this episode, I am going to talk about why your presence matters.
The important thing to remember is that people are counting on you to bring that thing that only you can specifically bring. And while it may be something you say and/or something you do, it begins with your presence.Your Presence Matters!
Show Notes:
Leverage your Influence
Make a positive Impact
Leave a lasting Imprint
Identify all of the roles that you play in life.
Write one word by each of those roles that defines why your presence matters in that role.
Develop an action plan to be more present in the high priority roles of your life. Be specific about some quick-hit, high impact moments that will help you gain traction in making your presence felt.
Identify things that are getting in the way of you being more present. These could be things like fear of failure (or success which sometimes brings added expectations), time wasters, and proper planning and prioritization just to name a few. Develop a plan to mitigate these risks allowing your presence to be felt in all aspects of your life.
Most of all, pray that God will reveal to you why your presence matters and give you wisdom and discernment about how to be more present this year and beyond.

Monday Morning Moments Podcast: We Are Here…The Power of Purpose!

On the way to winning the College National Championship in Volleyball, Coach Jamie Morrison gave a pre-game speech to his Texas A&M Volleyball Team with the theme of: We Are Here. He was inviting them to be present and bring their best to this moment.
Building on this theme, we are beginning a news series to kick off the year with the same title: We Are Here. The focus of this series is to inspire, encourage, and remind you that you are here. But only for a moment. The key is to be present and bring your best to this moment called your life. In this first episode, I talk about why purpose is foundational.
Show Notes:
We believe that knowing your why and purpose does at least 3 things:
Provides direction for your path.
Provides meaning in every moment.
Provides peace in the chaos

Monday Morning Moments Podcast: The Depth of Your Being
(https://mikevanhoozer.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/MMM131-Depth-of-Your-Being-YouTube-Thumbnail.jpg)
One of the most important elements of discovering you is to know yourself at a deep, soul level versus just having a surface awareness of yourself. We are in a series entitled “Discovering You.” In this podcast episode of Monday Morning Moments, I share 3 tips on how to discover the depth of your being which begins with connecting with God who created you.
Show Notes:
Learn From the Past
Look for themes in your life. Moments where you excelled and truly enjoyed what your were doing. Times when people told you, “You know, you’re really good at that!”
Prepare for the Future
I have found that it is best to hold onto my plans loosely AND to seek God and His guidance and His plans fiercely.
In major transition moments in my life, I always want to hear His voice and bring those plans and my thoughts about the ideas I have to Him first.
Perform in the Moment
Fully engage in the life we have been given. It’s about being present in the moment and bringing our full self to that moment. When we perform in the moment, we bring our best and encourage and inspire others to bring their best as well. And we don’t conceal or minimize who we are based on the situation, circumstance, or role that we are playing.
