I'm With You

February 19, 2024 10:00 - 21 minutes - 14.6 MB

Welcome to my personal favorite Bob Goff story. And that's saying something. His life has been incredibly interestingly lived. I linked to his books last week. Today I'll add a link to an episode from 2022 that featured his work in Uganda: Be Secretly Incredible. Part of being incredible is loving people. Not just from a distance through prayer. Not just when you agree with them. Not just when they do what you want them to do. But because of who they are - people made by God and in His like...

Go Be You!

February 12, 2024 10:00 - 21 minutes - 14.9 MB

God built each of us to align our mind and body. He gave us this beautiful things called a conscience to process His will, and factors of life, to create a consistency between heart and deeds.  When we link those up, we are our authentic selves. Your authentic self may not be right, but it's honest. You may grow and change, but you'll be a person of integrity. However, if you have a gap between what you believe and what you do... If you strike a wax person pose in front of people and fail ...

Jacob Hudgins Interview: House Rules

February 05, 2024 10:00 - 59 minutes - 41.1 MB

For just the third time in ESM history - it's an interview! It is my pleasure to have Jacob Hudgins on the program today to walk us through the House Rules that he has implemented in his home and has written about for the benefit of others. This will be our fifth and final episode in the House Rules series. And I was thinking this week: who better two pull it all together and wrap it up than the author of the book! Jacob does so great here with key insights and some honest reflections on hi...

Pick Your Apple

January 29, 2024 10:00 - 20 minutes - 14.4 MB

I have made 3 major financial decisions in my life that stand above the rest. One was awful. One was safe. And the last was exciting. To me, these represent the kind of choices that go far beyond portfolios, and certainly have more value than money. Let me walk you through those choices, spanning 25 years of my life. Maybe they will help you with some financial decisions in the new year. I think that would be great. But it is not the purpose. Maybe it will look like a humble brag on my par...

It's Blue Monday!

January 22, 2024 10:00 - 21 minutes - 14.6 MB

Today, launch day, is "the most depressing day of the year." That being the case, I feel like a wellness check is needed: so how are you doing? Are you weathering January okay? If you are, I want you to see how much you've overcome to feel that way! And if not, there are real reasons for that which affect a lot of people. You are not alone. But we can make a plan, a great plan. We can do such a few specific things and create results this year that have alluded us in years past. Are you up f...

House Rules: Responsibilities and Problems

January 15, 2024 10:00 - 21 minutes - 14.7 MB

Our cover image today is a 10 year old boy deciding whether or not to make his bed. He clearly doesn't want to. And yet, it is his responsibility. What factor will be determine what he does next? Sometimes doing the right thing is hard. And when it comes down to just the action... we may not want to do it at all. But there are a couple of really important reasons he should make that bed. These are the same reasons we should do what is right when it is our responsibility to do so. Continuing...

Tenacity and Willpower

January 08, 2024 10:00 - 21 minutes - 14.6 MB

Say it with me: Anterior Mid-Cingulate Cortex! Or aMCC for short. Today we take a little look into the brain, to find a very special part that controls the willpower of the rest. If we can learn how it works, and how to make it stronger, well, there isn't any part of your growth in life that won't be affected and helped! But we have to build on the WHY of personal discipline we started with last week. God expects us to take inventory and responsibility for, every part of the life He has giv...

I Dare You

January 01, 2024 10:00 - 23 minutes - 15.9 MB

HAPPY NEW YEAR! I pray 2024 is a wonderful adventure in growth and change and increased faith and joy in Christ! Welcome to season 6 of the ESM podcast. It's been an amazing journey thus far and I am looking forward to this season.

Interview with Kenny: Minimizing Daily Stress

December 25, 2023 10:00 - 1 hour - 41.9 MB

Merry Christmas! Launch day for this week's episode is December 25th. I pray safety and joy for you and your loved ones. May the Father, Son and Spirit be with you all. About a month ago, Kenny Embry and I had a discussion about stress management. It became an hour long dive into our personal lives and things that have really made a big difference for us. As soon as we were done recording, I started looking for a place to launch this for you. It's certainly less polished and much more raw ...

Fearless Moral Inventory

December 18, 2023 10:00 - 21 minutes - 15.1 MB

What would you find if you used some personal time excavating the center of your heart, taking a fearless moral inventory, and finding out what drives all you do? This week we look at the power of self-awareness. It is massively valuable. But to be honest, it is much deeper and more needful that I first thought. To me self-awareness was this sense of reading the room, knowing how others see you, and understanding the impact of your conduct. Those are things that grow out of it, but self-awa...

A Slow Fade

November 13, 2023 10:00 - 20 minutes - 14.3 MB

We want things fast and want them to happen on a big time scale. We want total transformation, massive amazing change, and big payouts. All of that is in reach, but the work involved to get there is rarely as instant, sizable or flashy. It turns out, being wise small is the way to big things. Something you do every day for a year will begin to completely change your life. These are awesomely powerful ideas for change. But the devil knows about them as well. He doesn't want you making a slow ...

House Rules: Intro and Safety

November 06, 2023 10:00 - 20 minutes - 14.4 MB

I really hope you enjoy this series! Please let me know what you think. Feel free to share your own ideas, or just express how valuable you think this series might be. Your feedback will determine how quickly we get all 6 fit in! Please remember - application will be focused on the home, but not limited to it. At it's core, these are 10 life rules for you, for me, for each of us. Carrying these qualities into relationships is whole lot easier than trying to find them once the dynamics are e...

"Opened Her Eyes"

October 30, 2023 09:00 - 21 minutes - 14.5 MB

I am so stoked to share this with you today. Bible connection are on my favorite things list. Special thanks to Michelle Stevens for sending me a short clip from Myron Golden. I checked out a bunch of his stuff and found two Genesis stories that connect in an interesting way. Both of them relate in this way: count your blessings and don't miss them in pursuit of what you don't have, in search of what you lack.  Satan works hard and well in the powerful gaps of life. He draws our attention t...

A Team Sport

October 23, 2023 09:00 - 20 minutes - 14.4 MB

Okay, I'm calling this my favorite thing I've learned in 2023. This simple outlook on relationships and three step, easily repeatable process... I love it. And I re-recorded this episode a week later just to share my testimonials! I gave a quick early shout out to Jacob Hudgins for his book House Rules. I highly recommend it. So I've added the link here. Speaking of books. We still have ESM 3 Month Journals available for those who would like to venture into the world of daily reading, no...

"Who Am I?"

October 16, 2023 09:00 - 22 minutes - 15.4 MB

The question of the episode is you asking yourself: "Who Am I?" - I encourage you to spend a little time on that this week. Find an answer that sits in the center of everything else about you and drives it all.  Below I have included the lyrics for "To Not Worship You" by Mercy Me.  As you listen to them today or explore below, please note the progression. It starts with self doubt and confusion and fear. Then God is introduced as the power and the answer. In the middle of the song there ar...

Your "No" Line (Pt. 2)

October 09, 2023 09:00 - 22 minutes - 15.6 MB

Where do you draw the line when it comes to sinful behavior? Is it your goal to do everything everyone else gets to do so long as you don't take that last step? Sometimes we strive for this in a very weird form of American Christianity. We want almost all of what our culture has to offer, with just a few things off limits. Sometimes this is how we raise our kids - to get all the fun stuff, the good stuff, the acceptable stuff that everyone else gets, but go to church on Sunday and don't slee...

Your "No" Line (Pt. 1)

October 02, 2023 09:00 - 22 minutes - 15.2 MB

We live in a "yes" world. There is so much to do, and as mostly middle class Americans, we are in a position to say yes to so many things. And for the most part, we seem to try to. After all, we don't want to miss out! No, I don't mean sinful things. But sometimes it feels like we are trying to indulge in and experience pretty much everything else.  I wonder if a first century Christian could even fathom a life like that. I doubt most of them would be interested in it at all. They were very...

Wildly Important Goals

September 25, 2023 09:00 - 22 minutes - 15.8 MB

The 4 Disciplines of Execution: Achieving Your Wildly Important Goals Excel Still More Journal Okay, my new friend Rich Howe, from Richmond TX, has turned me on to a great new book. It is designed for business and company leaders, but it includes timeless principles. I see application for the individual, the family, the church, and business. All that is required of you going in is an Excel Still More mentality. You just have to desire to see better. And you have to be open to a better way...

Resolving Christian Conflict

September 18, 2023 09:00 - 22 minutes - 15.3 MB

Read this! 4 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! 5 Let your gentle spirit be known to all people. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and pleading with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, what...

Five Life Choices

September 11, 2023 09:00 - 22 minutes - 15.3 MB

You gotta love Nick Saban. He says it like it is and asks you what you are gonna do about it! This straight talk can make us uncomfortable but it can also call us to needed change. Today, we look at a quote from him, one he'd actually recently heard from and NFL coach and is using with his guys. I hope you will find it useful as well. Note - I mentioned the passing of my friend, Tony Mauck. If you can take a moment to pray for his wife and kids, and the Decker Prairie church where he worked...

Live To 100

September 04, 2023 09:00 - 22 minutes - 15.6 MB

Question: Do you want to live to be 100? I feel like if you and I were chatting you might not give a resounding yes. We've seen a lot of disease and decay and death, and the idea of being here then might invoke a picture of sorrow and pain. But did you know there are people in their 90's and older still living rewarding and enjoyable lives? As you'll hear today, there are some great stories from Japan. But even here in Lindale, TX, there are several in their 90's still drawing joy out of act...

"Us" over "Me"

August 28, 2023 09:00 - 23 minutes - 16.3 MB

The ESM Podcast has largely been built for individual application and growth. For one thing, that's a whole lot easier to talk about and accomplish in comparison to collective behavior. You can change you. But changing others... that's a whole lot tougher. Changing the direction of an entire family, church, or culture... that seems impossible. But Scripture challenges us over and over again to think more societally. Even the story of Nehemiah was not about a guy who rebuilt his life. It was...

52 or 90?

August 21, 2023 09:00 - 20 minutes - 14.3 MB

Sadly, I was in my mid-20's before I first learned about the story of Nehemiah. It was taught to me beforehand, and I REALLY could have used it in may teenage years, but it wasn't until I was in full time ministry work that this story took root in my heart. It is a story of passion, hope, hard work, belief in God, courage, discipline, and total life change. It warns us of what can happen if we fail to start doing what matters. An entire lifetime can pass stuck in a place of fear and doubt. ...

Seven Social Sins

August 14, 2023 12:00 - 23 minutes - 16.1 MB

Seven Social Sins demands that we match up social responsibility with internal character development. It is worth the effort! To help you follow along today, let me include all FOUR of the lists we will feature today: Seven Things God Hates: Pride, Lying, Murder, Wicked Plans, Rushing to Evil, Lying about Others, Creating Strife Seven Deadly Sins: Pride, Greed, Wrath, Envy, Lust, Gluttony, Sloth Seven Social Sins: 1) Politics without Principle 2) Wealth without Work Ethic 3) Pleasure with...

"...Widen The Plate"

August 07, 2023 09:00 - 23 minutes - 16.1 MB

As our youth prepare to head back to school, let's talk a bit about standards and rules that they will face. If you are a student, are you the kind of person that puts your best effort into excelling under rules, or do they no apply to you? Should they be changed to accommodate you? Let's talk about what happens when try to widen the plate. Speaking of plates, this is a baseball episode! Nolan Ryan is in this thing. I love baseball. It is a game of set rules. People who work them, and grow ...

"Weight Doesn't Matter"

July 31, 2023 09:00 - 21 minutes - 14.8 MB

Alert - This is not an episode about weight, diet or exercise! Instead this is a snippet of a quote from a powerful illustration given by a professor to his students. The weight in question was that of a glass of water he was holding. His question: "how heavy is this glass of water?" The answer is surprise and needful! The imagery of that presentation, mixed with a few others I'd like to make concerning both soda and lots of water... are designed to help you deal with three really, really h...

Just "Let Him"

July 24, 2023 09:00 - 21 minutes - 14.7 MB

So today's title is a bit misleading. At least, we've got some things to cover before we get there. Below I have posted a poem titled "Let Them." It's about letting people go when they don't want to stay. This is extremely difficult for me, so this poem is helpful. But it does require some Gospel balance. We'll talk about that. Also, there are two other categories that demand some attention. 1) "Let Them" with reference to the people who do want to be near you and help you. Some of us find ...

The Healthy Tension

July 17, 2023 13:00 - 22 minutes - 15.7 MB

Tension is: Often Challenging and Difficult Outside Comfort Zone or Settled Law Demanding Humility and Openness to Learn Carries Benefit in the Wrestling and Working Required Presents a Choice: 1) ignore.  2) Reject.  3) Give in.  4) Study. Challenges you to seek Balance when it is Easier to Fall to one side. Unhealthy Tension is: Always seeking to get out of the conflict. Anxious or Angry until you do. Healthy Tension is: Finding Value in the Process for Growth. Healthy Tension Truths: T...

Your Daily Lifetime

July 10, 2023 09:00 - 21 minutes - 15 MB

Please take a moment and check out the Balancing the Christian Life Conference. It goes live as an online experience on July 27th through 29th. If you are interested in the Excel Still More 3 Month Journal mentioned in today's episode, you can order through the link provided.  I hope you'll go on this journey with me today of shrinking the idea lifetime into the form of a single day of living. The similarities are clear. But each day is more valuable than just building blocks to some desir...

Spirit and Truth

July 03, 2023 09:00 - 23 minutes - 16 MB

Spirit and Truth. Truth and Spirit. Two words Jesus linked together in proclaiming who will be a worshipper of God. But they can be so hard to balance. Spirit is personal, emotional, in some ways subjective. Truth is the opposite. It is objective, universal, the will and authority of God. Jesus is asking us to give them equal weight and that is hard. Can I ask you: which of the two is more important? If you were going to be good at one and not good at the other, which would you prefer it be...

Images of Jesus

June 26, 2023 09:00 - 22 minutes - 15.4 MB

How do you see Jesus? We are called to cast our eyes on Him. We are told to see Him and we are given descriptions of Him. For me, for a long time, most of my images of Jesus had Him on the throne at times, but often looked back into His ministry on the earth. Maybe Jesus healing people. Maybe Jesus on the cross. Those are great ways to visualize His love. But those are past events. Those are earth bound events. They don't exactly picture where He is now, or fully embody who He is.  So let's...

Eyes On Jesus

June 19, 2023 09:00 - 21 minutes - 15.1 MB

You are going to love this episode! Yes, you get a tip on how to get let go from jury duty, but don't stop there. More importantly, you will hear the beautiful testimony of young ladies who have turned to faith. These Oklahoma Sooners are leading with their love for Christ, and they have the baptisms to prove it!  Behind this cultural change is their head coach, who has been more vocal about her faith in the last 13 years, leading to many new believers in their program and a culture of focu...

Plenty of Time?

June 12, 2023 09:00 - 22 minutes - 15.2 MB

The devil will try anything to keep us from honoring our Lord. In centuries past he could keep people in the dark in terms of knowledge. Maybe keep people from getting a Bible, or keeping the preacher from making it to town. Maybe people had questions but couldn't get answers or help.  That is not the case anymore, at least certainly not in America. We have information everywhere and available in seconds. So how is the devil to hurt is if he can't hide the truth from us? Well, he has a powe...

Start Stop Continue

June 05, 2023 09:00 - 21 minutes - 14.9 MB

Today I get to share some things that have continued to have deep impact in my life. These two ideas are separate, but equally powerful. I hope to weave them together for you so you can implement each by implementing both together. Firstly, as we've talked about in different ways over the years, you have to see the value of a single day. Today is such a powerful gift! Each day is like a mini lifetime, with a beginning, middle and end. And yet, we get to restart and stack those days into a l...

Bring Forgiveness Back

May 29, 2023 09:00 - 21 minutes - 15.1 MB

Thank you for your feedback and support after last week's episode! Talking about sexual abuse was hard. And from the large amount of feedback I got, I know it is hard or people to think back on the abuse of their past. But I pray we can bring awareness and activism in terms of fulfilling the kingdom mission to protect the innocent and rescue to oppressed.  For today, we need to head back to the topic of forgiveness. We will look at how little of it there seems to be these days, and what we ...

Tyranny of Forgiveness

May 22, 2023 09:00 - 22 minutes - 15.3 MB

The title is "The Danger of Forcing Forgiveness" on the website. I was titled "The Tyranny of Forgiveness" in the printed magazine. Both articles are the same. Today's topic is heavier than usual. Sadly, the topic of sexual abuse and how abusers use forgiveness to cover themselves is needful in our time. There are victims who need help desperately, but are effectively being coerced into forgiving in a way that keeps them silent. They are simply staying controlled and manipulated and not get...

Just Get Closer

May 15, 2023 09:00 - 21 minutes - 14.9 MB

Today was a trip down memory lane for me. I listened to the very first episode of Excel Still More: Just Get Better. That episode drew a little bit of criticism in the early days for sounding like another way of packaging work based salvation. I filed that away as something to consider but I just wasn't in a place in my life to see it. I've learned a lot since then. I trust you have as well. So I was ready to go back and listen and be woefully embarrassed. It turns out... it wasn't too bad....

Pursuing "Mature Discipleship"

May 08, 2023 09:00 - 21 minutes - 14.8 MB

I chose a thumbnail for this episode after the content was recorded. It isn't actually referenced in the audio today. But I really love it. We need to be transformed. We want changed hearts and minds and lives. That means building everything around the cross of Jesus. Not the resurrection. not the ascension. The cross. The great act of power and kingdom glory was in Jesus lowest, most sacrificial moment on earth. Being a disciples means being transformed into the image and life of Christ. I...

The Sixteenth Second

May 01, 2023 09:00 - 21 minutes - 15.1 MB

I encourage you to give this seven minute speech a listen: The Sixteenth Second. Kyle Martin, a 2019 high school graduate, gives a powerful commencement address to his fellow graduating class. He put in a ton of work to accomplish being number one, but he reflects honestly on what it cost him. He learned a lesson early that should define his goals and the costs he is willing to pay in his life. Some of us have long past the age of 19, but maybe this is a lesson we need to learn as well. Be...

Hugging the Cactus

April 24, 2023 09:00 - 21 minutes - 14.6 MB

In 2011 Robert Downey Jr. gave an acceptance speech at an award show. In that speech he spoke of how he had to "hug the cactus," the deep, dark part of his life, in order to remove it. It was hard and painful, but it brought him humility and a changed life. For many of us, we can't just walk by a cactus like that and things be okay. I think I've often focused on smaller problems in order to justify ignoring bigger ones. But it turns out, the big problem is usually the thing causing the smal...

Just "Do Something"

April 17, 2023 09:00 - 22 minutes - 15.1 MB

Sam Bennett is a collegiate golfer from Texas A&M. He made an amazing showing at the Masters tournament recently. But his tattoo got as much attention as his golf game. He lost his father two years ago and had his father's last written words identically tattooed on his arm. The message is powerful and needful for us all. It can be so easy to do nothing. We do nothing out of fear. We do nothing out of a lack of self belief. Often we may do nothing as a result of a weaker faith than we'd like...

The Holy Longing

April 10, 2023 09:00 - 22 minutes - 15.7 MB

Special thanks to my friend, Kam Armstrong, for calling my attention to the book Sacred Fire, by Ronald Rolheiser. He expresses three levels of life, both physically and spiritually: Essential Discipleship (the struggle to get our lives together), Mature Discipleship (the struggle to give our lives away), and Radical Discipleship (the struggle to give our deaths away). We will be focusing on the first of those today, and particularly how young adults embrace this task of putting their own l...

In The Body

April 03, 2023 09:00 - 21 minutes - 15.1 MB

Are you in the body of Christ? That sounds serious. What does it mean? It becomes easy to see a relationship what Jesus as JUST a relationship with Jesus. But we are a part of something more - a group of people who belong to Him. He has added you because of your value in helping His body function and in assisting other Christians. As we explore that today we will look at 5 points by Ralph Walker. I'll list them below. I also got to ask Christian High Schoolers some questions about gifts, and...

Jesus and Disciples

March 27, 2023 09:00 - 21 minutes - 14.8 MB

Today we look at Jesus and His disciples. Jesus is perfect. Disciples are not. How is that supposed to work? In fact, in Mark 9, there are at least 5 shortcomings of the disciples. They are not Pharisees. Their hearts are good. But their walk was imperfect. Let's look at that list and appreciate how gracious and kind Jesus is! But there is also a call to growth. He is patient but He also has expectations. I hope you can look at this list today and pick some things you want to grow in out of ...

Pharisees and Disciples

March 20, 2023 09:00 - 22 minutes - 15.5 MB

Today we are comparing the Pharisees (along with some Priests and Rich folks) to true Disciples (even an outside looking in Gentile woman). The Gospels, and Jesus Himself, demand that we come face to face with the difference and choose who we want to be.  In today's episode we look at several stories I'll note and reference here: Pharisees and Tax Collector - Luke 18:9-14 The Good Samaritan - Luke 10:30-37 The Widow's Mites - Luke 21:1-4 Simon and the Sinful Woman - Luke 7:36-50 Pharisee an...
