NOTE: If you are incapable of discerning the difference between addressing a problem and slandering a person, DO NOT LISTEN to this episode.  Bed Of Embers coaching and development group:  https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd3wcsEyVwnmPgd_X3UiXACXwFjJYJTdbIu5gTrj6C5jS6kSw/viewform?usp=sf_link https://officialpatriotgear.com/ - code: gregw10 for 10% off

56. BeTtEr

I want to get BeTtEr. Saying "I want to/need to/will get better" is a trap. Mostly because people are looking to escape the consequence, not the behavior, but sometimes because the basic "better" is without aim. This is a powerful, challenging conversation about what better really means and how you can capitalize on your desire to change and actually do it.

55. The Call Starts The Work

God's call does NOT mean you have arrived. It means you have only just begun. As soon as the word comes, life changes. Receiving the call is not the end, but the beginning of the true work. "Do not be surprised by the fiery ordeal for this is the way."

54. God Calls The Equipped

Why do so many of us believers believe "God calls the equipped" more than we believe "God equips the called"?  How much more pain and delay have we put on ourselves from just not understanding the testing process?  Today I talk about this and give you 5 key actions that, if you start applying today, will help you develop into the person that could accomplish God's call on your life.

53. Gaps In Discipleship

As the body of Christ we are the face, hands, mouth, and expression of Jesus on this planet. Why then are young Christians looking to things and people outside the church for help? With money? Relationships? Depression? Identity? Belonging? Etc?  Should the church not be the best of the best when it comes to life?  This is an honest conversation based on my experience and observations. We must do better, because our young ones are at risk of following people and things that will not divert...

51. 2 Ways Christians Walk In Death

For believers, death is as unnatural as it was for Adam and Eve prior to the apple. We have been born again, LITERALLY new creatures, tied eternally to the Creator. Yet, we somehow still manage to walk in death.  Here are 2 ways I know we subject ourselves to death, even after we've been born again.  Bed Of Embers coaching and development group:  https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd3wcsEyVwnmPgd_X3UiXACXwFjJYJTdbIu5gTrj6C5jS6kSw/viewform?usp=sf_link https://officialpatriotgear.com/...

48. Better With Age

Why does so much in life get worse over time? Relationships? Drive? Energy? Self-development? Why do we anticipate the disintegration of things over time? Who decided this was normal? Should we accept it, or is there another way?  Bed Of Embers coaching and development group:  https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd3wcsEyVwnmPgd_X3UiXACXwFjJYJTdbIu5gTrj6C5jS6kSw/viewform?usp=sf_link https://officialpatriotgear.com/ - code: gregw10 for 10% off

44. How does PEACE fit into this?

"But where is the room for peace?"  This is a question I've heard from a lot of people.  How do we make room for peace with the intensity?

43. Ryan - don't count the small guy out

Ryan was in the middle of Hurricane Ian. Without power for two weeks. Without a job because his workplace was literally was away. Without a lot to find hope in. But Ryan is not small in heart. He has been working tirelessly with groups of Floridians to clear ruble, gather resources, and offer up love to those hit the hardest.  Today, we talk about the hurricane, faith, manhood, parenting, marriage, and more. This is just a badass, raw conversation between two men who truly believe they can ...

42. Discipline Your Kids

Discipline in the context of parenting is so disgustingly mis-defined as punishment. Punishment is one small piece of what discipline truly is for children. Today, I go in depth on what discipline really is and share how I've disciplined my kids in order for them to be strong, responsible, healthy individuals.  Bed Of Embers coaching and development group:  https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd3wcsEyVwnmPgd_X3UiXACXwFjJYJTdbIu5gTrj6C5jS6kSw/viewform?usp=sf_link https://officialpatrio...

40. Be The Ambush

How often have pity, depression, temptation, relapse, or doubt come out of nowhere? Hit you before you knew what happened?  But it never comes out of nowhere. There are always signs. You're just too busy or selfish or focused on pleasure to even see it. Today, I'm going to teach you how to see it before it happens and BECOME THE AMBUSH.
