  • Ep. 47 | Why You're Continually Convincing Yourself To Do Better

    Have you ever found yourself continually convincing yourself that you need to do better? If so, it's a sign that you're not operating in your life purpose. When you operating in your purpose you are pulled forward by faith and continually making progress in your assignment.

    In today's episode, we talk about how finding your life purpose directs and maximizes your time and influence. When people struggle finding the purpose of life they look around and try to duplicate the purpose of those they see around them. However, this never seems to have lasting results and leads to feeling guilty that you're not doing enough and convincing yourself that you should be doing more. Everything changes when you find your life purpose because you're able to operate in a flow state that drives you forward.

    When you're able to find the purpose and assignment that God has for your life then that purpose kind of acts like bumpers in a bowling lane. The bumpers keep the ball moving down the lane to hit pins and knock them down. Knowing your purpose helps you stay on track.

    Key Takeaways:

    • When we try to borrow someone else's purpose it leads to exasperation
    • There's no way to be extraordinary when you're living in the average
    • The joy is not in the destination but in the flow state of the journey
    • When you find your purpose you'll always find the time

      • Ep. 46 | This One Action Will Kill Your Personal Growth More Than Anything Else

        What do the Dead Sea and Sea of Galilee have to do with your personal growth? The both receive water from the Jordan river, but one is an environment that helps support life while the other is an environment where nothing can survive. In order to fulfill your life purpose it's important that you're creating an environment that supports life instead of death. 

        In today's episode, I want to share with you how this analogy pertains to your personal growth, and the one action you can take to prevent an environment where your growth goes to die. We'll also talk about how your actions truly indicate what you believe, and that you might have a "goal belief" that is different than your true belief. 

        Faith was credited to Abraham when he believed God's promises and acted as if they were true. It's crucial, as you pursue the purpose of life, that you continually evaluate what your true beliefs are and take the necessary steps to align your goal beliefs with your true beliefs.  

        Key Takeaways:

        • The Dead Sea is too low, geographically, to have an outflow of water. Therefore, the only exit for water is through evaporation, and it creates an environment that cannot sustain life because the salt content is too high.
        • Like the Dead Sea, if you're not finding an outlet for your learning, then it will cultivate an environment where personal growth cannot survive.
        • There's a difference between knowledge, understanding, and wisdom. 
        • You can't just DO BETTER ... you have to change the thought behind the belief

          • Ep. 45 | What It Means To Be A Person After God's Own Heart

            What does it mean to be a person after God's own heart? This is a common phrase that get's tossed around in Christian circles, and as believers we strive toward that Goal ... but do we even know what it means?

            In today's episode, I want to share with you how God defines what it means to be a person after his own heart, and look at examples of when people operate in that identity and when they do not. This is an important topic because it is necessary if you want to succeed in your life purpose. God created you for a specific purpose and has a specific assignment for you. He's also provided a right way to live that will maximize your assignment and impact. This way of living requires faith that God says what he means and means what he says. 

            This episode is for you if you are wanting to be in alignment with God's purpose of life. 

            Key Takeaways:

            • Saul was replaced as king because he failed to operate as a man after God's own heart
            • David was considered a man after God's own heart because he would do everything God wanted him to do
            • Righteousness is just a word that means "right way of living"
            • God always provides but when we're not following his ways we may completely miss the provision.

                      • Ep. 42 | Charging The Goliaths In Your Life Purpose

                        How has your comfort zone been serving you in your life purpose? Anytime you're pursuing a change in life there will invariably come a time where you will need to decide to press forward or stop and move back. The results you see, as you step out and pursue your purpose of life, will be directly related to how you view what is comfortable and convenient.

                        In today's episode, I want to share with you how your comfort zone actually creates obstacles in your journey instead of creating a place of refuge. The enemy will do anything possible to thwart and stop your God-given assignment, and he will often use your comfort zones as a way to slow or stop your progress. However, God is looking for group of people who are willing to be problem solvers.

                        Part of the way God will work in your life to grow you in your assignment is by placing problems in front of you that need to be solved. These "problems" are truly the answer to becoming more like Him. These problems are like Goliath's in our path. They may seem like the obstacle to obtaining what we truly desire, but they're actually the path way. Your comfort zone is what holds you back and inevitably keeps you from fully becoming all you were created to be.

                        Key Takeaways:

                        • Your comfort zone is actually an obstacle to your growth instead of a place of refuge
                        • God prompted me to "release the funds" in order to help me grow to where I needed to be
                        • God is always looking to work with problem solvers to grow his kingdom
                        • God will continually place Goliath's in your path to help you become a kingdom minded problem solver

                          • Ep. 41 | What To Do When Things Are Worse Than When You started

                            Have you ever been pursuing a goal or a transformation and felt like you were in a worse position than when you started?

                            How did that feel?

                            If you're like me then it doesn't feel great and it creates the idea and temptation to stop the pursuit of reaching your goals and fulfilling your life purpose. God set it up for the purpose of life to become more like Him, and this requires faith to allow the process to strip away the pieces of our life that don’t reflect Him.

                            In today's episode, I want to share with you a new thought to hold when you feel like you're in the messy middle and ready to give up. There are plenty of circumstances in life where we don't hesitate to pursue through the messy middle. You know what I'm talking about if you've ever committed to an exercise regimen or finished a home remodel.

                            In both scenarios, the situation must get worse before it can get better. A home remodel requires a demolition phase, and our muscles must become sore from being torn down in order to build back stronger. This is for you if you're running low on hope and feel behind.

                            Key Takeaways:

                            • Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when we fulfill our desires it gives us life.
                            • Losing hope can cause you to feel enslaved to your circumstances
                            • Home remodels and sore muscles are indicators of how transformation works
                            • Hope is found through perseverance and building character

                              • Ep. 40 | The Domino Effect When You Settle

                                What happens when we stop pursuing the assignment that God has given you? Have you ever stopped to think about that in accordance to your life purpose?

                                In today's episode, I want to share with you what happens when you settle instead of pressing into everything God has for you, and why it's so vital for your legacy to not let your brain convince you that comfort is best. When Abraham made the trip to the land that God promised him he was actually completing the trip that his father started. Yet, his father settled in a place that was familiar instead of finishing the journey.

                                Deciding to walk in God's plan and purpose for your life will dramatically shift your faith and influence. Don't settle … instead allow God to reveal to you the purpose of life.

                                Key Takeaways:

                                • Not pressing forward in your assignment can leave more work for your kids.
                                • Is it possible that the promise given to Abraham could have been given to his dad?
                                • God is looking for people who have hearts that are fully devoted to him
                                • When you fully press in to being obedient to God's plan then it will radically grow your faith.

                                  • Ep. 39 | The Secret To Discovering Your God-given Assignment

                                    Are you confused or doubt that you're walking in your God-given assignment? Everything God made He made to succeed, and yet, it can be difficult to have clarity in your life purpose. That lack of clarity creates confusion and erodes confidence to truly move forward and fulfill the purpose of life and make a kingdom impact.

                                    In today's episode, I want to share with you what it looks like to confidently operate in your assignment and eliminate the feelings of dissatisfaction, inadequacy, and feeling fake. Don't fall into the trap of believing that everyone else is succeeding because that will continually hold you back from maximizing your life impact.

                                    This is important because If you don't get clarity and identify the thoughts that are holding you back then you'll always struggling feeling like you're not doing enough. You'll constantly be suppressing and fighting desires the desires that were given to you as fuel to succeed.

                                    If your faith is running on empty then you might just need a new perspective.

                                    Key Takeaways:

                                    • Lack of clarity in your assignment can create shame around the desires that you have
                                    • The four elements that must be present to enter a flow state

                                        Was Jesus serious when he said, "Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven"? 

                                        Is that even possible … to have God's kingdom here on earth AS IT IS IN HEAVEN?

                                        In today's episode, I want to share with you what God has personally taught me about His kingdom, and how it has radically shifted my perspective on my life purpose and the purpose of life here on earth.
