Episode 5 | Light or the Smoke? (Chapter 8)
In this part of Chapter 8: Facing the Mirror, we explore the unsettling reality of thinking we’re walking in light when, in truth, we’re surrounded by smoke—a fog that blinds us from seeing clearly. Using scripture, real-life imagery, and historical references, we unpack what it means to have “light” that’s actually darkness—and how dangerous that can be.

You’ll discover:
* Why this was the hardest and deepest chapter to write
* The scripture in Matthew that warns about light that is actually darkness—and how deep that darkness can be
* The military tactic of the smoke screen and how it mirrors spiritual vulnerability
* How fog and smoke distort our vision even when the light is on
* The connection between spiritual “smoke” and hidden fires in our lives—and how to trace it back to its source

If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re truly on the right path or just lost in a false sense of clarity, this episode will challenge and inspire you to clear the smoke and walk in true light.

📖 From Chapter 8: Facing the Mirror in the book.🙏 May our eyes be healthy and our vision clear.

🔥 What You'll Experience in Chapter 7 (Full Episode):
* Snakes in Real Life: What they look like (clients, coworkers, betrayal), how they operate, and why it's never the person — it's the spirit behind them.
* The Michael Jordan Analogy: Elevation as a weapon. When attacked, don’t play defense on the ground — Air Jordan on ’em and take the battle to higher ground.
* Eagle vs. Snake: Why eagles never fight on the ground — and how your fight must remain above the bait.
* The Bait-Hook-Kill Pattern: The enemy uses the same tired strategy. Learn it. Cut the line before he reels you in.
* Stealing Your Perspective: The real danger isn’t just deception — it’s losing your focus, your mission, your vision.
* The Power of Praise: Drawing from Jehoshaphat’s story, learn how praise isn’t passive — it’s a sword that severs the serpent’s hold.
* Gratitude As Armor: How walking in thankfulness spiritually fortifies you, focuses your mind, and makes you untouchable.

💡 Whether you're facing betrayal, spiritual warfare, or emotional bait in business or life — this episode gives you clarity, strategy, and authority to recognize the enemy, resist the bait, and cut the head off the snake with spiritual elevation and unshakable truth.

📖 This is more than a podcast — it's armor. This is Chapter 7. And it’s a game-changer.

Welcome to the Builder of All Things Podcast—where we go beyond the pages of the book and explore into the Author’s Cut! 🔥 Join Richie Breaux and Ray Bisnar as they break down each chapter in micro-episodes, giving you the behind-the-scenes insights, deeper wisdom, and real-life applications—just like a Director’s Cut for a book. 

Episode 5 of Chapter 7 is raw, real, and essential. In this one, we break down the enemy’s full playbook: Bait. Hook. Kill. Just like a skilled fisherman, the snake doesn’t rush. He studies you, tailors the bait, waits patiently — and when he gets the hook in, he goes in for the kill.

🎙️ Richie gets transparent about how these strategies show up — not just in faith, but in business, leadership, relationships, and the inner life.

🔍 Topics Covered in This Episode:
* The Bait: It’s customized to your weakness — a fake worm crafted to lure you off mission.
* The Hook: You respond emotionally, act impulsively, and suddenly... you're caught.
* The Kill: Stress. Division. Isolation. Business collapse. Even physical sickness — if you don’t cut the line, it gets darker fast.
* Why awareness isn't enough — you need a strategy to cut the line.
* The danger of isolation and losing your connection to the Captain of your ship.
* Why some entrepreneurs feel stuck or spiritually dry — they’ve been slowly reeled in and don’t even realize it.
* How to get unhooked, even if it’s already in deep.

🛠️ This isn’t about marketing tactics or business trends — this is the spiritual survival gear every faith-driven leader needs. If you’re leading anything — a family, a business, a team — you will face the bait. And if you're not ready, it can cost you everything.

📖 Chapter 7 isn’t a warning. It’s a weapon. You’ll walk away from this episode knowing how to recognize the enemy’s setup — and how to cut the line before you’re dragged to the boat.

Episode 4 of Chapter 7 flips the script. No more just defending — now it’s time to go on the offense. It’s time to kill the snake. But not with fists, not with harsh words — with praise, perspective, and the power of gratitude.

🎙️ In this powerful close to the “Snakes” segment of Chapter 7, Richie reveals the spiritual secret weapon: worship. Straight from the playbook of Ephesians 6 and the story of Jehoshaphat, we discover how praise doesn’t just push back darkness — it cuts the head off the enemy.

💥 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
* Why praise is the weapon the enemy can’t stand — literally.
* The snake used to be heaven’s worship leader — so your praise is his worst nightmare.
* How gratitude clears your mind, calms your emotions, and protects your purpose.
* Why reacting emotionally means you’ve already taken the bait.
* The role of perspective in battle — and why gratitude builds an invisible hedge around you.
* Practical examples of how Richie used this in real business battles and won.

🛡️ Don’t fight the snake on the ground. Elevate the battle. Let God take the front line. When you walk in gratitude, the enemy loses access. No matter the lies, accusations, or emotional bait — you stay grounded, focused, and victorious.

📖 This episode wraps the "Snakes" arc with deep insight, heartfelt testimony, and equipping truth for anyone under fire.

Episode 3 of Chapter 7 takes the gloves off. We’re diving into real-life snake attacks — not physical ones, but deceptive, character-attacking, bait-filled schemes that aim to steal your peace, your focus, and your purpose.

🎙️ Richie shares a personal story about a client trying to publicly attack his character and even his marriage — and how he resisted the temptation to take the bait. The focus: truth over reaction, discernment over drama.

🐟 Key Themes We Break Down:
* How to recognize bait: The enemy studies you and tailors distractions just for you.
* Why truth is your starting point: Before reacting, ask “What’s true?”
* The danger of fighting in the dirt: When you respond in emotion, you’re fighting the snake on its terms.
* The enemy's #1 goal: Steal your perspective — because if he gets your lens, he gets your mission.
* What Jesus’ temptation in the wilderness teaches us: The devil’s tricks haven’t changed — he’s a “1-2-3” fighter with a predictable game plan.
* Why knowing the enemy’s patterns gives you power — in business, leadership, and life.

🔥 This episode is packed with practical wisdom for entrepreneurs, leaders, and anyone navigating conflict, slander, or personal attacks. Don’t let deception shift your focus. Don’t let bait knock you off your God-given course.

📖 Chapter 7 isn’t just about snakes — it’s about staying sharp, grounded, and elevated even when you’re under fire.

Episode 2 of Chapter 7 takes the conversation deeper — from spiritual symbolism to real-world practicality. In the last episode, we introduced the concept of the snake as one of the “Big 3” forces of adversity (Storms, Snakes, and Smoke). Now, we break down what the snake looks like in real life, and how we’re supposed to respond when it shows up.

🎙️ Richie shares stories, scripture, and insight to help you discern the enemy’s tactics, especially when deception comes through people close to you. Whether it’s an employee acting shady, a friend shifting the truth, or someone stirring division — don’t be fooled: the person isn’t the snake, but the snake may be working through them.

🔥 In this episode:
* What the snake looks like in business, family, and leadership
* How to tell the difference between God’s storm and the enemy’s attack
* Why you never attack the person — or else you're fighting on the enemy’s turf
* The danger of fighting in the flesh vs. elevating like the eagle
* What Jesus meant when He rebuked Peter — and how that applies to us

👀 Real talk, spiritual depth, and leadership clarity all collide here. If you've ever felt betrayed, misjudged, or baited into conflict — this one’s for you.

📖 Stick with us as we continue through Chapter 7 of the book in this Author’s Cut series, and get ready for Episode 3 where we bring it full circle.

In this powerful episode of the Builder of All Things Podcast, we’re cutting into Chapter 7 of the book — and it’s all about snakes. But not the kind you can step on... we're talking about the enemy, the kind that creeps in subtle and silent. We break it all down with real talk, spiritual insight, and cultural flavor.

🎙️ Richie opens with a powerful metaphor: "Air Jordan on 'Em" — a reference to Michael Jordan’s iconic elevation and finesse. But this isn’t just about basketball. This is about spiritual warfare, discernment, and how to respond when you’re under attack.

🧠 Topics we cover:
* The Three S's: Storms, Snakes, and Smoke — how to recognize which one you're in.
* Why categorizing adversity matters: Is it God-allowed? Enemy-driven? Or self-inflicted?
* What it means to “Air Jordan on the enemy” — rise up, elevate your perspective, and bring it to God.
* The legendary eagle vs. snake battle: why where you fight determines whether you win.

🐍 Whether you’ve felt the sting of betrayal, the pull of temptation, or the confusion of struggle, this episode will challenge you to look at your situation with a sharper lens — and respond with elevation, not reaction.
