  • Leadership, Mercy & Grace: The Strength to Forgive


    True leadership isn't just about courage, integrity, and accountability. It's also about mercy, grace, and forgiveness.

    How do we extend grace to those who have disappointed us, betrayed us, or even intentionally hurt us? And how do we forgive without compromising our values?

    In this episode of the GHRITS Podcast, Mindy Brown explores the power of leading with compassion, forgiving our enemies, and remembering that people are people. We all make mistakes, and we all need mercy.

    God extended mercy and grace to us even when we didn't deserve it. Shouldn't we be willing to do the same for others?

    Mercy isn't weakness. Forgiveness isn't surrender. And grace doesn't eliminate accountability.

    Discover how leading with wisdom, humility, and compassion can transform lives and create a legacy of significance.

  • Fierce Leadership for Change

    Fierce Leadership for Change | GHRITS Podcast

    What does it take to stand for what is right when standing comes at a personal cost?

    Fierce leadership isn't about titles, recognition, or having everyone agree with you. It's about courage, conviction, integrity, and believing in a cause greater than yourself.

    In 2021, I became a whistleblower and lost my job after speaking up about concerns in the transportation industry. That experience changed my life, but it didn't change my purpose.

    In this episode, we're talking about standing against human trafficking, supporting those affected by drug addiction, protecting children, addressing device hacking, and advocating for the responsible use of artificial intelligence.

    Because real leadership isn't about what we gain. Sometimes it's about what we're willing to sacrifice to protect others.

    Fierce leadership means standing with purpose, even when you stand alone.

    I believe God places a calling on our hearts for a reason. And when that calling is greater than ourselves, we must have the courage to keep moving forward.

    Join me as we explore what it means to lead with faith, compassion, and conviction—and how we can create meaningful change together.

  • Make Your Mess Your Message

    Make Your Mess Your Message | GHRITS Podcast with Mindy Brown

    What if the greatest pain you've experienced becomes the very thing God uses to fulfill your greatest purpose?

    Inspired by Robin Roberts and the powerful wisdom of her mother, "Make your mess your message," this episode explores how God can transform our hardships into hope, our pain into purpose, and our struggles into opportunities to change lives.

    Through Mark 11:23–25, we explore the power of faith, prayer, and forgiveness, and why the mountains we face don't have to define our future.

    I'll also share a lesson my father taught me about "spiritual sandpaper" and how life's most difficult experiences can mold us into the people God created us to become.

    The goal isn't simply to survive the mess. The goal is to allow God to turn it into a message that changes lives.

    Your past does not define your purpose, and your story isn't over.

  • People Before Personal Gain: The Courage to Do What's Right

    People Before Personal Gain: The Courage to Do What's Right

    What would our world look like if we put people before personal gain?

    Philippians 2:3–4 reminds us to do nothing from selfish ambition, but in humility to count others more significant than ourselves.

    In this episode of GHRITS, Mindy Brown explores what it truly means to lead with humility, kindness, courage, and integrity. From protecting those who cannot protect themselves to standing up for what's right when it comes at a personal cost, our decisions have consequences that reach far beyond ourselves.

    True leadership isn't about power, position, or profits. It's about people. And true significance isn't measured by what we accomplish, but by the lives we touch and the difference we make.

    Never knowingly put another human being in harm's way for personal gain.

    Because doing the right thing matters, even when it's difficult.

  • Stinkin’ Thinking

    What are you feeding your mind? And how much influence are you allowing other people to have over your thoughts, emotions, and peace?

    In today's episode of the GHRITS Podcast, Mindy Brown shares a powerful reminder from Ephesians 6:17 about putting on the helmet of salvation and protecting our minds.

    Negative thinking, or what some call stinking thinking, can affect our mood, steal our joy, and influence how we see ourselves and the world around us.

    Philippians 4:8 reminds us to focus on whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, and admirable.

    Sometimes protecting your peace means changing your focus, establishing healthy boundaries, and taking an honest look at your environment and the people in your inner circle.

    You cannot always control what enters your mind, but you can choose what you continue to feed.

    It's time to stop allowing negativity to define your thinking and start intentionally focusing on faith, gratitude, hope, and truth.

  • Slaying Your Goliath With the Word No

    There is power in the word no.

    Sometimes the biggest giants in our lives are fear, intimidation, manipulation, regret, or the pressure to keep following a path we know is wrong. But no matter what you have done, believed, or participated in before, you can make a different choice today.

    In this episode of the GHRITS Podcast, Mindy Brown talks about courage, boundaries, discernment, standing in your truth, and why it is always the right time to do the right thing.

    You do not have to carry a story someone else created for you. You can take responsibility for what belongs to you, learn from the past, pivot, and move forward with integrity.

    Sometimes slaying your Goliath starts with one simple word:

    No.

  • Soft Hearts, Stong Backbones

    What does it really mean to ask God to soften your heart?

    Life can make us angry, guarded, and focused on the people who hurt us—the lies, gossip, manipulation, betrayal, and disappointment. But what if God is calling us to redirect that energy toward something bigger?

    In this episode of the GHRITS Podcast, Mindy Brown explores the difference between being offended and being called to stand for what is right. From protecting children and confronting human and drug trafficking to creating responsible guardrails around emerging technology, this conversation is about choosing purpose over resentment and significance over winning.

    A soft heart does not mean a weak heart.

    Sometimes it takes a soft heart—and a strong backbone—to forgive what is personal while still standing firmly for what matters.

  • The Courage to Love Anyway

    What does it look like to choose love when love is difficult?

    In this episode of the GHRITS Podcast, Mindy Brown talks about having the courage to do good even when others have hurt you, misunderstood you, or failed to love you well.

    Sometimes you cannot change another person, what happened, or the choices they made. But you can choose how you respond. You can choose courage over bitterness, goodness over retaliation, and significance over self.

    Mindy also shares how her father helped shape her understanding of love, courage, and standing for what is right — and why leaving the world better for the next generation matters so deeply.

    If life has knocked you down, rejection has left you questioning your worth, or you are walking through a difficult season, this episode is a reminder that there is still hope, purpose, community, and a way forward.

    Move forward with GHRITS:

    Gratitude. Hope. Resilience. Intuition. Tenacity. Significance.

    You are loved. You are not alone. And your story is not finished.

  • Built in the Breaking

    What happens when life stretches you beyond what you thought you could handle?

    In this episode of the GHRITS Podcast, we’re talking about self-efficacy—the belief that even when you don’t know exactly how you’ll get through something, you trust that you will find a way.

    Hard seasons can stretch us, shape us, and sometimes break us open to something new. Through the struggle, we can become stronger, wiser, more compassionate, and more intentional about the kind of person we want to be.

    We’ll also talk about choosing kindness during difficult times, living out the fruits of the Spirit, and becoming part of the solution instead of adding to the problems around us.

    You don’t have to have every answer today.

    You just have to believe you can take the next step.

  • Leading or Following: Eyes Wide Open or Eyes Wide Shut?

    What does it really mean to lead—and to follow—with your eyes wide open?

    In this episode of the GHRITS Podcast, Mindy Brown talks about trust, discernment, accountability, motives, and the responsibility both leaders and followers carry.

    Leadership should never be about ego, control, power, or blind loyalty. It should be about integrity, protecting people, doing what is right, and having the courage to stand for something bigger than yourself.

    Mindy also explores why we do not always have to “pick a side” to make a difference. Sometimes the better choice is to take a stand—for unity, truth, accountability, human dignity, and protecting those who cannot protect themselves.

    This episode challenges you to examine who you follow, how you lead, and whether you are contributing to the problem—or becoming part of the solution.
