  • Dr. Dusty Hess - Back to God's Design - Mission Human Excellence, Ep. 18

    In this conversation, Dr. Dusty and I discuss the importance of holistic health, defining excellence in health, and the concept of stewardship. We explore the fragmented nature of healthcare, the impact of processed foods, and generational health issues. Dr. Dusty emphasizes the significance of perspective in health, the role of epigenetics, and the need for a shift towards generalist healthcare. We also discuss practical solutions for improving health, including managing energy levels and prioritizing sleep.

    Dr. Dusty highlights the importance of understanding God's design in relation to nutrition, movement, and overall health. He stresses the need to pull ourselves out of the current consumer-driven world to appreciate the natural design of food and our bodies. We cover topics such as the role of whole foods, polyphenols, intermittent fasting, and the significance of values in health. Dr. Dusty also addresses the complexities of navigating health subcultures and the importance of awareness in tackling issues like cancer. Ultimately, he advocates for empowering individuals to take control of their health through informed choices and community support.

    • The Parable of the Minas, Lessons In Stewardship - Mission Human Excellence, Ep. 17

      Luke 19:11-27 Parable of the Minas. One of the verses that hit home when I first started to listen, read, and study the bible. 

      I didn’t notice how similar I was to the 3rd servant. And from then, my goal is to just become the first 2 servants that were called “good servants.” 

      In this episode, I talk about how these verses really ministered to me and the lessons that I pulled from this parable.

          One of my older episodes that I made for a different podcast. I've been on this journey for a while now, and the one thing I know is that no matter who we hang out with, you become just like them.

          Choose the people around you with the highest level of intention based on where you want your life to be.

          Just because they've been friends for over 27 years, doesn’t mean that they are supportive, helpful, and excited about your growth.

          So make sure you surround yourself with the right people, right community, so you can continue to grow into the version God had intended you to be.

          • Keep moving forward despite challenges.

          • Celebrate small wins with your community.

I share personal anecdotes from my childhood that shaped my understanding of success and the detrimental effects of perfectionism. I emphasize the importance of measuring progress rather than outcomes, encouraging you to focus on your efforts and improvements instead of striving for unattainable perfection.

                  • Excellence is about progress and effort, not just outcomes.

                  • Different individuals have different skills and learning paces.

                  • Perfectionism can lead to anxiety and decreased performance.

                  • Measuring success by progress fosters a healthier mindset.

                  • Recognizing personal achievements is crucial for self-esteem.

                  • The journey of learning is more important than the final result.

                  • Embracing excellence can lead to a more fulfilling life.

                    • Study the Bible with Me - James 1 - Part 2 - Mission Human Excellence, Ep. 12

                      In this solo episode, I discuss the importance of leadership and applying the teachings of the Bible to our lives. The need to take action and not just have knowledge, something that I emphasize in my own life, making progress towards excellence in that area everyday. I also explore the concept of temptation and the role of God in testing us and also highlights the importance of listening, being slow to speak, and avoiding anger. Highly encourage all of you to not just listen to the word of God, but to also do what it says and live according to His teachings.

                      —-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                      Leadership is essential in all aspects of life, including our homes, churches, and workplaces.

                      Temptation comes from the enemy, not from God. God allows us to be tested to refine our faith and dependence on Him.

                      We should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry. Active listening and empathy are crucial in communication.

                      We often make excuses for our wrong actions and thoughts, but we should take responsibility and confess our wrongs to God.

                      Merely listening to the word of God is not enough; we must also do what it says. Obedience to God's commands brings freedom.

                      Striving for excellence is more important than striving for perfection. We should continually pursue growth and transformation through God's word.
