Next Step Now

Have you ever felt like you couldn't continue?  Ever felt overwhelmed?  Ever felt like quitting...at anything?

This episode kicks off a two part conversation with my buddy Wesley discussing two principles we wish we internalized earlier in life. 

It was great hanging out with him again in the studio.

Our goal with this episode and the overall podcast is to encourage, challenge, and inspire you to take one step forward, right now, now matter where you are.

This is the final episode in a three part conversation with Jeff Kopp.

Jeff was drafted in 1995 to play for the Miami Dolphins.  His journey has taken him from the NFL to leading the prison campuses for the Church of Eleven22.

In this episode Jeff talks about his faith journey and how he ended up at the Church of Eleven22.  Oh - and how Dan Marino gave him some advice on buying an engagement ring that turned a bit sketchy!

I wrap up this episode with the story of my faith journey.  I had a powerful encounter with Romans 8:1 "Now there is no condemnation for those that are in Christ Jesus."  Condemnation is a construction term meaning unfit for use.  That is how so many of us feel!  Not anymore!

Our goal is to encourage, challenge, and inspire you to take one step forward, right now, now matter where you are.

This is the second in a three part conversation with Jeff Kopp.

Jeff was drafted in 1995 to play for the Miami Dolphins.  His journey has taken him from the NFL to leading the prison campuses for the Church of Eleven22.

If you had the chance to talk to the NFL football team who was in last place last year, what would you say to them?  That is what I asked this former Jaguars player who was with the team during the magical 1996 season.

Jeff talks about the mythical idea of "work ethic" and what that means.  This is a practical conversation that will challenge you to think through your work ethic.

Our goal is to encourage, challenge, and inspire you to take one step forward, right now, now matter where you are.

You may be surprised when you hear where the roots of this podcast go back to.

In this first episode, I'm joined by my buddy Wesley and we talk about meeting over 7 years ago while we were each facing the most challenging time of our lives.

Before we could move forward from that time, we had to ask three questions:

1 - What lessons can we learn from our current situation?
2 - What do I want my future to look like?
3 - What is the first step (not every step) towards that future?

Accountability says we must learn the lessons.
Hope helps us believe the best is yet to come.
Faith takes the first step, even if you don't know all of the steps.

Our goal is to encourage, challenge, and inspire you to to take one step forward, right now, no matter where you are.

This is the first in a three part conversation with Jeff Kopp.

Jeff was drafted in 1995 to play for the Miami Dolphins.  His journey has taken him from the NFL to leading the prison campuses for the Church of Eleven22.

But things didn't always go as planned.  We can learn two key principals from how Jeff handled those situations.

1 - He had the right mindset
2 - He surrounded himself by the right people

How do you handle situations that don't go as planned?  Does your response make it better or worse?

Our goal is to encourage, challenge, and inspire you to take one step forward, right now, now matter where you are.
