“Life is chess, not checkers” . You’ve probably heard this said before - and it’s very true in many aspects, 4 of which we take a look at today. Every move you make has consequences that will impact the game of life ahead. In this episode of Project Dreams, we break down how discipline, sacrifice, and faith will shape your future - and why keeping your values at the center is a non-negotiable. If you’re tired of drifting and ready to play with purpose, this one’s for you.

In this episode, we explore a side of gratitude that goes deeper than a polite “thank you.” Real gratitude isn’t just a reaction — it’s an emotion, a lifestyle, and a discipline you build like a muscle. From the science of how gratitude rewires your brain to the spiritual truth that all we have is a gift, we unpack how this one mindset shift can radically impact your happiness, motivation, sleep, relationships and overall wellbeing.

As we continue the conversation about what identity is, sometimes it can help to determine what identity is not. This week we speak with mother of seven children, teacher, and ministry leader, Mrs. Linda Yardley about her own story in finding out what identity is, first by figuring out what identity is not. 

The first episode of our new series on Identity!  

What is identity? How do you define yours and make sense of it?  

Co-Hosts Ethan and David join a discussion to answer some of these questions on the podcast this week.
