When we see what we want or even need to do, sometimes our head says yes but it is disconnected from our heart and we're not sure we can do what we really want or need. Doubt leads to hesitation. Hesitation leads to failure. Failure creates shame and condemnation. Simply said, double mindedness leads to failure and shame! Let's switch this around to thinking clearly and propelling us to success.

Hi. My name is Brian Holmes, and I am a recovering people pleaser. Before you get your feathers ruffled, I'm willing to bet you're one, too!

Why do so many of us struggle with pleasing others and gaining their approval? What motivates us to say yes when we know we shouldn't? Is it possible to break free from people-pleasing and performance-based approval?

In this episode, we'll revisit an issue that seemed to resonate with so many of you and answer these questions and more as we talk about The Plague of People Pleasing and How You Can Break Free.

Have you ever known anyone who, no matter what seems to happen, they always blame someone else? The art of deflection is quite destructive. Take ownership, accountability, and responsibility rather than deflecting those as excuses. When you own it, you can really go places.

Tired eyes rarely see a good future, and a tired mind rarely makes good decisions." ~ Mike Murdock

One of the most damning traits of the western culture is an obsession with being busy. There is a false supposition many have bought into: if you are not busy doing something, you are not valuable.

In the US, a staggering percentage of people experience depression, hypertension, disease, and so many other challenges, and so much of this is tied to stress, anxiety, and lack of REST.

This episode, I want to talk to you about real rest: living from a place of stillness and quiet, even in the midst of chaos. I want to talk to you about being intentional with your life (living strategically), and re-centering in the rest that God has provided us. Today, let's discuss Practicing the Principle of Rest.

Spring time in these parts means a fresh start, and the infamous spring cleaning! I'm not just talking about dusting and vacuuming, but cleaning out the physical, emotional, and even the unnoticed clutter from your life. If you have clutter, you're polluting your potential!

We Have "Them and Us" Syndrome

One of the greatest travesties I've witnessed in my lifetime is intentional separation between the church and the marketplace. This mindset has crippled our ability to bring heaven on earth, and has paralyzed us in becoming relevant change agents in the culture.

On today's program, I want to share with you the importance of Convergence: When Market And Ministry Collide.
