We all hear voices — the critic, the crowd, and the whisper of God.

But how do you tell the difference?

In this episode of Waypoint, Neil O’Boyle dives into The Voice Within — exploring how self-talk, social media, and spiritual noise shape who we become. From AI “advice” to the endless scroll of hustle culture and pop-spiritual affirmations, this honest and practical conversation asks:

👉 Which voice are you listening to?

Drawing on neuroscience, culture, and Scripture, Neil unpacks how to:

Recognise when the inner critic is lying

Tune out cultural noise and comparison

Hear God’s voice with clarity and confidence

Find real peace instead of feel-good sedation

Featuring real audio moments from trending online voices and grounded biblical truth, The Voice Within is a raw, relevant, and hope-filled reflection for anyone trying to follow Jesus in a world that never shuts up.

📖 “My sheep hear my voice; I know them, and they follow me.” — John 10:27

This podcast uses short extracts from 'Everything is already solved' by Bosque Neuroscience, and Simon Sinek on toxic positivity by Big Moves Motivation via youtube, and does so under fair use.

If the Bible celebrates success, how else are we supposed to measure it — except by comparison? Yet somewhere between healthy ambition and envy, joy quietly slips away. In this episode of Waypoint, Neil O’Boyle explores how comparison sneaks into our faith, ministry, and everyday life, redefining success around others instead of Christ. Through Scripture, real stories, and honest reflection, discover how to find peace in doing what God’s called you to do — not what everyone else seems to be doing better.

When was the last time you stubbed your toe and thanked God for the joy of excruciating agony?

Neil hasn’t quite reached that level of happiness and holy enthusiasm. So when people say, “Be true to yourself,” he can’t help but notice the paradox — because being true to yourself and being true to Jesus aren’t always compatible.

In this first episode of Waypoint, Neil O’Boyle digs into the tension between the “real me” and the “Christ-like me.” With warmth, wit, and northern honesty, he explores what genuine authenticity looks like when we stop performing and start aligning our lives with the One who is truly real. And just for fun Neil does it in the rain, sitting on his swinging bench with his dog distracting him throughout.
