BFIT With Brian Pruett

In this episode, I sit down with yoga legend and community builder Jonah Kest for a deep conversation on presence, purpose, and how he approaches life from gratitude & mindfulness. We explore what it means to slow down, stay grounded, and connect more intentionally - with yourself, your highest purpose, and the people around you. This one's for anyone looking to live with more clarity, calm, and connection. Enjoy the balance of 'being' while 'becoming.'

In this episode, I share some life updates and break down 3 powerful lessons I learned from hosting my latest men's summit. From deep connection to raw honesty, these principles will challenge you to go all in, be fully human, and remember—it won't last forever!

I've been wanting to make this episode for a long time! It's focused on "How to become the man your future needs." These are lessons & tips I've learned in the past 10 years that I wish I would've implemented sooner!

These 7 shifts in thinking changed my ENITRE life. I hope they elevate your life as well: 1. Victim to Victor 2. Scarcity to Abundance 3. Self Limiting Words to Life Giving Words 4. External Validation to Internal Discovery 5. Control to Surrender 6. Outside in to Inside Out  7. Separateness to Oneness (Connection) 

This episode is a spontaneous expression of me processing life's unexpected turns lately & how I can better approach this beautifully unknown adventure we call LIFE. Hope you enjoy it & find value to improve your life! Keep becoming you.

In today's episode, I'm back in the Zen Den (My backyard) talking about this powerful shift in thinking:  STOP focusing on the "WHAT IF's"  - What if my business fails? - What if I'm not ready? - What if this happens? & START knowing that "even if" - Even if that happens, God is still good - Even if I mess it up, I'll still overcome - Even if...

HEALTH, PEACE & LOVE. In this episode, I use one of my favorite quotes (see below) & talk about what it means to have each, why it's important & how to grow in all three.

I'm excited for you to meet the woman who made me and shaped me into the man I am today. Today's guest: Momma Pru. This conversation was incredible.

Your mind is beyond powerful. Your success is dictated by how successfully you learn to have an abundance mindset - a growth mindset.  This episode I wanted to share a parable from the Bible about 3 people with 3 different mindsets. Two embraced an abundance mindset and took risks. The other stayed in scarcity and fear. The master came back and took everything from the scared servant but gave even more to the ones who lived by faith. How can we increase our trust, faith and confidence to take massive positive action?  It all depends on where we SET OUR MINDS. Let's ELEVATE

Diving into deep truths that change EVERYTHING. Psalm 23 in my own words: God, the Creator of all things & lover of my soul is my Father.. I have everything I need in Christ.. He makes me realize I have abundance.. He gives me His perfect peace and Living Water within me.. He restores me back to Wholeness & Oneness.. Even though I will walk through dark valleys.. I fear nothing.. Because He is with me.. He has all resources to protect, preserve & guide me.. God prepares a feast in the presence of everything against me.. He generously anoints me with His Spirit (fire & love).. My cup is always & forever overflowing.. Goodness, Truth & Love will chase me down all my days.. & I will live, breathe and love with God in His house forever.

Christ said things like, "Deny yourself" and "Follow me." He also said, "Whoever seeks to save his life will lose his life." And that He came to bring not just a good life but "the Abundant life." This episode is about what others have described as "ego death" or the denying of the "separated self," which is everything in us that is not from God. The ego always wants control, always wants it's own way, and is never satisfied. I dive into Oswald Chambers excerpt from "My Utmost for His Highest" on the topic of "individuality" or "the ego" and how it is the shell which protects our real, personal life with God. It's not a bad thing as much as it is a layer that must be shed or denied to enter into union with GOD. I also share my personal testimony of how Jesus Christ changed my entire life, even my heart. May this episode inspire you to continue staying spiritually fit for life now and forever.

We are created beings, yes. But an even more powerful truth is we are creative beings. Meaning, we can actual create worlds and realities. We have GOD given imaginations that can dream up a reality that has never existed before hand. This episode I dive into the creative nature of God and what it could mean to be "made in God's image." Bottomline: We creative beings with the power to co create with God through our thoughts, words & actions. Let's elevate how we create.

This episode I share my journey from frustration to fulfillment in what I allow to define me. This is a journey of letting go of our appearance (body, job, money, & success) define us. Letting go of what others stand other people define me, and instead look to God to define me. Only God can ultimately define you.. Let go of letting anything or anyone else ultimately define you.

Do you want to live a more intentional life? Do you feel like sometimes you miss moments you wish you didn't? Yeah, same... So what's the solution? Higher perspective. Higher consciousness. Higher state of being.. This episode, I share my story of meeting Trevor Hall in Tampa, FL before his concert. Once you get past my sub par story telling ability, I connect it with Moses and the Burning Bush - the essential idea of living open and being ready to see things that may otherwise go unnoticed. Because what if ALL ground, is in fact, "Holy ground?" What if God is always speaking to us but His voice just goes unnoticed because of distraction or lower conscious living?

Shiny Object Syndrome: A continual state of distraction brought on by an ongoing belief that there is always something new worth pursuing.

In this episode, I talk about the importance of knowing your why and doing everything with the END in mind. If you have a big enough why (or purpose) for doing something, you can overcome anything life throws your way. Also, if you know the why or PURPOSE of what you do, you will be much more effective. Discover your why and live from your purpose. Begin with the end in mind with everything you do and the rest will take care of itself.
