STRIKE THREE… YOU'RE OUT! (OR ARE YOU?) What if life had an umpire calling the shots? “Strike one, strike two…” and when someone crosses the line—boom—you know it's time to walk away. Simple, right?Except life isn't that simple. Especially when it comes to forgiveness. In this powerful episode of The Nicole Crank Show, I sit down with my friend Mary Searight, and whew—she goes there. She shares raw, real stories of betrayal, hurt, and heartbreak… and how God led her through one of the hardest things we're ever asked to do: forgive.Been let down? Carrying offense? Holding on to bitterness?This one is for YOU. Because healing is possible. Freedom is real.

FIGHTING and FAMILY - two words that usually don't go well together. Unless you are UFC Heavyweight Champion, Frank Mir. He is a great family man and He's here to talk to us today about it. I want to toss a new idea in the ring for you today to consider: Maybe family is worth fighting for. Family might even be worth, I don't know, saying no to something else on the calendar so you have time together to really focus on what matters. I want you to hear from a strong man, a strong male figure who will fight fiercely for his family. He fights in the ring and he fights for family. So if you're ready to take it to the mats and win your family over, let's go.

Pain, loss, and grief can build up inside of us and can burst out of us like a waterfall in sometimes unhealthy ways. Emotions are real and they can be HARD TO PROCESS!

NO ONE gets married thinking they're going to get divorced, right? And man, divorce is just so hard! How are you going to ever heal up from the things that were said, and the ideas of the life that you thought you were going to have with that person? How can that ever be okay?Well, actually, I have a friend who's going to join me today, and we're going to talk really candidly about divorce because she walked through a really tough situation, a really bad divorce. And the question kind of was, can I ever be okay again after divorce?And believe it or not, you can not just be okay… You can be better.

It's exciting, right? If they can do it, we can do it too! Because with God, we can do all things. This week, we have somebody who you would not expect!

Do you know what you're looking for? Nicole teaches what to do when our treasure looks like a trial.

Do you ever feel like you're stuck in the middle? We watch our best friend have a baby. We watch another good friend get a promotion. We watch our cousin earn their doctorate degree, and we didn't even go to college. And we think, what about me? I mean, I've been working. I've been struggling and bending over backwards to do all the things, and nobody is even paying attention to the fact that I do have some talent and I do matter... Is anybody seeing my hard work? Today my guest is Joel Smallbone of the band King And Country and actor and director of the hit movie, "Unsung Hero." He is the middle child in a big family and his sister is the celebrated singer, Rebecca St. James. She's was making it big while he's over on the sideline going, "but I can sing!" He wanted to share his gift with the world, but he wasn't an overnight success. So today you are feeling stuck like a middle child, or somebody overlooked, or somebody supporting somebody else, or like everybody else has got the middle of the cookie but you don't... I want to remind you that sometimes the best part, it's in the middle, and God knows just the right time for you to enjoy it. Are you ready? Let's go.

Don't judge your life by where you are now, because where you are now is not where God is taking you. Transitions in life are real and they are hard! So I found a friend who just did a movie as an executive producer but she didn't start there. She was once D.J. Tanner from Full House. She was ‘Deej' and she always had this resolution at the end. And she was always this great teenager who was in the right place and doing the right thing. I didn't know she could be a boss!!! Candace Cameron Bure laid it all down in Hollywood to go home and be a stay-at-home mom for a decade and came back stronger than ever starring in, like, a billion movies on the Hallmark Channel and started producing movies. It's all about how we handle transition. She recently produced a movie called “Unsung Hero” that went number two at the box office. Change can be hard, but it can also make you successful. So today I want you to talk with her about some of these transitions in life and how you can do it as well. Are you ready? Let's go!

We got into our happy place, and we started thinking how do we bring people happiness? Joy? How do we get them laughing again? She Laughs - The 2024 I Am Woman Conference is coming! It's going to be in Saint Louis, Missouri on June 7th and 8th. We're going to be in West Palm Beach, Florida on July 12th and 13th. And no matter where you are in the world, we're going to be online. We're inspiring you with guest speakers like Stephanie Ike Okafor, Bianca Olthoff, Real Talk Kim and me. And we have these after-party concerts that are going to blow you away. Tickets are going fast and I don't want you to miss it. So call a friend, text them right now and get online and go to iamwoman.tv/2024. You are going to love this.

I believe that an ounce of prevention is a whole pound of cure. I have this whole tackle box of vitamins because of it! Here's my prayer for you: that you never get sick, that nobody in your family is ever sick, and that you never get the call, or that diagnosis that can really make you panic as you walk into a health battle. Today I'm going to introduce you to my friend, Susan Malzoni. She breeds horses. I used to breed horses. She's a horse enthusiast. I'm a horse enthusiast. We love animals. We love health. We are like best friends now! She has this amazing vitamin company and today we want to talk to you about this really important topic. We're teaching you how simple it can be to take preventative measures. Are you ready to tackle your health? Let's go.

They say there's two significant days in a person's life. The first day is when they're born. The second day it's when they find out why. I want you to find your purpose. But, what if you're not feeling the passion? What if you don't know what your purpose is? What if you're panicking about it? It feels like this world is super competitive now with social media and everything, right? We get the highlight reels of everybody's life and we're wondering, what about us? Am I going to be successful in life? Am I going to get to have a career? There's a proven principle that really works. Today, you're going to get to sit down with a person that you never thought you would get to sit down with—CJ Cook. He knows all the celebs. He knows all the things. He knows all the people. He's so cool. But you don't necessarily know him because he's the “behind the scenes” guy. Maybe he feels like there's no purpose in that. Maybe he feels like he's living his exact purpose. Actually he's living a really cool life and he's going to help you live yours, help you find your purpose amongst ALL the circumstances. Let's go!

Do you know that there is one thing that will solve every problem, no matter what your problem is? It's wisdom. It's refreshing when we have somebody who's been through what we're going through and they know the way out, and they can show us the path and they can tell us the potholes to miss. Well, I hope that you're ready today because we have a wise man with us - the one and only, John Maxwell. He's written 90 leadership books, sold over 37 million of them in 50 languages. He is the best-selling non-fiction author in the entire world. And he's also my leadership coach and my mentor. He literally drips wisdom and leadership knowledge through every single sentence. Are you ready to pick up some wisdom? Let's go!

 Do you want your life to matter? I do! I want people to remember me well! But how often are we intentional about the legacy that we're setting up for the next generation? We get so caught up in the moment and don't really think in the future. Today, we're going to talk about legacy. And to do that, my friend Shannon Nieman is here. Her mom went to heaven without a lot of notice. But her mom did such an amazing job at setting up legacy and no matter who you are, you can, too. We're going to talk about how legacy lives in you and through you, and what God wants to do in you. Are you ready to imprint your future? Let's go.

Is trying to get too much done at one time and running as fast as you can making you feel burned out. You're at the end of your rope, and you feel like you've taken on so much to even keep up. You think you have to take on more. How do you keep running at this pace? I've got a friend with me today, Josh Joines, who pastors a church in Baytown, Texas with unbelievable excellence. He and his wife, Kara, have one of the fastest growing churches in America. In a time when the whole church world is still recovering from COVID, their church grew almost 2000 people in just one year. Well, I'm glad that they could do that because they wouldn't have been able to do that if Josh hadn't learned to slow down, live in rhythms and not balance. Now, he coaches other people to establish healthy habits in their lives and in your life so that when we get through a rough patch because, when that happens, our rhythms sustain us through the difficult times. We're going to beat burnout together. Are you ready? Let's go.

When you hear the word treasure, what jumps up in your mind? Is it Jack Sparrow? He's swashbuckling across the Caribbean, searching for treasure, pulling out his sword on the Black Pearl. Maybe you've been searching for something. Maybe you feel like something's missing in your life. Community, people, meaningful relationships, maybe? I want to help you find that right now. Let's go!

We're doing something that has never, ever been done. For the first time in 100 years, we're going backstage at Miss America and sitting down to hear their stories. Including the ultimate winner, Miss Colorado, Madison Marsh!!! And what I found out about these girls is that they are deep wells. They aren't pretty faces with shallow insides. They are astrophysicists. They are people who have survived police brutality, losing their parents to cancer. So many different things.. poverty, drug addiction with their parents. You have no idea what these girls have gone through. And yet they're working on living their dream. I want you to be inspired to dream some more. I want you to be inspired to live your dreams. You might not make it the first time. But let your loss be your lesson and you try again! Maybe you can get up one more time and you can dream really big. Let's go!

Success is closer than we think. Learn how to focus your vision to achieve the dream.

Christmas can be the hardest time of the year for a lot of people. Life is changing. A transition is happening. You may or may not have the people in your life you thought would be here for the holiday, and it's one of the times when we really lose hope. My friend, Christy Wright, worked with Dave Ramsey for over 12 years. She flew all over America speaking in corporate environments. She's kind of a big deal. Then there was this shift in her life, this huge change in her career. Her son gets a diagnosis, and she went from being very hopeful to maybe feeling a little hopeless. So what do you do when hope is lost? Are you ready to go from hopeless to hopeful and start to hope again? Let's go!

Are you tired of just setting goals and ready to start getting your goals? Our footsteps are ordered by God but WE have to actually TAKE THE STEPS! I've got 5 steps to help you finally get what you want! Your wildest dreams are all within your reach! Get your mind set. Anything is possible! I want to reveal the recipe for the secret sauce that will take you from being a Goal Setter to an actual Goal Getter!

NO ONE gets married thinking they're going to get divorced, right? And man, divorce is just so hard! How are you going to ever heal up from the things that were said, and the ideas of the life that you thought you were going to have with that person? How can that ever be okay? Well, actually, I have a friend who's going to join me today, and we're going to talk really candidly about divorce because she walked through a really tough situation, a really bad divorce. And the question kind of was, can I ever be okay again after divorce? And believe it or not, you can not just be okay… You can be better. I know you might not think it's possible, but we're going to help you get there today and we're going to talk about how to be even better after divorce. Are you ready? Let's go.

Transition is hard!!! We transition from apartment to house, place to place, job to job, relationship to relationship from time to time through traffic. I mean, transition is just everywhere. Have you ever been in the middle of something? God sees you in the middle. He has a plan, and even though you can't see it, He saw it before you were even born. So don't sweat it, okay? You're going to be okay. You're not where you want to be. But we're not where we used to be. Our footsteps are ordered by the Lord, so just keep stepping. He's going to guide you to exactly where you're supposed to be. Are you ready? We're taking you through the pain to the promise in a real, raw and organic way with my friend, Delynn Rizzo this week. Let's go!

Do you feel like you're on the verge of losing your relationship with your child? Maybe they've already walked away and they're out doing who knows what you are the one out doing who knows what with God knows who. And that's okay. I've been you. I'm not here to tell you that parenting is hard forever. Parenting is the most rewarding thing you will ever do. It is the hardest thing you will ever do. The second hardest thing is being a kid, right? I want to let you know that you're going to make it through this. I'm having a conversation today with my friend, Farrah Taylor. Her daughter, Alex, is gorgeous. Stunning. Beautiful! For some reason, she walked away from everything her parents had taught her, and her parents had to watch her walk through some really dark days, some depression, some drugs, and some abusive relationships. How do you navigate those kinds of waters with your children? How do you ever get back if you're one of those kids? That's what we're going to talk about today. Are you ready? Let's go.

In one second God can shift you from waiting on it to living in it. I know there's so many moments you want in life that you're waiting for, right? But it seems like everybody else is getting what you want. It feels like everybody else is getting married and you're still single. Everybody else is having babies and you're still trying. Everybody else is getting promoted and you're being overlooked. Everybody else is getting likes and comments and social status on social media. When is it your turn? I have my friends with me today, Joe L Barnes. He's a Grammy winner. He's from Mav City. He's written all the songs and it seems like it just came quickly. It just came easy. Right place, right time. Right? No, he was actually living with some friends, and they were getting the opportunities. They were getting the song rights. They were getting invited on albums, they were getting on tours. And he was waiting. But it was so worth the wait. I believe God connected us today because He's wanting you to know it's worth the wait. Are you ready? Let's go.

Have you ever wanted to quit? Well, my friend, you are not alone. I think we all have at one time or another. But what can we do to develop the grit not to quit when things get hard. What about when we're serving someone else's vision while we have a dream in our heart and it just doesn't seem to be within reach? What do you do when you feel like quitting then? My friend, Bianca Olthoff, is with me this week. She is an influencer. She is a bestselling author. She has a podcast and gets like all the good people on her podcast. I don't know how she does this! She is a pastor. She is an international conference speaker, and she is here to share her story of how she developed the grit not to quit when things seem to get tough and her dreams still seemed far, far away. If you've ever been frustrated with the journey of getting to where you want to be, I bet you'll be surprised with where we're going today, although I think it will surprise you. Let's go!

Starting something new is really hard!!! Especially when you have to begin AGAIN, it's just like, UGH! But sometimes beginning again is really worth it. You need to hear from my friend, Tauren Wells. He can dance like Justin Timberlake. He can sing like Bruno Mars. He's a little bit of Michael Jackson, and he loves Jesus with all of his heart. And you'd think with all this stuff that he's already accomplished, like, why would he start something new and mortgage it all and put it on the line? But he is! He and his wife are leaving Houston and Lakewood Church, and they're planning their own church in Austin, Texas. If Tauren can begin again, if I can walk through divorce, if I can walk through being a pregnant, unwed mother, then you can begin again, too. You're going to rise!!!

What if I told you that I could show you the way to the fountain of youth? But more than looking young, it's feeling young, feeling energetic, not hurting, and having the energy and the life and the vitality to do all the things you've always wanted to do. My friend, Dr. James Meehan, helps us get to the root cause of what's going on in our bodies so we can heal it the most natural way that we can. God is a natural God and He uses medicine, I'm not against medicine at all. Use it if you need it. But if it's not curing what you've got, maybe God's got something else that He has to help you. If you're ready to feel better, look better, have more energy and you want to know what is with this hormone thing, you're in the right place. Let's go!

We're going behind the scenes for a chat with the Broadway cast and crew of WICKED for the Season 10 Premier of The Nicole Crank Show!!! It's incredible how often it's just in us to look at other people and decide they are bad, nasty, or a worse sinner than us… that they are WICKED. But we… are popular. We'll just about pay any price to win people's approval but often don't what's right for others. So we're doing the coolest thing. We're sitting down with the cast and the crew to talk about it and get a glimpse of what it's like to be a part of a story so WICKED! I can't wait for you to meet my new friends. Grab a coffee, get comfy and let's go!

We're called to have an abundant life. Pastor Nicole teaches us how to call in our healing. Don't let the devil tell you that you aren't qualified for healing. God doesn't heal us because we're good, He heals because He's good. Know your rights. Speak God's promises! We serve a God who heals!

Are you going to let the pain keep you from what you really want? Pastor Nicole reminds us, that sometimes, "Pain can be good for you." God's promise is definitely worth the pain.

Labels do NOT determine the content. Stop listening to the labels and what "they" say about you and start being the person God called you to be. After all, you believe what you say about more than what they do. So, start speaking love and joy into your life. Your future is in your own mouth. What are you saying about yourself?

Are you stuck wondering what to do even though God has told you what you're supposed to do? Overthinking and fear only seek to keep you from the greatest things you are meant to do, achieve and see. Sometimes, you just have to listen to the Expert, prepare, and obey.

Have you ever said that when the situation got worse? When the problem seemed bigger than you could handle? Pastor Nicole Crank leads us on an investigation to find the invisible hand of God. Let's search together and find proof of how big our God really is!

Is there something in your life that you feel uncomfortable about but deep down you know you have to take a step of faith to move forward to the next level with God? This is for you.

How would you like to access more POWER and be effective in everything you do? Power positions, power relationships, and powerful lives may not be what you think. Pastor Nicole Crank shows us how to live a truly powerful life by, first, taking our POSITION. So many times, we think we know what that is. But, the truth may surprise you! Learn the secrets that will propel you into a powerful purpose-filled life!

Do you feel like you've MISSED something? Lost something? Had something stolen from you? Have you wasted a great opportunity? When you think you've hit ROCK BOTTOM, God has a gift for you. He's going to give you another chance to GO BACK and pick it up. But, God will only give you as much REVELATION as you seek out.
