In this deeply honest and reflective episode of the Reason to Behold podcast, Arnold opens up a powerful and necessary conversation around money, belief, and the Kingdom.

Whether you're a believer navigating money with guilt, wrestling with prosperity theology, or trying to break free from cycles of financial frustration, this episode is a must-listen. It's not about hype or prosperity clichés—this is about truth, alignment, and setting a solid Kingdom foundation for your financial life.

In this deeply reflective solo episode of the Reason to Behold podcast, Arnold unpacks the provocative statement: “The outcome you are seeking is on the other side of the death you're refusing to die.” Drawing from personal experience and biblical truths, he explores the powerful connection between sacrifice, spiritual surrender, and tangible results in different areas of life — from faith and business to relationships, career, and health. If you've ever felt stuck despite your efforts, this episode will challenge and encourage you to take stock of the real cost of the goals you desire — and to ask whether you're truly willing to pay it. Key Discussion Points 00:00 – Opening Thought: The Death We Refuse to Die Arnold opens the episode with the compelling idea that progress is often blocked by the sacrifices we avoid making. 01:16 – The Gospel Blueprint: Salvation Required a Price He draws parallels between Christ's death and the need for believers to die to pride and self-reliance in order to receive eternal life. 03:16 – Count the Cost: Biblical & Practical Wisdom Arnold highlights scriptures where Jesus teaches the importance of understanding what it takes to finish what we start. 04:23 – Misjudging the Real Cost of Our Goals From promotions to marriage to entrepreneurship, Arnold explains how we often underestimate the price of our ambitions. 06:30 – Taking Stock: Are You on the Right Track? Arnold challenges listeners to honestly evaluate whether their current efforts align with their desired outcomes. 08:42 – Health, Fitness, and Long-Term Commitment A personal reflection on a decade-long fitness journey reveals the need for perseverance, review, and realignment. 10:50 – Walking with God Through Adjustments He speaks to the power of humility and the role of divine partnership in making course corrections. 12:23 – Following Jesus Comes with Ongoing Costs Arnold unpacks the less-discussed sacrifices involved in Christian discipleship after the initial decision to follow Jesus. 14:00 – The Price of Persistence in Any Worthy Pursuit Whether spiritual, personal, or professional, lasting progress demands consistent commitment and reevaluation. 15:18 – Final Thought: Is the Goal Still Worth It? Arnold closes with a sobering but freeing question — are you still convinced your goal is worth the price? Highlights From The Episode "The redeemed life was not free. Jesus paid the price." “Sometimes the issue isn't effort, it's direction.” “We only accounted for 10% of the cost… the rest we discover as we go.” “Every good goal comes with both an upfront and ongoing cost.” “Humility is required not only to start, but to continue.” Practical Steps You Can Take Evaluate Your Goals: What are you hoping to achieve? What have you assumed it will cost, and have you been willing to pay that price? Track Your Inputs and Results: Like in business or fitness, regularly review what you're doing versus what results you're seeing. Ask God for Direction: Pray for discernment on whether to continue, pivot, or completely shift course in any area. Stay Humble and Teachable: Be willing to admit when your understanding of the journey needs adjusting. Recommit if Necessary: If the goal is still worth it, dig deeper, count the full cost, and re-engage with new resolve.

In this inspiring and practical episode of the Reason to Behold podcast, Tolu and Arnold dive into the power of dreaming—and why it's something we often neglect as adults. From childhood imagination to God-given creative capacity, they unpack how dreaming, visualising and imagining are deeply spiritual tools that can shape our lives when used intentionally. If you've been stuck focusing more on your fears than your faith, this episode will reignite your God-given ability to see before you see it. Key Discussion Points 00:01 – Introduction: “The dream is free” Arnold kicks off with a reflection on dreaming as a divine gift from God and how adults tend to lose touch with their imagination over time. 01:05 – Childhood Imagination & Belief Formation Arnold shares how childhood shows like Dragon Ball Z sparked a powerful sense of belief through imagination. 03:20 – Dreaming Intentionally vs Dwelling on Nightmares Tolu challenges listeners to shift focus from fear-based thinking to faith-fuelled dreaming. 04:57 – The Superhomes Analogy: “If he can, why not me?” Tolu breaks down how watching ambitious property shows sparked new levels of vision and challenged limiting beliefs. 05:23 – Creating Order from Chaos Like Our Creator Arnold takes us to Genesis, showing how God saw the void and imagined light—reminding us that dreaming starts in darkness. 07:08 – Seeing Opportunity in Chaos From workplace gripes to life's chaos, they talk about shifting perspective to see divine opportunities in disorder. 12:25 – Knowing When to Pray and When to Speak Tolu and Arnold explore the difference between asking God and using the dominion He's already given us to act. 14:04 – Faith Needs Action: God Partners With Us They stress that while God can work miracles, He often invites us to take action—just like walking around Jericho or slinging a stone like David. 15:40 – Childlike Faith & Imperfect Journeys Arnold reflects on how faith isn't always tidy or clear, but God honours the courage to believe like a child. 20:26 – Final Encouragement: Dream on Purpose The episode ends with a reminder that dreaming costs nothing—but not dreaming may cost you everything God had in store. Highlights From The Episode “We don't focus on the dream—we focus on the nightmare.” “Faith doesn't cost money, but it will cost you your fears.” “God saw the void and said, ‘Let there be light'—He imagined order in the midst of chaos.” “Sometimes you pray, sometimes you say, sometimes you just need to jump.” “Faith isn't always neat, but God delights in it all the same.” Practical Steps You Can Take Set daily ‘dream time' – Try scheduling 5–10 minutes to just imagine possibilities, without limitations. Speak order over chaos – Wherever you see confusion, ask God for vision and declare His truth. Ask for discernment – Is this a situation to pray through, or to speak into with authority? Write down your dreams – Make them visible. Habakkuk 2:2 reminds us to write the vision and make it plain. Challenge limiting beliefs – When doubt creeps in, replace it with “Why not me?” Relevant Themes Covered Dreaming with God Faith and Imagination Biblical dominion and authority Creating with words Childlike belief Vision and purpose Fear vs Faith Connect with RTB For podcast updates, exclusive daily devotional emails and more, join the RTB community!

From shifting your mindset to activating biblical principles, this episode is packed with wisdom to help you move from believing to building. If you've ever wondered how to bridge the gap between your current reality and your God-given promise, this one's for you.

Highlights From The Episode “If you actually believed you were favoured by God, you'd probably try more things than you currently do.” “But when he came to himself…” — sometimes the breakthrough begins with remembering who you are. “The enemy attacks our ‘who-ness' to keep us stuck.” “Joshua 1:8 doesn't say God will make your way prosperous—it says you will.” “Even people without faith can prosper through faith principles.” “David's excellence on the harp positioned him before the king—don't despise your gift.” Practical Steps You Can Take Start acting like who God says you are.

In this thought-provoking episode of the Reason to Behold podcast, Arnold and Tolu dive deep into the theme of seeing it before you see it — cultivating faith and vision before your physical circumstances align with your dreams.

Faith Over Disappointment: Adjust your expectations to hope in God rather than man, avoiding the emotional pitfalls of misplaced trust. Creating Your Own Opportunities: When doors close, believers can create paths forward, powered by faith and God's divine favour. Dreaming From the Mud: Whether due to personal mistakes or life's hardships, it's possible to envision and move toward a better future even from rock bottom.

Practical Steps You Can Take Anchor your expectations in God: Shift your hope from people to the One who truly holds your future. Respond, don't react: Whether underestimated or overlooked, stay focused on what God has promised, not what others say. Start visualising or believing actively: Whether you're highly visual or not, actively engage your imagination or convictions about what God has for you. Create and move towards your opportunities: Don't wait for validation or an open door from others — take action in faith, knowing God backs your steps. Trust the process: Understand that the journey to your "throne" may include detours, delays, and developmental seasons — stay committed.

In this deeply personal and reflective episode of the Reason to Behold podcast, Arnold and Tolu have an honest conversation about one of the most overlooked aspects of spiritual and emotional growth — forgiving yourself. While we often hear messages about forgiving others, what about the grace we extend to ourselves when we mess up, fall short, or cause damage along the way? From high performance mindsets to the lessons learned through failure, this episode unpacks the importance of accepting God's grace and moving forward with a healthy, gospel-centred view of progress. Whether you've recently dropped the ball or you're still holding onto past regrets, this one is a much-needed reminder that your story isn't over. Key Discussion Points 00:01 – Opening Thoughts: Do We Forgive Ourselves Enough? Arnold opens the episode by asking a powerful question: how often do we actually talk about forgiving ourselves? 01:35 – The High Performance Trap & Internal Criticism Why pursuing excellence can often come with hypercritical self-talk — and how to navigate that without losing your identity. 02:41 – Mistakes Made in Pursuit of Success Tolu reflects on what it really means to strive for greatness without compromising character. 05:37 – The Power of Moving On Tolu shares his mindset on how he handles failure — "once it's done, it's done" — and the freedom that comes with that approach. 06:58 – What Does Self-Forgiveness Really Look Like? The way you frame yourself or others in your mind is often a window into whether true forgiveness has taken place. 09:04 – Learning Through Life and Business Mistakes Arnold shares a vulnerable moment reflecting on past business decisions and what helped him find peace through the journey. 12:46 – Understanding the Gospel is Key Self-forgiveness becomes possible when you understand grace — that we're saved not by works but by faith through God's gift. 14:16 – Seeing Growth Through the Eyes of a Parent Arnold uses the example of watching his daughter learn to walk to explain God's perspective on our imperfections. 17:13 – The “Next Play” Mentality Tolu introduces a mindset from basketball: instead of dwelling on one bad play, focus on what you can do next. 19:17 – There's Power in the Comeback Great stories often come from great mistakes. Don't rob God of glory by staying stuck in shame — your comeback is part of the testimony. Highlights From The Episode “Sometimes we need to forgive ourselves like God already has.” “You're going to make mistakes — but the key is what you do next.” “Understanding the gospel is fundamental to letting go of guilt and shame.” “The world may remember your mistakes, but God writes the final chapter.” Practical Steps You Can Take Pause and reflect on what you're still holding against yourself — is it something you've repented for, but still replay? Speak truth to yourself using scripture like Romans 8:1 — “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” Adopt the “next play” mentality — take your lessons, make it right where possible, and move forward. Celebrate growth the same way a parent would celebrate a child's first steps — messy but meaningful. Remember: your mess is a message — don't let shame silence the story God wants to tell through you.

In this deeply reflective solo episode of the Reason to Behold Podcast, Arnold delivers a powerful wake-up call for believers navigating today's challenging times. With the cost of living rising, societal pressures mounting, and uncertainty lurking around every corner, it's easy to feel overwhelmed and adopt a mindset of victimhood. But Arnold challenges us to shift our focus—from the externals we can't control to the internal disciplines that build spiritual confidence and resilience. Using scriptural examples like David, Moses, and Daniel, this episode calls us back to a mindset rooted in faith, responsibility, and victory. Key Discussion Points 00:01 – Stop Staring, Start Solving Arnold sets the tone by urging listeners to stop blaming external circumstances and start seeking God-centred solutions. 01:00 – Navigating Financial Pressures A candid look at the current economic climate in the UK and how it's impacting our daily lives, regardless of income level. 02:30 – Wrestling with Wealth as a Believer Arnold shares personal reflections on internal conflicts about money, prosperity, and guilt rooted in misinterpreted teachings. 04:30 – Victimhood vs Responsibility Exploring how we fall into victim mindsets when we acknowledge real challenges but take no steps forward. 06:40 – Scripture as a Solution Strategy An introduction to key biblical figures who overcame impossible odds through faith, courage, and spiritual focus. 08:50 – David & Goliath: A Spiritual Perspective Breaking down David's confidence in God and how spiritual mindset, not human strength, leads to victory. 12:30 – Confidence, Sin & Consistency How daily disciplines and choices affect our confidence, especially when facing major life “Goliaths”. 17:10 – The Danger of Comfort & Complacency Arnold highlights how easing up in peaceful seasons can lead to spiritual unpreparedness for life's battles. 22:30 – Moses & Pharaoh: Confidence Amid Inadequacy Looking at Moses' doubts and how God's assurance was his source of strength, not his own capabilities. 27:30 – Daniel in the Lions' Den: Devotion Despite Danger Daniel's faithfulness in the face of death and how God's protection followed his continued devotion. 33:00 – Faith in Every Season Encouragement that following Christ is a full-time calling—not just for when life is easy or hard. 35:50 – Rebuilding Lost Confidence Practical and spiritual encouragement for those who feel disqualified, guilty, or disconnected from God. Highlights From The Episode “Victimhood begins when we observe real challenges and take no action to overcome them.” “Your disciplines don't make you righteous, but they help you keep the door shut to the enemy.” “David didn't beat Goliath with physical strength—he won with spiritual confidence.” “In seasons of ease, we must not compromise on spiritual disciplines.” “Confession isn't just about sin; it's about inviting God into our truth so He can help us.” Practical Steps You Can Take Reflect on areas where you may have adopted a victim mindset. Confess feelings of inadequacy or guilt to God rather than internalising them. Reinstate or reinforce spiritual disciplines like reading Scripture and prayer—even during ‘easy' seasons. Remember that your confidence comes from your connection to God, not your performance. Revisit biblical stories to reframe how you view and respond to your own “Goliaths”.

In this episode of the Reason to Behold Podcast, Arnold and Tolu explore the powerful concept of walking by faith, especially in moments that challenge your comfort zone and reputation. They dive deep into the idea that true faith often requires stepping into spaces where we feel underqualified, uncomfortable, or even out of place.

Faith as a tool for growth: Stepping into uncomfortable spaces can open doors and reveal opportunities that wouldn't be accessible otherwise. Growth happens when we rely on God, despite our feelings of inadequacy or discomfort.

Embracing discomfort for future success: Both Arnold and Tolu share personal stories of pushing through uncomfortable situations (like Arnold's TEDx talk) and how these experiences have been pivotal in their journeys.

In this episode of the Reason to Behold Podcast, Tolu and Arnold dive into the age-old debate: Is it more important to know the right people or to know the right things? This thought-provoking discussion explores the nuances of relationships, competence, faith, and how they all interplay in real-world success. Whether you're someone navigating career decisions, seeking opportunities, or reflecting on your personal growth, this episode is packed with valuable insights. Key Discussion Points 00:00 – Opening: Setting the stage for the debate. 01:30 – Arnold's conversation with a materially successful individual and how relationships shaped their journey. 02:15 – The tension between relationships (who you know) and skills (what you know). 03:12 – Real-world examples: When relationships trump skills in opening doors. 06:30 – Does substance eventually surpass relationships in value? Arnold shares his perspective. 08:45 – The importance of knowing the right stuff and how it leads to relationships. 10:20 – Exploring real-world examples: NBA players, government connections, and loyalty to relationships. 13:25 – Toxic relationships: The cost of enduring them and how they can dull your potential. 15:35 – Iron sharpens iron: Why the right relationships sharpen rather than dull you. 17:00 – Leveraging faith: Knowing God as the ultimate relationship and source of wisdom. 20:15 – Practical advice: Balancing relationship building with developing competence. 22:00 – Why your network often determines the opportunities you receive. 28:30 – The importance of emotional intelligence and self-awareness in maintaining valuable relationships. 36:30 – Key takeaways: Be faithful with what you know while building meaningful connections. Highlights & Reflections "Who you know gets you the opportunity, but what you know helps you keep it." Arnold and Tolu discuss how both sides of the equation play critical roles in long-term success. "Be competent in all things." Tolu emphasises the importance of substance and value while investing in relationships that matter. "Faith without works is dead." The conversation ties back to scripture, encouraging believers to excel in their fields while trusting God for guidance. "Iron sharpens iron."

Show Notes: Do You Have Friends Who Can Wound You?

We're just ordinary people who've encountered an extraordinary God (the one true God!). From time to time, we have some really cool conversations. So we decided to switch on some mics and make a podcast out of it! Unashamedly Christian, unapologetically unscripted (most times!). And we're intentional about making Christian concepts both practical and visible in the life of the disciple. Our podcast isn't intended to be a teaching platform. Instead, it's a public dialogue designed to cause us (the hosts) and you (the listener) to be provoked with godly thoughts and inspired to walk closer with God. And also, to gain a practical perspective of the Christian faith lived out! Thanks for taking the time to check out this episode! We love to hear your voice in our convos, so do drop a comment to share your thoughts. If it helped you, then please share it with others too
