“Send Coach John a message”I found a totally amazing post from liminal (@Liminal1988) where this thought kicked the whole thing off:  “Energy is the most attractive thing a person can have.”  This got me thinking about some things when I reposted it:  Coach John Daly (@coachtosuccess) “Another amazing reminder that helps me to see myself being a better person… great timing on this one! Yes, once again… the world needs more people that have “good” energy!”  This was a fabulous reminder for me to keep working on ME and realizing that things will be better for me in my future - yes, even the tough moments will be a little better, since I kept working on improving myself! Same goes for you too my friends!  Here is the post for you to have as well:  “Energy is the most attractive thing a person can have. The way someone walks into a room and makes it feel different. The way their curiosity pulls you in and their enthusiasm reminds you that life is worth being excited about. And the way they make people feel seen, appreciated and inspired. That kind of energy is magnetic. People are drawn towards energy that feels expansive because energy is contagious. One negative person can drain an entire room. But one genuinely energized person can lift it too. Truth is: your energy introduces you long before you speak a single word. This is why your presence can become a superpower. And the energy you project into the world is simply a mirror of the work you have done within yourself.” ~ @SimonAlexanderO   Keep working on yourself my friends.  Being our best is not by chance. It is our habits that build us up or they help keep us down. The world needs more people taking this to heart and look to encourage others to do the same.   Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

Real character steps up when the applause fades and the room goes quiet. If God has handed you a vision, you don't need a panel of cheerleaders to get moving. Stand your ground, don't squeeze yourself into anyone's comfort zone, and keep your eyes fixed on where God is taking you.#Faith #ChristianMotivation #StandFirm #Romans831 #Purpose #InnerStrength #GodsPlan

Ultra TDS-Truth Derangement SyndromeMK Ultra mind control was unleashed on the global population 2016 whensheer numbers of us overrode rigged algorithms in electronic votingmachines to elect anyone who was not Hillary Clinton and her New WorldOrder.Media failed to show the Great Awakening had reached critical massbecause they were too busy spinning polls for Hillary's planned win.A global union of intelligence operatives concerned with preserving thesanctity of humanity's free thought, of which Mark Phillips was part, hadlong since determined that a change of government would be short livedunless the people woke up. So when vast numbers of awake and awarepeople became the change in 2016, it signaled a global movement to startdismantling the New World Order.The world rejoiced as the Washington DC human trafficking swamp wasexposed and its funding mechanism of drug and human trafficking acrossopen borders stifled.Who remembers Hillary Clinton's face when she lost the election? Iremember it as well as I remember the torturous MK Ultra abuses shesubjected me to along with her child sex trafficking/harvesting ops becauseseeing her defeat felt like justice was finally being served. To me, theultimate justice is positive change through public awareness and the GreatAwakening began accelerating so fast Hillary and her cohorts becamefrantic.Character assassination of the people's choice for President throughperpeTraitors' controlled media voice would undermind confidence, createdivision, and slow the dismantling of New World Order while shifting it toAgenda 2030.Repetition is the most basic form of mind control. How many times did youhear the media say “Impeach”? While the conscious mind is frozen in frightor fear, the subconscious is easily programmed with repetitive medianarrative. Since the subconscious drives conscious thought and ultimatelyactions, we need to understand our own mind brain function in order tosafeguard our free thought!2020 perpeTraitors went all in with mind control masked as a virus whileelections were blatantly stolen In front of all of us. How many times did youhear “mask up” “social distance” “get the injection” while your consciousmind was distracted by images of tickertapes of death numbers or violenceagainst MAGA supporters and burning of their livelihoods the media termed‘peaceful demonstrations'.People providing evidence that elections were stolen were arrested andslandered by the media, while perpeTraitors who stole elections re-openedborders to their funding mechanism of drug and human trafficking.Remember the memes of Epstein with an “I voted” sticker despite his being‘suicided'? Remember when Epstein and Fauci were deemed criminalsbefore media twisted focus and blame away from them?TDS had undermind people's subconscious so effectively that all it takes ismedia's repetitive narrative to point the finger away from perpeTraitors andtruth. This is exactly what global perpeTraitors need to keep their NewWorld Order from unraveling. Once the human mind falls prey to MK Ultrameans, suggestibility stays heightened and subconscious program feedsthoughts and actions.Remember how unmasked free thinkers tried to tell fearful programmedpeople to take off their masks or not get the jab? They could not hear pastprogram screaming in their ears regardless of how loud logic was shared.Our subconscious has no capacity for logic, reason, question, or criticalanalysis of information without a conscious mind filter. Trauma and fearare the basis of mind control because it renders our subconscious wideopen to manipulation through repetitive narrative or the language of thesubconscious NLP neuro linguistic programing.Once the subconscious is bared, it will take in any information as fact-likeviolence in our streets was peaceful demnstrations. In today'skaleidoscope of change, this creates confusion and lack of discernment oftruth. The most powerful form of MK Ultra mind control I have ever seenunleashed on the global population is not mind control masked as a virus.Mistakes were made with sheltering at home that ultimately woke up morepeople.The most damaging mass mind control I have seen in my lifetime is TDS.Truth Derangement Syndrome. Because if you know the truth, you will stopcomplying with a slave society agenda intended to undermind our humanityto align us with DARPA generated AI. PerpeTraitors, their New World OrderAgenda 2030, their funding mechanism of child sex trafficking that hasbecome one of the most lucrative businesses on the planet and likely all ofhuman history, and their means of creating compliance through MK Ultramind control all dissipate in light of Truth. Truth really does make us free.Our current duly elected President, like John F. Kennedy, purposefullyexposed the CIA, its shadowy Deep State, and its dark MK Ultra mindcontrol agenda. One President was assassinated for it on national tv whilethe other was assassinated in character by repetitive media narrative. Youwitnessed it. Now consciously deprogram the trauma because both formsof assassination have given perpeTraitors control over the minds of thepeople as planned.Use pen and paper to write out your fear, trauma, hate, rage or whateverinhibits your ability to think beyond what you are told. Deprogram yourimposed TDS, expand your perceptions and think free.

“Send Coach John a message”Another great post came across my “news wire” this morning and it came from Drew Maddux (@DrewMaddux) “WAKE UP!  If your vision for your life doesn't include impacting the lives of others then you should create a bigger, bolder vision.” Amazingly true and powerful to let this come into our hearts.” ~ Jon Gordon (@jongordon11)  There is another piece to this that said:  “Purpose is an incredible alarm clock!”  LOVE THIS!  This doesn't need an age either to connect with it.  The sooner the better is probably a good thing to connect with this, but wow… think how powerful a purpose / calling / Burn, can be in our lives!!  It will help fire us up and get going to do the things we need to do!!

LJ Mitchell has spent a decade as the music director of Elevation Worship, and he joins me for a conversation that begins with performed faith and refuses to stay on the surface. Because the reason we broadcast the walk is the same reason we cannot put down the role: we have confused what we do with who we are, and we are frightened of who we would be without the applause. We talk about releasing what you're known for, the hidden work of formation that no one claps for, and the wilderness that excavates the false scaffolding out of you. LJ is not saying this from a safe distance; he is telling you what it cost him to loosen his grip while he was still holding the thing.

Technology, Aaron Cline Hanbury suggests, is never a purely neutral tool. But the history of ethical thinking about technology shows that as long as there's been technology, there's been anxiety about it. Or perhaps more accurately, anxiety about what we might do with it. And increasingly, what it might do to us.A journalist, founding editor of Common Good magazine, and author of Wired for Wonder, Hanbury came of age as the internet entered the home and has spent his career reporting from the places where technology, faith, and everyday life collide. Rather than offering another list of screen-time tips, he asks a deeper question: How do we relate to the things we make?In this conversation with Evan Rosa, Hanbury wrestles with what it means to be human when the machines we've made can do more and more. He criticizes the seduction that we should embrace technology simply because it is inevitable. He explores how connection, efficiency, and unrestrained technological freedom quietly became unquestioned goods, why our powers of attention are eroding in real time, and wonders what it might take—personally, communally, and structurally—to reclaim our humanity through presence, and the rough ground of embodied life.About Aaron Cline HanburyAaron Cline Hanbury is a writer and editor whose essays and profiles have appeared in The Atlantic and elsewhere. He is the founding editor of the award-winning magazine Common Good and a past editor of RELEVANT. He writes about the places where technology, faith, and ordinary life meet. His book, Wired for Wonder: Dispatches on Technology, Culture, God, and Self, breaks open the tired binary between tech optimists and Luddites in the context of memoir, ethics, journalism, and theology.Helpful Links and ResourcesWired for Wonder: Dispatches on Technology, Culture, God, and Self, by Aaron Cline Hanbury: https://www.broadleafbooks.com/store/product/9798889833451/Wired-for-WonderAaron Cline Hanbury's website: https://aaronclinehanbury.com/Aaron Cline Hanbury's Substack: https://aaronclinehanbury.substack.comAaron Cline Hanbury on X: https://x.com/achanburyCommon Good magazine: https://commongoodmag.com/author/aaron-cline-hanbury/Technology and the Character of Contemporary Life, Albert Borgmann: https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/T/bo23186480.htmlThe Anxious Generation, Jonathan Haidt: https://www.anxiousgeneration.com/bookHannah Coulter, Wendell Berry's novel: https://www.counterpointpress.com/books/hannah-coulter/Show NotesAnxiety and technologyPatient zero for life online—coming of age as the internet entered the homeLow-church tradition, quick to adopt and ask questions laterJournalism as a front-row seat to three decades of changeEarly adopter or Luddite?

What is an Impact Character, and how can this supporting character help you show a believable character arc instead of simply telling readers your protagonist has changed? Character arcs are largely internal, which creates an obvious challenge for writers: how do you dramatize a changing worldview on the page? One of the most effective techniques is to use relationships. In a Positive Change Arc, the Impact Character represents or embodies something that challenges the Lie the Character Believes, giving the protagonist another person—and another worldview—to resist, admire, argue with, or eventually learn from. In this episode, I explore how Impact Characters catalyze change, how they differ from antagonists, and why they don'talways have to be mentors. We'll look at examples of antagonists, love interests, sidekicks, and other supporting characters who can fulfill this role, as well as the possibility of "negative" Impact Characters who reinforce the Lie rather than the thematic Truth. We'll also look at the relationship between Impact Characters and Flat Arcs. Although a positive Impact Character often functions similarly to a Flat Arc character by representing a comparatively expanded Truth, the role itself can be much smaller, shared among several characters, or even expressed symbolically. Ultimately, the Impact Character offers writers a practical way to make inner transformation visible. Instead of merely telling readers the protagonist's beliefs are changing, you can dramatize that change through the friction, influence, and relationships surrounding them. In this post/podcast: • What an Impact Character is • How Impact Characters help dramatize character arcs • Impact Character vs. antagonist • How supporting characters challenge the Lie the Character Believes • Examples of 8 different types of Impact Characters • How negative Impact Characters reinforce the Lie • The relationship between Impact Characters and Flat Arcs Read the full transcript: https://www.helpingwritersbecomeauthors.com/impact-character WANT MORE? LIVE CLASS: Flat Character Arcs: From Transformation to Integration September 22, 2026, at 1 p.m. EDT (replay available afterward) Flat Arcs are often described simply as character arcs in which the protagonist "doesn't change." But there is much more going on beneath the surface. In this live class, I'll be exploring Flat Arcs as stories of integration, influence, and service to the collective.

Suffering is unavoidable, but it does not have to be wasted. In this episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Nick Surface and Garrett Unclebach sit down with Dr. Robi Sonderegger to talk about one of the most uncomfortable and necessary parts of the Christian life. Whether it comes through persecution, hardship, loss, discipline, pressure, or pain, suffering reveals what a man believes, what he is living for, and whether his hope is rooted in circumstances or in Jesus.This conversation challenges the comfortable, idealistic view many men have of growth, purpose, and faith. Dr. Robi explains that suffering can either become a prison or a catapult. It can make a man bitter, angry, and trapped in what happened to him, or it can humble him, soften him, and make him moldable again. The difference is meaning. When a man has purpose, suffering becomes something he can move through instead of something he spends his life avoiding. Without purpose, even small discomforts feel like threats; with purpose, pain can become the pressure that builds strength.Biblical masculinity is not about pretending suffering does not hurt. It is about refusing to let suffering become the loudest voice in your life. Jesus suffered with purpose, and men who follow Him are called to take up responsibility, choose hard things, and allow God to use pressure to form character. This episode is a call to stop running from every discomfort, stop confusing comfort with freedom, and begin asking what God wants to build in you through what you are walking through.Check out VITL Peptides by clicking hereJoin a group of likeminded Impossible Life listeners in our FREE Skool community by clicking here.Get the Purpose Playbook by clicking hereGet the FREE Basic Discipline Training 30 Day Program by clicking hereJoin us in Mindset Mastery by clicking hereLevel up your nutrition with IDLife by clicking hereGET IN TOUCHSocial Media - @theimpossiblelifeEmail - info@theimpossible.life

“Send Coach John a message”Found an amazing post from Greg Berge (@GregBerge): “The 80-8 Rule is one of my favorites.  Only two people you really need to impress:  • The 8-year-old version of you and • The 80-year-old version of you.  Keep the joy. Live with no regrets.”  This made so much sense to me.  The 8 year old me is in the past and it's really a general spot in most people's life where we have good memories from.  I look back to my 8 year old self a lot and I am still working hard to make that little guy proud of who I have become.   My 80 year old self is still in the future, and it's not that far in the future too.  That is someone who I want to make sure I do things today so that when that 80 year old me shows up (and hopefully he will), he will look back with great gratitude as to what I did today (and every day) in order to be my best!!  How do you connect to these two versions of you??  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

“Send Coach John a message”I found a great connection from Roy T. Bennett (@InspiringThinkn) where this gem was shared:  “Value yourself enough to let go of what no longer enriches your life or brings you peace.” ~Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart.  Amazing connections here for me and hopefully you too.  Our world today has so many things that really do not enrich our lives and certainly don't bring us peace.  The key is to filter through all the items that get in the way and filter those out and replace them with things that build up our peace and joy.  Those things that enhance our purpose in life are what we need to connect with.  It's amazing when we connect with this thought and start putting in the effort to make things better for ourselves.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

Ever get some good advice? There are times in our lives at crucial moments when God sends a person to speak with clarity and conviction. The number 5 is a helpful way to learn from what God said through Elihu. Five reasons to receive Elihu's rebuke. 1. The Arrangement of His Words   He's last  2. The Amount of His Words  3. The Absence of Job's Words  - Job offers no response or argument to Elihu. 4. The Absence of God's Words  - God offers no rebuke to Elihu. 5. The Awareness of His Words  Five reasons to remember Elihu's rebuke Elihu tells Job to... 1. Remember God's Centrality v.32:2, 33:8-12 - Job was making this about him but it is really about God! 2. Remember God's Communication v.33:14-33 -God is always speaking! 3. Remember God's Character v.34:10-12 -God is and always has been just! 4. Remember God's Correction v.36:5-16 -  God is always doing something with suffering! 5. Remember God's Complete Control v.36:24-33, 37:14-24 - Knowing Him is enough.

Keith shares about the Institute's core value of Character and what we learn from the life of Daniel in standing firm in our convictions.

What does it mean to truly live as a child of God? In Romans 8:14–17, Paul points us to the work of the Holy Spirit, who assures believers that they have been adopted into the family of God. Those who belong to Christ are no longer slaves living in fear, but sons and daughters who can confidently cry out, “Abba! Father!” We have been given a new relationship with God, a new identity, and the promise of an inheritance that is secure in Christ.The Spirit's work in our lives gives us assurance of our adoption as He leads us to put sin to death, frees us from the fear of condemnation, draws us into intimate fellowship with our Father, and gives us confidence in the glory that is still to come. Our hope is not wishful thinking, but a settled certainty rooted in the promises and character of God.In this sermon, we'll see how the Holy Spirit leads the children of God: 1. Into Holiness — the Character of Sonship 2. Into Freedom — the Confidence of Sonship 3. Into Intimacy — the Communion of Sonship 4. Into Hope — the Certainty of SonshipBecause of Christ, believers can know that they are loved, accepted, and secure in the family of God. We are His children, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, looking forward with certainty to the day when we will be glorified with Him.

What if one of the greatest threats to Christian witness isn't corruption “out there”, but the everyday compromises we tolerate in our homes, workplaces, churches, and institutions? In this episode of the Lausanne Movement Podcast, Jason Watson speaks with Filipino lawyer Richelle Joy Belgira De Ocampo about why integrity is essential to credible Christian witness—and why good intentions alone are not enough. Richelle argues that integrity and justice are more than ethical principles; they reflect the character of God. But living with integrity requires more than avoiding obvious forms of corruption like bribery or fraud. It means confronting the smaller compromises that can become normal in everyday life and building cultures of accountability that help Christians, churches, and institutions remain faithful. Together, Jason and Richelle explore why integrity begins in the home, how Christians can respond when corruption is embedded in the systems around them, why churches need genuine accountability around money and leadership, and how discipleship can prepare believers to live faithfully wherever God has placed them. Main Points Integrity is rooted in the character of God. Justice and integrity are not simply good Christian values or ethical standards. They reflect who God is, and Christians are called to reflect his character in every part of life. Corruption often begins with ordinary compromise. It is easy to think of corruption only in terms of politicians, bribery, or fraud. But dishonesty, cheating, manipulation, and seemingly small compromises can form the same patterns of behaviour on a smaller scale. Integrity begins at home. Before Christians speak about changing society, integrity must be formed in the ordinary relationships closest to us. Richelle highlights the family as a foundational place where honesty, consistency, responsibility, and accountability are first modelled. Good Christians still need accountability. Churches cannot rely only on the character or good intentions of individual leaders. Shared responsibility, financial accountability, appropriate leadership structures, clear policies, and checks and balances help protect both leaders and the communities they serve. Christian integrity must move beyond private morality. Faithfulness is not simply refusing to participate in wrongdoing. Christians are also called to bring integrity into the institutions and systems where God has placed them—whether in law, government, business, ministry, or the workplace. Discipleship must prepare believers for real-world pressures. Christians need formation not only around prayer, Scripture, generosity, and evangelism, but also around money, authority, conflicts of interest, workplace pressure, and the responsible use of power.

Paul intended to send Timothy to Philippi to know of their state. As he wrote to the Philippians concerning these plans, he noted Timothy's proven character (Philippians 2:19-24). Timothy is a character worthy of our imitation.

Does The Big HP Remove ALL Character Defects? Steps Six and Seven bring us face to face with a difficult question: when we become ready and ask God to remove our defects of character, does that mean every defect simply disappears? Today we're talking about what the Big Book actually says about character defects, humility, willingness, continued growth, and the difference between asking God for help and expecting instant spiritual perfection. Maybe the point is not that every defect vanishes overnight. Maybe the point is that we stop protecting them, stop excusing them, and become willing to let God change the way we live. #TheDailyTrudge #CharacterDefects #StepSix #StepSeven #AlcoholicsAnonymous #BigBook #Recovery #Humility #HigherPower

Life moves through seasons, and God has a distinct purpose for each one. Ecclesiastes 3:1 reminds us that there is a time for every activity under heaven, and Numbers 8 gives us a surprisingly practical picture of this through the lives of the Levites. Their service followed a clear arc: a time to prepare, a time to work, and a time to coach. These three seasons map directly onto the rhythms of our own lives, and understanding them can change the way we approach wherever we find ourselves right now.The preparation season is where foundations are built. Just as David faced lions and bears before Goliath, and just as Jesus spent 30 years of life before His public ministry began, preparation is not wasted time. It is essential time. God is shaping character, building habits, and developing faith that can hold up under pressure. The playing season is where preparation gives way to participation. Colossians 3 calls us to do everything from the heart as something done for the Lord. Your job is a platform, your neighborhood is a mission field, and the season you are in right now is the assignment. A critical reminder in this season is that your identity must remain rooted in Christ, not in your title or your role, because when that role ends, only what is built on Him will remain.The coaching season is not a lesser season but a deeply valuable redirection. Numbers 8 describes how the Levites shifted from doing the heavy work to assisting and guiding others. Moses poured into Joshua. Elijah poured into Elisha. Paul poured into Timothy. Psalm 145:4 calls one generation to declare God's works to the next. The wisdom that comes with age and experience is a gift, and the coaching season is the opportunity to pass it on. No matter which season you are in, the invitation is the same: trust God with it, be faithful in it, and keep your foundation in Jesus Christ, because every good season begins and ends with Him.

Being kind at work is easy when things are going well. Smiling, saying thank you, listening, remembering birthdays. The real test is what you do when there is a problem, a conflict, or a disagreement. This episode is a self-assessment. Twelve everyday workplace moments that look polite on the surface and cost someone else something real. Escalating to a manager before ever telling the colleague what the problem is. Staying silent in a meeting, then criticizing the decision privately afterward. Calling someone disrespectful instead of naming the behavior. Saying yes when you mean no. Redoing a team member's work instead of telling them what to change. The pattern underneath all twelve is the same. Avoiding an uncomfortable conversation feels like kindness to the person doing the avoiding, and transfers the cost to someone else in the form of lost information, lost time, lost reputation, or a lost opportunity. Here is the test: if your discomfort leaves someone else worse off on information, time, reputation, or opportunity, that is not kindness. Go through the twelve. For each one, decide honestly whether you are being kind or protecting your own comfort. Then pick one to change this week. Key takeaways Kindness measured in easy moments is worthless as a measure. What counts is how you behave when something is wrong. Avoidance is not neutral. It moves the cost off you and onto someone else. Directness is part of respect, not the opposite of it. Warmth plus avoidance is still a cost passed to somebody. Character labels like difficult, toxic, abrasive, and disrespectful attack identity and give the other person nothing to act on. Behavior plus impact plus a specific request does. People can only fix what they know about. Usable information delivered early is the actual kindness. Leaders set the standard here. How you handle a disagreement teaches your team what is allowed. The 12 checks  Escalating to a manager before telling the colleague what the behavior is Escalating without one conversation plus one reminder first Staying silent in a meeting, which reads as agreement Criticizing the decision privately after the meeting ends Using character labels instead of naming behavior and impact Being warm and polite as a way to avoid the real conversation Saying yes when you mean no, then delaying and under-delivering Passing someone over for an opportunity without naming the gap Ghosting an email because you do not know what to say yet Watching work go the wrong direction for weeks before correcting it Redoing someone's work instead of explaining what needs to change Concluding someone is not ready without ever telling them why

“Send Coach John a message”I found a post from Coach the Coaches (@WinningCoaches) that gave us a few items that would be good for us to remember.  “Rember that… Hard Work is a Choice, Attitude is a Choice, Discipline is a Choice, Doing Extra is a Choice, and Excellence is a Choice.” ~ Allistair McCaw.    When I saw this post, I was connected to it right away in that I've been having more and more moments where I'm connecting more and more to my mental awareness with things I need to do.  Each and every one of these (and more), are things I need to be and want to be, aware of more and doing more with them.  Holding myself a bit more accountable is what I need to do along with not beating myself up as much.  It's worth it every day to keep trying with these, my friends.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

“Send Coach John a message”A very solemn date in history today.  I saw this post that I shared:  “The Best Way to Honor Those Lost on 9/11 is To Be the People We Were on 9/12.”  I remember that day of 9/11 and indeed the day after too!  This is so right on target.  Sept. 12 was a day of patience, empathy, kindness, less hostility, realizing we were way more alike than different, etc.  There is an amazing and powerful reminder that we need to connect with this again… and not just one day a year when we remember the entire world changing by hate & terror.  We need to do better, my friends.  We need to BE better, for the sake of ourselves and each other.  The examples of what some “leaders” think is the right way of doing things, we need to be the better example for sure.

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on the Daily Radio Bible, a daily Bible‑in‑a‑year podcast with 20‑minute Scripture readings, Christ‑centered devotion, and guided prayer.This daily Bible reading and devotional invites you to live as a citizen of Jesus' kingdom, reconciled, renewed, and deeply loved. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible, where each day we journey through the pages of Scripture, seeking to encounter the living Word of God together. Today we read Lamentations chapters 3, 4, and 5, along with Revelation chapter 15. These are difficult passages. Lamentations gives voice to anguish, loss, confusion, and even questions about the character of God. Jeremiah speaks from within the devastation of Jerusalem, trying to understand what has happened to his people and where God is in the midst of it all. But right there, in the middle of lament, we hear some of the most beautiful words in all of Scripture: "The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning." Today we wrestle honestly with the difficult images of God we encounter in Scripture while remembering that Jesus is the fullest revelation of who God is. When our understanding of God becomes clouded by fear, suffering, or even difficult passages in the Bible, we look again toward Christ. And there we discover the God whose faithful love never ends. TODAY'S DEVOTION: What Is God Like? What is God like? The words we've read today in Lamentations are sobering. Disturbing, even. The depth of pain and sorrow expressed by Jeremiah raises profound questions about God's nature. Is God a capricious deity, much like the gods of Mount Olympus, inflicting suffering upon his people, making them eat gravel, leaving them devastated, and shutting out their prayers? These descriptions can create uncertainty and fear in our hearts if we're not sure how to read them. But Scripture invites us deeper. It invites us to wrestle honestly with these raw emotions. Jeremiah is telling God's story from within the devastation of siege and loss. He is describing what it feels like to stand among the ruins and believe that your suffering has come from the very hand of God. And then something happens. Jeremiah remembers. "Yet I still dare to hope when I remember this: The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning. I say to myself, 'The Lord is my inheritance; therefore, I will hope in him!'" And this is where we need to keep looking. Because if we want to know what God is truly like, ultimately we look to Jesus. Jesus is the fullest revelation of the Father. When we wonder whether God is against us, we look at Jesus. When suffering causes us to question whether God is good, we look at Jesus. When even the Scriptures seem to present us with images of God that leave us afraid or confused, we look at Jesus. Because in him we see the face of the Father. God does not come in Christ to crush us or leave us abandoned in darkness. He comes to deliver us from evil. To heal. To restore. To reconcile. To redeem. Jesus is our lens. He is the one through whom we come to understand the character and heart of God. So we don't have to deny the lament. We don't have to pretend suffering isn't real. Jeremiah certainly doesn't. But neither do we stop there. We keep looking until, beyond the ruins and through the tears, we see the face of Christ. And there we discover the God whose faithful love never ends. Whose mercies never cease. Whose faithfulness is great. And whose mercies are new every morning. That's the prayer I have for my own soul. That's the prayer I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, and my son. And that's the prayer I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL
