You ever catch yourself thinking… "Am I good enough for this?"  "Can I really pull this off?"  "Can I come through when it matters?" That's not honesty. That's a lie about who's actually in control. And it might be the very thing standing between you and the freedom you're searching for. In this 5-Minute Drill episode of Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™, J.R. breaks down why self-doubt isn't a confidence problem and gives you a simple 3-step strategy to flip the script for good. He shares the story of a private session with one of his MLB clients…a guy mid-season with sliding stats and spiraling confidence…and the one piece of truth J.R. told him that flipped his entire season. This episode is about one powerful truth: You're not lacking ability. You're lacking faith in the One who gave it to you. So stop trying to control the outcome. Start managing what God already gave you to steward. In this episode, you'll hear: Why self-doubt isn't just a mindset issue, it's a faith issue. The story of J.R.'s private session with an MLB client mid-slump, and the truth that flipped his season. Gideon's story in Judges 6, and how God called him despite his doubt, not because of his confidence. Why God stripped away Gideon's need for control before leading him into victory. The difference between control and management, and why that distinction unlocks freedom. The science behind the 3-step Drill, including metacognition and the psychological flexibility research J.R.'s guests Dr. Adam Wright and Dr. Nick Holton have discussed on the show. The most common mistake high-capacity men make when doubt creeps in, and why chasing full control only feeds it. The 3-step Drill to move from self-doubt to unshakable conviction. What you'll walk away with… You'll learn how to: Spot the difference between doubting your ability and doubting God's calling. Replace the trap of control with the freedom of stewardship. Use the 3-step Drill to move from doubt to declaration in real time. Speak truth over your circumstances instead of letting doubt drive your decisions. Show up with more faith and freedom in your career, leadership, and home. KEY QUOTES "When you doubt your abilities… you're actually doubting the ONE who gave you those abilities." - J.R. "If you're putting in the work… If you're stewarding the gifts and talents and abilities God gave you… Then doubting yourself isn't a humility issue. It's a faith issue." - J.R. "Control is about ownership. Management is about stewardship. And last I checked, we're called to be stewards, not saviors." - J.R.

Adam Chaffins has spent more than a decade and a half in Nashville, playing in bands, picking up tours with other artists, writing, producing and occasionally releasing an album, several singles and, last year, an EP. Sure, he also happened upon fellow Kentuckian Brit Taylor, whom he married along the way. Adam plays in her band, co-writes and produces some of her work. But 2026 is proving to be worth the weight, ups and downs of the journey. On August 21st, his 2025 EP Trailer Trash gets a full, deluxe re-release as an album (brilliantly called Trailer Trash - Doublewide). One week later, Adam Chaffins will make his solo debut on The Grand Ole Opry. Chaffins joined Roots Music Rambler this week to talk about that long journey to what many think is the ultimate success in country music, his album, background, family and more. Among the stories he told included the experience of playing with Billy Strings, writing with Adam Wright and the truly charmed life he seems to be living. Oh, and we're pretty sure Adam is eclipsing the popularity of Memphis, his ornery goat that often appears in his Instagram videos. Frank and Falls also celebrate the first two Roots Music Rambler haters – at least the first two blatant comments we deemed negative. It's a sure sign the show has finally made it. Someone out there took time out of their day to tell us we suck! (We love it!) And this week's Pickin' the Grinnin' choices have personal connections to each of our hosts. Frank chose her boss's son's band The Dead Bolts. Falls brags on Gracie Yates and Brock Burton, the former of whose mother and father helped advise him on a recent ripoff ploy on a car repair.  It's a Kentucky thing?

In this episode, Adam Wright welcomes back Allan Smith—author, evangelist, and member of the Archbishop Fulton Sheen Foundation advisory board—for a conversation on Fulton Sheen's powerful legacy as a teacher, catechist, and communicator. How did Archbishop Sheen captivate millions with something as simple as a chalkboard and a piece of chalk? Allan reflects on Sheen's unique ability to blend clarity, conviction, and personal connection—making complex truths of the Catholic faith accessible and engaging for everyone. Together, they explore Sheen's passion for catechesis and why his teachings remain just as relevant in today's fast-paced, media-driven world. From radio broadcasts to television programs to recorded catechism lessons, Sheen's mission was simple: to help people know, love, and live their faith.

What if resilience isn't enough?In this episode of Grow the Good, I sit down with Dr. Nick Holton and Dr. Adam Wright, co-founders of the Antifragile Academy, to explore how to move beyond just surviving life's stressors and instead use them to grow stronger. Nick and Adam share a science-backed, integrative framework that blends psychology, physiology, and purpose to help you thrive under pressure, navigate transitions, and build a more grounded sense of identity.We unpack the difference between resilience and antifragility, how to reframe volatility as a feature, not a flaw, of growth, and why thriving requires both distress tolerance and meaning. Whether you're an athlete, a high performer, or simply someone who wants to show up better in life, this conversation will expand how you think about potential, identity, and well-being.Top 5 Takeaways:Antifragility vs. resilience: Resilience helps you bounce back; Antifragility helps you grow stronger through challenge.Thriving = pleasantness + distress tolerance: True thriving includes discomfort and meaning, not just happiness.The 4-Lens Framework: Understand yourself through cognitive (top-down), physiological (bottom-up), environmental (outside-in), and values-based (inside-out) perspectives.Identity beyond performance: You are not just what you do. Growth requires detaching self-worth from achievement.Volatility as opportunity: Change, uncertainty, and stress can be leveraged for transformation if you engage intentionally.--------------The Grow the Good Podcast is produced by Palm Tree Pod Co.
