Arrogance can be one of the biggest blind spots for leaders. It shows up subtly in judgment, in righteousness, or in the need to be right, and it can quietly damage trust and impact. In this episode, Adam Quiney shares a personal story about being called out for his arrogance and the lessons that came with it. He explores why arrogance is often a survival mechanism, how to spot it in yourself, and what it takes to hold feedback with grace instead of defensiveness.

Have you ever been called arrogant when you were just being confident? Where is the line between healthy self-assurance and an off-putting ego?In this episode of Kingly Conversations, join hosts Alan, Twine, and Calvin as they tackle the crucial topic of "Building Confidence Without Arrogance". The Kings break down the key differences, defining arrogance as a superiority complex often masking insecurity, while true confidence is rooted in self-awareness and doesn't need external validation.Through personal stories and candid reflections, they explore how to develop genuine self-belief by being open to others, learning from mistakes, and understanding that real confidence is often quiet and doesn't need to announce itself. If you want to learn how to be sure of yourself without alienating others, tune in for a conversation that is both insightful and deeply relatable.We are just three guys with three different takes on life, love, business, sex, and politics.

Arrogance is a trap that blinds us to our need for God. In Hosea 12–13, the prophet reminds Israel of their history—how pride led them away from the Lord, and how mercy was the only way back.

In this episode, Dr. Leelo Bush explores how to replace fleeting self-confidence with lasting Godfidence. Through scripture, testimony, and coaching stories, she shows how confidence built on God's truth becomes steady, unshakable, and contagious.     What You'll Learn Why confidence is not a personality trait but a skill and a choice for believers. The difference between the world's confidence and God-centered confidence. How to replace self-doubt with agreement on God's promises. Daily practices to grow Godfidence. How to impart lasting confidence to others and build a faith-filled community.     Quotable Moment “The world's confidence will tell you, ‘You can do it if you believe in yourself.' Godfidence says, ‘You can do it because you believe in Him.'”     Scriptures Mentioned Hebrews 10:35 – “So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded.” 1 Samuel 17 – David and Goliath, confidence rooted in God's presence     Resources Courses & Certifications at PCCCA – https://pccca.org/courses The Comprehensive Christian Coach Handbook (Amazon link) – https://amzn.to/4mo5ra4 Healing the Grieving Brain Guide – https://griefcoachu.com/healing/ Courageous Christian Coaching Tribe (Facebook group) – https://facebook.com/groups/courageouschristiancoachingtribe Transcript Have you ever walked into a room feeling great about yourself? And then one glance from someone made you shrink inside? Or maybe you've had the opposite happen where something clicked deep inside you and suddenly you felt unstoppable. What if you could have that kind of confidence every single day? The kind that no one and nothing could shake. Today we're talking about exactly that. And I call it Godfidence. If you've ever wished that you could have unshakable, lasting confidence, the kind that doesn't crumble the moment someone gives you a funny look, you're in the right place. Today we're talking about a very specific kind of confidence—God-given confidence. I like to call it Godfidence. I don't remember where it came from, but if it's not in the dictionary, it should be. And unlike the confidence the world gives, this one won't vanish when the circumstances change. Welcome to the Christian Coaching School podcast. I'm your host, Dr. Leelo Bush. I'm a master coach, author, curriculum creator, and the number one authority on Spirit-led Christian coaching. I've trained tens of thousands worldwide since 2003, and if you are ready to uplevel your skills, find greater fulfillment, and employ the most powerful coaching available to mankind, let's go. Welcome back, my friends. I am so glad you're here today because we're diving into one of the biggest struggles I hear from people, especially believers. They'll say, “I just wish I felt more confident.” Some people think confidence is a personality type. You're either born with it or you're not. Others think it's about accomplishments—that once they've achieved a certain goal, then they'll feel confident. But what if I told you that real, lasting confidence doesn't come from either of those things? The truth is confidence that lasts—the kind that can weather storms and setbacks—is built on something the world can't give you and can't take away. And once you have it, you can pass it on to others. Confidence isn't just about feeling good about yourself. It's about stepping into what God has called you to do without being paralyzed by fear or doubt. Hebrews 10:35 says, “So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded.” When you know God has called you, confidence allows you to move forward even when you can't see the whole path. Society's version of confidence says you're awesome because you're beautiful, smart, or successful. God's version says you're equipped because I am with you. The world's confidence is like a helium balloon. It's fun while it's floating. But one sharp word from someone and—pop—it's gone. God's confidence is more like a deep-rooted oak tree. The winds can blow, the rains can pour, but you're still standing because your roots are anchored in His truth. Let's clear up another myth. Confidence is not a personality trait. It's not a case of some people have it and some people don't. It's a skill. And for the believer, it's also a choice. Think about David in the Bible. When he faced Goliath, he wasn't confident because he had the whole army behind him. In fact, they were hiding. He wasn't confident because he was the tallest, strongest warrior. He was confident because he knew God was with him, and that made all the difference. If your confidence is based on how well you did last time, how many people approve of you, or whether life is going smoothly, it will always be shaky. But when it's built on what God says about you—that you were chosen, you are loved, and you are equipped—it becomes steady. And here's the test: if your confidence disappears when circumstances change, it's fleeting. If it remains when things go wrong, it's lasting. Fleeting confidence says, “I nailed that presentation, so I feel good about myself.” Lasting confidence says, “Even if I stumble through this presentation, my worth and calling haven't changed.” The confidence the world offers is like an energy drink. It gives you a quick boost, but then you crash. God's confidence is living water. It keeps renewing and sustaining you. I remember a time early in my career when I was invited to present to a large group of community leaders. It was a big opportunity, and of course I wanted to make a strong impression. Right before I went up to speak, someone leaned over and whispered, “You know, these people are used to hearing from nationally known speakers. You might want to keep your talk short.” My first reaction—my stomach dropped. That little voice of doubt tried to tell me, “You're not qualified to be here.” But then I took a deep breath, silently prayed, “Lord, this is Your message, not mine,” and walked up with my head held high. The moment I started speaking, peace came over me. I knew I wasn't standing there in my own strength, and my words rolled out of me like I was a pro. It was like I was there in body, but someone else was controlling my message that day. It wasn't my polished words that made an impact—it was God's presence. And that's when I realized: when your confidence comes from Him, nobody can take it away. You might have heard this referred to as an anointing. And speaking of stepping into what God's called you to do, this is exactly why I am so passionate about equipping more Christians to serve with confidence in their calling.

So how do you shift from self-doubt to Godfidence? It starts with agreement—agreeing with what God says about you, even if your feelings haven't caught up yet. Instead of saying, “What if I fail?” you start saying, “If God called me to this, He'll equip me for it.” Instead of thinking, “I'm not good enough,” you remind yourself, “In Christ I am more than enough for this moment.” Confidence is not arrogance. Arrogance says, “I'm better than you.” Godfidence says, “I'm secure in who I am, and you're amazing too.” For me, Godfidence grows when I go back to my source. Daily time in the Word keeps my mind renewed because what we believe shapes everything. I also practice taking baby bold steps. Every time I say yes to God, even in something small, it builds my trust. I don't entertain self-doubt like it's a welcome houseguest. I speak life over myself and over others because words create belief. And I make it a habit to remember what God has already done in my life—because His track record is perfect. And here's the beautiful part: we're not meant to keep Godfidence to ourselves. I remember coaching a young woman who had such a powerful testimony but was terrified to share it. She told me she was not a speaker and she didn't know what to say. I looked her straight in the eye and said, “This isn't about being a speaker. It's about being obedient.” We worked together on a short version of her story, prayed before she went on stage, and I watched as she stepped up with shaking hands. And then the Spirit took over. The response she got that night was overwhelming. People came up in tears thanking her for her courage. Later she told me, “If you hadn't believed in me, I wouldn't have been able to do it.” But what I really wanted her to see was that it wasn't my belief that mattered—it was God's. And that's the power of imparting Godfidence, friend. The world's confidence will tell you, “You can do it if you believe in yourself.” Godfidence says, “You can do it because you believe in Him.” You don't have to wait until you feel ready, because with God, you already are. And when you live in this kind of confidence, it doesn't just change your life—it's contagious. People around you start to rise too. So this week, take one step that scares you just a little, but do it with the full assurance that God is with you. And if you see someone else shrinking back, speak courage into them. Pass it on. That's how we build a confident, faith-filled community. I'm Dr. Leelo Bush, and you've been listening to the Christian Coaching School podcast.

Arrogance causes us not to ask God, even though it is God's nature to give. When we try to handle everything in our own ability and intellect, we close ourselves down from receiving. James 1 tells us to ask God for wisdom. God will never twist things on you, and He will give wisdom unconditionally if you ask. Our carnal mind demands to be in control, to know everything before we trust God to do anything outside of our comfort zone, but Proverbs tells us to "lean not on our own understanding." It's not our own, earthly understanding that will help us. Our wisdom has limits, but God's Spirit has none. Could it be there is no limitations with God but our ask?

In this episode of The Leadership Sandbox, Tammy dives into the recent Cracker Barrel rebranding debacle. This corporate misstep, a $700 million gamble aimed at attracting a younger demographic, led to a 14% stock drop and a massive customer backlash. Tammy dissects the four major lies leaders told themselves that led to this catastrophic failure. You'll discover why a brand's most valuable asset lives in the memory and emotion of its customers—and what happens when you strip that away. This isn't just a story about a failed rebrand; it's a critical leadership lesson on the dangers of ignoring your core identity, failing to connect with your audience, and letting financial recklessness get disguised as innovation. Key Takeaways for Leaders Your Brand is an Emotion: A brand's value is rooted in nostalgia and emotional connection. Without it, your brand becomes soulless. The Cost of Ignoring Your Customer: Chasing a new market while alienating your core customer base is a recipe for disaster. Arrogance vs. Integrity: Long-term strategy without short-term integrity is just arrogance. Ignoring customer feedback to push a "modern" agenda is a critical failure of leadership. Financial Recklessness: Understand the difference between a sound investment in your brand and a financially reckless gamble disguised as modernization. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why Cracker Barrel's $700 million rebrand led to a massive stock drop and customer backlash. The four communication lies leaders believed that led to this major misstep. How to prioritize brand integrity and emotional connection in your business strategy. Why ignoring customer sentiment is the most dangerous form of leadership. How to avoid being "dead right" by leading with both strategy and humility. Join us in the sandbox to explore the lies leaders tell themselves and how to avoid making a fatal mistake.

Crystal Rivers | Kingdom Mysteries | Aug 27, 2025 You must understand that meekness is fundamentally different from what most people imagine. When Scripture describes Moses as "very meek above all men on the face of the earth," it does not mean he was simply humble or soft-spoken. True meekness is a heart condition where the "pride of life" has been dried up - where your soul is no longer resistant to engaging with God when He seeks your attention. **The Root of Spiritual Pride** Pride, in the biblical sense, is not mere arrogance or boastfulness. It is your resistance to disengaging from one realm of fellowship to enter another. When God desires your attention and you find yourself putting Him off or treating His voice as unimportant, you are demonstrating pride. This happens because something else has captured your affection - whether money, pleasure, power, or any worldly pursuit - making it difficult for you to respond immediately to God's call. The Scripture identifies three components that make up worldliness: the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life. These work progressively - first you see something enticing (lust of the eyes), then you remember and desire to experience it again (lust of the flesh), and finally that desire becomes so strong that it interferes with your ability to hear and respond to God (pride of life). **Satan's Example and Its Implications** Satan's fall illustrates this principle perfectly. His heart was "lifted up because of his beauty" - not because he became conceited, but because he calculated that his God-given abilities were sufficient for him to operate independently of God. This led him to cut off the continuous flow of inspiration that comes from the Creator, resulting in spiritual death. Satan's rebellion was essentially choosing self-sufficiency over dependence on God. This same pattern affects humanity. When you operate from a place of perceived self-sufficiency, you begin to live the kind of life Satan lives - one marked by spiritual blindness, the need to steal and defend resources, and an inability to receive from God's abundance. **The Connection to Prayer and Fellowship** What many believers call "difficulty with prayer" is actually pride manifesting in their spiritual lives. If you find it hard to engage with God, if prayer feels burdensome or if you consistently delay responding to His promptings, you are dealing with spiritual arrogance. The church's widespread struggle with prayer is fundamentally a pride problem. Moses reached a level of meekness that exceeded even prophetic gifting. While most prophets receive revelation through dreams, visions, and symbolic communications that require interpretation, Moses communicated with God "mouth to mouth, plainly, not in dark speeches." This was not special treatment - it was the result of Moses being "faithful in all God's house," meaning he consistently responded to God's voice over long periods of time. **Practical Application** To develop meekness, you must actively practice the opposite of pride. When God prompts you to pray, respond immediately rather than finding excuses. When He speaks through His word, engage rather than delay. This is not about perfection but about consistent practice - "by reason of use" your spiritual senses become exercised. The goal is to reach a place where you can "receive with meekness the implanted word" which saves your soul through reconnection with God. Without this meekness, even when you hear God's voice, pride will prevent you from acting on what you've heard. Remember that you are not of this world, which "lies under the sway of the wicked one." Any worldliness in your life can be traced to some form of fellowship with Satan's system. The Melchizedek priesthood requires a lifestyle of meekness - there is no shortcut around developing this heart condition through consistent, faithful engagement with God over time. http://www.caveadullam.org/zoom

In this episode of the Parsha Review Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe delves into Parshas Devarim, the opening portion of the Book of Deuteronomy, which serves as a review (Mishneh Torah) of the Torah's teachings, encapsulating Moses' final remarks to the Jewish people. Rabbi Wolbe focuses on the first verse (Deuteronomy 1:1), which lists seemingly extraneous locations—such as the wilderness, Arava, and Dizahav—where Moses spoke to the Israelites. Quoting Rashi, he explains that these are veiled critiques of the Jewish people's past sins, including the complaints after Egypt, the Midianite women, the spies, the manna, Korach's rebellion, and the Golden Calf. Moses delivers these critiques gently to avoid direct confrontation, reflecting the Torah's sensitivity to prevent embarrassment.Rabbi Wolbe ties this to the upcoming month of Elul, a time for introspection and gentle self-critique, and shares his grandfather's advice to young husbands to avoid critiquing their wives for three years to preserve their relationship. He references a Talmudic teaching from Yevamot 65b, which mandates offering constructive criticism only when it will be accepted, and withholding it otherwise, emphasizing that effective critique requires knowing the recipient well and prioritizing their growth over personal catharsis. Rabbi Wolbe recounts a story about Rabbi Yaakov Galinsky visiting Rabbi Hetskel Levenstein during shiva, where Levenstein lamented that no one offered him introspective critique about his wife's passing, unlike the sages who lovingly prompted Rav Huna to reflect on his loss of 400 barrels of wine (Tractate Berachot 5b). This underscores the value of constructive feedback from trusted friends. Rabbi Wolbe encourages embracing criticism as a path to self-improvement, as taught in Ethics of the Fathers (6:6), and warns against arrogance that rejects critique. He concludes by urging listeners to use gentle, loving critique to foster personal growth and prepare for Rosh Hashanah, wishing all a meaningful Shabbos._____________This episode (Ep 7.40) of the Parsha Review Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe on Parshas Bamidbar is dedicated in honor of our Holy Soldiers in the Battlefield and our Torah Scholars in the Study Halls who are fighting for the safety of our nation!Download & Print the Parsha Review Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ncaRyoH5iJmGGoMZs9y82Hz2ofViVouv?usp=sharingRecorded at TORCH Studios (C) to an online TORCHzoom.com audience on August 15, 2025, in Passaic, New Jersey.Released as Podcast on August 17, 2025_____________Subscribe: Apple Podcasts (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/parsha-review-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1651930083)Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/22lv1kXJob5ZNLaAl6CHTQ) to stay inspired! Share your questions at awolbe@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Help us share Jewish wisdom globally by sponsoring an episode at torchweb.org.

He references a Talmudic teaching from Yevamot 65b, which mandates offering constructive criticism only when it will be accepted, and withholding it otherwise, emphasizing that effective critique requires knowing the recipient well and prioritizing their growth over personal catharsis. Rabbi Wolbe recounts a story about Rabbi Yaakov Galinsky visiting Rabbi Hetskel Levenstein during shiva, where Levenstein lamented that no one offered him introspective critique about his wife's passing, unlike the sages who lovingly prompted Rav Huna to reflect on his loss of 400 barrels of wine (Tractate Berachot 5b). This underscores the value of constructive feedback from trusted friends. Rabbi Wolbe encourages embracing criticism as a path to self-improvement, as taught in Ethics of the Fathers (6:6), and warns against arrogance that rejects critique. He concludes by urging listeners to use gentle, loving critique to foster personal growth and prepare for Rosh Hashanah, wishing all a meaningful Shabbos._____________This episode (Ep 7.40) of the Parsha Review Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe on Parshas Bamidbar is dedicated in honor of our Holy Soldiers in the Battlefield and our Torah Scholars in the Study Halls who are fighting for the safety of our nation!Download & Print the Parsha Review Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ncaRyoH5iJmGGoMZs9y82Hz2ofViVouv?usp=sharingRecorded at TORCH Studios (C) to an online TORCHzoom.com audience on August 15, 2025, in Passaic, New Jersey.Released as Podcast on August 17, 2025_____________Subscribe: Apple Podcasts (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/parsha-review-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1651930083)Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/22lv1kXJob5ZNLaAl6CHTQ) to stay inspired! Share your questions at awolbe@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Help us share Jewish wisdom globally by sponsoring an episode at torchweb.org.

That's a big transition, and some people don't handle it very well — they really kind of fall apart.” “Success is living out the life that you have been handed. Your identity was predestined in some ways … but when I see someone living out their calling in life, regardless of how wealthy they are, that's what success is.” “To be successful at anything, you have to live consistently and with repetition to do whatever it is that you want to do well.” “I can't control an outcome. I'm not that powerful, I'm not that good. But I can always put myself in the position to succeed.” BOOKS MENTIONED: 48 Days to the Work You Love: Preparing for the New Normal by Dan Miller (https://a.co/d/34MIxq6) The Slight Edge: Turning Simple Disciplines into Massive Success and Happiness by Jeff Olson, John David Mann (https://a.co/d/27XN0BW) ASSESSMENT TOOL: Jordan Peterson Big 5 Personality Test USEFUL RESOURCES: https://www.garychupik.com/ https://www.elitemindsetnation.com/  https://www.linkedin.com/in/gary-chupik-22aba6161/ https://www.instagram.com/elitemindset/ https://www.facebook.com/gary.chupik https://x.com/chupik_gary CONNECT WITH JOHN Website - https://iamjohnhulen.com    LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnhulen Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/johnhulen    Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/johnhulen    X - https://x.com/johnhulen    YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLX_NchE8lisC4NL2GciIWA    EPISODE CREDITS Intro and Outro music provided by Jeff Scheetz - https://jeffscheetz.com/ 

On this week's Keepin It Real, there are some arrogant folks showing up in Cam's life these days. They don't' commiserate with Cam's struggles. Instead, they gloat... ----- This is a commentary about a specific kind of quiet arrogance. It's in the background. But you know it when you hear it. These people are “just reporting the truth,” as they may say. It's not truth. It's haughty arrogance. And I'll tell you where I've run up against it recently. The first is citrus arrogance. I planted a satsuma tree in my yard many years ago and it has never produced one satsuma. I talk it. I water it. I play it Gloria Estafan. It's leafy and broad and growing, but no fruit. When I ask gardeners, their arrogance explodes. “Oh man!” they say. “My satsuma tree is overcome with satsumas. I bag them and give them to family. Then I bag more and give them to neighbors. Then I bag more and leave them on my curb hoping someone will take them away. I can't get close to the tree there are so many on the ground. You can probably see them from outer space. I have vitamin C poisoning. Even my dog is eating them” and on and on. “You know,” I say, “You don't have to boast so much about your dang tree.” “Hey! I'm just reporting the truth.” “Yes. A little too loudly” is my reply. My neighbor says his Satsumas taste like Starburst Fruit Chew candy and he gets tired of eating them. Ugh. Next are hummingbird people. “Do you have any hummingbirds yet,” they ask. “Yes,” I'll reply. “The first one arrived a week or so ago. It's a little female.” “Wow,” they shoot back. “I think I have fifty. Maybe a hundred. I feel like I'm in some sort of war zone with so many hummingbirds flying by my face and the sounds of their wings. You've heard what one bird's wings sounds like? Imagine a hundred buzzing all over the place. It's a roar. I added a few more feeders to allow them to spread out but they brought in more hummingbirds. I think I have two hundred now. Maybe a thousand. I can't hardly go outside anymore. Aren't they magical?” Yes. Like you disappearing right now would be magical. “Hey! I'm just reporting the truth,” they say. Blech. Finally, orchid people. I have a knotty cypress stump full of holes and I want help turning it into an orchid planter. But having an orchid person in Alabama, Georgia, or Florida call me back with some advice is darn near impossible. “Ha!” I can hear them saying, “If he doesn't know how to do that, he won't learn it from me! Our orchid club is closed.” They can cite every orchid's family, genus, and species articulated perfectly in Latin and they flash a look of contempt when you can't do the same. It's a club and they're quick to point out that you're not in it. And they won't tell you how to get in and they won't return your calls even if you leave several messages at the so called “Master Gardener Hotline.” Which is a crock. They'll deny it of course. “We're not arrogant,” they'll say. “We're not hoarding information. We're not trying to keep you out.” Ha. I'm just reporting the truth. I'm Cam Marston and I'm just trying to Keep It Real.  

The news of Texas covered today includes:Our Lone Star story of the day: A judge in Illinois says “no” to enforcing Texas' law on runaway Democrat legislators. No surprise but worth the try. The entire Democrat hypocrisy over Congressional partisan gerrymandering is shown in this: Anti-Gerrymandering Watchdog Announces Its Support For Gerrymandering. Not really a surprise given that Common Cause is little but a front group for Democrat policy.Meanwhile, California's Newsom announces redistricting effort to counter Texas plan. Recent polling shows California voters not aboard with this idea, yet.Texas House Democrats say they will issue their demands for the next special session tomorrow. Demands?!  Maybe we should go ahead and redistrict state House and Senate seats too and draw even more of them out.Our Lone Star story of the day is sponsored by Allied Compliance Services providing the best service in DOT, business and personal drug and alcohol testing since 1995.Identical House and Senate bills ban intoxicating THC derived from Hemp – new polling shows an overwhelming majority of Republican Primary voters support a full ban and oppose Abbott's idea of “regulating” such which would be de facto legalization of pot.For JCPenny and the rest (a bit of this played on the show today, it's in my regular bumper music database): https://youtu.be/mg5VwtODOJQ?si=EoIHPPSZY8j4boKr   Here's a little bit more from the Rev.

Here's another lesson I've been learning about myself lately, maybe it will hep you, too. Enjoy!Michelle@GrowBy1.comGrowBy1.com/IntuitiveReading

Billions of dollars have been spent on Alzheimer's research over many decades, yet no effective treatment exists. Investigative journalist Charles Piller has revealed one reason for the impasse: pivotal scientific research into Alzheimer's disease — affirming the hypothesis that it's caused by sticky amyloid plaques in the brain — was based on manipulated images. (Encore presentation.) Resources: Charles Piller, Doctored: Fraud, Arrogance, and Tragedy in the Quest to Cure Alzheimer's One Signal, 2025 The post Manipulating Alzheimer's Research appeared first on KPFA.

Donald Trump recently announced a new round of tariffs including outrageous ones on Brazil that bring the effective tariff rate to 50%. Forget that we have a surplus with Brazil or that they’re one of the biggest economies in Latin America, one of our closest allies historically and the biggest democracy in South America. Trump’s upset that the Lula administration is targeting his friend Jair Bolsonaro, dubbed the “Trump of the Tropics.” Or so he claims. There’s a lot more to this ridiculous and misguided trade war than hurt feelings and bad economics. It’s about Brazil’s leadership of the BRICS+ alliance that threatens to undermine Trump’s plan to personally become the central banker to the world.

On this heartfelt installment of Men of Steel, Case and Jmike are joined by Ryan Luis Rodriguez (One Track Mind, Reels of Justice) to discuss the powerful documentary Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story. We reflect on Reeve's legacy as both a performer and a real-life hero, unpack the emotional depth of the film, and celebrate the enduring impact of the Man of Steel. #ChristopherReeve #Superman #SuperManDocumentary #MenOfSteelPod #ReelsOfJustice #OneTrackMind Find Ryan at: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/one-track-mind-with-ryan-luis-rodriguez/id1431611476 and https://www.patreon.com/onetrackmindpodcast Overview Episode 150 of the Men of Steel podcast celebrates hosts Case Aiken and Jmike Folson's significant milestone, with guest Ryan Luis Rodriguez joining in the discussion. Ryan Luis Rodriguez boasts a 4-0 record on the Reels of Justice podcast, with an upcoming Frozen 2 prosecution case highlighting his expertise. The hosts shared personal memories of the impact of Christopher Reeve's 1995 horseback riding accident, shaping their childhood experiences at ages 9 and 11. A well-edited documentary chronicling Reeve's life compiles 40 years of footage, avoiding melodrama while effectively communicating emotional depth. Christopher Reeve's casting as Superman faced doubts; his physical presence and several life factors contributed to his iconic portrayal of the character. The documentary discusses the deep emotional bond between Reeve and Robin Williams, revealing their supportive friendship nurtured during their Juilliard days. Following Reeve's accident, Dana Reeve emerged as a dedicated caregiver, transforming their tragedy into advocacy for disability rights and research funding. The podcast notes Reeve's advocacy for stem cell research and his collaboration with John Kerry, which marked him as a significant political figure in this area. Reeve's legacy is sustained through the Christopher Reeve Foundation, which continues to advance research funding for spinal injury treatment. New Patreon initiatives were introduced, with gratitude extended to executive producers supporting the Men of Steel podcast and connected shows.   Notes ️ Episode Introduction & Guest Background (00:00 - 04:36) Episode 150 milestone celebration of Men of Steel podcast, marking significant achievement for hosts Case Aiken and Jmike Folson Ryan Luis Rodriguez joins as guest, known from Reels of Justice podcast where he serves as prosecutor/defender in fake movie court format Ryan's current 4-0 record on Reels of Justice, with upcoming Frozen 2 prosecution case Ryan also hosts One Track Mind podcast focusing on film through audio commentaries, featuring Case as previous guest ‍️ Personal Memories of Christopher Reeve's Accident (06:01 - 08:33) 1995 horseback riding accident deeply impacted all hosts as children -

How can you apply the mental training techniques of world-class achievers to maximize your performance? In this episode, Rich sits down with Dr. Nate Zinsser — performance psychologist, long-time director of West Point's Center for Enhanced Performance, and author of The Confident Mind. Dr. Zinsser shares practical tools for building unshakable confidence, how to mentally prepare for high-stakes moments, and why envisioning your wins before they happen is a key to sustained success. He also explains how athletes, warriors, and business leaders can all train their minds to adapt to any situation they face — and why a “first victory” begins before you ever walk into the room.   Key Quotes: “I define confidence as a state of certainty that you will have about a particular ability, a particular skill or competence, a sense of certainty that allows you to bypass conscious analysis and thought about what you're doing and basically execute unconsciously.” “You are in that spotlight, your body is going to surge. And you can either choose to say, ‘I'm excited. This is cool. Look at my body turning on.' Or you can go, ‘Geez, I'm getting real nervous. I don't like this.' Choose wisely. It's going to happen.” “And proper envisioning is a skill. It is a skill that, as I've said before, improves with practice. And sometimes you have to start with very simple things.” “Confidence is how you think on the inside. Arrogance is what you put out to the world.” “If success produced confidence, you'd have a ton of it. No, it's not about the success that you've had. It's about your willingness to emotionally invest in your own success, to allow it to build.” --- Practice Makes Profit: Rich shares how leaders can prepare for important events the same way elite athletes prepare for game day — by creating a daily mental workout to train their minds for high performance.   League of Strategic Minds: How can leaders train for confidence the same way they train for physical performance? Is it really possible to "practice" in your mind?   Winsight: Is your team winning? Are you outperforming the competition in providing superior value to customers? In its most basic form, strategy is how you plan to win. If you're not currently winning, then create a new strategy.   ⏱ Time Stamps: (00:00) Deep Dive Interview with Dr. Nate Zinsser (47:34) Practice Makes Profit (50:34) League of Strategic Minds (53:16) Winsights, Ideas for Advantage

Humble confidence comes from serving others and showing up with consistency.” “Most of my painful lessons, including losing over a million dollars to embezzlement, could have been avoided by listening to my mentors sooner.” Connect with Stephen Scoggins: Website: stephenscoggins.com

A man is involved in a sinful relationship with his stepmother, and the church's prideful attitude toward this sin is deeply concerning. Paul reminds the Corinthians that such behavior is unacceptable and must be confronted. He instructs them to remove the unrepentant individual from their fellowship, not out of malice, but to encourage repentance and protect the church's purity. Paul compares sin to leaven, warning that it spreads and corrupts the entire body. He urges the church to live as unleavened bread, pure and holy in Christ. Furthermore, Paul clarifies that he is not addressing unbelievers but instructs the church to hold fellow Christians accountable, emphasizing the importance of upholding God's standards within the church. Arrogance among God's people can take many forms. In today's reading, it manifests as unaddressed immorality, as if God would not hold the group accountable. Paul emphasizes that the church must confront sin for the good of the sinners and the purity of the congregation. This should be our attitude toward ungodliness among us. We must humbly accept that we will answer to God for inaction. However, our motives must always be to save and protect, whether it be the sinner or the members of our church family. This may require extreme actions, such as breaking off associations with someone or removing them from the local church fellowship. All must be done with the hope of restoration and peace.   Holy God, we hear Your call to morality and holiness in Jesus' name. Help us confront violations of Your will within ourselves and among Your people with humility, love, and courage. Teach us to address sin with the desire for restoration and fellowship, being mindful to protect the integrity of Your little ones among us. Grant us wisdom to discern how to approach those in sin, balancing mercy and resolve as we stand for Your will. Strengthen our commitment to live as unleavened bread, set apart for You, and determined to abandon arrogance and purge sin from our midst.  Thought Questions: -       What might lead a local church to overlook sin among them? How can you help your local fellowship overcome this and address souls? -       How important is it for local churches to keep sin from among their midst? Why is it dangerous to allow ungodliness to be common among us? -       Why are Christians told “not to associate” with brethren caught in sin? Why is this important, and what does it look like in your life?
