Podcasts about circumstances

Getting unstuck Before you can move forward, you have to get unstuck a bit. Part of being stuck is worrying. Some people are really really good at it. Oh I’m sorry I’m raising my hand. Check out the how can I stop worrying episode. Sometimes life can get you really stuck. Circumstances can be such that you really just wanna give up. I feel you. And mental health is a delicate subject. If you’ve ever thought of truly giving up, check out depression and throwing away the container. You may be stuck because you think everything you’re doing is failing or you lament all of your failures as 100% your responsibility. If that’s the case, then the reverse is also true. You are also 100% responsible for your successes. Perhaps it’s time to start taking responsibility for those. That’s such an odd sentence isn’t it? If it feels weird to say that out loud then you’ll benefit from the episode taking responsibility for the good in your life. Sometimes being stuck isn’t necessarily running into a wall, but rather being at a place with lack of direction. And that can manifest as feeling like you don’t have the energy or desire to do something or you literally don’t know what to do. I created a simple and very effective way to find your way back and in the process get something as a gift to yourself. If you’ve ever lost your way, check out the episode called UPS, my secret for avoiding depression being more productive. Growing If you want to grow in 2026 you may have to learn. You may find that there are things you know quite well in fact, so well you take it for granted. And in doing so that can make it both a challenge to learn and a challenge to teach. If you adopt a beginner mindset in which you are completely open to learning, it makes it a very enjoyable experience to learn new skills and it’ll make you an excellent teacher. Check out the beginner mindset makes you a better teacher. On a related note—a lot of people equate success with productivity. After all if you’re being productive, it means you feel good about what you’re doing and you’re producing something that at the bare minimum makes you happy and is aligned with you and hopefully it’s also profitable. It may surprise you that this is one of the times in your life in which selfishness is a really good thing. If you tailor your productivity selfishly to what really makes you happy you’ll end up with a really good product and maybe surprised at how many other people enjoy the benefits of this specificity. Check out why selfish productivity may be the best productivity. We tend to present our success as milestones, but we forget we built those milestones layer by layer. If your goal is to do a certain thing, but you ignore the steps to get there you’re making it much more difficult for yourself than it should be. Everything we do in life is layer by layer. It’s iterative. You can learn a great lesson about this by listening to live your life iteratively Gaining control & Managing your energy Part of moving forward in 2026 is probably gaining some control. If you don’t have any control over your environment or yourself, nothing is going to happen. Every so often I ask myself a question that drives me crazy until I answer it… and that driving myself crazy usually ends up with me manifesting an entire book after much research and experimentation. This time it manifested itself in the form of an app that runs on both your phone and your browser. Check out what I figured out in the episode I think I found the perfect question. We are bombarded with social media and we tend to compare our successes to others. How can we not when everything from LinkedIn to Instagram shows us just how happy and successful everyone else is. But the energy you put in to showing off is energy you’re not putting into improving. Check out the silence of success and after it, you may not be putting more effort into being successful, but your effort will be more effectively applied to what’s best for you. All work and no play as they say. I actually started this podcast because I needed to learn what balance was in life. It was a comment from a psychologist I was visiting with my very young kids because of the turmoil of what was happening in the household related to the divorce. I wanted to make sure they were OK. “But what are you doing for you,” she asked. That comment truly sent me on the path to find out what life was made of and how to have balance.  If you go into 2026 thinking you are going to work yourself to death and make something happen, you need to consider feeding more to your brain and your soul than just work. The problem is that people who tend to be high achievers don’t wanna just stare at a wall or trash TV to relax they need to be equally engaged. If you’re one of these special people then check out engagement fiction for your type a brain. Bonus. More items: Subscribe to this podcast. It’s free, and only ten minutes.

As we approach the New Year, it's almost inevitable that we'll find ourselves taking stock of all that came and went in the year prior. For most of us, this happens because we are trying to pinpoint those things we hope to improve on over the next 12 months. But as my guest and I discuss in today's episode, when it comes to leadership, these sorts of ‘self-audits' tend to focus inward, when sometimes we need to take stock of the people and peers we choose to surround ourselves with.Joining me this week is John R. Miles, CEO and founder of Passion Struck, an organization focused on impacting real change by educating people on how to live intentionally. A  former U.S. Navy officer, Fortune 50 executive, and global thought leader, John's core philosophy is that when people matter, they thrive. When organizations make people matter, everything else follows.John is now the executive producer and host of the Passion Struck podcast, ranked in the top 0.01% of all podcasts globally, and his latest book, "Passion Struck: Twelve Powerful Principles to Unlock Your Purpose and Ignite Your Most Intentional Life." was named a Next Big Idea Club Must-Read. As a man of many talents, John shares the leadership lessons he's seen that transcend any one institution, how situational leadership is about adjusting style, not principles, and the dangers of defining ourselves solely on the circumstances we find ourselves in. Enjoy the show!

Life rarely stays neat. Plans wobble. Circumstances shift. And often, nothing on the outside gets fixed. But something on the inside can change.In Philippians 4:6–9, the apostle Paul shows us a different way to live. From a prison cell, he teaches the church how thanksgiving reshapes the heart, how an excellent mind forms a faithful life, and how inward formation naturally becomes outward witness.In this message, Thanksgiving and the Excellent Life, we explore:• Why gratitude is not denial, but spiritual formation• How thanksgiving leads to peace even when circumstances remain hard• What it means to set our minds on what is true, noble, pure, and excellent• How our thoughts shape our habits, actions, and witness• Why pressing upward in faith always leads to going outward in loveThis sermon is for anyone who feels anxious, distracted, discouraged, or hungry for a deeper way to live the Christian life. Paul reminds us that the excellent life is not about perfection, but about practicing faith, gratitude, and obedience in everyday moments.When the people of God live thankful lives and think excellent thoughts, the world begins to see Christ in them.#ThanksgivingAndTheExcellentLife#Philippians4#ChristianThanksgiving#RenewYourMind#ChristianLiving#FaithInEverydayLife#PressingUpwardGoingOutward#BibleTeaching#ChristianYouTube#Gratitude#PeaceOfGod#ExcellentLife#Sermon

Zach sits down with Justin and Kylie Coulson, parents of six daughters and co-creators of the Happy Families movement. What unfolds is a deeply honest conversation about failure, repair, intention, and the long road toward building a family culture that actually feels good to live in. Justin shares a pivotal early-parenting moment that became the turning point of his life: a loss of control with one of their young children that forced him to confront who he was becoming as a father and husband. Kylie describes the clarity she felt in that moment—her love for Justin alongside her unwavering commitment to her children's safety—and how that line in the sand changed everything. From there, the conversation traces Justin's radical career pivot from radio to psychology, the years of study and sacrifice that followed, and the birth of the Happy Families philosophy. Together, Justin and Kylie unpack what “happy” actually means—not the absence of hardship, but the presence of connection, safety, and shared joy, especially around the family table. They share the simple but powerful structures they use to stay aligned: weekly check-ins, quarterly retreats, and a three-question framework that replaces blame with collaboration. Through stories of totalled cars, hard choices, and repaired moments, Justin and Kylie show how families are built—not through perfection, but through practised responses, accountability, and love that stays bigger than the mess. Key Takeaways We always get to choose our response – Circumstances don't dictate behavior; intention does. People matter, things don't – Safety, connection, and relationship always come before stuff. Happy families are built, not inherited – Skills like communication, repair, and emotional regulation are learnable. Hardship doesn't cancel happiness – Joy is found in meaning, not ease. Repair builds trust – Conflict isn't the enemy; unresolved conflict is. Structure creates safety – Regular check-ins and retreats help families stay aligned. Blame kills collaboration – Asking “How can we support each other?” changes everything. The table is the vision – A family that wants to be together is the real measure of success. Guest Info Justin & Kylie Coulson Justin Coulson is a parenting expert, author, psychologist, and founder of Happy Families (https://happyfamilies.com.au/). He hosts Australia's most-downloaded parenting podcast, The Happy Families Podcast, and appears on national television.

Tennessee native Butch Wilmore has dedicated his life to service, spending his entire career in the U.S. Navy and with NASA.

Many people will tell you that you can use AI for just about anything – and others will tell you to avoid it at all costs.The truth? Somewhere in the middle.This week, I dive into this difficult question to examine what you should and shouldn't do when it comes to using software vs. getting help, and the exact line between saving money and having a low quality product.

Circumstances often drive whether we have joy or not, and the reality is that joy is possible in Christ regardless of circumstances.

Here is Pastor Frank Vargo's sermon on 12/14/25 titled, "Christians In Crazy Circumstances" from 1 Timothy 6:1-2. Freedom Bible Church is a nondenominational church located at 5550 S. Sumter Blvd in North Port, Florida. The name “Freedom” comes from 2 Corinthians 3:17, "Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom." Our desire is to be a God-centered church, not man-centeredFreedom Bible Church is a Bible based church located at 5550 S. Sumter Blvd in North Port, Florida. The name “Freedom” comes from 2 Corinthians 3:17, "Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom." Our desire is to be a God-centered church, not man-centered.Website: https://freedombiblechurch.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/freedombiblepcInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/freedombiblechurchOur church members come from North Port, Wellen Park, West Port, Port Charlotte, Punta Gorda, Venice, and Englewood.

In Week 3 of Advent, we explore a joy that defies circumstances, a resilient joy rooted not in ease, but in God's presence with us. From the angels' good news in Luke 2 to rejoicing in hardship, we are reminded that joy came down in Jesus and quietly declares that the darkness is not winning.

What if joy isn't the result of a better season—but the fuel that carries you through the wilderness? In Advent Part 3: Joy, we explore a deeper, biblical understanding of joy that goes far beyond fleeting happiness or emotional highs. Drawing from Isaiah 35, this message reveals that joy often arrives before circumstances change—because joy is anchored in who God is, not what we see. This sermon reminds us that: Joy is not fragile or circumstantial Joy is not something we manufacture Joy is formed by the Holy Spirit in the life of a believer Joy is an act of rebellion against despair Jesus did not wait for the world to be fixed before entering it. He came into the wilderness—and joy came with Him. If you've ever felt stuck waiting for life to improve before you could breathe again… this message is for you.

Drawing on C.S. Lewis's “always winter” imagery, Pastor Tyler Crosson teaches that Christmas is God entering a broken, routine-filled world to bring lasting joy through Jesus. This joy isn't dependent on circumstances but is a gift available to all, especially the overlooked. True joy comes from trusting the Savior who stepped into our brokenness, not from trying to create meaning on our own.Reflection Questions:1.   Where am I currently looking for joy — in a season, circumstance, achievement, or relationship — and how has that shaped my expectations or disappointments?2.   In what ways might I be “settling for winter,” becoming comfortable with routine, brokenness, or spiritual numbness instead of opening myself to the new life and joy God offers?3.   What would it look like for me to actively receive and live from the gift of joy announced at Christmas, rather than trying to create, control, or earn it on my own terms?

Jesus birth reminds us that, no matter how hard life is, we dont have to go through it alone. God has come to us full of grace and truth, and that brings us joy.

Success changes the weight you carry, not the work you avoid. In today's episode, Kevin and Alan cut through one of the most misunderstood ideas in self-improvement and personal development. Growth does not simplify your life. It sharpens it. The better you get, the more responsibility your decisions carry. The higher you climb, the more consistency and self-awareness are required to stay there. This conversation challenges surface-level motivation and reframes what real progress actually demands over the long term. If you are serious about personal development, disciplined decision-making, and building success you can sustain, this episode will reset your expectations. Listen carefully. Then decide if you are willing to carry what you are asking for._______________________Learn more about:Your first 30-minute “Business Breakthrough Session” call with Alan is FREE.

Re, KP, and Ray set the stage for the conversation by discussing the release of rapper Max B. They explore the cultural dynamics in the Black community where individuals returning home after long prison sentences often receive more public celebration than college graduates. They debate the historical, social, and cultural reasons for this phenomenon, touching on the idea that excitement is contagious and the individualized nature of college success.

Episode 5 of our Wild Invitation Series! Today we unpack one of our favorite stories in Acts—Paul and Silas worshiping in prison. We get real about what it looks like to choose praise even when life feels dark, painful, or disappointing. Worship isn't just a Sunday thing or something reserved for the mountaintops—it's a powerful weapon in the valleys too. Whether you're crying in your car or leading worship in your living room, this conversation is a reminder that worship repositions our hearts, fights back against the lies of the enemy, and invites the presence of God into our circumstances.

Today’s Bible Verse“For no word from God will ever fail.”‘I am the Lord’s servant,’ Mary answered. ‘May your word to me be fulfilled.’ — Luke 1:37–38 (NIV) Advent invites us into the same posture Mary embraced—trusting God when His plans feel overwhelming, unexpected, or far beyond our understanding. In Luke 1:37–38, Mary receives a calling that would reshape her entire life. Her response isn’t rooted in certainty or comfort, but in surrender.

Isaiah 52:1-12 Awake, awake, put on your strength, O Zion; put on your beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city; for there shall no more come into you the uncircumcised and the unclean. 2 Shake yourself from the dust and arise; be seated, O Jerusalem; loose the bonds from your neck, O captive daughter of Zion. 3 For thus says the Lord: “You were sold for nothing, and you shall be redeemed with-out money.” 4 For thus says the Lord God: “My people went down at the first into Egypt to sojourn there, and the Assyrian oppressed them for nothing. 5 Now therefore what have I here,” declares the Lord, “seeing that my people are taken away for noth-ing? Their rulers wail,” declares the Lord, “and continually all the day my name is des-pised. 6 Therefore my people shall know my name. Therefore in that day they shall know that it is I who speak; here I am.” 7 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news of happiness, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, “Your God reigns.” 8 The voice of your watchmen—they lift up their voice; together they sing for joy; for eye to eye they see the return of the Lord to Zion. 9 Break forth together into singing, you waste places of Jerusalem, for the Lord has comforted his people; he has redeemed Jerusalem. 10 The Lord has bared his holy arm before the eyes of all the nations, and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God. 11 Depart, depart, go out from there; touch no unclean thing; go out from the midst of her; purify yourselves, you who bear the vessels of the Lord. 12 For you shall not go out in haste, and you shall not go in flight, for the Lord will go before you, and the God of Israel will be your rear guard.

Get Daily Motivational Emails from Brian https://thesuccesslift.com/join    In The Success Lift Podcast, Brian Pannuzzo calls out the silent epidemic sabotaging high-performing men everywhere: being drunk on your circumstances. It's that foggy, numb state where your schedule, your stress, and your story feel so overwhelming that you convince yourself you're powerless. You burn out. You stall. You let another year slip by. In this hard-hitting episode, he breaks down why your circumstances aren't the problem. Your relationship with them is. He exposes how you rationalize your stagnation, why you cling to the fantasy of "January clarity," and how waiting for the perfect moment is quietly killing your momentum, your discipline, and your potential. Brian opens the curtain on his own journey, reveals the mindset shifts that saved his life, and hands you the exact steps to take TODAY (not next month!) to regain control of your story. If you're ready to stop numbing yourself with excuses and start operating like the man you know you can be, this is the episode you can't afford to skip.

In today's episode, I sit down with Sande Golgart, a global executive known for his people-first leadership and commitment to building high-performing cultures. We talk about fear as a constant companion in the human experience and how recognizing the instant, ego-driven reactions it creates can open the door to better choices. I share how simple tools like stop, drop, and roll guide me back toward my potential, and how non-negotiable habits keep me grounded when circumstances shift. Sande and I explore the impact of mission-driven living, the freedom that comes from removing resistance, and the role faith plays in expanding what's possible.

The Office of the Inspector General (OIG) report into Jeffrey Epstein's death delivers a blistering indictment of systemic failures at the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) and his holding facility. It documents a litany of procedural violations: Epstein's cellmate was removed and never replaced despite explicit policy, surveillance cameras in his unit were malfunctioning or not recording, and the staff responsible for required 30-minute checks on Epstein didn't perform them. Instead, employees falsified records indicating those rounds were completed, and in reality Epstein was alone and unchecked for hours before his death. These aren't isolated mistakes—they're classic symptoms of institutional collapse and neglect at a time when every safeguard should have been activated.Beyond the immediate night of his death, the report underscores a deeper rot: long-standing staffing shortages, indifferent supervision, and a culture that tolerated policy breaches without accountability. The OIG identifies that the same deficiencies had been raised in prior reports about the BOP, yet were never effectively addressed. By allowing one of the most high-profile detainees in the nation to slip through the cracks under such glaring conditions, the BOP didn't just fail Epstein—they failed the public trust and all the victims who sought justice.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:2 3 - 0 8 5 (justice.gov)
