Podcasts about Commitment

Got some sh!t to say?In this ENCORE episode, Marko and Steve dive deep into the dangers of complacency in relationships and how staying complacent in your single life can hinder personal growth. They start by defining complacency as a state of stagnation, and discuss moments in their lives where they may have been complacent by themselves or with a partner, and how they got past it. Are we at all guilty of experiencing mundanity or complacency in our lives? To wrap things up, they tackle the week's Listener Sh!tuation, offering their thoughts and guidance on a real life dilemma from the audience.-Articles:Marriage.com | 11 Signs of Complacency in a Relationship and Ways to Fix ItBetterHelp.com | The Impact Of Becoming Complacent In A Relationship And How To Overcome ItSupport the showSh!t | Leave us a voicemail with your relationship sh!tuation at (903) POD- SHIT.

Hanna Kok shares her expertise on the surprising link between forgiveness and physical health, revealing why holding onto grudges causes hormonal imbalances and weakens the immune system. We explore the scientific evidence behind this connection and discuss a practical method for making forgiveness easier.• When we hold grudges, our muscles tighten, restricting blood flow and nutrient delivery throughout the body• Brain function decreases dramatically during conflict—the prefrontal cortex (responsible for wisdom and problem-solving) can switch off up to 85%• Stress emotions attach to cell receptors, triggering responses that put cells in overdrive and eventually lead to health problems• Different organs are sensitive to specific emotions—the liver responds to anger, lungs to grief, and the gut to feelings of abuse• Unforgiveness reduces energy available for immune function, making us more susceptible to illness• The forgiveness method includes identifying what triggered you, recognizing what it reveals about your own healing needs, and seeing the situation as an opportunity for growth• Practical techniques for releasing unforgiveness include journaling, mirror work, and meditationFor more information on improving health through forgiveness, download Hannah's app at hannahcook.com or visit ithrive.zoneSend us a text

In this episode of Do The Work | Mindset Mastery I sat with a powerful question: What are your results really telling you about your commitment? Over the past six months, I've watched this organization hit record breaking numbers. It's been our most successful year yet not because the market gave us a break, but because individuals decided to make real, lasting commitments. Not talk. Not hype. But real follow-through. And I've felt it in every part of my life, not just business. I used to chase results thinking it was all about grinding harder. But what I've learned and what I've seen in the agents around me is that your results are never random. They are the byproduct of one thing: your level of commitment. Not your mood. Not your circumstances. Not what your spouse is doing or not doing. Just your commitment. This hit me even more when I got invited to play pickleball with my daughters. I almost said no. It was late, I had to wake up early the next day, and I had a full plate. But I realized something: the invite itself was the win. That invitation is the result of the time I've poured into that relationship. The way they love and respect me is not accidental. It's the fruit of showing up over and over again. And that's what this episode is all about. The results you have today in your health, your marriage, your business, your confidence they all come down to one thing: how committed you are and what you're doing about it. You can say you want something, but if your actions don't match up, the fruit doesn't lie. I've watched Carla say no over and over again to things that others give in to. And the result? Everyone wants to know how she looks the way she does. But they don't see the daily discipline. They don't see the Tupperware or the missed meals. That's what commitment looks like in action. I've said it before, and I'll say it again by their fruits, you shall know them. You can say you're committed, but your body, your bank account, your relationships, your business they will all tell the truth. This episode is an invitation to reflect. To take inventory. Because there's no success without sacrifice. And the gap between where you are and where you want to be? That's called work. Not just any work. The work. The intentional, consistent, focused kind that most people avoid because it forces them to face themselves. But that's the work I've chosen. That's what's created the results you see today. And the best part? You can do it too. But it starts with a decision. And then it moves with execution. Every day. Whether you feel like it or not. So what are you going to do about it? ### Reader Reflection Questions: Where in your life are you saying you're committed, but your results say otherwise? What decisions have you been avoiding that, if made today, would begin transforming your outcomes? How would your life change if you approached your relationships, business, and health with the same intensity and focus you say you want your results to reflect? ### Notable Quotes: “Show me your results and I'll show you your commitment.” “The win wasn't playing pickleball. The win was getting invited.” “By their fruits, you shall know them.” Let's go. Let's do the work. Follow A.Z. Araujo on Social Media: Instagram: @azaraujo Facebook: A.Z. Araujo TikTok: A.Z.

How can we keep Christ's commands if we feel so weak? We can't—at least, not in our own strength. But Jesus never asked us to. As we abide in Him, He enables us by His Spirit to walk as He walked. Through simple steps of memorizing, meditating, and setting our minds on His Word, He empowers a life of joyful obedience and deeper communion.In this series, we've seen that true love for Christ is shown by keeping His commandments—not to earn His favor, but because we already have it. As we treasure His Word, He transforms our minds, fills our hearts, and draws us into deeper intimacy. Obedience is not a burden, but a pathway into the joy and presence of the One we love.Want to go deeper in studying this command of Christ?

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageHave you ever stayed silent when something didn't seem right, just to avoid rocking the boat? Our latest Mojo Minute explores this universal tendency through a captivating story about a high school physics class, a covered telescope, and thirty-nine students who claimed to see planets that couldn't possibly be visible.This short but powerful episode unpacks a lesson from John Maxwell's "How Successful People Think" that perfectly illustrates how social conformity can blind us to obvious truths. When a physics teacher set up a telescope for students to observe planets, student after student pretended to see celestial bodies despite the lens cap remaining on the telescope! Only the second-to-last student had the courage to speak up about seeing nothing but darkness. This simple act of honesty revealed what now seems obvious - nobody could have seen anything at all.The courage to question, to seek clarity, and to speak up when something doesn't add up isn't about being difficult or contrarian. It's about approaching life with genuine curiosity and a sincere desire to understand. We explore how asking questions with the right tone and attitude can transform our relationships, deepen our understanding, and ultimately lead to a more flourishing life. When we break free from the pressure to go along with popular consensus and instead pursue authentic understanding, we often discover truths that have been hiding in plain sight.Key Points from the Episode:We explore how courage in questioning conventional wisdom leads to a flourishing life through a powerful story about a telescope demonstration gone wrong.• Professor Benno Mueller Hill's high school physics class telescope story where 39 students pretended to see planets despite the lens cap being on• How we often "go along to get along" instead of speaking up when something doesn't seem right• The importance of asking clarifying questions with genuine curiosity rather than to win arguments• Why questions asked with the right tone and sincere attitude can lead to better understanding• Commitment to asking good questions as a path to creating a flourishing lifeOther resources: Want to leave a review?

 In this episode of the Parsha Review Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe discusses Parshas Pinchas, focusing on the story of Pinchas's zealous act against Zimri and Cosbi, who publicly defied God's will by engaging in illicit relations, as described in Numbers 25. Rabbi Wolbe highlights the danger of blurring moral lines, as Zimri attempted by bringing a Moabite woman into the Jewish community, comparing it to Rebecca's relief upon learning her conflicting womb movements were due to twins with distinct destinies, not a single confused child. He emphasizes that clarity in commitment to Torah and mitzvahs is crucial, drawing parallels to Haman's and Amalek's attempts to assimilate and confuse the Jewish people, urging listeners to avoid compromise in spiritual matters and to define their stance firmly on the side of holiness and light.Rabbi Wolbe encourages small, intentional steps toward observance without compromising core commitments, using examples like health goals to illustrate the importance of mental resolve even if actions lag. He stresses the need for wisdom to distinguish between holy and unholy, as recited in Havdalah and Talmudic prayers, to avoid confusion. A story of a newly observant Jew publicly affirming their identity as a religious Jew underscores how verbalizing commitment clarifies one's path. Rabbi Wolbe concludes by urging listeners to manifest their spiritual goals through clear identification with Torah values, fostering a deeper connection to God and a purposeful Shabbos._____________This episode (Ep 7.38) of the Parsha Review Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe on Parshas Pinchas 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 July 16, 2025, in Passaic, New Jersey.Released as Podcast on July 18, 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.

I have been a teacher for 19 years in the DeKalb County School District, with nine years in the middle school setting, teaching all sciences and ten years at the high school level, teaching general and accelerated chemistry, AP chemistry, and forensic science. I earned my B.S. in chemistry from Xavier University of Louisiana, master's from Keller Graduate School in information systems, and an M.Ed. and Ed.S. in instructional technology from Kennesaw State University. I am a firm believer in leveraging my technology expertise to support my fellow peers while developing my students' skills. I have facilitated various professional development initiatives over the past decade. I have also presented at multiple levels, including both instructional technology and educational research conferences, at the local, state, national, and international levels.   During my tenure in my local school district, I was named Star Teacher in 2019, Stephenson High School's Teacher of the Year 2023- 2024, and the DeKalb County School District's High School Teacher of the Year 2023-2024. I have been granted the Explore Learning Leadership Award for Implementation in 2015 and 2016. I also earned the KSU's Bagwell Scholar Award in Spring 2022 while earning my specialist degree. I was also honored in the Georgia Senate with a Resolution for Stephenson's Teacher of the Year in 2024. I am currently a doctoral candidate at Kennesaw State University, maintaining a 4.0 GPA throughout my studies.   In my free time, I enjoy reading, listening to an eclectic array of music, spending time with my family and friends, and traveling whenever possible.   I was affected by Hurricane Katrina and had to take my last semester classes at Spelman College and Georgia State University. I must give credit where it's due. I successfully completed my BS while navigating that bump in the road, and I also pursued a doctoral degree while experiencing the loss of my sister and, subsequently, my father within 18 months.   Chapters 00:00 Introduction and Setting the Stage 02:50 Meet Ashley Thomas: A Journey in Education 05:42 The Decision to Join the Program 10:28 The Value of Community and Support 15:04 Navigating Personal Challenges 19:01 Experiencing the Writing Retreat 24:02 Investing in Your Future 24:31 Investing in Yourself 25:22 The Power of Community and Support 27:28 Planning for Success 30:31 The Importance of Outcome-Driven Goals 32:03 The Value of Group Coaching 35:19 Embracing Support and Vulnerability 39:08 Commitment to the Process 42:55 Taking the Leap: Just Do It
