Podcasts about Conviction

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Friday morning, the 30th of January, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in John 16:8-9:”And when He has come (that's the Holy Spirit) He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment of sin, because they do not believe in Me; …“ We want to speak this morning about the Holy Spirit. Oh, I love Him so much and the last thing I want to do is to offend Him because He has done so much for me. He is also the One who convicts me when I step out of line. He is like a proverbial heat-seeking missile. He'll find you out. It doesn't matter where you go. You can go into the deepest mine, He's there. You can go to the top of the highest mountain, yes He's there.He is a friend that sticks closer than a brother. Now if He's a friend, then He's going to tell you the truth because that's what friends do. So what He's saying to you and me this morning is for example, if you owe money, pay your debt. You say, ”I can't, I don't have the money.” Well, then go and speak to the debtor and explain it to him. Say, ”I'm not leaving the country. I'm not running away. I will pay you as soon as I can. Even if it's just a couple of dollars a month, I will pay you. I'll pay you interest as well.” Then he'll be happy, otherwise, he will throw you into jail.Watch out for familiarity. What does that mean? You have to work in an office with another lady, make sure it stays a business arrangement. Do not become familiar! My son told me a long time ago, he said, ”Dad, an affair doesn't just happen in an instant. No, it takes lots of time. You start to know each other, then you start to have a cup of coffee together, then you take each other home, saving petrol, and then you don't go home for lunch because you can just have lunch at the canteen and then the next thing, you are having an affair and that is tragic.Accountability is so important. What does that mean? I will not go on a campaign overseas or even in the country on my own. Why? Because if I go with someone else, they can always hold me accountable, so it doesn't matter where I go they go with me. Into the restaurant, when we're waiting at the gate to board the aeroplane, at least one man because the devil is a thief and a liar. If you get yourself into a compromised position with another person, there is no-one to stand up for you. It's her word against yours, or it's his word against yours, but if there's two of you the other person can say, ”No, he didn't do anything wrong. That person threw themselves at him.” Beware of a seared conscience that gets you used to breaking the law a little bit, then a little bit more, until you end up in jail. Don't do that. Listen to the Holy Spirit! He will convict you and then you listen to what He is saying.Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day.Goodbye.

How “spaciousness” helps teams move beyond busywork — and build the conditions for honest conversation.“We're just so busy right now” is one of the most common reasons cultures don't change — and it's exactly what Megan Reitz set out to understand. In her research, she describes two modes of attention at work: doing mode, where focus narrows to tasks, control, and quick progress, and spacious mode, where attention expands, insight emerges, and real connection becomes possible.Reitz is a leadership researcher whose work explores how people speak up, listen well, and create environments where others can be heard — because, as she puts it, “how you show up affects the voices of the people around you.” When teams are anxious or rushed, attention tightens and listening gets shallow; when there's more safety and space, people can pause, widen their perspective, and make better choices together.In this Quick Thinks episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Reitz and host Matt Abrahams discuss why organizations get stuck in doing mode and what it takes to build spacious agility. They share practical ways to name spaciousness, strengthen psychological safety, introduce healthy dissonance (even through assigned roles like devil's advocate), and respond in ways that keep people speaking up — not shutting down.Episode Reference Links:Megan ReitzMegan's Book: Speak Out, Listen UpEp.132 Lean Into Failure: How to Make Mistakes That WorkEp.148 Conviction and Compassion: How to Have Hard Conversations Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:10) - Doing Mode vs. Spacious Mode (02:13) - Building Agility Between Modes (12:56) - Creating Psychological Safety (19:14) - Conclusion  ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.This episode is brought to you by Babbel.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Read more about Project23 and partner with us as we teach every verse of the Bible on video. Our text today is 1 Corinthians 2:14. You've probably felt this before—trying to share something God is doing in your life, only to be met with a blank stare. Maybe they look confused. Maybe uninterested. Maybe they just don't feel what you feel. Paul explains exactly why that happens. The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned. — 1 Corinthians 2:14 This verse is both clarifying and comforting. Clarifying because it explains the disconnect. Comforting because it reminds you the issue isn't you. Paul's point is simple: spiritual truth requires spiritual sight. Without the Spirit, the gospel sounds odd… Grace feels unnecessary… Obedience looks restrictive… Conviction feels offensive… And spiritual wisdom seems foolish. It's not that people are too smart for God. It's that without His Spirit, they simply can't see what you see. You can't expect natural eyes to recognize supernatural truth. And here's the part we often forget: The fact that you "get it" is evidence that God opened your eyes. You didn't figure out the gospel — the Spirit revealed it. You didn't create a hunger for truth — the Spirit stirred it. You didn't suddenly value holiness — the Spirit changed your heart. What feels obvious to you now was once impossible for you to understand. So instead of frustration with those who don't get it, let this verse shape you toward compassion. Toward patience. Toward prayer. Toward hope. God opened your eyes. And He can open theirs. And this truth also builds confidence in your own walk: You're not crazy for believing what you believe. You're awakened. Spiritual things make sense because the Spirit is at work in you. You see what you never used to see. You value what you never used to value. You understand what you never used to understand. That's not foolishness. That's transformation. DO THIS: Think of one person who doesn't "get" your faith. Pray, "Spirit, open their eyes the way You opened mine." Then show them patience today. ASK THIS: Who in your life doesn't understand spiritual things — and needs patience instead of pressure from you? What spiritual truth used to seem foolish before God opened your eyes? How does this verse grow compassion in you? PRAY THIS: Spirit, thank You for opening my eyes. Give me compassion for those who can't yet see what You've shown me. Use my life as a gentle witness today. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)"

Jeffrey Deskovic's life changed forever when he was convicted of a murder he did not commit at just 17 years old. He maintained his innocence for the next 16 years and then, with the help of the Innocence Project, the real person responsible was finally caught and Jeff was released from prison. Now you may be asking yourself, 'Hey, how is this a GOOD story?' The answer is found in what Jeff did after this all happened: He went to law school, became an attorney and founded the Deskovic Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to the exoneration of the wrongfully convicted, their recovery, and reform of the system. This is one person's journey from the darkest of places to finding and creating his own light and we gotta tell ya, it doesn't get much more inspiring than this.

It's an intense time in our country and the world right now, and caring deeply about what's happening can sometimes pull us into self-righteousness without us realizing it. On this episode, I talk about the difference between self-righteousness and healthy conviction, why self-righteousness is so tempting during challenging times (in the world, at work, and in life), and how we can stay grounded in our values without hardening, disconnecting, or losing our humanity.   Resources: We're All in This Together (book), by Mike Robbins Mike Robbins Website Mike Robbins Blog Mike Robbins Podcast Mike Robbins on LinkedIn Mike Robbins on Instagram Mike Robbins on Facebook Mike Robbins YouTube Channel Mike Robbins on TikTok Mike Robbins on X Mike Robbins on BlueSky  

The Full Moon in Leo on February 1 is the lead-up to some of the most powerful and transformative Astrology of the year. It is the last lunation before eclipse season as well as a host of powerful aspects that occur mid-month. The Full Moon itself is a powerful time to speak out with courage and conviction. Leo is a fixed Fire sign and does not back down when it believes in something. This is a powerful time to use your voice or express what is on your heart, another Leo theme. This Full Moon opposes Venus, planet of relationships and harmony, just after opposing Mars and Pluto. This lunation seems to be about conflict and asserting oneself, but also about building bridges and connecting with community. What does this mean for your sign? What is the Astrology that we can expect in the collective under this energy?Enjoy the forecast!Book a Reading or Work With Me:www.dogstaroracle.comNeptune in Aries Horoscopes:https://youtu.be/cNvq74UlJQU?si=yON_YDhAPqc0bZWG2026 Astrology Podcast:https://youtu.be/CAYNQjdOc9U?si=0mTBYZE9vJRVCP-xEmail and Social Media:Email: akriech@dogstaroracle.comInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/stories/dogstaroracle/Timestamps:0:00 Title02:16 Aquarius Season Recap10:22 Full Moon in Leo 18:21 Neptune in Aries22:20 Mercury in Pisces25:07 Venus in Pisces26:49 Horoscopes Begin28:01 Aries30:57 Taurus33:47 Gemini37:15 Cancer40:10 Leo 44:09 Virgo 47:32 Libra 51:30 Scorpio56:32 Sagittarius57:46 Capricorn01:00:52 Aquarius01:05:08 Pisces

Sonny Von Cleveland opens up about serving nearly two decades in prison and the harsh realities of being young, white, and unprepared for prison life. Pulled into violence and survival politics at an early age, Sonny breaks down what it really takes to make it through long prison sentences, the fear, the mistakes, and the lessons learned the hard way behind bars. He speaks candidly about navigating race, identity, and power inside prison, how incarceration forced him to confront his past, and the mindset shift that ultimately saved his life. Today, Sonny has transformed his story into purpose as a speaker, mentor, and community leader, proving that even the darkest chapters don't have to define how the story ends. _____________________________________________ #PrisonSurvival #MichiganPrison #PrisonLife #TrueCrime #LifeInPrison #PrisonStories #SurvivingPrison #incarceration _____________________________________________ Connect with Sonny Von Cleveland: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sonnyvonclevelandofficial/ Website: https://www.sonnyvoncleveland.com/ _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Shop Locked In Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 First Days in Prison: Shock, Fear, and Survival 02:00 Growing Up in the Midwest Before Prison 06:40 Family Trauma, Abuse, and a Broken Childhood 12:00 Surviving Abuse and Learning to Cope 17:00 Running Away, Street Life, and Early Crime 21:00 The Road to Prison: Charges, Conviction, and Sentencing 24:40 Entering Adult Prison for the First Time 26:00 Prison Violence, Gangs, and Losing Innocence 31:30 Regret, Lost Youth, and Missed Chances 35:40 Solitary Confinement, System Failures, and Mental Survival 41:00 Release, Reoffending, and a Second Prison Sentence 46:00 Life After Release: Family Conflict, Crime, and Betrayal 52:00 Solitary Confinement, Transformation, and Forgiveness 59:00 Self-Reflection, Growth, and Mental Survival in Prison 01:03:00 Teaching Others, Service, and Finding Purpose Behind Bars 01:09:00 Leaving Gang Life and Choosing a Different Path 01:14:00 Reentry After Prison: Starting Over From Nothing 01:19:00 Using His Story to Help Others Avoid Prison 01:22:00 Final Advice, Redemption, and Life's True Purpose Learn more about your ad choices.

Why it's critical to say what needs to be said — and listen when others do the same.Speak out, listen up — these are Megan Reitz's core pillars of workplace communication. According to her, healthy organizations are only possible when everyone can say what they think, and they know they'll be heard.Reitz is an academic and author whose work focuses on creating workplaces where all voices are heard and valued. Her latest book, Speak Out, Listen Up, explores the power dynamics that shape our communication at work and beyond. “Conversational habits define organizational success and our capacity to flourish,” she says. “Ethical conduct depends on what we're able to say and what we aren't, and whether we're heard or not. Innovation depends on our capacity to speak up, challenge, and disrupt, and whether that is heard or not. And of course, our engagement and our ability to perform depends on a feeling that our opinion is valued and that we're respected.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Reitz and host Matt Abrahams discuss how to create workplaces where every voice is heard. From her T.R.U.T.H. framework (trust, risk, understanding, titles, and how-to) to the pitfalls of communicational power dynamics, Reitz's insights reveal why healthy organizations are only possible when we all speak out and listen up.Episode Reference Links:Megan ReitzMegan's Book: Speak Out, Listen UpEp.132 Lean Into Failure: How to Make Mistakes That Work Ep.148 Conviction and Compassion: How to Have Hard Conversations Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:21) - The TRUTH Framework (05:32) - Status, Titles, and Voice (09:21) - Power Traps For Leaders (14:06) - Mindful Leadership = Habit Change (18:35) - The Final Three Questions (25:46) - Conclusion ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.Strawberry.me.

Week 3 of the series " Beneath the Surface", contrasts the destructive power of shame with the redemptive purpose of conviction, showing that shame tells us we are wrong while conviction lovingly reveals that something we did was wrong and invites us toward life with Jesus. Through John 8 and the story of the woman caught in adultery, we see how Jesus responds to both self-righteous religious leaders and exposed sinners with conviction—not condemnation—offering freedom, honesty, and transformation. Shame isolates, distorts identity, and drives us to hide, but conviction is evidence of God's love, calling us out of hiding and into grace, repentance, and restored relationship. Jesus ultimately absorbs our shame on the cross, putting it to death so we no longer have to live under its weight. The core invitation is clear: reject the spiral of shame, respond to conviction with humility, and step into the abundant life of grace that Jesus offers.

Nehemiah 8:1–128 And all the people gathered as one man into the square before the Water Gate. And they told Ezra the scribe to bring the Book of the Law of Moses that the Lord had commanded Israel. 2 So Ezra the priest brought the Law before the assembly, both men and women and all who could understand what they heard, on the first day of the seventh month. 3 And he read from it facing the square before the Water Gate from early morning until midday, in the presence of the men and the women and those who could understand. And the ears of all the people were attentive to the Book of the Law. 4 And Ezra the scribe stood on a wooden platform that they had made for the purpose. And beside him stood Mattithiah, Shema, Anaiah, Uriah, Hilkiah, and Maaseiah on his right hand, and Pedaiah, Mishael, Malchijah, Hashum, Hashbaddanah, Zechariah, and Meshullam on his left hand. 5 And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people, for he was above all the people, and as he opened it all the people stood. 6 And Ezra blessed the Lord, the great God, and all the people answered, “Amen, Amen,” lifting up their hands. And they bowed their heads and worshiped the Lord with their faces to the ground. 7 Also Jeshua, Bani, Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, the Levites, helped the people to understand the Law, while the people remained in their places. 8 They read from the book, from the Law of God, clearly, and they gave the sense, so that the people understood the reading.This Day Is Holy 9 And Nehemiah, who was the governor, and Ezra the priest and scribe, and the Levites who taught the people said to all the people, “This day is holy to the Lord your God; do not mourn or weep.” For all the people wept as they heard the words of the Law. 10 Then he said to them, “Go your way. Eat the fat and drink sweet wine and send portions to anyone who has nothing ready, for this day is holy to our Lord. And do not be grieved, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.” 11 So the Levites calmed all the people, saying, “Be quiet, for this day is holy; do not be grieved.” 12 And all the people went their way to eat and drink and to send portions and to make great rejoicing, because they had understood the words that were declared to them. Introduction: Revival & the WordHistorical Context: A Rebuilt Wall and a Rebuilt People The Centrality of the Word (Nehemiah 8:1–3)The Proclamation of the Word (Nehemiah 8:4–6) The Explanation of the Word (Nehemiah 8:7–8)The Word Produces Conviction Before Joy (Nehemiah 8:9)Joy Flows from Grace and Understanding (Nehemiah 8:10–12)Conclusion: A Call to Word-Centered Renewal

It's official. The South Carolina Supreme Court has set February 11th, 2026, as the date for oral arguments in Alex Murdaugh's appeal. And the timing couldn't be more significant.Just two months ago, former Colleton County Clerk of Court Becky Hill pled guilty to perjury, obstruction of justice, and two counts of misconduct in office. She admitted to lying under oath at the very hearing that denied Murdaugh a new trial. Now his attorneys are asking the Supreme Court to add her guilty plea to the appeal record — arguing that if she lied about one thing under oath, her denials about jury tampering can't be trusted either.Today we break down what's actually at stake on February 11th. The defense is running two consolidated appeals: one challenging alleged jury tampering by Becky Hill, and another challenging Judge Clifton Newman's decision to allow extensive financial crimes testimony as motive evidence. The prosecution says the evidence was overwhelming and the jury convicted Murdaugh because he was "obviously guilty."We walk through the critical legal question: Does South Carolina apply the federal standard for jury tampering — where any attempt to influence a jury is presumed prejudicial — or the state standard that Toal applied, requiring proof that tampering actually changed a vote?We also explain why this appeal matters even though Murdaugh will never get out of prison regardless. He's already serving 27 years for financial crimes. His attorneys say this is about the integrity of fair trials in South Carolina.The hearing will be livestreamed and open to the public. A decision could take weeks or months. And if Murdaugh loses, he's already signaled federal court is next. #TrueCrimeToday #AlexMurdaugh #BeckyHill #MurdaughAppeal #SupremeCourt #JuryTampering #SouthCarolina #TrueCrime #MurdaughTrial #BreakingNewsJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

I had the pleasure of co-hosting another episode of Excess Returns with Matt Zeigler.In this episode of Excess Returns, we sit down with Gary Mishuris, Managing Partner and CIO of Silver Ring Value Partners, to explore how deep fundamental analysis, behavioral insight, and disciplined process come together in real-world investing. Gary shares formative lessons from his early career at Fidelity during the post-tech bubble period, including firsthand experiences learning from legends like Peter Lynch, and connects those lessons to how he evaluates value, quality, and mispricing today. The conversation spans a detailed case study on Warner Bros. Discovery, portfolio construction under uncertainty, selective use of options, and how artificial intelligence is reshaping the research process for long-term investors.Available now on Excess Returns Podcast and Talking Billions.

We talk about how bad messaging, cringe behavior, and ideological shortcuts can tank movements, including a wild DSA mishap. Pulling from Max Weber, history, and everyday politics, we argue that real progress comes down to considering real consequences and what a majority of people can actually get behind. In the Backroom, Dave and I continue our spicy conversation on “Progress and Reaction,” taking a deeper look at how parts of the left end up functioning as “shocktroops for capital.”Timestamps: 0:00 Trump's ICE Raids (Preview)3:43  The Importance of Radical Responsibility 30:45 The Responsibility of the Radical Right53:04 DSA Disaster 1:09:14 Nick Fuentes' Rise 1:25:49 Ends, means, & Intentions: The Ethics of Conviction vs ResponsibilityGUEST:David McKerracher (Theory Underground)• Theory Underground (YouTube): https://www.youtube.com/@theory_underground• McKerracher of TU (X): https://x.com/theoryundrgrnd• Theory Underground (Substack): https://theoryunderground.substack.com/• Underground Theory Volume 2 on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FZBNYSF9FOLLOW 1Dime:• Substack (Articles and Essays): https://1dimereview.substack.com• X/Twitter: https://x.com/1DimeOfficial• Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tonyof1dime/• Check out my main channel videos: https://www.youtube.com/@1DimeeLeave a like, drop a comment, and give the show a 5-star rating on Spotify, Apple, or wherever you listen to this.

In this deeply human episode, my client Founder and CEO Denise Gosnell shares how she went from zero revenue and feeling the constant pressure to prove herself, to building a multiple 6-figure business, and finally feeling calm in her own skin,  all in just 90 days!You'll hear what it looks like when a high-achieving executive stops leading from fear and starts creating from deep conviction in herself. For Denise, that meant forgiving and releasing the patterns from society and family that kept her chasing more success, and learning to trust herself again.This is not another “success story.” It's a blueprint for the new paradigm of leadership: where your results expand as you come into deeper alignment with who you truly are.Because when you stop second-guessing every move, pushing through exhaustion, and trying to prove your worth, you start leading from trust instead of anxiety. And that's when your results come with ease. The big revenue goals, the deeper love, the grounded calm you've craved to feel every day….they all start to unfold.Follow Denise Gosnell:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/denisekgosnellWebsite: https://denisegosnell.aiSubstack: https://substack.com/@denisegosnell

Faith communities across Minnesota are facing a hard question: What happens when federal immigration enforcement collides with religious conviction?A recent protest inside a church has also raised questions about free speech, religious freedom and the role of faith leaders in moments of moral conflict.MPR News guest host Catharine Richert explores how churches and other religious communities are responding to the legal and moral questions raised by federal actions in Minnesota and why immigration enforcement has become such a flashpoint for people of faith.

Most fitness businesses don't fail because of effort.They fail because the system was never designed to scale.If you're still:• “Trying harder”• Tweaking ads without structure• Relying on motivation instead of infrastructure…this video will expose exactly why that approach breaks.Inside this breakdown, we dismantle the biggest lie in the fitness industry:

What happens when you leave a steady 17-year career… and step into a commission-only world with setbacks, doubt, and a whole new learning curve? In this episode of the Life Insurance Academy Podcast, we sit down with Brian Jackson—former deputy sheriff turned life insurance agent—to talk about the real transition: the mindset shift, the "part-time with full-time commitment" approach, and what it takes to keep moving forward when the early days are rough. We dig into: How Brian went from law enforcement to insurance (and why alignment at home matters) The "what if" trap (fear + regret) — and how to flip it into "what if it works?" Why conviction (not persuasion) is what makes business stick The power of raising the stakes by getting clients to talk about their family The role of community + bootcamps in building confidence, consistency, and production Brian's personal wake-up call: a massive heart attack at 38—and how it changed everything If you're a new agent (or you've been taking hits lately), this one is a reminder: it's hard… but it's worth it.

We'll talk about the difference between calm certainty and needy selling, why customers can feel desperation instantly, and how true belief in your offer multiplies trust on the doors.I'll explain how conviction increases perceived likelihood of achieving whatever it is the customer is wanting without changing the product, and share real door-to-door examples of what conviction sounds like versus commission-driven energy.If you want easier closes, better conversations, and more respect from customers, this episode will change how you sell.Hope you enjoy.

Are your injectors and estheticians acting like experts, or are they acting like customer service associates at a hardware store? In this episode, I share an "aha moment" from my home renovation that reveals why many MedSpa teams struggle to sell high-ticket plans. I share why your patients don't need order-takers, they need experts who hold the vision for their transformation, why "being nice" by under-recommending is actually unkind, how uncertainty in the consult erodes trust, and what it really takes to lead with conviction. Get ready to stop reacting to patient requests and start leading with the conviction of a premium interior designer.    HIGHLIGHTS Why showing up like a "customer service associate" erodes trust and authority. What my interior designer taught me about "holding the line" on a vision. The 3 shifts that increase results and lifetime value. How forecasting and follow-up turn recommendations into real outcomes.

Who's to blame for the Robert Durst Murders and his delayed Conviction?Happy 2026 Alarmy. We're back! This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) discusses the enigma that is Robert Durst. Obviously we know who's responsible for his crimes. But, who's to blame for his extremely delayed conviction? Could Durst's nefarious charisma have something to do with it? Are his lawyers and loyalists responsible? Perhaps a lifetime of lying allowed him the ability to convince almost anyone of his innocence.

There's a difference between remembering your past and being haunted by it.In this episode, I talk about the narrow road of discipleship—between spiritual amnesia and shame—and why God actually calls us to look back from time to time. Not to punish ourselves, but to remember His faithfulness.When we look back the right way, one of two things happens:Gratitude, when we see how far God has brought us.Repentance, when we realize we've drifted or stalled.What it should never lead to is shame.Conviction is an invitation from God.Shame is a verdict from the enemy.If you're growing, let gratitude fuel you forward.If you feel further from God than ever, today is the day to return—not to hide.Jesus is still inviting you back.

Chase Chrisley opens up to Ian Bick about his upbringing, growing up on reality television, and how fame at a young age shaped his life and decisions. He talks about leaving college, the pressures of being in the public eye, and how his struggles with drinking escalated as his family faced intense legal battles. Chase shares what it was like watching his parents' arrest, trial, and eventual prison sentence, and how visiting them behind bars took a heavy emotional toll that pushed his drinking even further. He also reflects on the moment everything changed — from his parents being pardoned to finally confronting his addiction, getting sober, and rebuilding his life with clarity and purpose. _____________________________________________ #ChaseChrisley #ChrisleyKnowsBest #RealityTV #CelebrityInterview #LifeAfterFame #AddictionRecovery #SobrietyJourney #truestory _____________________________________________ Thank you to GOLD DROP SELTZERS for sponsoring this episode: Head to https://www.thedryoak.com/ and use promo code LOCKEDIN at checkout for 10% off your order. _____________________________________________ Connect with Chase Chrisley: https://www.instagram.com/chasechrisley/?hl=en _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ Shop Locked In Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop _____________________________________________` Timestamps: 00:00 Drinking, Family Pressure & Life in the Spotlight 01:00 Chase Chrisley's Childhood & Growing Up on Reality TV 05:00 Fame at a Young Age: Friends, School & Social Life 10:00 Early Partying, Alcohol & Family Dynamics 15:00 College Years & Early Signs of Trouble 20:00 Living Through the Indictment, Trial & Legal Battles 25:00 Conviction, Sentencing & Impact on the Family 31:00 Alcohol Abuse After Sentencing & Emotional Fallout 35:00 Rock Bottom, Addiction & the Decision to Get Sober 40:00 Visiting Parents in Prison & Public Scrutiny 46:00 Presidential Pardon & A Family's Second Chance 50:00 Rehab, Recovery & Rebuilding Life 55:00 Life After Sobriety: Lessons, Growth & Moving Forward Learn more about your ad choices.

#753 Ready to launch your business? In this powerful kickoff, host Justin Williams bring you Module 1: Lesson 1 of Millionaire University's Build My Money Machine program! In this episode, we unpack one of the most important mindsets in entrepreneurship: the belief that anyone can and should start a business and build wealth. You'll hear why this core principle is often the difference between those who succeed and those who stall out — plus a few wild stories from the road, including an unforgettable encounter with a group we call the “yeah-butters.” We also draw parallels to history-making moments, like the moon landing, to show how strong conviction can turn the impossible into the inevitable.

Johnny then jumps (yes, he's back, praise God!!) and shares his takeaways from Hebrews, learning obedience through suffering, that Good News is for EVERYBODY (including, you, the listener) and we go all over the place from there. This is an epic episode: thought provoking conversation, great detours, real issues, many laughs and lots to think about.

Send us a textThis is the first episode in our two-part discussion with Tom Hayes, who we first spoke with in April 2025.  At the time of our first discussion with Tom, recorded in Part 1 of this series, Tom was awaiting a decision of the United Kingdom's Supreme Court on the appeal of his August 2015 conviction, arising from his work submitting rates on behalf of bank he worked for, which were used to determine the London Interbank Offered Rate (or, LIBOR)—a benchmark rate, to which many other financial instruments were connected.In Part 1, we hear from Tom about his fall from the high-end life of an international banker earning a handsome salary in Japan, and how it all came to a screeching halt on August 3, 2015.  On that day, Tom was convicted by a jury, in the United Kingdom, of a conspiracy to defraud.  The allegation was that Tom and others had submitted rates to benefit the financial institutions they worked for, instead of providing more accurate rates.  For that conduct—what the prosecution characterized as a “manipulation” of LIBOR—Tom was sentenced to 14 years in prison, subsequently reduced to 11 years in prison, of which he ultimately served about 5. 

Send us a textThis is Part 2 of our two-part discussion with Tom Hayes, the now vindicated former English banker, who we first spoke with in April 2025.  At the time of that earlier discussion with Tom, in Part 1 of this series, Tom was awaiting a decision of the United Kingdom's Supreme Court on the appeal of his August 2015 conviction, arising from his work submitting rates, on behalf of his employer, a bank, that were used to determine the London Interbank Offered Rate (or, LIBOR)—a benchmark rate, to which many other financial instruments were connected.The allegation was that Tom, and others, had manipulated their submission of rates to benefit the financial institutions they worked for.  For that conduct—what the prosecution characterized as a “manipulation” of LIBOR—Tom was sentenced to 14 years in prison, subsequently reduced to 11 years in prison, of which he ultimately served about 5. But a parallel prosecution in the United States against two other traders, brought by the U.S. Department of Justice, was dismissed, following a favorable decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in 2022.  At the time of our discussion with Tom in Part 1, the United Kingdom remained the only jurisdiction that viewed Tom's conduct as criminal.  That is, until his conviction—and the conviction of another trader, Carlo Palumbo—were overturned by a unanimous UK Supreme Court on July 23, 2025.  We caught up with Tom after this tremendous reprieve.

Why it's not about being born a great communicator, but becoming one.The greatest communicators aren't always great from the start. As Lerone Martin knows, even the great Martin Luther King Jr. had to practice before he could persuade.Martin is the Martin Luther King Jr. Centennial Professor at Stanford, and as director of the King Research and Education Institute, he has spent years studying how King developed his brilliant communication that continues to captivate audiences to this day. “This is a skill that Martin developed over years,” Martin says. “There are stories of him practicing in the mirror... And I think it speaks to us about how we can develop this skill over time.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Martin and host Matt Abrahams unpack the techniques behind King's legendary speeches, from the musicality of his voice to his use of repetition and narrative structure. Whether you're preparing a speech or building conversation skills, Martin highlights King's example to show that great communication isn't always born — it's built.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Lerone MartinEp.192 Quick Thinks: How to Supersize Your Stories Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:50) - Why MLK Was So Compelling (04:17) - MLK's Early Speaking Struggles (05:49) - How MLK Practiced and Improved (06:44) - Favorite MLK Speech (07:58) - “I Have A Dream” and Prepared Spontaneity (10:03) - MLK's Core Techniques (13:01) - Repetition, Rhythm, and Momentum (15:30) - Conviction vs. Performative Messaging (19:00) - The Final Three Questions (23:35) - Conclusion ********This episode is sponsored by Grammarly.

In this conversation, Creighton Bertrand shares his journey into manhood — navigating confusion, responsibility, faith, and identity in a culture that often leaves men without clear direction. We talk about why so many men feel stuck or lost, the cost of avoiding responsibility, and how true masculinity is formed through commitment, discipline, and purpose. This episode is a call for men to grow up, take ownership of their lives, and step fully into the kind of man they were created to be.   Know more about Sathiya's work: Join DEEP CLEAN SIGNATURE PROGRAM Join Deep Clean Inner Circle - The Brotherhood You Neeed (+ get coached by Sathiya) For Less Than $2/day Submit Your Questions (Anonymously) To Be Answered On The Podcast Get A Free Copy of The Last Relapse, Your Blueprint For Recovery Watch Sathiya on Youtube For More Content Like This   Want to know more about Creighton?

Todd Chrisley opens up to Ian Bick about his upbringing, building a successful business, and raising his children while living in the public eye. He breaks down how his legal troubles began, what it was like going to trial, and the moment he was sentenced to prison. Todd shares how he survived behind bars, the lessons prison forced him to learn, and stories from inside that changed his perspective on life and family. He also reflects on the experience of being pardoned, rebuilding after incarceration, and what the entire journey taught him about accountability, resilience, and starting over. _____________________________________________ #ToddChrisley #PrisonStory #TrueCrime #LifeAfterPrison #SurvivingPrison #RealStories #CelebrityInterview #youtubepodcast _____________________________________________ Thank you to GOLD DROP SELTZERS, FACTOR & PRIZEPICKS for sponsoring this episode: GOLD DROP SELTZERS: Head to https://www.thedryoak.com/ and use promo code LOCKEDIN at checkout for 10% off your order.

This episode is for anyone trying to close the belief gap, especially founders, leaders, and high performers. You will learn practical ways to calm your nervous system, reprogram automatic reactions, and take small actions that build real confidence over time. About the Guest: Patrick J. Sweeney II is the author of Fear is Fuel and shares research-driven insights on how the brain processes fear, belief, and decision-making, including lessons from founder and leadership environments. Key Takeaways: Conviction is trainable: your brain can learn belief through repeated aligned action Use 4x4 breathing to signal safety and slow the fight-or-flight response Smiling (even forced) can reduce stress response and lower fear reactivity Time-box fear by focusing only on the next small window, not the whole challenge Reprogram snap judgments with curiosity: “What can I admire here?” Strategy is rarely the real block; belief and internal safety often are How to Connect With the Guest: Website: https://www.thefounderscreed.com/  (free first chapter) Instagram: The Fear Guru LinkedIn: The Fear Guru   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

What is the difference between a belief and a conviction?

On Halloween night of 1992 something happened that divided the small farming town of Kipling, Saskatchewan. A young single mother accused the town's well respected doctor of sexual assault while under his care. Wanting to save his reputation, the doctor took a blood test to prove his DNA was not a match for the samples found during the performance of a sexual assault exam. It was not a match. Despite this, Candice, the accuser, was adamant about what had happened.
