The Seven Attitudes of a Discerning Heart with Kris McGregor Courage Courage is the third attitude of a discerning heart.

In 1633, Galileo Galilei was condemned by the Roman Inquisition for teaching that the Earth revolves around the Sun. His defiance became a symbol of individual conscience against powerful institutions. On this episode of The Chris Spangle Show, we explore the history of individualism versus collectivism — from Socrates to the Stoics, from Christianity and the Reformation to Enlightenment thinkers such as John Locke and John Stuart Mill, and into the American founding. We also explore libertarian principles of ethical individualism, free speech, and personal responsibility, contrasting them with the dangers of conformity, censorship, and control inherent in collectivism.

In this episode, Tracy and I break down why leaders cling to stories instead of facts, how “no one wants to work” is rarely true, and why 89% turnover in 90 days doesn't mean failure—it means you're solving the wrong problem. We dig into the hidden costs of poor onboarding, why perfection is the enemy of progress, and how small experiments compound into lasting change.We also role-play the hard conversations most leaders avoid: asking for resources, addressing pay gaps, and backing process changes. Tracy shows how turning impact into a clear request transforms whining into influence—and why fear of tough conversations keeps organizations stuck in chaos.The throughline: stop venting, start requesting. Systems won't fix themselves, people won't magically stay, and sales numbers don't rise just because you hope they will. Elite leadership is having the clarity and courage to pitch the real solution.TL;DR* Complaints hide requests: Every gripe signals an unmet need—translate it into a clear ask.* Facts over stories: “No one wants to work” → actually 89% quit in 90 days, but 11% stayed. Find the real cause.* Perfection kills momentum: Incremental fixes beat waiting for the flawless solution.* Onboarding matters: Most “lazy hires” are system failures, not people failures.* Courage in conversations: Leaders stall not because they lack answers, but because they fear asking for change.* Compounding gains: Small, repeatable improvements snowball into massive organizational shifts.Memorable lines* “Every complaint is a poorly worded request.”* “If perfect is the standard, walk out the door now—you'll never reach it.”* “The biggest leap isn't good to great, it's chaos to not that bad.”* “Tough isn't stubborn—tough is smart clarity backed by courage.”GuestTracy Austin — Leadership consultant focused on trade industries and frontline retention. She helps organizations cut turnover, build onboarding systems, and transform complaints into action.

One person at a time, change begins within our own communities...

Read OnlineHerod the tetrarch heard about all that was happening, and he was greatly perplexed because some were saying, “John has been raised from the dead”; others were saying, “Elijah has appeared”; still others, “One of the ancient prophets has arisen.” Luke 9:7–8Herod the tetrarch, also known as Herod Antipas, ruled the Jews of Galilee for some forty-two years. He began his reign in 2 BC and continued to reign until he was exiled by the Roman Emperor in 37 AD. During his reign, he spent much time in Tiberias, one of the main cities on the western edge of the Sea of Galilee. Most of Jesus' ministry took place within the region of Herod's domain, all of Galilee, so Herod was very aware of the many stories about Jesus.Today's Gospel concludes by saying that Herod kept trying to see Jesus. Of course, Herod, just like anyone living in that region, could have traveled to where Jesus was preaching so as to listen to Him at any time. But he didn't do that. Instead, he continued to receive reports about Jesus and remained curious about Him, trying to find a way to figure out Who Jesus was.Try to imagine what would have happened if Herod would have traveled to where Jesus was preaching so as to listen to Him with an open heart. If he would have done that, and truly listened, Herod would have received one of the greatest gifts imaginable. He would have received the gift of faith and conversion and would have begun down the road toward eternal salvation. But Herod was living an immoral life. He was known to be a cruel leader and also an unrepentant adulterer. He loved his power and was quite jealous of it. Herod most likely knew, at least in the back of his mind, that if he were to listen to Jesus, he would have to change. And he most likely didn't want to change.This presents us all with a powerful lesson. Each one of us can easily dismiss various communications and invitations from our Lord, because, deep down, we do not want to change. God is speaking to us all day long, every day of our lives. He is constantly offering us His message of the full Gospel. And though you may be open to much of what God says, there are most likely parts of His divine message that you either knowingly or unknowingly do not listen to. The key to being able to hear everything that God wants to speak to you is to be disposed to completely change in any and every way that God wants you to change.Reflect, today, upon Herod. First, reflect upon his curiosity about Jesus. This is a good quality, in that it's much better than being indifferent. From there, think also about the fact that Herod never went to Jesus to listen to Him. His first meeting with Jesus was on the night of His arrest, when he interrogated our Lord and made fun of Him. As you consider Herod's obstinacy, use it as an examination of your own life. Where you see any small reflection of obstinacy, fear of change or a closed heart, seek to remedy that by turning to our Lord telling Him you are open to all He wishes to say and that you are ready and willing to change in any way He calls you to do so. Do not fear the change our Lord wants of you. Embracing that change will land you on the quick and narrow road toward true holiness of life.My ever-present Lord, You call to me day and night, inviting me to change as I listen to Your holy Word. I thank You for these constant promptings of grace and commit myself to remain open to all that You ask of me. I choose You, my Lord. And as I turn to You, I pray that I will have the courage I need to respond wholeheartedly to Your call. Jesus, I trust in You.  Image: John Rogers Herbert, Public domain, via Wikimedia CommonsSource of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

Hey love, welcome back to The Brave Table. This solocast is a love letter to your nervous system and a gentle nudge to step out of hustle culture and into your slow era.

The British author and journalist Oliver Burkeman has spent decades pondering what it means to live a meaningful life, both in his former Guardian column “This Column WIll Change Your Life” and across several books—most recently, Meditations for Mortals, out in paperback this October. That's why he brings a healthy dose of skepticism to so-called “time management” systems and productivity hacks as a means toward true fulfillment. Burkeman's compelled by the notion that, rather than being separate from time, human beings are time. If people faced the reality of their limited time on the planet head on, he believes there's a real chance to experience greater, more engaged feelings of aliveness.On the episode—our Season 12 kick-off—Burkeman discusses why he's eschewing  perfectionism and finding unexpected liberation in the premise that, to some extent, the worst has already happened, and the best may still be ahead.Special thanks to our Season 11 presenting sponsor, Van Cleef & Arpels.Show notes:Oliver Burkeman[4:26] “Meditations for Mortals” (2024)[6:48] Donald Winnicott[7:46] Martin Heidegger[7:46] "Technics and Civilization" (2010)[7:46] “Being and Time” (1927)[7:46] “Time Warrior” (2011)[7:46] “Time Surfing” (2017)[7:46] “Anti-Time Management” (2022)[10:14] Medieval peasants[10:14] “The 4-Hour Workweek”[13:18] Alicja Kwade[19:23] “Ichi-go, ichi-e” (“one time, one meeting”)[22:00] Eckhart Tolle[22:36] Agnes Martin[23:28] “The Road Not Taken”[40:03] “This Column Will Change Your Life”[51:00] Nicholas Carr[51:00] Clay Shirky[53:40] Jennifer Roberts[59:04] Pomodoro Technique [59:13] Kanban[1:01:33] James Hollis[1:02:40] Alfred Adler[1:02:40] “The Courage to Be Disliked” (2024)[1:06:24] Stoicism

Renowned makeup artist, entrepreneur, and founder of Jones Road, Bobbi shares how choosing decency over drama and normalcy over fabulosity shaped both her career and her life.

We have to show them we have not graduated, we are not on summer break, and we have not arrived at the final destination of education.

In this episode of the Celebrate Kids podcast, host Wayne Stender and Dr. Kathy emphasize the critical roles boys and young men need to embody as sages, explorers, servants, warriors, and husbands. The discussion is sparked by recent events, including the assassination of their friend Charlie Kirk, and touches on the perceived crisis among young men exacerbated by the COVID pandemic and cultural shifts. Dr. Kathy advocates for a holistic understanding of masculinity that balances strength with servitude, aiming to inspire resilience and growth in the younger generation. Tune in to explore these vital themes and learn how we can support boys in their development.

Charlie Kirk's memorial service wasn't just a cultural moment—it became a global platform for the gospel.

In this powerful conversation with Pastor Jonathan Falwell, we unpacked what it means to lead with integrity, stay grounded in faith, and navigate the pressures of ministry in a world filled with uncertainty. From cultural challenges like rising fear, tragedy, and moral compromise to the immense personal weight pastors carry, Pastor Jonathan reminded us that these days call for courageous, Spirit-filled leadership. He shared how Scripture, prayer, and community keep us rooted when criticism, burnout, or even spiritual attack threaten to derail our calling. Together, we explored how to finish well, not chasing applause or platform but living faithfully and leaving a legacy that truly matters. Pastor Jonathan also addressed the reality of spiritual warfare, the temptation of compromise, and the importance of daily renewal in Christ to stand firm amid cultural chaos. His words were both a sobering reminder of the times we live in and an encouraging call to lead with courage, conviction, and compassion.If you’re in need of some encouragement and a filled cup with some fresh wind in your sails, don’t miss the Refuel Conference at Thomas Road Baptist Church on October 6–7.

There's a saying: “Change of any sort requires courage.” Courage and bravery are essential for making lasting and effective change. While we may have goals for success, greater happiness, or fulfilling relationships, we often feel overwhelmed by the time and effort that change demands.There is no magic formula for change; simply wishing and hoping are not enough. However, there are clear and concise steps that can increase our chances of success. With clarity, conviction, and commitment, change is indeed possible.When we shift our mindset from doubt to determination and surround ourselves with supportive people, we begin to believe in our ability to improve and succeed. As a result, we are more likely to challenge ourselves, persevere through setbacks, and ultimately achieve our goals. Sounds like success to us!Show Notes:Embrace the Suck article:https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-science-of-bravery/202505/embrace-the-suck-why-discomfort-builds-a-better-youThe Gift of Starting Small “Every great thing starts small - a tree begins as a seed, a journey begins with a single step. Don't feel discouraged if your dream feels tiny right now. Each small effort you make is building something bigger than you can see. Trust the process and keep moving forward. Celebrate progress, even if it feels slow. One day, you will look back and realize how far you've come. Every step matters. Keep going, you're building something beautiful, one piece at a time.”

What happens when a fearless voice for truth is silenced? This week, we honor Charlie Kirk—a disciple, a friend, and a leader whose legacy is louder than the grave. From pastors to patriots, we talk about carrying the torch he left behind. [00:44] Carrying the Torch Pastor, author, and Turning Point Faith advisor Lucas Miles recalls his last conversation with Charlie, why the gospel was always Charlie's first mission, and how TPUSA Faith plans to move forward. He challenges pastors to confront martyrdom with courage, not silence. [12:58]Gates, Mosquitoes & Medical Freedom Dr. Bartlett warns about dangerous global experiments—from genetically engineered mosquitoes to unchecked vaccine agendas—and calls on believers to stand for healthcare freedom and truth in science.

Would you fight two warriors at the same time? Would you go into a pit during a snow storm and fight a lion? Would you take a huge warriors spear and fight him with his own spear? I would have to answer NO to all of those questions. Yet one of my favorite people in the bible did just that. In this podcast we are going to look at the bravery of Benaiah and hopefully inspire each of us with his story.

This extends to accepting an iron-sharpening-iron relationship He has set in our path.Yet the benefits are so good for us.Proverbs 27:17 says, “Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.”Make no mistake, God sets people in our path for a reason. That Bible teacher in your church might have words of wisdom for you from her rich and varied life. Be open to that.If you are in fellowship with a mature, older believer, let him or her walk with you on your journey. Learn from them. Ask questions. Learn to be vulnerable.The benefits and outcomes will be richer than you can imagine. This is especially true when someone points out areas you can do better in. Not fun, but that is the essence of iron sharpening iron.And it's good for you.Let's pray.Lord, help us be open to the leading of your Holy Spirit when encountering someone who could mentor us.

How does it happen? How does someone become great?

What do we do when the heat around us rises and our allegiance to God is tested? This week, we're continuing our Fall Bible Study on Daniel: Living Right Side Up in an Upside Down World. Nicole walks with us through Daniel 3—the fiery furnace moment with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Using the ALIVE Method (What does it say? What’s the backstory? What does it mean? What does it mean for me?), Nicole shows how this ancient story speaks directly to modern disciples who feel pressure to assimilate to cultural idols. Key theme: Perspective matters. True allegiance shows when pressure rises. The three friends’ confession—“even if He does not”—models a courageous, non-anxious faith that resists idolatry and trusts God’s authority over our trials. In this episode, Nicole covers: How to read Daniel 3 with the ALIVE Method so you see the text, its context, its timeless truth, and its personal application. Why allegiance precedes outcomes: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego’s “even if He does not” (Daniel 3:18) courage shows faith isn’t transactional. Idolatry isn’t only “bad things”: As Tim Keller noted, a good thing that becomes an ultimate thing is an idol. Even noble causes, work, or ministry can become ultimate. (From Keller’s teaching on counterfeits; see Counterfeit Gods for a deeper dive) What to do when the heat rises: Don’t panic—pray. Seek community and God’s wisdom (cf. Daniel 2). How to interpret miracles and suffering: Miracles are a sign of God’s authority; they don’t establish it. And Scripture prepares us not to be surprised by “fiery ordeals.” Living in “Babylon” today: Practice holy resistance without withdrawal—hold firm convictions with humility, love, and clarity. Modern idolatry and competing allegiances: how to spot them, surrender them, and seek God’s kingdom first.

Image via Sathyam_19 / Shutterstock. What did Charlie Kirk want his legacy to be about? His work? His mission? His family? Timmerie shares a powerful reflection on what Charlie Kirk himself once said he wanted to be remembered for. In an interview not long before his tragic death, the 31-year-old Turning Point USA founder was asked how he hoped people would remember him. His answer was simple yet striking: “I want to be remembered for courage for my faith.” Timmerie reminds you that courage isn’t the absence of fear – it’s acting in spite of fear. Whether it was launching Turning Point as a teenager, debating on hostile college campuses, or defending life and family in the public square, Charlie prayed before each appearance: “God, use me for your will.” His refusal to compromise on truth showed the kind of conviction that shaped both his public witness and private devotion. Timmerie mentions that Charlie's greatest joy wasn’t found in politics or fame, but in family. He often encouraged young women not to sacrifice marriage and motherhood for career ambition, and he delighted in sharing stories of his little daughter running to hug him after long days on the road. He and his wife had just celebrated her third birthday shortly before his death. Charlie Kirk’s legacy reaches beyond politics. He saw his mission as fighting for the soul of America, shaping hearts and minds toward faith, truth, and life. His prayerful dependence on God and his devotion as a husband and father reveal a man striving to live with fortitude even in the face of fear. Charlie died the way he lived – committed to truth, unafraid of opposition, and rooted in faith. His life poses a question for all of us: do we have the courage and fortitude to say, like Samuel, “Here I am, Lord, use me for your will”?

Seek God and ask Him what He wants you to be doing, then commit to follow Him with a loyal heart and a willing mind. Do not fear or worry, and do not get discouraged. Then, bring the next generation along and teach them to do the same.

This episode of American Potential is unlike any other. In the wake of the tragic murder of Charlie Kirk, we pause to reflect on the principles at the heart of America—freedom of speech, open debate, and the responsibility of each generation to safeguard liberty. Charlie's life and work embodied the courage to speak boldly, to defend foundational rights, and to inspire young people to believe that their voices matter. His loss has shaken many, but it has also awakened countless Americans to the urgency of carrying forward his mission. Host David From shares the microphone with young leaders who are stepping into the arena—students, grassroots organizers, and everyday citizens who found their passion for service through personal experiences of speaking up. Their stories prove that one person, no matter their background, can ignite change in their community and beyond. Together, they remind us that America's strength lies in civil discourse, courage rooted in conviction, and the timeless truth that freedom is only one generation away from extinction.
