Podcast appearances and mentions of Craig Groeschel

Are you holding yourself back from leading at your highest level? In this incredible conversation, I sit down with my good friend Craig Groeschel—someone I admire deeply, not just for what he's accomplished, but for the man he is at his core. We get real about leadership—what it means to empower others, to listen, to ask better questions, and to build a culture that thrives whether you're in the room or not. Craig shares candidly about the lessons he's learned over nearly 30 years leading one of the largest churches in the country and launching the YouVersion Bible App that's impacted millions.One of the things that really hit home in this episode is how Craig talks about the shift from thinking leadership is about you to realizing it's about what happens when you're not there. We break down how great leaders give authority, not just tasks, and how that's the key to developing other leaders rather than creating followers. And yes, we go into the hard stuff—the criticism, the self-doubt, the moments where you feel like playing it safe. Craig doesn't shy away from those moments, and neither do I in this conversation.  We also talk about something that's been huge for me this year—surrender. Craig shares what it really means to give up control where it's not ours to begin with, and why trusting God with the things we can't shape frees us to lead with greater courage and faith. This episode isn't about theory—it's about real tools you can put into practice starting today.   How to shift from controlling to empowering so you can build leaders, not just followers. Why your effectiveness as a leader is measured by what happens when you're absent, not present. The habits that anchor Craig's leadership and how to create your own keystone habits. A fresh approach to giving and receiving feedback that builds trust and fuels growth. The difference between showing love and showing belief—and why your team (and family) needs both. How to handle self-doubt and stop playing it safe in your vision and leadership. What true surrender looks like in your leadership and life.   Here's what you'll take away from this episode:If this conversation moves you the way it did me, do yourself a favor—share it, take action on it, and let it change the way you lead. Max out your life, my friends!  

What's the ultimate dream outcome for every small business owner? In this episode, Bradley breaks down why he believes every entrepreneur should be working toward a profitable, million-dollar-plus business that runs and grows without them - and challenges you to define what YOUR specific dream outcome looks like.Key TakeawaysThe Dream Outcome FrameworkA profitable, million-dollar-plus business that runs and grows without you1. ProfitableMinimum threshold: 10% net profit.Target range: 25% net profitability.Growth strategy: Some businesses can scale to 30% over 5 years (1% improvement annually).Why it matters: Profitability funds reinvestment for future growth (hiring, marketing, equipment, facilities).Key insight: "Profitability is a prerequisite for growth" - Craig Groeschel.2.

In This Episode: In this inspiring episode of The Ops Experts Club, Aaron and Terryn sit down with Brett Swartz, founder of Capital Gains Tax Solutions and author of the Amazon bestseller Building a Capital Gains Tax Exit Plan. Brett shares insights from his book and his passion for helping entrepreneurs and investors achieve financial freedom through innovative tax strategies. He also dives into the power of goal setting, drawing from his and his wife Melanie's mission-driven approach to life, family, and business.   Key Highlights: The Book: Building a Capital Gains Tax Exit Plan: Brett discusses his Amazon bestseller, co-authored with industry titans like Kevin Harrington (Shark Tank), Don Winter (DLP), and CPA Tyler McBroom. The book blends Brett's expertise in the Deferred Sales Trust—a strategy to defer capital gains taxes and replace the 1031 exchange—with stories of entrepreneurship, real estate investing, and mentorship. It offers practical guidance on building a tax-efficient exit plan and assembling a dream team for family-office-style wealth management. Deferred Sales Trust (DST): Brett explains how the DST empowers business owners and real estate investors to defer taxes on multi-million-dollar exits, unlocking capital to multiply freedom and impact. The book highlights real-world applications, from multi-family properties to mobile home parks, making it a must-read for entrepreneurs and investors. Goal Setting and Living on Mission: Brett shares his and Melanie's intentional approach to goal setting, rooted in their faith and family values. With five kids (ages 6-14), they prioritize a clear family mission, including a bold goal inspired by Don Winter: “1,000 extraordinary days in 100 unique locations” before their kids turn 18. Brett emphasizes defining a clear vision, building systems, hiring coaches, and embracing grit to sustain momentum. He advocates for a growth mindset over a goal mindset, citing John Maxwell and Craig Groeschel to underscore the power of momentum in achieving lasting success. Practical Advice for Aspiring Wealth Builders: For listeners not yet part of the wealth transfer wave, Brett offers actionable steps: clarify your calling, write down and visualize goals, seek mentorship, and implement systems to track progress. His journey from Cheesecake Factory to financial freedom post-2008 crash exemplifies the resilience needed to build a legacy.

"Máte len silu zmeniť seba. Nemôžete zmeniť iného človeka." V bestselleri New York Times s názvom Hranice vám doktor Henry Cloud a John Townsend pomôžu naučiť sa, kedy povedať áno a vedieť povedať nie, aby ste prevzali kontrolu nad svojím životom a stanovili si zdravé hranice. Cítite, že váš život nie je vo vašich rukách? Možno máte pocit, že musíte vyhovieť každému. Možno nevedomky preberáte zodpovednosť za pocity a problémy iných. Alebo sa tak veľmi snažíte byť milujúci a nesebeckí, že ste zabudli na vlastné hranice. Hranica v rôznych oblastiach nášho života vymedzuje, kto sa k nám smie priblížiť, pomáha nám rozhodnúť komu a čomu povieme nie alebo áno, či určiť vzťah k sebe samému. Hranica je rozhodnutie, ktorým definujeme veci a okolnosti, za ktoré sme zodpovední. Definuje, kto sme a kto nie sme. Táto audiokniha prináša biblický pohľad na to čo sú hranice a tiež: -čo chránia -ako sa vytvárajú -ako sú narušované -ako ich opraviť -ako ich využívať Naučte sa stanoviť si či napraviť hranice vo vzťahu k našim blízkym – k rodine, partnerovi, deťom, v práci, ale aj k sebe samému a k Bohu. "Zo všetkých kníh, ktoré som čítal, sú Hranice tou, ktorú najčastejšie odporúčam." - Craig Groeschel, pastor a najpredávanejší autor podľa New York Times "Hranice odporúčam priateľom, členom tímu a poslucháčom rádia už viac ako dvadsať rokov." - Dave Ramsey, najpredávanejší autor a moderátor celoštátnej rozhlasovej relácie Preklad: Ivana Várošová Audiokniha: Hranice Autor: Henry Cloud a John Townsend Interpret: Michal Ďuriš Dĺžka: 13:37 h Vydavateľstvo: Publixing a Porta Libri Audiokniha Hranice na webe Publixing (MP3 na stiahnutie) Audiokniha Hranice na webe Audiolibrix (MP3 na stiahnutie)

Hiiii GGB! In this episode, we sit down with Craig Groeschel and explore his book 'The Benefit of Doubt.'   "The strongest faith isn't a faith that never doubts," writes Groeschel. "Rather, it's a faith that grows through doubts." Written for individuals facing doubts about God and as an asset to reach loved ones struggling with doubts, each chapter of The Benefit of Doubt includes questions that lead readers to dive deeper into the reasons behind their doubt. Groeschel also provides resources at the end of the book for readers to re-engage their relationship with God as well as an appendix of encouraging scriptures for the days of doubt. A supplemental workbook will also release from Zondervan to complement The Benefit of Doubt. "I want you to know you can have both faith and questions at the same time. You can wrestle with God and embrace him," writes Groeschel. "While you will never have all your questions answered this side of Heaven, you can be sure of one thing. You can give God the benefit of the doubt." The Benefit of Doubt book and workbook release from Zondervan on February 18, 2025.   Some questions we go dive into, but certainly not limited to— -Can you explain what deconstruction is and if it's ever good to deconstruct? -You share honestly about your doubts throughout your Christian walk. What have you learned by working through those doubts? -What do you say to someone who starts to doubt God because their prayers weren't answered? -Many people turn away from God because of hypocritical Christians. What do you say to someone who walks away from God because of a hurt or wound? -Christians believe Jesus is the only way to Heaven. What's your response to people who say that's arrogant? -Some people start to doubt God because they don't feel His presence. What would you say to someone who doesn't always feel God? -What encouragement do you have for someone who is struggling with doubt?   All of Craig's links: Website- https://www.craiggroeschel.com/ Benefit of Doubt book- Instagram https://www.instagram.com/craiggroeschel/ YouVersion Bible App- https://www.youversion.com/the-bible-app/ https://www.craiggroeschel.com/books/the-benefit-of-doubt Life Church- https://www.craiggroeschel.com/lifechurch   we love you SO much.

Are you living fully aligned with God's purpose for your life, or are aspects of your soul feeling misaligned? In this powerful message from the Soul Realign series, Pastor Nick dives deep into the transformative process described in Romans 12:2, guiding us to realign our souls with God's perfect will. Learn how unintentional spiritual formation shapes who we become and discover how to intentionally renew your mind to experience true transformation.Why Soul Realigned ? Because many of us drift away from the spiritual alignment intended by God, often unknowingly. Even if redeemed by Jesus Christ, we battle the world and our flesh every day. Pastor Nick unpacks how spiritual formation is not just a Christian or religious concept, but a state affecting every human being. This message invites you to transform your mind and soul by consciously choosing what shapes them daily.Pastor Nick explores the profound connection between thoughts, beliefs, actions, and outcomes, explaining how our spiritual and mental landscapes can be reshaped through practical steps. Drawing inspiration from Romans 12:2—"Do not conform to the patterns of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind"—this sermon emphasizes the power of intentional spiritual practices to reflect God's will in our lives.Join us for this enlightening journey as we discuss key insights into renewing our minds and the role of spiritual formation in aligning our souls with God.

Pastor David MorrisonLuke 9:23 (NLT)- Jesus had predicted His death, the torture that He would face, that He would be raised to life again.- You can follow Me, but it requires giving up one's way, taking up one's cross daily, and following Me."When we said yes to Jesus, we said yes to a lifelong process of becoming His disciples." - Craig Groeschel.To follow Jesus is a mindset shift, to follow His path, not my own. My best definition of the Greek for follow is"To accompany, like on a road or journey."Give Up Your Own Way. - Jesus.Ephesians 2:8-9 (NLT)- We base our relationship with God on our human relationships, thinking I only have value if there is something I can contribute.- To follow Jesus doesn't require doing as the primary driver; it needs something different: surrender: God, not my ways, but Your ways. If I follow Jesus, His way matters. I aim to become like Him, so I surrender my way of doing things. Take Up Your Cross Daily - Jesus.Galatians 2:20 (NLT)- Saying Yes to becoming like Jesus is saying no to my sinful nature.... saying no to my flesh and my heart will often lead me astray.- To say ‘yes' to Jesus, I must say ‘no' to my life and ‘no' to my ways. My plans involve coming with a blank canvas, an open heart, and Jesus says, “Follow me.”Follow Me - Jesus- Do what I do. Let's do life together and watch how I work and live. These weren't checklist things for Him; they were life-giving moments in His relationship with God. I remember asking her to marry me; thank God she said yes. Even though I didn't know what lay ahead for us or what it meant, I'm so glad I did. The same is true when we say yes to Jesus. We may not fully grasp the magnitude of the moment…but I want to encourage you, as a sermon a few months back said: Say ‘yes' one step and one day at a time. Say ‘no' to the other stuff one step, one day at a time. Our mission statement is helping people take their next steps toward Jesus Christ together.But it's a journey.The cool thing about Jesus is that He always takes the first step: He is pursuing our hearts and says follow Me, I would like to spend time with you.

Mel and Michael discuss Craig Groeschel's perspective on the value of keeping tenured, trusted leaders together. They also talk about how Jesus viewed the Church. Is Christianity really about relationship more than it is about religion? We learn from Mel why it's important to remain calm when leading through challenges. What are his strategies for inspiring confidence when things are uncertain? Is there such a thing as a noble lie? The conversation finishes with ways a leader can be decisive with his use of authority despite the universal inner-need to be liked by others. Listen to Wesley Huff on Joe Rogan's podcast here.

The Power to ChangeLearn more about the movie "The Forge" The Forge MovieThe Quote from CS Lewis.From a letter to an American woman, 31.7.62I have a notion that, apart from actual pain, men and women are quite diversely afflicted by illness.  To a woman one of the great evils about it is that she can't do things.  To a man (or anyway a man like me) the great consolation is the reflection "well, anyway, no-one can now demand that I should do anything." I have often had the fancy that one stage in purgatory might be a great big kitchen in which things are always going wrong - milk boiling over, crockery getting smashed, toast burning, animals stealing.  The women have to learn to sit still and mind their own business: the men have to learn to jump up and do something about it. When both sexes have mastered this exercise, they go on to the next.A clarification written 03.09.62[this] is simply my lifelong experience - that men are more likely to hand over to others what they ought to do themselves, and women more likely to do themselves what others wish they would leave alone.  Hence both sexes must be told "mind your own business" but in two different senses.

We each have a calling on our heart, and we will miss it, if we spend our energy and time being offended. Don't let small things take your energy. Rise above, and move on, and go be great. Challenge: Pay attention this week, and see what tries to steal your energy. Resources: Prayer. Rest. Boundaries. Movement. Your life is too short and you're calling too great to be offended by something small. - Craig Groeschel

Comedic thought leader, author and actor Michael Jr. sat down with Craig Groeschel at the 2024 Global Leadership Summit and shared what we often get wrong about conflict.  He unpacked how becoming internally curious is a key tool to unlock the true gift that disagreements can bring to our lives. This episode is for anyone who is looking for practical ways to reframe conflict in any area of your life.

 1 Corinthians 12:12 The human body has many parts, but the many parts make up one whole body. So it is with the body of Christ. (NLT)   Every part of the body matters    1 Corinthians 12:14-17 Yes, the body has many different parts, not just one part. 15 If the foot says, “I am not a part of the body because I am not a hand,” that does not make it any less a part of the body. 16 And if the ear says, “I am not part of the body because I am not an eye,” would that make it any less a part of the body? 17 If the whole body were an eye, how would you hear? Or if your whole body were an ear, how would you smell anything? (NLT)    1 Corinthians 12:22 In fact, some parts of the body that seem weakest and least important are actually the most necessary. (NLT)   1 Corinthians 12:27 All of you together are Christ’s body, and each of you is a part of it.  (NLT)

====================================================SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1=======================================================================VIRTUOSADevoción Matutina Para Mujeres 2024Narrado por: Sirley DelgadilloDesde: Bucaramanga, Colombia===================|| www.drministries.org ||===================29 DE SEPTIEMBREFUEGO AMIGO«El chismoso es causa de enemistades» (Prov. 16:28).Cuenta el pastor evangélico Craig Groeschel que, en una ocasión, él y su esposa estaban ayudando a una pareja que atravesaba una grave crisis matrimonial. Todo iba aparentemente bien hasta que él le había confesado a ella que le había sido infiel. Aunque había sido una noticia devastadora para la esposa, ella quería salvar su matrimonio y deseaba que Dios la ayudara a perdonar.Durante las sesiones de terapia de pareja llevadas a cabo con el pastor Groeschel y su esposa, pareció haber un considerable progreso. El hombre se arrepintió de su pecado y mejoró en aspectos que hasta entonces no habían funcionado, y estaba demostrando claramente que amaba a su esposa. Ella estaba dispuesta a seguir adelante. Como última parte ya del proceso de consejería, Groeschel les propuso buscar oración con un grupo de confianza de la iglesia, para poner en marcha un sano momento de rendición de cuentas. Así que, de nuevo, esta vez frente a un pequeño grupo de hermanos de iglesia, la pareja habló de sus problemas, se perdonaron y decidieron seguir adelante. Sin duda, Dios estaba restaurando un corazón roto y sanando una relación. Hasta que, al día siguiente, uno de los presentes rompió su compromiso de no decir nada y contó lo sucedido a una amiga. Esta, por su parte, publicó en Facebook el siguiente mensaje: «Por favor, oremos por los esposos de nuestra iglesia; él fue infiel y necesitan nuestras oraciones». La pareja quedó devastada: ella dejó de ir a la iglesia y pidió el divorcio. En palabras de Groeschel: «El adulterio no terminó con ese matrimonio; el chisme, sí».*No sé si habrás oído el refrán «de buenas intenciones está empedrado el infierno»; me parece que aquí calza perfectamente. ¿Cómo es posible que, bajo un disfraz de amistad y preocupación cristiana, se pueda cometer una indiscreción de tal envergadura por parte de hermanos de la iglesia bienintencionados? ¿Por qué cometemos errores tan graves como hacer público lo que es privado? Por alguna razón, dice Proverbios 18: 21: «La vida y la muerte dependen de la lengua; los que hablan mucho sufrirán las consecuencias». Lamentablemente, las consecuencias afectan a más personas que al indiscreto.Si queremos que confíen en nosotras, hemos de ser dignas de confianza. Está muy bien pedir oración por alguien, pero no a expensas de exponer su privacidad. «La persona digna de confianza guarda el secreto» (Prov. 11:13).«No decir más de lo que haga falta, a quien haga falta y cuando haga falta». André Maurois.Craig Groeschel, #luchas (Buenos Aires: Peniel, 2015), pp. 166-168.

====================================================SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1=======================================================================VIRTUOSADevoción Matutina Para Mujeres 2024Narrado por: Sirley DelgadilloDesde: Bucaramanga, Colombia===================|| www.drministries.org ||===================16 DE SEPTIEMBRECIENTOS DE OTRAS RAZONES«Porque para mí, seguir viviendo es Cristo» (Fil. 1: 21).El pastor Craig Groeschel se reunió con un joven profundamente deprimido, que todo el tiempo pensaba en quitarse la vida. «No soy bueno en nada. Nadie me quiere. Nunca me casaré», eran las frases que salían de su boca.-Dame cien razones que tienes para vivir -le pidió Groeschel.El joven se quedó mirándolo, sin reaccionar, mientras el pastor escribía en un papel los números del uno al cien.-¿La primera razón?-No tengo ninguna razón para vivir.-Entonces, dime algo que se te dé bien -cambió de pregunta el pastor.-Escribir.-Ahí lo tienes lo reafirmó Groeschel-. Dame la número dos.-Ya se lo dije...-La número dos -interrumpió Groeschel.-La gente dice que soy muy gracioso.-¿Número tres?-Me parezco mucho a Robert Redford.-Mmmmm, pues sí que eres muy gracioso. ¿Número cuatro?Esbozando una sonrisa, el joven estaba ya comprometido con el ejercicio. El pastor iba escribiendo al lado de los números, hasta que llegaron al cien. Como el joven iba a mudarse a otra ciudad, Groeschel le recomendó consejería cristiana, le hizo entrega de la lista de «cien razones para vivir», y separaron sus caminos. Doce años después, tras una predicación, un hombre se acercó al pastor, le presentó a su esposa y a su hijo, y le entregó un papel arrugado. «Ya no lo necesito. Dios ha escrito en mi corazón cientos de otras razones», le dijo.*No sé cuál es tu estado de ánimo esta mañana; tal vez tus pensamientos no colaboran contigo en el camino de la vida y estás en guerra contigo misma, porque nos convertimos en aquello que pensamos. Virginia Wolf escribió que «no se puede encontrar la paz evitando la vida»; por eso, escoge la vida como camino hacia tu paz mental y espiritual. La Biblia te regala una promesa: «Dios te dará su paz, que es más grande de lo que el hombre puede entender; y esta paz cuidará tu corazón y tus pensamientos por medio de Cristo Jesús» (Fil. 4: 7). Eso es lo que necesitas: darle a Dios la oportunidad de obrar en ti, ayudándote a cuidar de tus pensamientos por medio de Cristo. Ahora quizás no lo puedes visualizar, pero esa paz de Dios te alcanzará, y escribirá en tu corazón cientos de otras razones.«Ama la vida que tienes, para poder vivir la vida que amas». Hussein Nishah.* Craig Groeschel, Desintoxicación espiritual (Miami: Vida, 2013), pp. 71-73. 268
