Podcast appearances and mentions of Craig Groeschel

Welcome to the eighth episode of the 2025 Global Leadership Summit Recap Series on Stories from the River! This week, CEO Charlie Malouf is joined by Carl Hillesland, Director of Retail Performance at Broad River Retail, to reflect on Christine Caine's powerful session at the Summit. Christine Caine—author, speaker, and founder of the A21 anti-human trafficking campaign—shared her personal journey of discovering her life's purpose and the critical turning point that led her to confront the realities of human trafficking. In her talk, she warned leaders about the danger of drift—the subtle but steady loss of vision and purpose that happens when we simply do nothing. Charlie and Carl explore how Christine's stories, like discovering she was adopted and later encountering the vast scope of human trafficking, illustrate the need to stay anchored to a clear why. They unpack her vivid analogy of two beach umbrellas representing boundaries that prevent us from drifting and discuss how Memory Makers can apply these ideas in their own work and lives. The conversation highlights: - How to recognize and combat “drift” in leadership and life - The importance of boundaries, vision, and purpose to stay aligned - Practical ways Memory Makers are already using Christine's message to realign with their mission - Why leaders must intentionally Re-Anchor, Rebuild, and Reignite their passion to avoid languishing or losing focus This episode is a call to action for Memory Makers to be intentional lighthouses—staying grounded, shining with purpose, and helping others navigate life's currents toward meaningful impact.

It's the seventh episode of the 2025 Global Leadership Summit Recap Series on Stories from the River, and CEO Charlie Malouf is joined again by Will Luke, Senior Director of Project Management, to dive into John C. Maxwell's session at the Summit.  They reflect on Maxwell's legacy in leadership, his lifelong dedication to developing others, and the personal stories and frameworks that have shaped his teachings. John was presented with the Lifetime Leadership Legacy Award by Craig Groeschel at the Global Leadership Summit, and Craig referred to John Maxwell as the single greatest teacher and model of servant leadership in our lifetime.  After their conversation, John taught on legacy and leadership.  The conversation highlights Maxwell's influence not only on the world stage—including his founding of the nonprofit EQUIP to do transformative work with countries and then the nonprofit iLead to do transformational work with schools globally—but also within the Broad River Retail community, where his principles have become part of the company culture. Charlie and Will unpack Maxwell's three-part framework for leaving a legacy:  - the Compass (having a destiny to fulfill) - the Clock (making meaningful contributions in the present) - and Companions (developing others to carry the impact forward).  They share takeaways about the importance of intentionality in legacy-building, the wisdom of thinking long term, and how true significance comes from what you leave in people rather than just what you leave for them. Personal anecdotes about their own families and the practice of distilling their lives into a single meaningful sentence reinforce the episode's inspiring, relatable message: every Memory Maker has the chance to make a lasting difference by investing in others and living authentically.

In this sixth episode of the 2025 Global Leadership Summit Recap Series on Stories from the River, CEO Charlie Malouf is joined by Will Luke, Senior Director of Project Management, to recap insights from Dr. James Hewitt's Global Leadership Summit keynote on regenerative performance.  Dr. Hewitt, a former world-class cyclist turned human performance scientist, shared his journey from relentless “go, go, go” living to understanding the necessity of pausing and reflecting, especially after surviving cancer. The discussion introduces the concept of “cognitive gears,” a metaphor for the varying levels of mental focus and energy: low (rest and simple tasks), middle (emails and meetings), and high (deep, priority-driven work). Most workers get caught in the “middle gear” — a cycle of distractions and meetings — which can lead to burnout and inefficiency. Charlie and Will explore Dr. Hewitt's practical strategies, like batching emails, rethinking meeting culture, leveraging AI for smarter workflows, and recognizing the value of rest and breaks, not just as luxuries, but as critical tools for sustainability and peak performance. They emphasize aligning work with one's natural circadian rhythms and highlight the power of quality sleep and strategic downtime for creativity and long-term effectiveness. The episode closes with a call for leaders to model regenerative practices, acknowledging that when Memory Makers are encouraged to replenish their mental and physical capacity, it has a ripple effect throughout the organization, boosting both wellbeing and performance.

The 2025 Global Leadership Summit Recap Series continues today on Stories from the River! CEO Charlie Malouf welcomes back guest Kellie Jones, Senior Manager, Retail Operations.  The two deep dive into Nick Saban's interview with Paula Faris at the Global Leadership Summit. The episode kicks off with enthusiastic reflections on Broad River's recent Experts Soirée at STK Steakhouse and the Grand Reopening of the Columbia store, highlighting the importance of community, transformation, and celebrating success with fellow Memory Makers. They also discuss the recent "Pioneering the Path - a Purpose 8:28 Experience" event, sharing excitement over keynote speakers such as Jon Acuff and Kristen Hadeed, and the motivational trading cards featuring company experts. The heart of the episode centers on Nick Saban's leadership insights, with Kellie expressing how, despite not being a college football enthusiast, she resonated deeply with his principles on leadership, routine, adaptability, and self-assessment. They explore Saban's philosophy of transformational leadership, the necessity of focusing on the process rather than just results, and the value of developing both individual and collective visions within organizations.  Key themes include the importance of discipline, continuous self-assessment, guarding against complacency, and fostering a mindset of positivity and perseverance—parallels Kellie draws to her own journey and to the growth mindset encouraged among Memory Makers at Broad River Retail.  The episode closes on a note of inspiration, with resounding takeaways on legacy, purpose, and being a positive force both within the company and the wider community.

Welcome to the fourth episode of the 2025 Global Leadership Summit Recap Series on Stories from the River. Host Carl Hillesland, Director, Retail Performance, and guest Kellie Jones, Senior Manager, Retail Operations, dive into insights from Juliet Funt's talk on Leadership Precision and against gluttony at the Global Leadership Summit. The discussion centers around the dangers of leaders overloading themselves, likening the approach to a buffet where piling on more projects and initiatives gives the illusion of progress but ultimately spreads everyone too thin. Drawing from Funt's analogy of the "peanut butter spread too thin tears the bread," Carl and Kellie explore why leaders feel compelled to keep adding priorities, the impact this has on organizational effectiveness, and the challenge of letting go of good—but not necessarily great—ideas. The conversation moves to the alternative: adopting a reductive mindset that focuses on prioritization, improvement, and most importantly, reduction—stripping away nonessential work to sharpen focus and increase productivity. They share practical tools from Funt's talk, like the "Spin Launcher," a five-step process for cutting clutter and making space for what really matters. Both Carl and Kellie reflect on real-world examples within Broad River Retail, emphasizing how shrinking the pile of work gives Memory Makers more lift and allows for higher-value contributions.  The episode wraps with concrete suggestions for Memory Makers and leaders alike to bring more efficiency, focus, and freedom into their daily work by learning the value of saying no and making strategic cuts.

It's the third episode of the 2025 Gobal Leadership Summit Recap Series on Stories from the River! In today's episode, CEO Charlie Malouf welcomes Meagan Guzman, the newly hired Associate Director of People Operations. Just two months into her journey at Broad River Retail, Meagan reflects on her cross-country move from San Diego, her early experiences at the company, and the energizing environment of the Global Leadership Summit. This conversation highlights the value of attending the Summit with fellow leaders from Broad River and other community members, emphasizing the power of collective learning and networking, including a memorable instance of connecting with a potential future Memory Maker. The heart of the episode centers on insights from the keynote by Thasunda Brown Duckett, CEO of TIAA. Charlie and Meagan delve into Duckett's inspiring rise from humble beginnings as a "first generation integration" leader to overseeing $1.6 trillion in assets. They discuss her powerful lessons about consistent excellence, gratitude for those behind the scenes, and her refreshingly honest take on work-life balance as a "diversified portfolio," where giving oneself grace is essential.  Meagan relates personally to Duckett's advice, especially when navigating tough personal moments as a new leader. The episode also celebrates Duckett's mentorship style—her use of "coffee and tea" conversations to break down barriers, gather feedback from diverse groups, and uplift the next generation of leaders.

Welcome to a brand new series from Stories from the River featuring the 2025 Global Leadership Summit.  19 Memory Makers attended the Global Leadership Summit on August 7th and 8th from the local host site at The Park Expo and Convention Center in Charlotte, North Carolina, where there was a big screen for all of the Memory Makers along with all attendees to virtually watch all of the speakers and videos from GLS 25.  This GLS 25 recap series will highlight the experiences and takeaways from one speaker at a time.   CEO Charlie Malouf introduces the series and sets the stage by expressing the importance of not just absorbing powerful leadership talks but deeply internalizing them and discussing how their messages can lead to real application in the company. The episode kicks off with a recap of the opening keynote message from Craig Groeschel, who emphasized that "great leadership is boring"—underscoring that consistency, faithfulness powered by keystone habits exercised over a long period of time are the key to lasting impact. This episode features return guests Carl Hillesland, Director of Retail Performance, and Mark Deulley, Manager of Retail Data, Strategy, and Platforms, who dive deeper into Groeschel's message by discussing how consistent, small actions and faithfulness over time are the true drivers of meaningful leadership and personal growth. They reflect on the idea that Memory Makers don't need to be flashy or possess exceptional charisma; rather, becoming a great leader is about finding and sticking to those keystone habits that spark positive change across all areas of life. Carl and Mark share personal insights on scheduling true priorities, the practical power of persistence, and how embracing the "boring" can actually bring balance, peace, and significant long-term results for both Memory Makers and the people they serve.  The episode wraps up with encouragement to stay faithful, keep growing, and bring the heat every day—reminding listeners that the results everyone admires are built on the quiet, unseen disciplines their Memory Makers practice consistently.

Este podcast es una reflexión sobre la importancia de ser curioso, del poder de análisis que nos muestran las preguntas que hace una persona. Muchas veces uno puede darse cuenta de la capacidad que tiene alguien o de su conocimiento a partir de las preguntas que hace. Tocamos estos temas: 00:55- La pregunta que replantea todo02:00- La calidad de las preguntas03:33- Hacer preguntas, ¿es una señal de debilidad?04:58- ¿Cómo mejoramos las preguntas que hacemos?06:35- La pregunta correcta 07:37- Tres ideas finales Abrazá un propósito. ¡Desafía al mundo e inspirá a otros!Recordá que si querés enviarnos tus preguntas, consultas o sugerencias podés hacerlo a podcast@emprendeconproposito.com.arTambién podés seguirnos en las otras redes:Web: emprendeconproposito.com.ar IG: @sebasosaemprende @somosecp YT: Emprende con propósito TikTok: @somosecp Te dejo algunas ideas por si querés guardarte un resumen del podcast: Formular preguntas de calidad es herramienta fundamental para el crecimiento personal y profesional. Las preguntas que hacemos reflejan nuestro estado actual y la perspectiva desde la cual abordamos la vida. Es necesario adoptar una mentalidad inquisitiva para mejorar continuamente y profundizar nuestras relaciones.Uno de los puntos clave es la importancia de prepararse antes de una interacción o reunión, considerando que el tiempo de las personas es valioso. Al formular preguntas intencionales, demostramos respeto por el tiempo del otro y maximizamos el potencial de la conversación. Además, las preguntas bien formuladas pueden revelar nuevas perspectivas y desafiar nuestras propias limitaciones.Muchas personas no son conscientes del poder y la magnitud que tienen las preguntas. A menudo, nos limitamos a hacer las mismas preguntas de siempre, sin explorar nuevas vías de indagación. Es necesario rodearnos de personas que nos desafíen a hacer preguntas diferentes y a cuestionar nuestras propias suposiciones.Muchas veces creemos que hacer preguntas puede ser percibido erróneamente como una señal de debilidad o vulnerabilidad. Sin embargo, en realidad, hacer preguntas demuestra fortaleza y apertura a nuevas ideas. Al superar el miedo a preguntar, nos abrimos a un mundo de posibilidades y oportunidades de crecimiento.Desde ECP promovemos la idea de que hacer preguntas de calidad es esencial para el aprendizaje, la construcción de relaciones profundas y el crecimiento personal y profesional. Al adoptar una mentalidad inquisitiva y prepararnos para hacer preguntas intencionales, podemos transformar nuestra perspectiva y alcanzar nuestro máximo potencial.Te dejo 3 ideas de Craig Groeschel para hacer mejores preguntas:Obtener conocimiento: Aprender y alimentarnos intelectualmente.Construir relaciones profundas: Profundizar en nuestras conexiones interpersonales a través de preguntas significativas.Ayudar a otros a crecer: Fomentar el desarrollo de los demás a través del intercambio de preguntas y respuestas.#liderazgo #equipo #vulnerabilidad #lideresemprendedores #emprendedoresargentinos #resiliencia #disciplina #esfuerzo #entrenamiento #exito #trabajoduro #preguntas #habitos #conversacionesdificiles #feedback #liderazgo #lideresemprendedores #lideresempresarios

In this week's episode, Jaclyn and Sam explore key insights from Craig Groeschel's transformative book, The Power to Change. They break down essential strategies for making lasting changes in habits and behavior, emphasizing why so many of us struggle to sustain the improvements we desire. With impactful quotes like, “You do what you do because of what you think of you,” and “Your calling is more about who you are becoming than what you're doing,” they encourage listeners to shift their focus inward with an emphasis on building a relationship with God - recognizing that true transformation begins here. Through this meaningful discussion, they highlight the concept that finding your passion is less about discovering an activity, and more about understanding and nurturing who you are becoming through that journey.Book:The Power to Change by Craig GroeschelSupport the showDOWNLOAD THE FREQ APP:www.thefreqapp.com VISIT THE SHOP:www.thebeckonsouk.com CONNECT ON SOCIAL:Instagram: @beckonliving, @jaclynsteele, @samthurmond_reiTikTok: @beckonliving JOIN THE HIGH FREQUENCY SOCIETY:Text us at 480-531-6858 and type the word FREQUENCY to receive periodic uplifting, high frequency text messages from Sam and Jaclyn.

Este podcast es la segunda parte que habla sobre algunos conceptos que escuché de Craig Groeschel, que fueron los siguientes: 01:10- Microgestión04:43- Desconectarnos de las personas07:44- DudarAbrazá un propósito. ¡Desafía al mundo e inspirá a otros!Recordá que si querés enviarnos tus preguntas, consultas o sugerencias podés hacerlo a podcast@emprendeconproposito.com.arTambién podés seguirnos en las otras redes:Web: emprendeconproposito.com.ar IG: @sebasosaemprende @somosecp YT: Emprende con propósito TikTok: @somosecp Te dejo algunas frases por si querés guardarte un resumen del podcast: MicrogestiónMuchas veces como líderes creemos que hay que estar de cerca con cada persona que trabaja con nosotros, que somos el embudo de todas las decisiones que se toman en nuestra empresa o proyecto. Creo que empoderar a las personas es darles la confianza de poder probar caminos distintos, de equivocarse, de mejorar. Si está siguiendo de cerca a tu equipo todo el tiempo, entre líneas les estás diciendo que no confiás en ellos. Hay que acompañar, pero dejar que pongan su impronta. Es control o crecimiento. Desconectarnos de las personasDejar de estar presentes con las personas con quienes trabajamos, por no tener tiempo, por no ser vulnerables, nos vuelve lejanos, nos pone en un lugar inaccesible para trabajar con las personas de nuestro equipo. La gente quiere conectar con personas reales, no perfectas. Podemos impresionar a la gente con nuestros logros, pero nosotros conectamos con nuestras debilidades. DudarLa mayoría de las veces que tomamos decisiones en un proyecto, no estamos 100% seguros, pero como líderes hay que seguir las corazonadas, lo que nos dice la experiencia y el feedback de quienes trabajan con nosotros y explicar el por qué de la toma de esa decisión, pero hacerlo, no esperar a estar 100% convencido para ir por el camino porque eso retrasa mucho la toma de decisiones. #liderazgo #equipo #vulnerabilidad #lideresemprendedores #emprendedoresargentinos #resiliencia #disciplina #esfuerzo #entrenamiento #exito #trabajoduro #preguntas #craiggroeschel #habitos #conversacionesdificiles  #craiggroeschel #habitos 

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. Million-Dollar MarkThe reality: 91% of businesses never cross $1M in top-line revenue.Business survival: 96% don't see their 10th birthday.The advantage: Once you hit $1M, scaling to $2M happens in 25% of the time it took to reach the first million.Financial freedom: $1M business at 25% profit = $250K + your salary.3. Runs and Grows Without YouFoundation: Must run on an operating system outside of you.Test: Can you take a month-long trip to Europe without being tied to the business?Ultimate goal: Business doesn't just maintain - it actually grows while you're away.Critical Business InsightsThe Entrepreneurial Myth (E-Myth)Being great at your craft ≠ being great at business ownership.Examples: Great insurance agent ≠ great agency owner.The shift: Learn to be a business owner first, then you can master the technical side.The North Star ConceptYour dream outcome is something you navigate by, not necessarily to.Use it as directional guidance for decision-making.Break it down: 3-year goals → 1-year goals → 90-day actions.Goal Setting FrameworkDefine your ultimate dream outcome.Set 3-year targets.Plan this year's objectives.Focus on next 90 days.BONUS: We are working through this LIVE on June 24th, 2025 at 10 AM CST and you can join us when you register at https://intensive.blueprintos.comReflection QuestionsWhat's YOUR specific dream outcome?Is it a revenue number?

Este podcast tiene algunos conceptos que escuché de Craig Groeschel para desprogramar tus hábitos y tener mejores relaciones de liderazgo, que fueron los siguientes:00:33- No caigas en la trampa del más02:45- Incorporá las conversaciones difíciles04:43- No hagas todo por las personas que liderásAbrazá un propósito. ¡Desafía al mundo e inspirá a otros!Recordá que si querés enviarnos tus preguntas, consultas o sugerencias podés hacerlo a podcast@emprendeconproposito.com.arTambién podés seguirnos en las otras redes:Web: emprendeconproposito.com.ar IG: @sebasosaemprende @somosecp YT: Emprende con propósito TikTok: @somosecpTe dejo algunas frases por si querés guardarte un resumen del podcast: No caigas en la trampa del más:A veces nos preocupamos porque no estamos haciendo muchas cosas, pero en la vida a veces haciendo menos, ganamos calidad. Es difícil de entender muchas veces, pero muchas veces elegir y hacer mejor, da mejores resultados. No te preguntes si podés hacerlo, preguntate si debés hacerlo. Incorporá las conversaciones difíciles: Si te resulta más fácil, deciles “conversaciones de crecimiento”. No dejes de hacerlo si creés que van a generar una situación de mejora con esa persona. Muchas veces sirve hacerte un punteo o notas para poder estar ordenado con el otro. Te prometo que siempre te sentís mejor después de tener esa conversación. No hagas todo por las personas que liderás:Empoderalos, no hagas las cosas por ellos. Si ellos no quieren crecer por su cuenta, vos no podés hacerlo por ellos. Hay que liderar y enseñar desde la experiencia y pensamiento resolutivo de cada uno. A veces es mejor preguntarles cómo lo harían ellos, desde el conocimiento. Hacé preguntas, trabajá con sus procesos, a la larga se van a sentir más parte y van a poder resolver solos los desafíos. #liderazgo #equipo #vulnerabilidad #lideresemprendedores #emprendedoresargentinos #resiliencia #disciplina #esfuerzo #entrenamiento #exito #trabajoduro #preguntas #craiggroeschel #habitos #conversacionesdificiles

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.

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.
