Podcasts about Desperation

Melik Kaylan and Gordon Chang. Melik Kaylan suggests Putin is increasingly isolated, facing potential threats from his own Praetorian guards as domestic desperation grows. However, the dismissal of Ukraine's popular defense minister, Mykhailo Fedorov, may have inadvertently delayed Putin's demise. Fedorov, credited with turning the tide of war through digital innovation and anti-corruption audits, was sacked following infighting with "Old Guard" military leadership, sparking protests in Kyiv.

Desperation, Depravity and DenunciationGenesis 38:12-30, 2 Samuel 12:In our last session of TableTalk, we wondered if we could get an idea of what was happening back in Canaan, while Joseph was trusting God, suffering enslavement, false accusations and imprisonment in Egypt, all the while knowing that God's plan would ultimately be worked out in his life. READ Romans 8:28 Remember that principle that we learned last time – that sin NEVER gets better – the nature of man is such that sin is degenerative; it always gets worse, and this family situation is about to go completely down the drain…Apologies for the 'Echoey' sound quality - this recording was made in a hurry, at a desk in a room!

This week on Palm Wine Central, we kick things off by reacting to the viral Yellowstone bison attack and debating the wild story of two American Airlines pilots caught getting intimate mid-flight. Things get chaotic as we share our absolute worst drunk stories, travel bathroom phobias, and highly unfiltered questions about anatomy and bedroom habits. Finally, we sit down for a serious debate on the current state of Black television, the overuse of struggle tropes, and the lingering effects of colorism for dark-skinned women.Timeline:00:00 - Intro & Taco Tuesday Check-in02:15 - The Yellowstone Bison Attack10:30 - Pilots Caught Mid-Flight14:30 - Plane Bathrooms vs. The Backseat16:30 - Travel Bathroom Phobias20:30 - Desperation on a One-Way Street23:00 - The Absolute Worst Drunk Stories28:00 - Anatomy 101 (The "Punching Bag")39:00 - The State of Black Representation in TV48:00 - Colorism & Dark-Skinned Women in Media55:30 - The "Pretty for a Black Girl" Insult64:00 - Skin Bleaching & Being Black and ProudIf you enjoyed this episode, hit that SUBSCRIBE button for weekly notifications to help our channel grow!

The MoU Fell Apart Because of Trump, Witkoff and Kushner's Amateurism and Desperation and Now We Are About to Lose the Same War Again | There Is No Communism In America But That Won't Stop Trump and Speaker Johnson From Trying to Start a New Red Scare | An Examination of What Democratic Socialism Really Is backgroundbriefing.org/donate twitter.com/ianmastersmedia bsky.app/profile/ianmastersmedia.bsky.social linktr.ee/backgroundbriefing

In the dark, debaucherous world of Obsession, Bear is a mentally damaged young man living a lonely existence with his grandmother and a borrowed cat, carrying deep-seated trauma from his missing parents. While his profound emotional scars make him a natural match for the equally damaged Sarah, Bear desperately chases Nikki, hoping a relationship with her will elevate his life—completely ignoring that Nikki only views him as a immature, platonic friend she occasionally pities. Complicating this tragic dynamic is Ian, a toxic, sabotaging friend who actively blocks Bear's chances with Nikki out of his own selfish desires. Despite having years to make a genuine move, Bear remains passively stuck in a self-inflicted friend zone until the devastating news of Nikki's permanent departure shatters his restraint. Overcome by sudden greed and dangerous desperation, he turns to the supernatural power of the "One Wish Willow," unleashing a chaotic chain of events that exposes the terrifying, destructive heights of toxic relationships, narcissism, and unrequited obsession.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/depraved-and-debaucherous--5267208/support.Contact KOP for professional podcast production, imaging, and web design services at http://www.kingofpodcasts.comSupport KOP by subscribing to his YouTube channel and search for King Of PodcastsFollow KOP on X and TikTok @kingofpodcasts (F Meta!)Listen to KOP's other programs, Podcasters Row… and the Wrestling is Real Wrestling Podcast and The Broadcasters Podcast.Buy KOP a Coffee https://buymeacoffee.com/kingofpodcastsDrop KOP a PayPal https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=3TAB983ZQPNVLDrop KOP a Venmo https://account.venmo.com/u/kingofpodcastsDrop KOP a CashApp https://cash.app/$kingofallpodcasts

Rachel Maddow notes that Donald Trump's news cycle seems to be stuck in a loop with the same basic headlines repeating, but with each cycle Trump becomes more desperate to achieve his ends, and more reckless in his efforts as his opposition gets stronger and wiser to his schemes. Rachel Maddow explains the New York Times' reporting about Donald Trump's new Qatari plane missing some key defensive security features, and Trump's apoplexy over the idea that the Times report was bolstered by sources leaking information. Renowned First Amendment attorney Theodore J. Boutrous Jr. joins Rachel to discuss Trump's demand that the New York Times reveal its sources. Thomas Hicks, former commissioner with the Election Assistance Commission, talks with Rachel Maddow about the security of U.S. elections in the face of Donald Trump's open attacks. Rachel Maddow tells the story of Turkey, the host nation for this year's NATO summit, including a handgun and live ammunition in the parting goodie bag for NATO leaders without informing them they were carrying the weapon. Several of the leaders found ways to dispose of the gun. The White House did not respond to a query about whether Donald Trump also received a gun. Want more of Rachel?

Your Prayers Are Never Wasted 1 John 5:14–15 “And this is the boldness we have in him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have obtained the requests made of him.” I love this verse because God is reminding us that we can trust Him. He reminds us that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. If we know that He hears us, then we know we have obtained the requests we made of Him. I don't know about you, but I can get caught up in the words "according to His will." I have asked the Lord for many things that I don't think He has given me. It can be frustrating when we pray for someone or ask for something we believe is good, and it seems like God isn't listening. I know God's ways are higher than our ways and His thoughts are greater than our thoughts, but that doesn't always make it easier to understand. If you've ever struggled with this, let me share what has helped me. Have you ever had a child, niece, nephew, or friend's child ask for something they were convinced they needed? They had thought it through and believed it was the best thing for them, but you could see it wasn't because you knew where that choice would lead. For example, imagine a teenager begging to drop out of school because they're tired of the work and already have a job lined up. They think it's the best decision, but you know it will limit so many opportunities in the future. Because you love them, you say no. I think this is often how God answers our prayers. Good thing He doesn't give us everything we ask for because, just like children, we sometimes ask for things that aren't truly good for us. We think we know what we want, but God sees the whole picture. We may pray for a new job, only to later discover that job would have required constant travel or an unhealthy work environment. God protects us from countless things we never even know about because He is a good Father. I heard a song on the way to Adoration this morning—and you know how much I love songs. It's called "Somebody Prayed" by Crowder. The song is all about the power of prayer and reminds us that many of the blessings we experience today are the result of someone faithfully praying for us. It also reminds us that God hears every prayer, even when we don't immediately see the results. The song begins: Every night there by your bed You fold your hands and bow your head Throwing out another prayer in faith When you're wondering if He's hearing you Look at me, I'm living proof I'm only right where I am today Because somebody prayed These lyrics remind us that when we pray and do not see results, we can look at those around us and be confident that if God answers their prayers, He will answer ours, too. I think it is vital to remember that the answers to our prayers may not look like we want them to and may not come in the timing we want them to. I like how Crowder can realize that the reason he is where he is today is because his mom prayed for him a lot. So I hit my knees 'cause I've Seen all Heaven move (don't matter if you hit rock bottom My God pick you up when you call Him.) I pray, "Father, please" 'cause I've Seen what He can do (don't matter if the storm cloud coming My God come through when you call Him) I love this verse too because it says that it doesn't matter if you hit rock bottom because God will pick you up when you call Him. This reminds us that we are never too far down for God to pick us back up again. It also says it doesn't matter if the storm cloud is coming because God will come through when we call Him. Crowder says he has seen all heaven move, and he has seen what our heavenly Father can do. You might be in a storm right now, or you might be at your lowest point yet. Either way, you can rest assured that when you call on the Lord, He is going to answer that call. He is going to lift you up out of that pit or get you safely through that storm. That is just who He is. If you wonder if this is true, look around you at all the people you know who are struggling, or the ones who were struggling and have made it through to the other side.  They were not alone. God helped them, and if he helped them, he can help you too! These hands have no power There ain't an hour He don't come through That's why when mountains move, I say "Looks like somebody prayed” This verse is reminding us that we can do nothing without God. He is our source of power. He is our Savior. This is why, when something amazing happens in our lives, we should automatically know that someone was praying for us. Our default should be to thank God and to thank whoever was praying for us. Sometimes we think that because we didn't pray, then it wasn't God who helped us. However, there are so many people praying all the time. There were many saints who would send up prayers for anyone who needed them. Or they would pray for those who had no one else to pray for them. You might have a whole army of people praying for you, and yet you might not even know it. For instance, when someone asks me for prayer I usually ask my parents to also pray for them because I know my parents are mighty prayer warriors. I also ask my prayer group to pray, my Encounter Ministry fellow students, and the prayer line at my church. Then sometimes I would also add their request to these three online prayer requests websites, one of which is the Lourdes website. Do you see how someone could have a whole army of people praying for them and not even know it? For the child of God that's far from home The one who thinks they're too far gone I'm throwing out another prayer in faith (prayer in faith) Worn-out altars, tear-stained pews Still I won't give up on you I believe that anything can change When somebody prays I love this verse because he is talking to anyone who feels like they are far from home. Anyone who feels like they are too far gone. Then he tells them that he is praying for them. We all need to be praying for those who are far from home and think they are too far gone. There is no too far gone with the Lord. He is always willing to take us back. He is always waiting for us to realize that and to come home. I love it when he says he won't give up on us because he believes that anything can change when somebody prays. This is an important thing for us all to believe. It is so true. Anything can change when somebody prays. The enemy often tries to make us believe that our situation is too bad and that there is no solution. He tries to convince us that we don't need to pray because there isn't anything God can do for anyone. There isn't anything anyone can do. This is ridiculous! God can do anything! We might not see a way out, we might not think things can get better, but God can always make a way, even when we can't see how. It is always worth it to say a prayer. It can make all the difference in the world. Sometimes God is just waiting for you to ask. He is waiting for you to invite Him into it all. Why wouldn't we want God to be in all of it? I've seen miracles come from feeble words I've seen hospital rooms turned into cathedrals I've seen freedom come to the prisoner You can't tell me that prayer don't work The first line says, “I've seen miracles come from feeble words.” Do you know why I love this? I love it because it reminds us that we don't have to know what to say. We don't have to pray these long, eloquent prayers. We don't have to ask for the exact thing or say the exact right words in order for our prayers to be answered. It's not like in all those movies about making a wish on a genie in a bottle. If you don't get the wording perfectly, then something bad happens. God is not like that. We don't have to know the perfect thing to say. We just have to call upon his name and ask him for what we want. It goes on to say, “I've seen hospital rooms turned into cathedrals.” I think what he means by this is that hospital rooms can be a powerful place for prayer. Sitting by a loved one's bedside can prompt people to pray more. It can also help us to be bold and ask for more from the Lord. Desperation to save our loved ones can be a powerful motivator. He also says, I've seen freedom come to the prisoner.  This is another great result of prayer. You might know someone who is stuck in their past. They may be an actual prisoner in jail, or they may be a prisoner to guilt, shame, and unforgiveness. Either way, prayers can free them from their prison. I have seen it happen many times!! The song ends with: So every night there by your bed When you fold your hands and bow your head Not a single word you've ever said in vain 'Cause He hears everything I like this verse too because it reminds us that not a single word you've ever said is in vain. When we pray to God, He hears us. We can be confident in this, just as the scripture verse for today reminds us. God hears it all, whether you are in church praying or you are crying out to him in your car. Wherever you are, no matter how far gone you think you are, He always hears every word of it, and none of it was said in vain. He hears you, and He will answer your prayers according to his will and according to His timing. www.findingtruenorthcoaching.comCLICK HERE TO DONATECLICK HERE to sign up for Mentoring CLICK HERE to sign up for Daily "Word from the Lord" emailsCLICK HERE to sign up for my newsletter & receive a free audio training about inviting Jesus into your daily lifeCLICK HERE to buy my book Total Trust in God's Safe Embrace

Hannah had a husband who loved her and a home full of provision — but she also carried a grief no one else could fix. Her raw, unfiltered prayer in 1 Samuel 1 shows what happens when we stop holding it together and bring our rawest emotions to God. It's an honest look at what desperation does to a person, and where it might be leading you.

Putin is being pressed by some within the elite to call it quits and freeze the war on the current front line, by others to step up and try and impose a quick military solution. His natural impulse is to put off decisions, but Kyiv's campaign against Crimea may make that impossible. He seems determined to hold out for the last bit of the Donbas, so he has to escalate. With other options, from nuclear demonstration to stepping up the covert campaign in Europe not being viable, all he has is expanding the force in Ukraine, and that will require an unpopular and dangerous mobilisation. The podcast's corporate partner and sponsor is Conducttr, which provides software for innovative and immersive crisis exercises in hybrid warfare, counter-terrorism, civil affairs and similar situations.You can also follow my blog, In Moscow's Shadows, and become one of the podcast's supporting Patrons and gain question-asking rights and access to exclusive extra materials including the (almost-) weekly Govorit Moskva news briefing right here. Support the show

NO ONE TELLS YOU THIS WHEN YOU FIRST BEGIN FOLLOWING JESUS…If you walk with Jesus long enough—if you begin to take prayer seriously, if your relationship with Him becomes more than a Sunday habit and instead becomes the deepest priority of your life—you will almost certainly be led into seasons of silence and hiddenness. Not because God has abandoned you, but because He is forming you. We all imagine the spiritual life moving from one mountaintop to the next, from breakthrough to breakthrough, from answered prayer to answered prayer. But Jesus often leads His closest friends into places where there are no crowds, no applause, no obvious victories—only the quiet work of trust. The path of intimacy inevitably passes through hidden places. There, stripped of noise, recognition, and certainty,We begin to discover that God's greatest gift is not always what He places in our hands, but what He cultivates in our hearts: a holy dependence on His presence.

The prophets of Baal show us what worship looks like when you believe god is distant. The New Covenant shows us what worship looks like when you know the living God has made His home within you. We do not harm ourselves to get His attention. His blood has already been shed for us. We do not scream to wake Him. He lives in us as the hope of glory.

 When desperate people come to Jesus in humble faith, they discover a King who is both compassionate and powerful.

Do you worry about money? Not just the bills.That deeper feeling. The one that says, no matter how much you earn, it is never quite enough. That without it, you are not enough.I know that feeling. I lived inside it for a long time. I built a fashion company that traded across forty countries. I made more money than I ever imagined. And there were still days when I felt like the poorest person alive.The number was never the problem. My relationship with it was.I remember the day I checked my bank account and found it almost empty. The panic. The shame. I even felt ashamed that my husband was supporting me, not understanding that this was love, not charity.That was the day everything cracked open. Because what I found underneath the panic was not a money problem.It was a story I had carried since I was a little girl. Watching my mother work herself to exhaustion. Always chasing. Never resting. Never feeling it was enough.That story became mine. And I did not even know I was living inside it. Desperation does not attract abundance. Neither does control. Only love can do that. Only trust. Only surrender.This episode is a ten-minute practice I recorded for you. Not a strategy. Not five steps. A practice — the kind that shifts something from the inside.Press play. Ten minutes. That is all.WHAT YOU WILL FIND IN THIS EPISODE→ Why money anxiety is almost never really about money → The story you inherited — and how to finally recognise it → Why chasing and controlling keep abundance away → The difference between receiving and deserving → A guided ten-minute morning practice to reset your relationship with abundanceCHAPTERS00:00 — Money as one of our greatest teachers 02:20 — The emotional root of money anxiety — my personal story 05:02 — The energy of scarcity versus the energy of abundance 10:55 — The practice of receiving — why we block what we want most 15:08 — How your inner state shapes your outer reality 16:32 — Closing thoughts and an invitationKEY TAKEAWAYS— Desperation and control do not attract abundance.

This sermon is a Part II exploring Mark chapter 5, where we encounter a woman whose desperation becomes her doorway to healing. For twelve years, she lived as an outcast, ostracized by society, bleeding and broken. Yet in her darkest moment, she made a choice that would change everything: she pushed through the crowd to touch the hem of Jesus' garment. This wasn't just any touch—she was reaching for the tzitzit, the tassels that represented the messianic prophecy from Malachi 4:2 about the Son of Righteousness rising with healing in His wings. Her faith wasn't passive; it was active, courageous, and desperate. What's striking is that Jesus felt power leave Him in that moment, not because of proximity, but because of faith-filled desperation. Her desperation released power, and the same can be true for us when we stop playing church and start genuinely seeking His face.6/26 6/26Join us for service live every Sunday at 10am at 5600 Route 34 | Oswego, IL 60543.

The death toll from twin earthquakes in Venezuela now exceeds 1400 as desperation grows in the search for survivors. Foreign rescue teams are arriving in the country to assist efforts as Venezuelans grow frustrated with an apparent lack of official presence.

Global movements built on consistent desperation were flowing from the headship of a person who was in compromise. And that profound compromise was masked as prophetic zeal and then projected shame onto an entire generation. And what was proclaimed as spiritual hunger suddenly became a cry of guilt disguised as spiritual depth. And that culture taught hundreds of thousands of young people that perpetual desperation equals health and surrender before God. And it was wrong.

Your prospects don't hate your offer. They feel your desperation. And that's what's killing your sales. In this episode, Ray Higdon gets brutally honest about one of the most overlooked killers of conversion: the energy you bring into every sales conversation. Whether you call it eagerness, pushiness, or commission breath, prospects sense it and it sends them running, even when they actually want what you're selling. Ray breaks down three concrete steps to eliminate desperate energy from your prospecting for good. Step one: talk to more people. When you only have two prospects in your pipeline, desperation is almost unavoidable. When you're consistently reaching out to 30, 40, or 50 people a week, you stop fixating on any single outcome. Step two: stop focusing on your solution and start focusing on the problem your prospect has actually told you about. If you don't know what they're struggling with, it's likely because you've never asked. Step three: develop posture. Posture is the ability to manage the energy of a conversation without chasing, guilting, or pressuring. Ray shares the exact mindset he carried when reaching out to his warm market as he became the number one income earner in his company: "I'm going to do this with or without you." This episode is a masterclass in sales psychology for network marketers, direct sellers, and anyone who's ever felt like they were trying too hard. If you're ready to close more sales by caring less about any one outcome, this is the episode you've been waiting for. —

I almost never talk about the old stories, but today I'm pulling one back out because I think it might be exactly what you need right now. When I moved to Dallas fresh out of Baylor University with $63 to my name and no real plan, I had one thing going for me: I believed in the person in the mirror. What came next was unglamorous hustle through Craigslist free sections and Half Price Books, and it taught me something I've never forgotten about desperation, discipline, and investing in your future even when you're in survival mode. The real lesson here is not about what I did to survive. It is about why I never stopped building while I was just trying to get by. Key Takeaways Belief in yourself is a strategy. When I had no plan, no money, and no clear path, belief in the person in the mirror was the one asset I held onto that made everything else possible. Plan B is just making sure Plan A works. Do not build an exit strategy out of your own dream. Your fallback should be doubling down on yourself. Desperation and discipline both produce solutions. People who want it badly enough and people who are committed enough will find a way forward even when it is not pretty. Effectiveness matters more than appearance. Stop asking if something looks good and start asking if it works. Unglamorous effort that gets results beats a polished plan that goes nowhere. Even in survival mode, invest in your future. Put a portion of whatever you have toward where you want to go, or you will burn out running a hamster wheel with no destination. Action Steps Look yourself in the mirror today and honestly assess whether there is real fire behind your goal or whether it is just something you say. If the fire is gone, find out why before you take another step. Identify one unglamorous but effective action you can take right now to generate momentum toward your goal, even if it is something you would never post about on social media. Set aside a defined portion of your time or money, even if it is small, and commit it specifically to building your future self rather than just managing your present circumstances. Notable Quote If you truly want it bad enough, if you look yourself in the mirror and you literally see fire in your eyes, you'll find a way. It's not always glamorous, but you'll find a way.

https://media.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/media.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/ins.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/TSM731_FINAL.mp3   The survival set point is the pattern that has you saying yes when every part of you wants to say no — and it runs on a single, underlying emotion: desperation. In this episode, Steph Tuss and I get into why this set point is so pervasive among entrepreneurs, where it comes from, and what it’s quietly costing you in your health, your business, and your relationships. This is Part 3 of the Financial Setpoint Series. If you’re new to the series, Episode 729 introduces the full framework and includes access to the free Psychological Set Point Analyzer at lifeisnowinc.com/setpoint. Episode 730 covers the scarcity set point. Start there if you want the full picture. Survival Set Point: The Three Places It Shows Up in BusinessThe survival set point shows up most visibly in three areas. The first is client selection. When you’re operating from survival mode, the fear of having nothing is louder than your judgment about whether someone is a good fit. You take the client who gives you bad energy in the discovery call. You work with the team member you know is underperforming because the thought of not finding someone better feels too risky. The underlying belief is the same in both cases: if I say no to this, there might not be anything else. The second is scope creep. When a client pushes a deadline, asks for extra deliverables, or slips requests in outside the original agreement, you feel it in your body first — that tightening, that discomfort. But then your mind goes to work justifying it. They’re a good client. I don’t want them to be upset. I’ll just do it this once. And you cave. Every time. That’s not a communication problem. That’s a survival set point telling you that holding a boundary means losing something you can’t afford to lose. The third is the slow-period panic. When business slows down, the survival set point amplifies into something closer to crisis mode. Desperation and panic run together, and when you’re in panic, you lose the ability to think clearly. You slash prices and pivot to things you don’t actually want to do. You make reactive decisions that feel urgent but aren’t strategic — and the first thing you sacrifice is the clear thinking that would actually solve the problem. Survival Set Point: Where It Starts and Why Entrepreneurs Are Especially VulnerableMost of the business owners Steph and I have worked with over the past 35 years grew up in some form of a chaotic household. That’s not a coincidence. When your sense of safety as a child depended on reading the room, managing unpredictable people, or simply taking care of yourself, your nervous system learns to operate in survival mode as its default. The problem is that when you become an adult and start a business, your subconscious doesn’t automatically update. It keeps running the same programming — except now the stakes feel like payroll and client relationships instead of childhood survival. One of the things Steph pointed out in this conversation is that the survival set point is also a control set point. People who grew up in chaos learned to cope by controlling whatever they could. In business, that shows up as micromanaging your team when money gets tight, over-involvement in every decision, and an inability to delegate — not because you don’t trust your people, but because releasing control feels genuinely dangerous. The cost shows up in your team’s performance, in your health, and eventually in the sustainability of the business itself. The Cost — and the Path OutThe survival set point is one of the most physically taxing of the four types. The constant state of low-grade anxiety, dysregulated cortisol, and fear-based decision-making takes a real toll. Steph and I both see it in clients who are struggling with persistent health issues — fatigue, disrupted sleep, and the kind of chronic stress that accumulates when you never feel safe. The financial cost is equally real. Surviving month to month, using lines of credit to relieve pressure rather than to invest, and making decisions from fear rather than strategy — none of these move the business forward. They just buy another month. The way out is awareness first, then reprogramming. The Psychological Set Point Analyzer at lifeisnowinc.com/setpoint will tell you whether survival is your primary pattern, along with a seven-day plan to start shifting it. Steph and I are also hosting the Elite Mind Intensive on August 18th and 19th — two days focused specifically on set point work at a deeper level. Details are in the show notes.  Episode 542 – Reverse Engineer Your Vision Episode 470 – Be Grateful for the Opportunity to Work Episode 129 – What’s the Difference Between a True Desire, a Want, Lust, or a Fear-Based Need? YOU'VE LEARNED THE STRATEGIES… SO WHY DOES YOUR REVENUE STILL CONTINUE TO PLATEAU?Here’s what I know about most business owners: They’re working hard, doing the right things, and still hitting the same income ceiling year after year. That ceiling has a name — it’s your Financial Set Point. It’s the unconscious limit you’ve placed on what you believe you can earn, and until you see it clearly, it runs the show no matter what strategies you put in place.That’s what we work on at my upcoming Business Intensive in August.  Over two days, I'll help you identify your financial set point, understand why it’s there, and break through it so you can finally earn what you want without the constant struggle and hustle that’s been getting you nowhere.If that sounds like exactly what’s been missing, you don’t want to sit this one out.

He is the author of several influential books, including High-Profit Prospecting, High-Profit Selling, and A Mind for Sales, and is widely recognized for his practical insights on prospecting, mindset, and building trust-based sales relationships that drive long-term business success.SHOW SUMMARYIn this episode of Selling from the Heart, Larry Levine and Darrell Amy welcome renowned sales expert, author, and keynote speaker Mark Hunter, known around the world as "The Sales Hunter," to discuss his latest book, Integrity First Selling: How to Create Better Sales with Better Customers.Mark challenges conventional sales thinking by reminding listeners that sales is not about moving products—it's about serving people. He explains why the most successful sales professionals focus on helping buyers achieve outcomes they never thought possible rather than simply chasing quotas, commissions, or quarter-end numbers.The conversation explores what it truly means to put integrity first in sales, including aligning with the buyer's journey, building trust through transparency, and playing the long game even when short-term pressure tempts salespeople to do otherwise. Mark also shares practical insights on prospecting, pipeline development, leadership, accountability, and why many organizations mistakenly create the very buying behaviors they complain about.In a marketplace increasingly crowded by AI-generated noise and transactional selling, Mark makes the case that trust, authenticity, and consistency remain the most valuable competitive advantages a salesperson can possess.This episode is a powerful reminder that sales done with integrity doesn't just create better customers—it creates better careers, stronger relationships, and lasting success.KEY TAKEAWAYSSales is fundamentally about serving people, not selling products.Integrity-first selling requires joining the buyer's journey rather than forcing your own agenda.Long-term trust always outperforms short-term sales tactics.End-of-quarter discounting often trains customers to delay purchasing decisions.Healthy pipelines eliminate desperation and create better customer experiences.Sales leaders should focus on creating opportunities, not simply closing deals.HIGHLIGHT QUOTESSales is serving people. It's not selling stuff. The products we sell are simply the medium we use to help people.Closing without integrity creates revenue today and regret tomorrow.The easy sale isn't the one you get. It's the one you deserve.Desperation at the end of the quarter is usually the result of poor pipeline discipline at the beginning of the quarter.Being the same person at work and at home makes life simpler and sales more effective.ADDITIONAL RESOURCESExplore the secrets of heart-centered leadership and thriving workplace cultures with Culture from the Heart Podcast!

Democrats have reached that stage where they find themselves in a bad poker game.They're smiling, bluffing, and pushing chips into the middle of the table. And they don't realize that everybody else can see their cards reflected in the sunglasses.That's where Democrats are right now.Everywhere you look, another piece of the machine is rattling loose. Not one thing. Not two things. It's coming from every direction.Election integrity?[X] SB – CA AG Ron BontaPresident Trump and his team apparently decided that if you're going to clean house, you might as well check the attic, the basement, and the neighbor's shed while you're at it. Colorado's Secretary of State Jena Griswold is now facing a federal lawsuit, which tells you something important. The conversation has shifted.For years, if you questioned election procedures, Democrats treated you like you had wandered into a Walmart wearing a tinfoil sombrero and carrying a pet iguana. Now suddenly courts are involved, investigations are happening, and people are asking questions that were supposedly forbidden just a few years ago.Funny how "conspiracy theory" often turns into "breaking news" after enough time passes.Meanwhile, over in Wackademia, where common sense goes to die and student loans go to reproduce, we've got another collection of stories that feel less like news and more like rejected sitcom scripts.A Denver school board unanimously voted to fire a teacher accused of making female students kiss each other and grading them on it.Unanimously.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Kingdom Activation of Remnant Ministry – Foundational Issues Part 1 | KIB 535 Kingdom Intelligence Briefing Description Are you ready for what God is about to release in the earth? In this powerful episode of the Kingdom Intelligence Briefing, Dr. Michael and Mary Lou Lake explore the spiritual preparation necessary for the activation of remnant ministry in the last days. As darkness increases and many believers struggle with discouragement and hopelessness, God is calling His people to deeper faith, greater endurance, and unwavering covenant fidelity. Mary Lou begins by addressing the enemy's strategy to attack God's calling on your life from the very beginning. She shares biblical encouragement for overcoming hopelessness and maintaining confidence in God's promises even during seasons of tribulation. Dr. Lake then dives deep into the biblical meaning of belief, revealing that true faith is far more than a one-time decision. Through an examination of John 3:16, Abraham's journey of faith, and the teachings of the New Testament, he demonstrates that genuine belief produces transformation, endurance, obedience, and spiritual maturity. This episode also examines: The difference between easy-believism and biblical faith Why God is preparing remnant believers for Kingdom assignments The necessity of covenant faithfulness in the last days How Babylonian systems have distorted ministry models The importance of returning to the biblical patterns found in the Book of Acts Why believers must develop spiritual discernment in an age of deception and AI-driven confusion The transition from being servants of God to becoming His trusted friends As God begins activating His remnant, it is crucial that believers build their lives upon biblical foundations rather than worldly systems.

There are millions of people walking around looking perfectly fine while fighting battles no one can see. In this deeply validating conversation, Amy Kurtz joins Ginny Yurich to talk about chronic illness, medical gaslighting, invisible suffering, and the surprising challenges that can remain even after your body starts to heal. After spending more than a decade searching for answers and eventually being diagnosed with late-stage neurological Lyme disease, Amy realized that recovery isn't always the end of the story. She shares the concept she coined Medical Trauma Brain and explains why so many people remain stuck in fear, hypervigilance, grief, and survival mode long after the crisis has passed. This episode is full of hope, practical tools, and powerful reminders that healing involves more than the body. If you've ever felt dismissed, misunderstood, or trapped on a hamster wheel of desperation, this conversation will make you feel seen.
