Podcasts about discerning

Not every true statement comes from a Godly spirit.

Many believers are carrying heavy responsibilities, facing intense pressure, and navigating demanding seasons of life and ministry. But how do you know whether you're on the verge of breakthrough—or headed toward burnout? In this practical and timely teaching, Joseph Mattera explores the difference between healthy spiritual stretching and unhealthy exhaustion. He unpacks biblical principles that help leaders and believers discern their season, steward their energy wisely, and remain aligned with God's purpose without sacrificing their spiritual, emotional, or physical health. In this episode, you'll learn: • Key indicators of breakthrough and burnout • How to discern God's timing in difficult seasons • Why rest is a biblical principle, not a sign of weakness • The difference between carrying a cross and carrying unnecessary burdens • How to maintain spiritual vitality while pursuing God's calling God never called us to live depleted, distracted, or disconnected from His presence. He calls us to walk in wisdom, strength, and sustainable fruitfulness.

There's an invitation from the Lord to step into a greater understanding of the season we are in. It's from this place that we can more clearly hear and yield to His voice. In this message, Hayley Braun shares a timely word unpacking the importance of discerning the times well while following the voice of God. The Lord is calling us, as a Body, to understand the timing we are in. On the journey of our faith, there will be seasons that carry unique assignments. The way we approach and navigate them—individually—often looks different. How do we know when God is inviting us into something new? What does it look and sound like when our spirit discerns fresh direction? The voice of God calls for a response, and as a people after His heart, we want nothing more than to respond well. This is a moment to come together, realign with the season we are in, and say “yes” to both what He's doing and to what He's invited us into. We bless you as you listen!

Father John Eckert joins Dcn. Patrick Conley to discuss Discerning your Vocation (5:24) what is a vocation? Going even deeper into your vocation. Email from Rob – How do I get over past sins that haunt me? (24:50) Break 1 (26:37. How do you know when you should start discerning your vocation?

How do you spot false teaching when it doesn't look false? When it sounds holy, feels loving, and maybe even sounds better than real Christianity?In this sermon, Pastor Jim walks us through 1 Timothy 3:14–4:5 and gives us the tools to answer that question. The church has been entrusted with something sacred — the gospel of Jesus Christ — and Paul calls her the pillar and buttress of truth. That means what we believe and how we live it out both matter. A healthy church needs both hands.From theological triage to the sons of Sceva, from seared consciences to the prosperity gospel, Pastor Jim traces the anatomy of false teaching and lands on one defining mark: false teaching always leaves Jesus behind. It doesn't deny Jesus outright — it just slowly moves past him. And the most dangerous version doesn't feel dangerous at all. It feels like peace.The antidote isn't more theological expertise. It's staying centered on Jesus. Staying close to him. Staying here with him.If you've ever wondered how to discern what's true from what just sounds true, this one is for you.

In this profound and timely teaching, Minister Chiquita Robinson dives deep into the books of 1 Samuel and 2 Samuel to examine the powerful dynamic between David, Jonathan, and Jonathan's son, Mephibosheth. Through personal testimony and scriptural analysis, Minister Robinson exposes how the enemy uses past injuries, fear, and deep-seated unforgiveness to hinder your spiritual walk and trap you in a cycle of shame. The message beautifully shifts from the tragedy of being "dropped" by those who were supposed to care for us to the overwhelming grace of King David's covenant promise. Ultimately, this teaching points directly to the New Covenant in Jesus Christ, showing that we no longer have to remain lame in our circumstances. We are invited to pull up a chair to the table of the King, receive restoration for things we didn't even sow, and stand firmly on a brand-new foundation. Main points from this message include: -- Understanding the difference between clothing yourself in fear and jealousy versus being clothed in the pure love of a covenant friendship. -- Recognizing that the enemy's persecution and intimidation tactics are a direct result of him being terrified that the Lord is with you. -- Discerning when to walk by faith and when the Lord is actually calling you to lay down and rest by faith. -- Releasing true forgiveness by giving it directly to the Father, freeing yourself from the "blame game" and the trap of self-centered bitterness. -- Realizing that through Jesus, your identity is completely transformed from a place of shame into a joint-heir who eats continually at the King's table.

In our day, this virtue has been twisted and weaponized into a toxic tool of manipulation that controls the culture and may even bring about our destruction. But do we have the discernment to disarm it?“There is a form of empathy--an ungodly, sinful form of it; and the reason it is so dangerous is that while other sins are often recognized as potentially bad, most people have a hard time imagining how empathy could ever be harmful. So if I'm the devil, where am I going to hide some of my most destructive tactics? It would be under the thing that no one thought could be bad.”Joe Rigney, “The Sin of Empathy”We hope you enjoy Pastor Ray's provocative prophetic message: “Toxic Empathy”

Most leaders are carrying an energetic weight they were never meant to hold alone. In our current professional climate, those committed to equity and belonging face a quiet but painful trend: being hushed—subtly or overtly signaled to continue their transformative work with less organizational support, shrinking budgets, and higher personal risk. The resulting collective grief is not an abstract concept; it is a physical weight carried in our tissues. In this special debrief episode, Rhodes Perry sits down with yoga therapist and fellow Reiki Master practitioner, Chrissy Hoffman, to look back on their very first Collective Peace Share. Together, they pull back the curtain on their initial hesitations, share participants' breakthroughs, and explore how dropping our professional armor allows us to move from isolated survival strategies to communal aliveness. Doing the Inner Work In a workplace landscape that often feels upside-down, navigating the grief of transition requires turning our focus inward. This conversation explores how leaders can build the internal resilience necessary to navigate systemic setbacks by: Overcoming the Fear of "Too Woo." Moving past the ego's anxiety about blending high-performance leadership strategy with deep, intuitive spiritual healing. The Shift from "Fighting" to "Healing." Discerning the natural evolution in a values-driven leader's journey from early career "truth and justice" activism to sustainable "love and healing" frameworks. Communal Grief Integration. Re-learning how to process structural loss and exhaustion collectively rather than internalizing stress as an emotional sponge. The Architecture of Leading Embodied. Using ancient energetic hygiene tools to self-regulate, unlock creative business flows, and clear the mental static caused by external uncertainty. Episode Highlights [00:02:31] Naming Today's Reality. Rhodes addresses the profound sense of grief professionals are facing due to anti-DEI rollbacks, framing collective grief through the lens of Francis Weller's The Wild Edge of Sorrow: it was never meant to be carried in isolation. [00:04:20] Tracking the Resistance. Rhodes shares his initial hesitation to pitch this gathering to executives and entrepreneurs racing to adapt to AI and technological disruption, and how moving through his own resistance revealed a massive collective craving for a supportive container. [00:05:48] "I Have Been Waiting For This." Chrissy and Rhodes share moving feedback from a participant—a seasoned divorce attorney—who highlighted how desperately professional leaders need spaces where they can step out of "facilitator" mode and drop their protective armor. [00:11:33] Truth & Justice vs. Love & Healing. Inspired by a recent energetic shift, Rhodes outlines the evolution of his professional life: transitioning from a fiery younger advocate focused on dismantling oppressive structures, to a creative healer centering empathy, somatic wisdom, and organizational belonging. [00:16:22] Corrupt Systems, Not Human Enemies. Chrissy reflects on a powerful lesson from activist Mahmood Khalil: "No human is the enemy; corrupt systems are the enemy." She shares how shifting away from an immediate trigger response allows leaders to practice deep humility and listen with greater flexibility. [00:21:06] Previewing Lead Embodied. Rhodes reveals how editing his upcoming book, Lead Embodied: Roads Less Traveled to Authentic Leadership, served as his own medicine at the start of the year, reminding him that changing our internal shapes is a prerequisite for co-creating a space of external belonging. [00:27:37] The Three Pillars of Collective Practice. A breakdown of the core organizing principles of the Peace Share: Presence (holding the now without anxiety), Influence (focusing on our internal state), and Somatic Gratitude (anchoring to what is real right now rather than spiritual bypassing). "I love that you are looking specifically at grief—and how holding space for it, infused with the energy of love—which is what Reiki is—is what is most needed now. If we are to contain all that peace requires, we must learn to hold the frequency of heartbreak." — Yael Flusberg, Yoga Therapist and Reiki Master Teacher Show Notes & Resources

This reflection by Layperson Lisa connects her recent experience on the Elie Chain Walk in Scotland to the spiritual celebration of the Most Holy Trinity.Key Themes:The Weight of Life: During her hike, Lisa encountered heavy chains used to help travelers navigate rocky coastal cliffs (0:45-1:15). She uses these chains as a metaphor for the burdens—such as doubt, pride, sin, and negative thoughts—that can weigh people down in their daily lives (1:20-3:05).The Trinity Within: Lisa emphasizes that God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit dwell within us. We are described as "tabernacles" or "shrines" of the Trinity (2:10-2:22). She argues that by relying on this inner presence, believers can find the freedom to overcome life's metaphorical chains.Discerning the Path: Reflecting on her hike, she recalls moments where she felt lost or scared on the cliffs until she trusted the guidance of her companion, Deacon Dave, who pointed out her footholds (3:30-4:45). Similarly, she encourages viewers to trust in God's guidance and seek His clarity when navigating the uncertainties of life (4:50-5:20).Call to Reflection: Lisa invites viewers to reflect on what currently burdens them—such as unforgiveness, comparison, or divisiveness—and ask the Trinity for the freedom to break those chains and live authentically (5:25-6:11).

In this lesson, Pastor Dale teaches on the importance of exercising spiritual discernment to determine the source of the words we receive into our lives and the spirits and motives behind them. The motive of the enemy is always to move believers away from the plan and purposes of God. Not only will Satan weaponize the words spoken over us by others, he will also attempt to use against us the words we say to ourselves. Regular fellowship with God and reliance on the unction of the Holy Spirit within us is key to discerning whose voice is speaking to us. Recognizing a counterfeit voice is much easier when we are familiar with the voice - and the Words - of our Heavenly Father.

In this episode of When She Serves, Brenda and guest Janie Alford begin a three-part series on spiritual gifts by focusing on the manifestation gifts in 1 Corinthians 12:1–11, emphasizing that these are visible works of the Holy Spirit given “for the profit of all,” not badges of spirituality or tools for entertainment or profit. They discuss how the Spirit distributes gifts as He wills and why they must operate under Scripture, with discernment to guard against misuse, false prophecy, celebrity culture, and manipulative or fraudulent practices. The conversation defines and distinguishes word of wisdom, word of knowledge, faith, healings, miracles, prophecy, discerning of spirits, tongues, and interpretation of tongues, including biblical guidelines for order in corporate worship (especially 1 Corinthians 14) and encouragement to desire and practice these gifts in the church and everyday ministry.00:00 Fake Prophets Warning00:52 Series Overview01:40 Purpose of Gifts04:04 Misuse and Discernment05:37 Reading 1 Corinthians 1207:30 Gifts as He Wills08:55 Word of Wisdom12:21 Word of Knowledge15:48 Gift of Faith19:53 Healing Gift Abuses24:31 Miracles Defined25:06 What Counts as Miracles26:34 Salvation as Miracle27:33 Gift of Prophecy29:24 Discerning of Spirits31:56 Tongues Explained34:16 Order in Worship36:05 Prayer Language Benefits39:30 Singing in Tongues39:54 Interpretation and Testing42:47 Gifts for Today44:59 Scripture Wrap Up45:39 Final Encouragement

The sermon “Discerning the Will of God” explains that understanding God’s will is less about discovering a hidden plan and more about growing in wisdom, trust, and relationship with God. Pastor Donny Abbott teaches that believers can discern God’s guidance through five key sources: God’s Word, wise counsel from other believers, life circumstances, the Holy Spirit, and prayer. Scripture provides clear principles that shape decisions, while trusted mentors and friends offer valuable perspective. Circumstances can sometimes point to God’s direction, but they should never be relied on alone because open and closed doors can be misleading. The Holy Spirit guides, comforts, and convicts believers as they walk closely with God, and prayer helps cultivate trust, wisdom, and dependence on Him. Ultimately, the sermon emphasizes that God is not hiding His will from His people; rather, He desires to lead them through a relationship with Him, and confidence grows when His Word, wise counsel, circumstances, the Holy Spirit, and prayer all begin to align.

How do we hear from God when life is loud and our schedules are overflowing? In this message, Erin Gaines explores four practical ways to hear God's voice in everyday life. Drawing from personal stories and the powerful account of Peter and Cornelius in Acts 10, Erin shows how building a daily connection with God transforms the way we parent, navigate relationships, and respond to the people around us. Whether you're in a busy season or searching for your next step, this message will encourage you to slow down, tune in, and discover what God is already saying.

Bible teacher Edna Blake talks about her years of discipling people organically:  a life-on-life walk with others where both sides grow, leading people to Jesus through His word, and how it applies to where they're at.  Daniel Darling, author of "Biblical Wisdom for Everyday Life," talks about how to apply Biblical principles to some of the many confusing issues of modern life that aren't directly mentioned in Bible, or are complicated by our modern contexts.   The Reconnect with Carmen and all Faith Radio are made possible by your support.

In just 22 minutes, I'll share spiritual truths that will forever change the way you see everything. Once you learn this, there's no going back. You may see things you never noticed, and some you wish you hadn't. But with the Holy Spirit's guidance, you'll walk in clarity and truth as you sharpen your spiritual senses.   The Encounter Podcast Ep.93  

How do you discern the will of God in a world full of noise, uncertainty, and competing voices? Whether facing major life decisions or everyday choices, many people wrestle with wanting clarity while fearing they might miss God’s plan. Rather than treating God’s will like a hidden mystery to decode, we’re invited into a deeper relationship built on trust, wisdom, and spiritual maturity. Discernment grows as we learn to recognize God’s voice through His Word, wise counsel, prayer, the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and even the circumstances of life. God’s desire is not simply to hand out detailed instructions for every decision, but to shape people who walk closely with Him. Through prayer and surrender, our hearts become more aligned with His character and priorities. Even when the path forward feels unclear, God is not distant or indifferent—He is patient, present, and faithful to lead each step. True discernment is less about achieving perfect certainty and more about growing in trust as you faithfully follow Him.

12 For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.1 Corinthians 13:1233 I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation.John 16:33When peace like a river, attendeth my wayWhen sorrows like sea billows rollWhatever my lot, thou hast taught me to sayIt is well, it is well, with my soulHoratio SpaffordThe same suffering that softens one heart can harden another—not because God changed, but because suffering reveals what we think about Him.Discerning SufferingDiscern: to detect with the eyes; a figure approaching through the fogSuffering has the ability to distort our vision.The problem isn't suffering itself, or even the groan we feel in the suffering. The problem is most people look at the suffering but never learn to ask the right questions to discern what they are looking at.17 Now when Jesus came, he found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb four days. 18 Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two miles off, 19 and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary to console them concerning their brother. 20 So when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, but Mary remained seated in the house. 21 Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died. 22 But even now I know that whatever you ask from God, God will give you.” 23 Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.” 24 Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day.” 25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, 26 and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?”John 11:17-2621 Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.John 11:2123 Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.” 24 Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day.” 25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, 26 and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?”John 11:23-26Do you believe this?”John 11:26“If God were good, He would wish to make His creatures perfectly happy, and if God were almighty, He would be able to do what He wished. But the creatures are not happy. Therefore God lacks either goodness, power, or both.”C.S. LewisGOD IS GOODOh, how abundant is your goodness, which you have stored up for those who fear you and worked for those who take refuge in you, in the sight of the children of mankind!Psalm 31:19Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.James 1:17ASSUMPTIONS WE MUST QUESTION:“If God is good, He will prioritize my comfort”Reality: Because God really is good, we can rest in the fact that no suffering has the ability to take away true comfort.Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.2 Corinthians 1:3-4“If God is good, then He owes me an explanation”Reality: Because God really is good, we can rest in the fact that no suffering has the ability to change who He is.Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.James 1:17“If God is good, then He shouldn't allow suffering”Reality: Because God really is good, we can rest in the fact that no suffering is beyond is fatherly care.Or which one of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!Matthew 7:9-11QUESTIONS WE MUST ASK OURSELVES:What am I feeling?What story am I living?Is that story true?What is true?The cross helps us see in the darkAt the cross, ultimate suffering and ultimate goodness are not separate realities. Both can exist together.

How do you tell the difference between a true spiritual teacher and someone who is subtly using you? In this timely and thought-provoking episode, Dr. Margaret Paul tackles a topic that is as widespread as it is rarely addressed: spiritual deception. Not the obvious, overt kind — but the subtle kind, where false prophets speak kindly, share genuine insight, and still manage to keep you dependent, doubtful, and disconnected from your own inner authority. Dr. Paul explains that a false prophet is not defined by what they say, but by their intent. She walks through the key red flags to watch for, the qualities that distinguish true spiritual teachers from those seeking power, and why the most important protection is a strong connection to your own inner and higher knowing.  Come explore how to develop discernment, strengthen your loving adult, and learn to trust truth over charm in Discerning False Prophets here on the Inner Bonding podcast.   Enjoy the podcast?

Aliens, UFOs, UAPs, secret pastor meetings, and the Bible. Would the discovery of extraterrestrial life cause Christians to reject Scripture? Pastor Cole Phillips and Pastor Bobby Fraumann talk about recent UAP disclosures, why Christians should avoid panic and conspiracy-driven theology, how the Bible speaks about creation and spiritual beings, and why Jesus remains supreme over all creation.Christian faith isn't fragile.

Both fail the test.” I'm reformed, I'm evangelical, I'm catholic, I am Baptist, I am a Calvinist…why not Christian Reminds me - I am of Paul; I am of Apollos.  1 Corinthians 3:4-9:  4For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” are you not being merely human? 5What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, as the Lord assigned to each. 6I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. 7So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth. 8He who plants and he who waters are one, and each will receive his wages according to his labor. 9For we are God's fellow workers. You are God's field, God's building. Fellow Christians (regardless of denomination) - Let us come reason together Unity of the Body of Christ for His work The enemy loves to divide. “In essentials, unity; in non-essentials, liberty; in all things, charity” - Rupertus Meldenius Key Text: 1 John 4  Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3 but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.4 You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. 5 They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them. 6 We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the Spirit[a] of truth and the spirit of falsehood. God's Love and Ours.7 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. 10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. 11 Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12 No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.13 This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit. 14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. 15 If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God. 16 And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. 17 This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus. 18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.19 We love because he first loved us. 20 Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen. 21 And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister. How do Christian men discern truth without becoming tools of deception or hatred? God demands we test the spirits (v.1) Confess Christ rightly (v.2-3 Listen to apostolic truth (v.6) Love as evidence of knowing God (v.7-21). Confronting the two ditches History (Brief Overview) Early Church: Mixed – some respect for Jewish roots, but supersessionism/replacement theology grew No longer Jew nor Gentile, but the Church and the world  Justin Martyr, later hardened replacement theology Led to disdain, pogroms (violent, mob-driven attacks—typically riots involving looting, assault, rape, murder, and destruction of property—targeted at a specific ethnic or religious groups.)  Martin Luther's later writings (On the Jews and Their Lies) exemplify tragic failure of love. Reformation/ Puritans: Varied; some future hope for Jewish people (pre-Darby).  John Nelson Darby (1800s, Plymouth Brethren) systematized dispensationalism:  distinct Israel/Church track  pre-trib rapture  literal futurist readings  Popularized via Scofield Reference Bible (1909). Fueled 20th-century evangelical support for Israel. Zionist movement: Jewish political nationalism (Theodor Herzl, late 1800s) responded to European antisemitism. Christian Zionism often overlapped but with eschatological motives. Scofield influence: Shaped views of unconditional land promises. Post-Holocaust: Shifts toward Philo-Semitism (the admiration, respect, or obsession with Jewish people, culture, or history, often by non-Jews) in reaction to Church failures, but some swung to uncritical political allegiance. Modern swing: Newly Reformed / postmillennial / reconstructionist circles reacting against shallow dispensationalism by over-correcting into ethnic suspicion or outright antisemitism.  Examples:  Holocaust minimization “Zionist Occupied Government" echoes Treating all Jewish influence as cabal-like.  This is not discernment – it's another false spirit. Practical tests for Discerning information from 1 John 4 (This is the point): Does the source confess Christ preeminent - Love the Lord your God with everything  or push fear/hate/nationalism as gospel? Does it promote love for neighbors?  Prayer for enemies? Cross-reference history, primary sources, multiple views – not echo chambers. To "Reformed" Bros: Opposition to dispensational errors is fine; becoming ethnic scoffers is apostasy from apostolic love. To Zionists: Israel's existence isn't carte blanche; critique policies Biblically. This is one area - lots of other ditches  Women's role / value Poet and Warrior Both: Media profits from division. Web algorithms radicalize.  (1 Thess 5:21). but test everything; hold fast what is good.

Office politics doesn't happen because people are scheming. It happens because no one wrote anything down. In the absence of clear ways of working, the preferences of the most powerful people fill the vacuum and suddenly half your attention is spent learning whose attachment format to use rather than doing the actual work. In this episode, Rodney and Sam dig into one of the most universal and underdiagnosed org patterns: the political operating system. They explore why politics can feel more fun than good process, why "influence without authority" is just pandering with better branding, and how to start replacing implicit norms with something more durable than whoever's in the room at that moment. -------------------------------- Ready to change your organization? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Let's talk.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Get our newsletter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sign up here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Follow us: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ -------------------------------- Mentioned references: The Ready's OS Canvas: https://www.theready.com/os-canvas Essential Intent: BNW Ep. 90 with Greg McKeown Even/Overs: BNW Ep. 44 Dual Transformation: AWWTR Ep. 43 Andrea Robb Action Meeting Episode: BNW Ep. 80 with Sam Spurlin Directly Responsible Individual (DRI) User Manual to Me: BNW Ep. 159 00:00 Intro + Check-In: What's a skill you rarely get to show off? 03:08 The Pattern: We cater to those in power when there's no org clarity 05:17 Leveraging relationships to do work feels good in the moment 09:12 Discerning what's best for a leader vs. best for the work 13:11 Experience navigating CEO preference 17:06 Politics is more fun than building a good OS 20:12 Leaders come and go, and take their preferences with them 22:08 Politicking wastes organizational attention 27:00 Short term politics at odds with long term value 31:32 Andrea Robb's organizing principles 34:23 Leadership politics keeps you from the truth 37:10 Example navigating a leader during an offsite 41:33 Change #1: Don't depend on only one person 43:55 Change #2: Get a new set of eyes to challenge assumptions 46:34 Change #3: Write.

"When I find myself going back to that reactivity mode or older way of thinking, I have to step back and ask, 'What do I really want?'" In this episode, Heather and Alexis Dean explore what it really means to take ownership of your ambition, your emotional world, and the desires you keep pushing aside. The things that irritate or trigger you aren't random; they're signals pointing directly to where you're being asked to grow. This conversation challenges the instinct to blame, label, or control, and instead invites you into a deeper level of self-responsibility, curiosity, and intention. Because when you stop outsourcing your discomfort and start listening to it, you unlock a completely different way of leading your life, your work, and your relationships. What to listen for:  ☑️ The things that piss you off are a guide around where you need to do more work ☑️ Women need to feed their ambitions so they don't end up resentful and angry ☑️ Using curiosity to uncover where you're holding yourself back "If you're the one who has the pull and the desire to move a vision forward, and that's your natural gift, it's on you to accept and to lean into it. My resentment was actually me trying to blame somebody else for my own emotional discomfort." ☑️ Discerning between "hard" and emotionally uncomfortable actions ☑️ Operating from a collaborative lens rather than controlling others ☑️ Living your life intentionally instead of following gender norms "It's fine if you want to follow gender norms. The challenge is when people don't actually press pause and examine, 'Is this serving us? Is this how we want to lead our lives and live and work and everything else?'" ☑️ Why using labels is often just a way to avoid feeling our emotions ☑️ Navigating societal norms as a new mother who also runs a business ☑️ What can you do today to create more space and time flexibility? *** About Alexis Dean: For more than two decades, Alexis Dean has helped leaders build teams rooted in trust, accountability, and emotional courage. She believes that good people don't automatically create strong cultures, intentional leadership does. As the founder of Two Roads Training & Team Building, Alexis works with executive teams to help them build high-trust environments where performance and humanity can coexist. She's known for making the conversations most people avoid feel practical, doable, and transformative. Alexis is also the founder of The Dovetail Community, a mastermind and retreat experience for women leading 7- to 9-figure companies who want growth without losing themselves in the process. Alexis's work isn't just about boardrooms, it's about what happens at home, too. She believes women are often leading their families emotionally, strategically, and logistically,  whether or not anyone names it that way. In a culture that still questions women's authority, stepping fully into leadership, at work and at home, requires clarity, boundaries, and a willingness to be misunderstood.

This week, Laura is joined by her good friend Holly Todd and a special guest from South Africa. He shares powerful firsthand experiences from years of fighting against child trafficking alongside his family, shedding light on a heartbreaking reality impacting our world today. Together, they dive into the deeper spiritual battle woven throughout our culture—one that not only distorts truth, but also contributes to the spiritual and systematic devaluation of women and the exploitation of the vulnerable. They discuss how women and men are uniquely created with purpose, and why understanding that design is essential in the fight for truth. As the conversation unfolds, they highlight the importance of situational awareness, critical thinking, and historical context when navigating today's cultural conversations—from global issues like Israel to the perspectives shaping younger generations. In a world full of noise and confusion, they emphasize the need to slow down, seek truth in Scripture, and rely on the Holy Spirit for discernment. This conversation is a call to awareness and action—encouraging us to stand up for others, pursue truth with wisdom, and remain grounded in what is eternally true. Learn more about your ad choices.
