2 Peter 1:5-7 — Christians can find themselves discouraged or depressed in their faith, noticing that attempts to grow in knowledge are met with fatigue or busyness. Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones explains in this sermon on 2 Peter 1:5-7 how this is not just a coincidence. Symptoms of spiritual depression are subtle and come creeping into the Christian life. Times like this remind the child of God of their life before Christ, one filled with uncertainty, shallowness, and misery. Causes for this spiritual depression come from having the wrong view of faith and sheer lack of diligence. Christians must safeguard their time with the Lord, be diligent to grow deeper in faith and in the knowledge of the Lord, and supplement faith with virtue. Faith grows when the pressures of the world are confronted with the truth of God's Word. When this is done with patience and diligence, the Christian will not be as prone to fall away, and will begin to grow and enjoy the Christian life with abundance.

The Cold Truth About Motivation vs. Discipline You've been lied to. Motivation vs. discipline isn't just a trendy debate...it's the line between mediocrity and mastery. Motivation isn't the magic spark that leads to greatness. It's the reason most people keep starting... and stopping. Motivation is a dopamine hit. Discipline is a decision. In this world of self-help memes and viral videos screaming "get motivated!", too many men are seduced by short-term hype. They ride waves of emotion...pumped after a podcast, fired up by a film montage...only to crash back into inertia when life gets uncomfortable. The battlefield isn't your schedule. It's your standard. And in the war of motivation vs. discipline, only one creates lasting results. Let's break down the myth, expose the truth, and hand you the mental weapons you need to build real strength. The Motivation Trap: Why It Feels Good... But Fails You Motivation vs. discipline often gets misunderstood because motivation feels good. It's emotional gasoline. It burns fast, and it burns out. It feels good because it's reactive...you're responding to something external. A YouTube clip. A conversation. A crisis. You get fired up… for now. But when Monday hits and your energy dips, that fire fades. Motivation doesn't ask for consistency. It waits for inspiration. And inspiration is unreliable. This is why millions of men keep quitting on their goals. They're waiting to feel ready instead of training to be ready. They think one more podcast, one more quote, one more caffeine rush will do the trick...but it never lasts. When you rely on motivation, you gamble with your future. You become a slave to circumstance, chasing moods instead of making moves. And while you're chasing a feeling, someone else is out there building a legacy...one disciplined action at a time. Discipline Is the Real Mental Muscle In the battle of motivation vs. discipline, discipline is the unglamorous champion. Discipline is boring. And that's exactly why it works. Discipline is showing up when it's raining. It's doing the reps when you're tired. It's lacing your boots when every part of you wants to stay in bed. It doesn't spike your dopamine. It builds your identity. High performers don't trust motivation. They build discipline through structure, ritual, and repetition. Daily non-negotiables. Micro-commitments. A code of conduct. This is the foundation of mental toughness: the quiet confidence that comes from doing what others won't...not once, but always. Discipline isn't sexy. But it makes you unstoppable. It gives you certainty in chaos, clarity under stress, and momentum when others stall. While motivation asks how you feel, discipline commands you to act. It's the hardened edge that cuts through excuses and builds character. From External Hype to Internal Identity If you want to win the war of motivation vs. discipline, you have to shift from external hype to internal identity. You want to build a warrior mindset? Stop waiting to feel like it. Identity drives behavior. When you see yourself as a disciplined man...a man who follows through regardless of emotion...your actions align automatically. Motivation is built on "want." Discipline is built on "who." This is identity-based living. Instead of saying, “I need to work out,” say, “I'm the kind of man who trains daily.” That subtle shift in language turns an obligation into an affirmation. It affirms the type of person you are becoming...not just the task you're trying to complete. It's a powerful reframe. One that pulls you forward when your feelings try to hold you back. And the more you act in alignment with this identity, the stronger it becomes. Just like a neural pathway in the brain...each rep makes the road smoother, faster, automatic. Over time, your choices become habits, your habits become standards, and your standards shape your life.

“Your child is listening to the words you say and the words you don't say.” If your life was a sermon, would your children want to join your church? “Prayer matters. Your child is watching you.” Every generation carries purpose, and “all means all” when it comes to God's Spirit being poured out. “There are no second-class Christians—there is no partial membership in the kingdom of God The Sermon Your Life Preaches The passage asks, “If your life was a sermon, and new members could join only on Monday-Saturday, would your child want to join your church?” How does this challenge the way you live daily? Recognizing God's Discipline & Restoration God used discipline to drive His people back into His presence.” Have you ever gone through a season where God used hardships to realign your focus on Him? What did you learn?
Discipline is essential for fulfilling your God-given purpose. True success and leadership require self-control, intentional boundaries, and a clear personal vision.

McKenzie came to Blue Rose after working in the private sector, working for Jamal Bowman, and working in the Biden administration's Department of Health and Human Services — she believes in progressive values and she wants to win elections. In this episode, Matt and McKenzie discuss: * The central role of the cost of living in the 2024 election.* The importance of partisan realignment based around engagement with news and politics. * The deep unpopularity of Joe Biden and the need for Democrats to internalize that as they move forward. Then, behind the paywall, what are the Trump administration's biggest points of vulnerability? What are Democrats getting right and wrong about highlighting those issues? Most of all, McKenzie makes the case for a disciplined approach that ties everything back to core values that motivate progressives and also resonate with swing voters.All that, plus the full Politix archive are available to paid subscribers—just upgrade your subscription and pipe full episodes directly to your favorite podcast app via your own private feed.Further reading: * The full Blue Rose slide deck.* Matt's article on Republicans' Medicaid cuts.* A corporate marketing guru's appreciation and praise of Bernie Sanders' message discipline.

Every single man listening to this is familiar with discipline and has applied it (to varying degrees) in his life. We generally think of discipline as an overall good thing (and, I think it is) but it can often lead to bouts of frustration and unnecessary suffering if utilized incorrectly. My guest today, Craig Ballantyne, makes the case that discipline, although, a powerful force for productivity comes with strings attached, and isn't the end-all, save-all it's often made out to be. Today, we talk about what true discipline is not, why chasing the wrong target is so common and what to do about it, what I call the “self-help hangover” and how to avoid it, why you should know the distinction between standards and expectations, and how to avoid what Craig calls, “The Doom Loop” in your life.

While the shift to restorative practices should be improving student behavior, that's not happening in every school. Some teachers say the discipline systems at their schools have completely broken down, creating an environment where students do whatever they want with no consequences. This has made teachers feel frustrated, angry, unsupported, and in some cases, unsafe. What has gone wrong? In this episode, I have an in-depth conversation about this issue with restorative justice educator bink jones and trauma-informed educator Alex Shevrin Venet. Both educators are well aware that restorative practices are getting a bad rap for all the wrong reasons, they unequivocally validate the frustrations teachers are experiencing, and they explain what they think is going wrong in schools that aren't seeing good results from this framework. They offer a path forward for educators who are desperate for a healthy, respectful, productive climate in their schools. Thanks to ExploreLearning and Listenwise for sponsoring this episode.

Eight Super Bowl rings. Six with the Patriots. And a mindset that goes far deeper than football. In this rare, wide-ranging conversation, Bill Belichick breaks down the invisible factors behind sustained excellence: discipline, preparation, and the mental edge that separates contenders from champions. He shares the surprising reason he kept Tom Brady as a fourth-string rookie, why talent alone is never enough at the highest level, and how true competitors find ways to win long after their gifts fade. You'll hear why Belichick cut a player the week of the Super Bowl, how technology is changing player preparation and locker room culture, and why “we have control of the game” became the rallying belief in the greatest comeback in Super Bowl history. This episode covers everything from how he decides when to push a player—or pull back—to how trust is built inside elite teams. Belichick also explains why the price of success is always paid in advance—and why there's no shortcut around the work. If you lead a team, or want to lead yourself better, this episode is a masterclass from the greatest football mind of our time.

Dave delivers a hard-hitting conversation on the one thing that separates success from wishful thinking: self-discipline. This isn't hype. It's the truth: You don't rise to your goals—you fall to your systems. And the foundation of any system that works is discipline. We're breaking down what it really means, how to build it, and why your future depends on it. No fluff. No shortcuts. Just real talk and tools you can use.
Summary In this first half of Laura's conversation with Ryan, they explore why regular Bible reading is essential to spiritual growth and emotional healing. Ryan shares how understanding Scripture leads to maturity in faith and a clearer grasp of God's grace. They discuss how believers can take their thoughts captive, walk confidently in their identity as new creations, and let go of striving in favor of allowing God to move. This episode offers practical encouragement and spiritual insight for anyone seeking to deepen their relationship with God through His Word.

In this raw and powerful follow-up to his first appearance, Cody Bobay returns to The Impossible Life podcast to go deeper than ever before. You may know Cody as a U.S. Navy veteran, actor, author of Soulcon, and an emerging action star in the upcoming film Savage—but in this episode, we explore the spiritual battles behind the public victories. This is not a highlight reel. It's a deep dive into what it means to follow Jesus when the lights go out. Cody opens up about walking through one of the darkest seasons of his life—7.5 months of intense depression—all while staying faithful to God's call. He explains how this experience wasn't rooted in sin, emptiness, or a lack of faith, but instead was a refining fire that God used to break and rebuild him for greater purpose. Topics Covered:A First Look at Cody's new book Soulcon Warrior 365

Today's episode was inspired by someone who called Mistress Erika asking for “discipline.” That person was talking about spanking and while paddling a bare bottom certainly can be part of BDSM correction protocols, the term discipline means a lot more than spanking or punishment. In fact, BDSM is a general term that encompasses a wide range of behaviors and mindsets for both the Femdom and the submissive. Today's episode includes:General definitions with BDSMPower exchange: The Domme is in charge and the submissive obeys her.Corporal punishment by a Dominant WomanImpact play as part of BDSM cultureVarious kinds of pain used as a way to correct misbehavior by a submissive.Different styles of domination for a submissive male versus someone who is feminized and submissive either as a sissy or a sub.A Femdom Mistress uses discipline to change, enhance, correct, or motivate behaviors that she wants from the sub. There are various ways to discipline a wayward subby:Physical: put in a stress position, bondage, impact play, etc.Mental: verbal humiliation, degrading tasks, embarrassing activities.Tasks and assignments used to enhance the control of the Domme.A Mistress could also take a fun activity away from the sub - for example, making a sissy slut stare at but not suck a dildo, or not allowing the sub to contact Mistress for a set amount of time.Remember, as we talk about anything with BDSM, kink, feminization, or sissy training …These definitions are guideposts, as long as the people involved are on the same page and communicating, we can create pretty much anything!Mistress Olivia's blog: Experienced MistressMistress Erika's blog: Intelligent Phone FantasyEmail:olivia@enchantrixempire.comerika@enchantrixempire.comDiscord:LDWOliviaLDWErika

The Learning Leader Show with Ryan Hawk Go to www.LearningLeader.com for full show notes This is brought to you by Insight Global. If you need to hire 1 person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world have the hustle and grit to deliver. www.InsightGlobal.com/LearningLeader Tom Ryan is the head wrestling coach at Ohio State University. In college, he wrestled for perhaps the greatest wrestling coach of all time, Dan Gable, at Iowa, where he was a two-time Big Ten champion and a two-time NCAA All-American. As a coach at Ohio State, he's won numerous national coach of the year honors, has coached more than 75 All-Americans, and led the Buckeyes to a national championship in 2015. We filmed this in his office in Columbus, OH, after spending the morning watching some of his championship wrestlers practice. It was one of the coolest days I've had in a long time. Notes: “My first workout after driving from Syracuse to Iowa was a soul-cleanser. I collapsed in my car outside the arena. I couldn't stop crying.” "It was a line in the sand moment for me. Where are you going or staying? Because I could have turned around, I could have went right back. But it was this sense of knowing that you were in the right place." It's amazing that Tom decided to leave Syracuse with no guarantee of even making the team at Iowa, let alone a scholarship. He shows up on day 1, and Coach Gable didn't even know who he was! Crazy. And then he goes on to earn his spot and become an All-American. Competitive Spirit from Early Age: "There's certainly an element of competitive spirit... even in second grade, we were on the playground... if you lose, you're fighting somebody. You just wanna win, you wanna win everything you do." Why go to Iowa? The Will to Be Great – "I wanted to be elite at something. And by trial and error, it was almost trial and error... I wasn't gonna end my career with not knowing how high I could climb." Key Learnings from Dan Gable: Emotional Control – "He wasn't a yeller. He wasn't a screamer... The reason why he didn't need to yell was his competence." Focus on Situation, Not Person – "It was never personal... He would focus on the situation and not you as a person. You never felt attacked. It was just bluntly, your single leg needs improvement." Balance of Freedom and Accountability – "Too much freedom. Not good... You can drive someone crazy with discipline and rituals and rules... It's just this happy medium." One of the most emotional moments in my 10+ years of recording this podcast, Tom shared the story of the day his 5-year-old son, Teague, had a heart attack and tragically passed away. The room went silent. And Tom went deep into the impact that it has had on him and his family. This is something I cannot imagine happening. I am grateful that Tom was willing to share and be so vulnerable. I love Tom Ryan, and I am lucky to have been in Columbus with him. The interview with Ohio State: "I wasn't their first choice... But ultimately, I was a leader that had learned. I learned under the best." He prepared extensively, attacked his weaknesses proactively, and wasn't afraid to discuss his faith. Chosen vs. Unchosen Suffering – The concept of "chosen suffering" came after experiencing unchosen suffering (losing Teague). "Wrestling has never brought me to my knees... I never got there in wrestling... but when I lost Teague in 2004, that I referred to as unchosen suffering." Chosen Suffering = Deep Love – "Chosen suffering is a fancy word for love because you will suffer the most for the things you love the most." The willingness to endure difficulty stems from profound love for what you're pursuing. Traits of Elite Performers: Ungodly Effort – "In all studies ever performed on elite behavior... one is an ungodly effort. And I think effort stems from... effort over time is a byproduct of deep love." High Capacity to Learn – Elite athletes have exceptional skill development abilities Living in Truth – "The capacity to live in truth. To really be honest with yourself and be okay with it... really strong self-assessment." Daily Discipline – "The discipline to do it daily... to work on your shortcomings and really be good enough to look in the mirror and say, I love you, but you got some problems." Being Coachable – "Most people wanna be coached until they're getting coached." Great performers actively seek feedback, while good ones want to be left alone. Three-Pronged Leadership Philosophy: Example – Walk the walk and display the behaviors you want to see Truth in Love – "Too much truth can demoralize someone... too much love, you're patronizing me. Stop it. Gimme the truth." Embracing Pain and Suffering – "We're gonna make decisions that weren't right... and we're gonna accept them and we're gonna grow from them." The 3 Success Pillars: Your Mind - Internal you. Where your thoughts originate. Your Relationships - Who you allow to influence your decisions. Your Environment - The setting that will build you or break you. The world doesn't care what we're after, nor does it care about our principles. It doesn't care about you or me, nor will it change for us. It doesn't owe us anything. The world is heading in a direction, spinning on its axis, and there's little we can do to change that. What we can change, however, is what we do. We can control our direction. We must continuously develop our core and worldview to help us navigate the temptations of the world. What happened on the morning of April 23, 2024? Coach Ryan had been on his way to OSU for an early morning workout with colleagues when his SUV, traveling at about 65 miles per hour, struck the semitrailer. Physical Trauma vs. Emotional Trauma – "When we lost Teague, I was healthy, I was physically healthy, I was mentally healthy... when I hit this tractor trailer at full speed... the physical trauma that occurred was surreal. And I wasn't ready." "I went into a terrible depression... I was sad when I lost my son, but I wasn't depressed... But in this, I was suicidal for a little bit." Coach Ryan openly shared his mental health struggles with family and got help. The #1 indicator of sustained success is emotional control. Two-word mantra — keep working. Physical Suffering as Mental Training – "Every single time I bike, there comes a moment in the bike ride where I realize I'm a sissy... there's a humbling, there's humility piece that you get from suffering." Choose the Hard Thing - "I can always come up with an excuse why I'm not gonna do squats... And then I have to pause and say, dude. Get under the bar... getting under the bar... builds confidence for everything else in life." (that was from me) Discipline as a Superpower – "Discipline is a superpower. It's available to everybody." The transferable skill of choosing difficulty when you don't want to.

In this powerful and raw episode, Brad sits down with special guest Paul Casey, whose story of redemption will leave you inspired and fired up to take full ownership of your life. Paul spent 10 consecutive years in some of the toughest prisons in the California Department of Corrections. But instead of letting that time break him, Paul used it as fuel for transformation. Toward the tail end of his sentence, he got sober, dove into fitness and nutrition, and began helping others with their macros and training—all from behind bars. Upon release, Paul wasted no time jumping headfirst into the fitness industry—training clients at Orangetheory and leading group fitness classes. Today, he's the proud owner of The Better You, a thriving personal training business in the Bay Area offering private and group coaching. We talk about: What prison really taught him about discipline and character How fitness and sobriety became his anchor The mindset it takes to turn rock bottom into a launching pad His transition from incarceration to entrepreneurship Why daily habits and structure are non-negotiable in building a better life Paul's story is proof that your past does not define you—and that with purpose, discipline, and a vision, you can rewrite yours.

Listen… the market don't move off logic alone—it moves off Emotion. Fear. Greed. FOMO. Panic. That's what separates the wolves from the sheep. See, when the red hits the screen, most folks fold. They start reacting emotionally, making decisions from survival mode instead of strategy. But the trap taught me something deep… control your emotions, and you control your wealth. The market will test your Patience, your Discipline, your Faith. It'll humble you, and then offer you abundance… if you can stay grounded. Every dip ain't a disaster—it's a divine opportunity. But only the spiritually aligned gon' see that. This ain't just stocks—this is self-mastery. When the world's panicking, the Trapper's plotting. 'Cause I ain't in it for the quick flip—I'm in it for legacy. Welcome to the other side of the market. Where Emotional Intelligence is the real bag.
