In the second message of our Do Hard Things series, Pastor Robey explores the transformational power of faith. Through stories from Hebrews 11 and powerful metaphors like the metamorphosis of a butterfly, this sermon challenges us to trust God with the unseen. Just like monarch butterflies embark on an impossible journey guided by instinct, followers of Christ are called to move forward by faith—believing in the promises of God even when they feel distant. This message unpacks how faith is not blind hope, but the substance and proof of what God has promised. Learn how faith compels us to obey, risk, and move forward even when it's hard—because transformation doesn't happen in comfort zones. It happens when we trust the God who brings something from nothing.

In this message, Pastor Robey Barnes opens the “Do Hard Things” series by drawing a surprising connection between elephants' remarkable ability to detect danger through low-frequency vibrations and our own need for spiritual sensitivity. Just as a herd of elephants instinctively formed a protective circle during an earthquake, we are called to live alert, courageous lives of faith. Preaching from Hebrews 10, Pastor Robey reminds us that because of Jesus, we have direct access to God—and with that access comes an invitation to draw near with confidence, hold firmly to the hope we profess, and walk together as a community of faith. Even when the ground shakes beneath us, the righteous live by faith, standing on the unshakable promises of God.

"Confidence demands evidence." In this episode, Nick speaks with performance coach and author Steve Magness about the intersection of mental health, athletic performance, and personal development. What to listen for: Performance coaching helps individuals navigate mental and physical challenges Trauma can set a brain's prediction to be hyper-responsive to stress Mental preparation and visualization are crucial for success in high-pressure situations Self-awareness is key to understanding personal performance and growth Finding a balance between care and obsession can enhance performance Confidence is built through evidence and preparation Visualizing both success and failure helps in managing expectations Sharing the load with others can enhance performance and reduce stress Small tweaks in approach can lead to significant improvements in performance “When we step into the arena, whether that arena is an actual arena or your boss's office, our brain is predictive and calculates whether we're prepared to meet the moment.” Our brains are wired to assess challenges and predict outcomes Preparation is key to calming the brain's predictive analysis The "arena" can be any situation where we face pressure or judgment Confidence and readiness are about training the mind to focus on what you can control Understanding this process helps reduce anxiety and lets you show up fully present “Confidence comes from giving your brain evidence that you are prepared.” Confidence isn't inherent—it's built through preparation and action Small wins or practice create "proof" your brain can rely on Preparation rewires doubt into belief, making confidence feel natural The more evidence you give yourself, the less external validation you'll need Confidence grows when you approach situations proactively instead of reactively About Steve Magness Steve Magness is a world-renowned expert on performance, author of the new book Win the Inside Game.

I am delighted to welcome Steve Magness back to the show to discuss moving from survival mode to truly thriving. Modern life, with its relentless pressures and social media's constant comparison trap, leaves many feeling isolated, inadequate, and unfulfilled. So what to do about it? Steve shares his thoughts on the ‘inner game' - the art of intrinsic motivation and long-term fulfilment. Steve opens up about his own experience living in survival mode while being a whistleblower against Nike's Oregon project. We also tackle the shifting nature of the American Dream, from internal fulfilment to external validation, and the vital importance of 'non-attachment'. Highlights: The rise of burnout, mental health struggles, and loneliness in modern society The impact of social media on attention spans and mental health as well as feelings of inadequacy and isolation The ‘inner game'—learning to play for intrinsic motivation, not just external rewards How values and ethics guide decision-making in high-pressure environments The American Dream: from internal fulfilment to chasing external validation Sport as a metaphor for life and why self-transcendence matters more than trophies Non-attachment, the paradox of self and no-self, and the balance between flexibility and security Steve Magness episode 1 - Do Hard Things: https://pod.fo/e/1832d0 Book: https://www.stevemagness.com/books/

Testosterone is the engine of vitality and the foundation of muscle growth, energy, focus and resilience. Unfortunately, modern life can make it hard to maintain optimal levels, due to factors like poor diet, chronic stress and environmental toxins that can disrupt production at every step of the process. In this episode, we break down how testosterone is made, including why nutrient-dense foods (especially those rich in cholesterol, zinc, and Vitamin D) are critical, and how deficiencies in these key building blocks can tank your levels of this vital hormone. But diet isn't the only factor. Poor sleep, excess body fat and exposure to synthetic estrogens from plastics and tap water all play a role in lowering T. We discuss how stress drives up cortisol, which directly suppresses testosterone production, and why lifestyle choices — like tight clothing and prolonged heat exposure — can further sabotage your hormones. More importantly, we cover practical, science-backed strategies to optimize testosterone naturally. That includes getting high-quality sleep, lifting heavy weights, spending time in the sun, and keeping your testes cool. We also dive into why pre-cooling before exercise can give your testosterone a major boost, and why avoiding plastics and chemical-laden personal care products matters more than you think. If you want to go even deeper, check out episodes 32 and 65, where we explore the downsides of testosterone replacement therapy and why T levels influence your ability to take on hard challenges. Testosterone production is complex, but small, consistent changes can make a massive impact. Tune in to learn how to take control of your hormones and build a lifestyle that supports optimal performance.

Murphy likes to visit right after Self Reliance Festival and other busy times. Murphy came over last week. Or did he? The funny thing about Murphy is we blame “Murphy” for things going wrong but whose fault is it really. Roaster It is all your fault Do Hard Things because if you don't do them now you will have to do harder things later and this goes for personal health (miking the right small choices every day) and for your business. As the owner, YOU see things that need addressing and you have to make a big choice: Do it yourself or set it up for someone else to do it. The answer is not that simple. That was THE WORK that had to be done so I did it. Because failure is not an option. So back to my roasters and Murphy. It wasnt Murphy's fault. It was mine. But right after they told me they wanted some extra handling. In a week where I felt tired. In a week with extra emails to answer, supplies to stash, communications to write, and steps to take to set up a great 2025. What saves the day: My3Things Doing the Work means identifying which work is most important to do. Example: The location of the ditch for electrical service How to use My3Things, steps to take – Business owner: everything is your fault even when it isn't your fault. Doing the work that was most important first Doing the work to keep healthy Doing the work earlier and later than everyone else Because sometimes doing the work is what needs to be done. Make it a great week! Song: The Flood GUYS! Don't forget about the cookbook, Cook With What You Have by Nicole Sauce and Mama Sauce.

In this episode, Joe De Sena talks with Tom Farrey, author of Game On: The All-American Race to Make Champions of Our Children, about the state of youth sports in America.   Tom explains that only 1 in 4 kids are active, largely due to barriers in the U.S. sports system. Now leading Project Play, he works to make sports more accessible and fun for all children.   They discuss how Spartan Races promote self-improvement over competition, and how Norway's child-focused sports model could inspire the U.S.   Tom emphasizes the importance of letting kids enjoy sports rather than pushing them into activities they don't love.

Racing is hard enough. After a poor performance or DNF, it makes the next race even tougher to mentally and physically prepare for. Here are my thoughts for moving forward!   Podcast on Analyzing your race/event: https://runningislifepodcast.podbean.com/e/so-you-had-a-bad-race-here-s-the-next-steps-w-personal-notes-episode-95/   Books: "Puke & Rally" by Rob Bell "Do Hard Things" by Steve Magness   Truly Tough XC Classic 5k - Sept. 28 - https://ultrasignup.com/register.aspx?did=118288   My notes: 1. Accept a bad race or DNF is a possibility. We must acknowledge this fact, but also understand that a DNF does not define us. At the same time, we must recognize when a good race happens. Heart Breaker vs Hellbender. My string of tough 100s. 2. Remember that training is the journey. Enjoy the process. Race days are the celebration of the journey. We certainly can have a hard time celebrating a bad race. High Lonesome for instance was tough to celebrate even though I finished. While I was certainly proud of the fact I finished, I had a very hard time processing the race and what went so wrong so early. What I did remember was the 2 weeks leading up to the race and the time I spent with my daughter during those 2 weeks and her paying me to the finish. 3. The sting and disappointment we feel after a bad race or a DNF stems from the amount we care about the results of our goal event. In honesty, I don't know why some races are easier to let go than others. Hellbender means the world to me and I didn't finish, but I was ok with that due to being sick. Maybe that was due to the fact that I knew I could take another crack at HB vs feeling awful for 80 miles at HiLo knowing I had spent a lot of money to be out there early and acclimate, and things still went sideways. Again, I'm honestly not sure. Our thoughts and emotions are so complex. My point here is that it is ok to react in whatever way you need to even if it leaves you shrugging your shoulders in confusion. There aren't always answers and our brains have a hard time dealing with that. 4. Questioning our decisions about this sport and what's next after a bad race or DNF of a goal event can be very difficult! It's times like these I turn to resources of people that have experienced this. Currently I am reading “Puke & Rally” by Dr Rob Bell. Puking is our bad race & rally is our comeback or at least next step. After 6 really hard 100 mile races, I was left questioning whether I was really wanting to do any more. Is there something worth going after? Does something still excite me with the possibility of that event not going to plan? Those questions rattled around in my brain and if I'm real with you, they are still valid questions I'm sorting through. Do I need to train for something? Do I need a goal to enjoy my running? These are all hard questions to answer. I've recognized that my focus on training has shifted from my own to those I coach (all age groups included here). The importance I place on my own training has diminished significantly and I recognize that just getting out for a simple run is enough for me. I simply cannot devote the time I once did to training. A harsh reality, but one I am ok with. That said, I recognize that the possibility for a bad race or a DNF is higher now. So the question becomes, how do I scratch the itch for a long day in the mountains? That's where the BRUTES Challenge came in. BRUTES matches where I am with not only my training, but my mental state. You have to find that match for yourself. There's nothing wrong with just running and not having a goal. For myself, I've simply had something to work towards for my entire 34 years of running. COVID lockdown made me realize that I enjoy having something to work towards. Sometimes that something takes us awhile to figure out, and that's ok as well. Best to find something that inspires you then to just settle for an event that you just go through the motions to complete and lack joy and enjoyment in your training. 5. Another book that bears reading (rereading) is Steve Magness' “ Do Hard Things”. Magness reminds us that without challenge or the uncertainty of completion that comes with setting a goal, we can lack motivation or simply caring enough to get ourselves out there and train. It's by setting ourselves up for these challenges that we are able to test our limits and find out what it is that we are truly capable of. When I look back at HiLo, I have to admit, I'm pretty proud of the mental grit I have. It's those moments, when you're at your lowest that you truly find out who you really are! And THAT right there is why I continue to get after it!   Aaron's information: If you'd like to learn more about Patreon or to donate, please visit https://www.patreon.com/RunningIsLife My Socials, Channels, & Newsletter:https://www.facebook.com/MRRUNNINGPAINSCOACHING https://www.instagram.com/runningislifecoaching/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ6J512qA34z_N0KJSU4jfw https://www.strava.com/athletes/18431982  Email - coachsaft@gmail.com Thanks to all of you for listening!
