“I hope this works out…” You ever caught yourself saying that? Let's be real — most high-achievers work hard and prepare well. But deep down, they're still carrying doubt. And doubt under pressure? It'll bury you. That's why I had to get MLB All-Star, Shane Greene, on the Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™ show. This dude didn't just pitch in the Big Leagues — he closed games on the biggest stages, for the game's most storied franchises. And he lived the mental fight: from underdog to All-Star from overthinking to locked in. From hoping to BELIEVING. This episode is for every leader, athlete, and executive who's tired of playing scared and is ready to show up ready for every fight they face. If that's you, lock into this episode. In this episode, you will hear: Why hope is NOT a strategy (and what to do instead) How to grade yourself under pressure — and stay confident no matter the outcome The secret to turning your greatest weakness into your edge The power of your words — and how they literally shape your brain and environment Key Quotes “Hope is not a strategy. If I'm on the roof and you ask if I'll catch you, and I say, ‘hopefully' — are you going to jump?” “If you believe, then there's no doubt. But if you're hoping, then you're doubting.” - Shane Greene “Baseball is probably the only sport in the world where you can do everything right and still lose.” - Shane Greene “Did I come to compete today? That's the most important thing.” - Shane Greene “Your words are changing your water — and you can also change the water around you with the words that you're speaking.” - Shane Greene Resources from this Episode All Social Media: @Sagreeney Shane's Book Recommendation: Hidden Messages of Water, by Masaru Emoto Connect with J.R.  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jamesJRreid  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamesjrreid/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamesjrreid/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/jamesJRreid Website: jamesreid.com Check out The Clutch Club™️: jamesreid.com/club (For Men Only) Follow and Review: We'd love for you to follow us if you haven't yet.

Hello to you listening in Wenatchee, Washington!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga.From Great Britain during World War II came this observation about the wide-ranging effect of radio on the population: “Radio exposes nearly everybody in the country to a rapid, bewildering succession of emotional experiences. Our minds and our moral natures just cannot respond to the bombardment of contradictions and confusion.”Sounds a lot like us 85 years later! Media platforms have exploded with hourly tsunamis of news! There is no shortage of overwhelming, emotional experiences. We were not made for this. No wonder we feel exhausted, crazy, unsettled, and lost from the unrelenting pummeling of it all.So what do we do now? Know this: All is impermanent. The tide will turn. When you come to the end of your rope tie a knot and hold on. Find good company in animal companions, in faith, family and friends. Give yourself the benefit of the doubt. Take a well-deserved break and a lesson from nature: When the leader of a V-formation of birds gets tired it drops back and another bird takes its turn in the lead. Be willing to drop back and let others support you until you are ready to soar again. Thank you for listening! You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!" Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, share a 5-star rating and nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, bring your friends and rellies, and join us!

Jeremiah 20 is one of the most interesting passages in Scripture. It records a prayer from the prophet Jeremiah who, having been physically beaten by the priest Pashur and jailed, subsequently utters a very honest prayer to God that is full of doubt and faith. It's a fascinating text worthy of reflection because it nudges us to rethink some of our own misconceptions about prayer, as well as the relationship between faith and doubt.+++Support the The Bible (Unmuted) via Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/TheBibleUnmuted⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Read Matt's blog: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠matthewhalsted.substack.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Don't forget to subscribe to The Bible (Unmuted)!

The message was delivered on Sunday, July 2Oth, 2025, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Rev. Dr. Marlin Lavanhar, Senior Minister. DESCRIPTION: When you're struggling upside down like a fly on a windowsill, what force might come along to help you right yourself? Ancient stories like David and Goliath reveal timeless truths about facing seemingly impossible challenges with nothing but smooth stones and unwavering resolve. A single photograph of two girls in green dresses becomes a lifeline that transforms three lives across sixteen years, proving that small acts of kindness ripple forward in ways we never imagine. Sometimes the most profound courage isn't blind certainty, but the willingness to act when doing nothing feels like its own kind of death. What if the wind that saves us comes not from above, but from the love we dare to give each other? SUBSCRIBE TO WATCH OTHER VIDEOS: @allsoulsunitarian WANT TO LISTEN?

Doubt is often treated like a dirty word in Christian circles, but Scripture is filled with faithful expressions of it. In Psalm 73, Asaph wrestles with the tension between what he believes about God's goodness and what he sees happening in the world around him. His struggle is honest and raw—but it ultimately leads him not away from God, but toward Him. Small Group Questions1. When have you felt like your “feet had almost slipped” spiritually, as Asaph describes in verse 2? What was the time like?2. Asaph's doubt was fueled by envy of the prosperity of the wicked, what about the prosperity of the wicked tempts you to question God's justice and goodness today?3. Have you walked with anyone through an intense season of doubt? What did you learn about how to do that well and what to avoid?4. What has been a helpful cure for your doubts? Why would going to the sanctuary be a helpful cure? 5. How has God held you fast when your grip has felt weak? Sermon Outline:I. The Rebellion of the Wicked is Futile.II. The Victory of God's Anointed is Certain.III. The Record of God's Faithfulness is Perfect. Sermon Discussion Questions:1. What forms of rebellion against God's rule are most subtle in our culture—and even in our own hearts? 2. Is God's sovereignty the basis for bold, faith-filled action in your life, or a truth you affirm but rarely apply? How might your life look different if you applied this truth to your life each day? How might you feel different?3. What good things are you tempted to trust in instead of trusting in the name of the Lord? Can or should anything be done about that?4. How do Romans 1 and Hebrews 3:12-13 help us understand the progression and danger of unrepentant sin? What role does the church community play in helping one another resist the hardening of the heart?5. How are you intentionally remembering and rehearsing the faithfulness of God in your life? Or, how could you start doing so?

Every believer experiences doubt from time to time, but we can overcome it! Walking in doubt will bring instability and restlessness to our lives and result in our prayers not being answered. So, what is doubt and how do we overcome it?

This week, we share a “Space for God” devotional offered by Anglican Priest Chris Lugo. Chris guides us through John 9, a series of events flowing from Jesus healing a man born blind.  Chris unpacks how the reactions of the healed man, his parents, and the Pharisees to this miracle mirror many of the ways doubt and skepticism manifest in our own lives when we're faced with things we find difficult to explain. We hope you are blessed by Chris' thoughtful insights into this story!View Our Complete Archive of “Space for God” Prayer PracticesLearn More About Spiritual Direction through Coracleinthecoracle.org  |  @inthecoracleSupport the show

In this powerful message, Pastor Timothy Elder unpacks the story of Zacchaeus and his determination to see Jesus no matter the obstacles in his way. Zacchaeus didn’t let the crowd stop him. He climbed above it. He pressed forward with purpose. Likewise, we’re often surrounded by figurative crowds—distractions, opinions, fear, and doubt—that try to block our view of Jesus. But like Zacchaeus, we must make the intentional choice to press ahead. To rise above the noise. To seek Jesus with everything in us. Let this message challenge and inspire you to move ahead of the crowd in your own life. Because when you make up your mind to see Jesus, everything changes. www.kingdomrock.org

QFF: Quick Fire Friday – Your 20-Minute Growth Powerhouse! Welcome to Quick Fire Friday, the Grow A Small Business podcast series that is designed to deliver simple, focused and actionable insights and key takeaways in less than 20 minutes a week. Every Friday, we bring you business owners and experts who share their top strategies for growing yourself, your team and your small business. Get ready for a dose of inspiration, one action you can implement and quotable quotes that will stick with you long after the episode ends! In this episode of Quick Fire Friday, host Rob Cameron speaks with Joel Salomon, founder of SaLaurMor, a former hedge fund manager turned prosperity coach. Joel now helps spiritual entrepreneurs shift their limiting beliefs around money and implement strategies to grow their businesses. He shares the powerful story of helping a client triple her income and quit her job within 60 days. A key takeaway from the episode is the concept of "acting as if", where entrepreneurs start behaving like their future successful selves. Joel also emphasizes that mindset without strategy—and vice versa—won't lead to lasting success. This episode is packed with practical tools to break through financial and visibility blocks. Key Takeaways for Small Business Owners: Shift Your Money Mindset: Joel emphasizes that most business owners carry limiting beliefs about money. To grow, you must replace thoughts like "I can't afford it" with empowering beliefs of abundance and prosperity. Act As If You're Already Successful: Visualize your future business success and start making decisions from that mindset. Whether it's interviewing a new team member or planning a big event, acting as if helps you attract what you want. Charge What You're Worth: Underpricing your services creates an imbalance. Joel encourages business owners to price according to the transformation they provide—because helping clients achieve their dreams is priceless. Our hero crafts outstanding reviews following the experience of listening to our special guests. Are you the one we've been waiting for? Align Strategy With Mindset: Having the right systems without a strong mindset—or vice versa—limits growth. Lasting success comes when belief and business strategy work hand-in-hand. Embrace Sales and Marketing: Many entrepreneurs, especially in spiritual fields, shy away from selling. Joel stresses that selling is serving—and visibility is key to helping more people. Tailor Your Business Strategy: Avoid cookie-cutter solutions. Joel's approach is to work with each client individually, ensuring their strategies align with their personality, values, and goals. One action small business owners can take: According to Joel Salomon, one action small business owners can take is to "act as if" their business is already successful — whether that means visualizing higher revenue, drafting a future team structure, or planning a celebration for hitting big goals. By aligning their mindset and behavior with their desired outcome, they start attracting the results they want faster. Do you have 2 minutes every Friday? Sign up to the Weekly Leadership Email.

Welcome to Day 2675 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Day 2675 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 77:1-12 – Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2675 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2675 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Today's Wisdom Nugget is titled Wrestling with Doubt, Anchored in Ancient Wonders - A Trek Through Psalm 77:1-12 Today, we begin a deeply personal and emotionally charged trek through Psalm 77 in the New Living Translation, encompassing its foundational verses, 1 through 12. Psalm 77, like many we've explored recently, is attributed to Asaph. But after the triumphant declarations of God's ultimate judgment in Psalm 75, and the awe-inspiring celebration of God's protective power in Psalm 76—where Jerusalem was defended and enemies shattered—Psalm 77 takes a sharp turn. It brings us back to the raw, intimate struggle of an individual soul wrestling with profound spiritual distress. This is not a national lament over a devastated Temple, but a personal cry from the depths of a troubled spirit, plagued by sleeplessness and agonizing questions about God's faithfulness. This psalm vividly captures the experience of spiritual darkness, where past blessings seem distant, and doubt whispers insidious questions about God's unchanging nature. Yet, it also provides a powerful pathway out of that darkness: by intentionally remembering and meditating on God's mighty acts and wonders from ancient times. It is a profound lesson in how to fight for our faith when our feelings betray us. So, let's immerse ourselves in this raw, honest, and ultimately redemptive journey of faith. (Reads Psalm 77:1-6 NLT) I cry out to God; yes, I shout. Oh, that God would listen to me! When I was in trouble, I sought the Lord. All night long I prayed with hands uplifted, but my soul refused to be comforted. I recall the days of my prosperity— but then I groan. I think of God, and I am troubled; I grow faint as I think about it. Interlude You have held my eyelids open; I am too distressed to speak. I keep thinking of the good old days, the long years of the past. I ponder my sad songs in the night. My heart questions in the darkness: Guthrie Chamberlain: The psalmist opens with an immediate and intense expression of distress, leaving no doubt about the depth of his anguish: "I cry out to God; yes, I shout. Oh, that God would listen to me!" This isn't a polite prayer; it's a desperate, almost violent, cry. He is "shouting" to God, indicating extreme urgency and pain. The plea "Oh, that God would listen to me!" (literally, "My voice to God and He will give ear to me") highlights his desperate longing for divine attention, implying that he feels unheard or ignored. His distress drives him to seek the Lord, even through sleepless...

For this episode, let's revisit a Case Interview & Management Consulting classic where we talk about the importance of you, the candidate, never ever giving the interviewer the benefit of the doubt, why this is vital, how to do this in a case and the improvement it will immediately deliver. The main value of adopting this mindset is that you tend to explain everything to the interviewer because you assume he is not aware of all the answers. If you enter an interview, assuming the interview is "perfect", you will tend to make assumptions which hurt your chances and damage your image.   Here are some free gifts for you:   Overall Approach Used in Well-Managed Strategy Studies free download: www.firmsconsulting.com/OverallApproach   McKinsey & BCG winning resume free download: www.firmsconsulting.com/resumepdf   Enjoying this episode?

Let's talk about something real…⁠ Fear. Doubt. Uncertainty.⁠ They have a sneaky way of showing up anytime we're considering a change, especially when it's tied to our careers or sense of purpose.⁠  Dr. Shawnté Elbert knows that feeling. When life threw her a curveball, she realized she had a choice: let fear run the show or practice something different.⁠  Her choice? Inhale faith. Exhale fear.⁠ It's not just a one-time thing. It's a practice and a mantra—a way of moving forward even when the next step feels unclear.  With honesty, humor, and heart, Shawnté shares how she navigated big life pivots, embraced uncertainty, and discovered the value of rewriting her story. Her path is a reminder that fear often signals growth, not failure.⁠ If you're standing at a crossroads, feeling unsure of what's next, this conversation will meet you right where you are and inspire you to take your next tiny, brave step forward.⁠

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Today's shout-out goes to Dave Schuknecht from Waverly, IA. Thank you for standing with us throughout Project 23. You're helping grow faith that's deep, rooted, and bold. This one's for you. Our text today is Mark 11:20-24: As they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away to its roots. And Peter remembered and said to him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree that you cursed has withered.” And Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God. Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. — Mark 11:20-24 The fig tree is dead. Withered from the roots up. The very tree Jesus had cursed the day before is now nothing but dry branches and lifeless bark. Peter is stunned. But Jesus isn't. And Jesus doesn't say, “Look what I did.” He simply turns to his disciples and teaches them about faith in God. The kind of faith that moves what human strength never could. He speaks of mountains. Obstacles. Impossibilities. And he says, if you believe and do not doubt, it will be done for you. This isn't name-it-claim-it theology. It's an authentic, mountain-moving prayer, rooted not in wishful thinking but in confident trust in God's character and power. Jesus invites us to a faith that doesn't just believe God exists, but believes God is able. Not a faith that measures the size of the problem by our ability, but one that sees every problem in light of God's power. Some things in your life feel too big to move: That relationship. That addiction. That bitterness. That long-unanswered prayer. But Jesus says the issue isn't the size of your obstacle—it's the object of your faith. The point isn't to fixate on the mountain. It's to seek the One who made the mountain. And to trust him, whether the mountain moves or not. Because faith isn't confidence in your prayer or in getting what you want. It's trust in God's power, presence, and purpose—no matter what. #MountainMovingFaith, #PrayBold, #Mark11 ASK THIS: Why did Jesus use the fig tree to teach about faith? What “mountain” are you facing right now? Is your faith focused on results—or on the God who hears? What changes when you trust God's power more than your own? DO THIS: Pray boldly today for something that feels too big. Name the mountain—and ask God to move it, then trust Him either way. PRAY THIS: Father, I trust your power even when I can't see progress. Grow my faith—not just to pray boldly, but to believe you fully. Amen. PLAY THIS: “Do It Again.”

This episode of Overcoming Distractions features a conversation with Kat O'Sullivan, author of From Doubt to Do: Navigating Your Path to Possibility. Dave and Kat explore how individuals, especially those with ADHD, can overcome self-doubt and embrace significant life changes. Kat shares her personal journey of moving to Mexico during the pandemic, highlighting the critical steps and mindset shifts needed to transform seemingly impossible goals into tangible realities. This discussion will resonate with anyone looking to make bold moves and leverage their adult ADHD. Here's some important advice from the episode: Embrace Your "Positives": For individuals with ADHD, what might be labeled as "negative traits" like hyperactivity or hyperfocus can actually be powerful assets in the right environment. Reframe these characteristics as strengths that offer unique advantages, such as excelling in sales or problem-solving. Challenge Doubt with Questions: When faced with a big decision or feeling stuck, ask yourself, "What if it is possible?" and "What am I not seeing yet?" The word "yet" is particularly powerful, as it acknowledges current limitations while opening the door to future possibilities and solutions. The Four C's: Kat introduces a framework of four critical "C's" to navigate change: Courage: Have the courage to confront your situation and your mindset head-on. Clarity: Get clear on what you truly want and, more importantly, why it matters to you. This "why" provides the conviction needed to push through challenges. Commitment: Make a "hell yes" commitment to your decision. This unwavering resolve is what propels you forward when obstacles arise. Capacity: Build your capacity by learning what you need to get things done, and practice self-compassion. This involves understanding your personal working style and identifying the support you need. Be Methodical, Not Just Impulsive: While embracing opportunity is key, especially for those prone to impulsivity, major life changes require a methodical approach. Conduct thorough research, create detailed checklists, and break down large goals into manageable, step-by-step processes. Address External Doubts: Be prepared for skepticism from others, and don't let their fears derail your plans. Re-ground yourself by focusing on "what's at stake if I don't do it," rather than solely on the risks of taking action. Expect and Adapt to Hiccups: It's normal to encounter unforeseen challenges, especially when embarking on something new. Don't beat yourself up when things don't go as planned. Instead, return to your "what" and "why," and figure out the next step. **Do you want to work with Dave one-on-one? Go to www.overcomingdistractions.com and book an introductory Zoom chat.

Deconstruction is the process of dismantling previously held beliefs which begins with the self as the final authority. Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar warn that this posture can lead to a rejection of truth and, ultimately, to turning away from God. Many begin deconstructing in response to frustrations with the modern evangelical church, but in doing so, they sometimes discard core doctrines of the faith. The guys emphasize that Christianity doesn't promise happiness, but righteousness. When the gospel is altered to appeal to comfort or culture, it creates false converts who have a false sense of assurance. The path is narrow; following Christ is not easy. While it is good for believers to examine their beliefs, that examination must be built on the foundation of Scripture. Deconstruction often strays from this by starting with self rather than God. The guys make a distinction between deconstruction and honest doubt—doubt that humbly seeks truth in God's Word. Much of today's church culture has endorsed blind faith or discouraged critical thinking. As a result, people don't walk away because they think too much—they walk away because they haven't thought enough, or they've thought apart from Scripture.The guys note that many who deconstruct focus on isolated issues and fail to see the bigger picture. Faith isn't about having all the answers; sometimes it's simply trusting that God does. Referencing 1 John 2:19, the guys remind listeners that leaving the faith doesn't bring freedom. Even John the Baptist, who baptized Jesus, still questioned near the end of his life. The hope isn't in the strength of our faith but in the strength of Christ—the object of our faith.Doubt is often tied to unmet expectations. As the guys point out, fulfillment is found in Christ alone. We don't resolve our doubts through deconstruction; we bring them to Jesus. Our hearts choose what to believe and our minds follow. Seeing the beauty of Christ realigns our thoughts. Faith is not abstract; it is grounded in the truth of the gospel and the Word of God. Scripture wasn't given just for information—it was given to transform us. The guys discuss the role of modern culture, particularly social media, in shaping beliefs. The church has a discipleship problem; people attend on Sunday but are immersed in worldly rhythms by Monday. To the deconstructionist, the guys ask: what are your daily habits? Be honest about how you're being shaped. Ask your questions, but ask them in the presence of God, with Scripture open. God is real. He is the prime reality. Run to Him—not away.Send us a textThanks for listening!

Deconstruction is described as a process that begins with placing the self as the final authority, which often leads to the rejection of biblical truth. Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar caution that this mindset can result in abandoning essential doctrines rather than simply addressing church-related frustrations. The guys stress that Christianity promises righteousness, not comfort, and warn that altering the gospel to suit personal preferences creates false converts. While examining beliefs is healthy, the guys emphasize that such reflection must be grounded in Scripture and humility. Honest doubt seeks truth in God's Word, unlike deconstruction, which often isolates issues and leans on emotion. The guys highlight the dangers of modern influences like social media and the lack of true discipleship in the church. They encourage believers to be aware of daily habits, bring doubts to God, and remember that salvation rests not in the strength of one's faith, but in the strength of Christ.Send us a textThanks for listening!
