Worksheet: Hope Building BlueprintWhat do you do when your hope tank is completely empty? When you're going through the motions of recovery but deep down don't believe things will ever really get better?In this powerful episode of The Addicted Mind Plus, hosts Duane Osterlind and Eric Osterlind tackle one of the most critical—and often overlooked—elements of lasting recovery: hope. But this isn't a conversation about wishful thinking or waiting for motivation to magically strike. Instead, they dive into the practical science of hope and show you exactly how to cultivate it, even when you're starting from bare ground.Many people in recovery struggle with a toxic sense of hopelessness—that gray, heavy belief that the future will just repeat the past. It's the voice that whispers, "Lasting recovery is for other people, not me. I'm too broken. I've failed too many times." This feeling drains motivation and makes recovery feel like an exhausting chore rather than an opportunity for a better life.Here's the good news: positive psychology research shows that hope isn't just a feeling you have to wait for. It's actually a trainable cognitive skill you can build, just like going to the gym and strengthening a muscle.Duane and Eric break down Dr. C.R. Snyder's groundbreaking Hope Theory, which identifies two essential components of hope: pathway thinking (the belief that you can find routes to your goals—the "how to" part) and agency thinking (the belief in your own ability to use those paths—the "I can do this" part). When you feel hopeless, it's usually because you've lost one or both of these elements.The episode gets wonderfully practical with two concrete action steps you can start using today:Action Step #1: Set One Hopeful, Achievable Goal - Choose one small, realistic, and measurable goal you can work on this month (or even just today). Not something vague like "be happier" or "fix my life," but something specific like "spend 10 minutes outside three times this week" or "make one phone call to a supportive friend." Writing it down literally creates a pathway forward in your brain.Action Step #2: Visualize Your Success - Take 2-3 minutes to close your eyes and vividly imagine yourself achieving that goal. Don't just see it—feel it. Imagine the pride, relief, and satisfaction of crossing it off your list. This isn't just positive thinking fluff—it's neuroscience. Elite Olympic athletes use this exact technique to improve their performance, and research shows visualization can be as beneficial as additional physical training.The hosts explain that this process directly builds self-efficacy—your belief in your ability to succeed. Hope isn't just believing things can get better; it's taking small steps that create evidence they ARE getting better.Throughout the episode, Duane and Eric's compassionate approach shines through. They acknowledge that both pathway thinking and agency thinking can be incredibly difficult to access in recovery, but they offer genuine encouragement that these skills can be developed over time.To support your journey, they've created a free Hope Building Blueprint worksheet—a simple one-page guide to help you define your hopeful goal, brainstorm the pathway to get there, and list your motivation and visualization strategies.If you're struggling with hopelessness in recovery, this episode offers both the science and the practical tools to start building hope today. You deserve to believe in a better future—and now you have a roadmap to get there.Key Topics• The Neuroscience of Negativity - Why our brains are wired to focus on negative emotions and predictions first• Dr. C.R.

In the final episode of "The Mystery of Seeds," Duane Sheriff concludes his teaching on the Parable of the Sower from Mark Chapter 4, reviewing the four types of ground which represent the conditions of our hearts. Jesus called this parable foundational. By understanding this parable, we can connect with other biblical truths.The Word of God, as seed, faces hurdles in bearing fruit due to hardened hearts, offense from tribulation, and life's distractions such as worry and the deceitfulness of riches. Satan's deliberate strategy is to steal God's Word from our hearts. Be quick to repent from sin to keep our hearts soft, guard against offense that opens the door for the enemy, and cast our cares upon the Lord. When we cultivate good ground—hearts that hear, accept, and act on God's Word—we can expect a harvest of thirty, sixty, or even a hundredfold return on God's precious seed.The Mystery of Seeds - Duane Sheriff Ministries

In the twelfth episode of "The Mystery of Seeds," Duane Sheriff teaches on the parable of the sower, explaining the four types of ground where God's Word can be sown and Satan's specific strategies to steal the seed from each type of heart.The wayside ground represents hard-packed soil, similar to how sin hardens our hearts through deception. Satan steals the Word immediately by sowing confusion and lack of understanding. Stony ground refers to those who initially receive God's Word with joy but don't allow it to take root. Satan attacks through tribulation and persecution, leading to offense and causing them to abandon the seed. His primary tactic is to uproot good seed and replace it with bitterness. Thorny ground is choked by the cares of this world. Even powerful seeds cannot produce a fruitful harvest when competing with worries and worldly distractions.Guard your heart against the enemy's tactics by becoming good ground, soil that receives God's Word, takes deep root, and produces an abundant harvest of thirty, sixty, or a hundredfold.The Mystery of Seeds - Duane Sheriff Ministries

In the eleventh episode of "The Mystery of Seeds," Duane Sheriff teaches that Jesus' parable of the sower from Mark chapter 4 is not just a story, but a key that unlocks our understanding of how God's Word works in our lives. The Kingdom of God operates on the principle of seedtime and harvest. God's Word is seed, and our hearts are the soil.This foundational parable is the most important one Jesus ever taught. How we receive and nurture God's Word determines the fruit we bear in our lives. There are four types of ground where seed can fall - the wayside, stony ground, thorny ground, and good ground.Satan seeks to steal God's Word before it can take root and bear fruit. If our hearts are like the wayside, the enemy will quickly snatch away the Word before we can fully understand it. But if we have a receptive heart and good soil, God's truth will take deep root and produce a bountiful harvest.The Mystery of Seeds - Duane Sheriff Ministries

What does it mean to be created in God's image? Genesis 1 reveals ten foundational attributes that define our humanity—dominion, creativity, the power of words, the dignity of work, righteous judgment, justice, and the unique design of male and female—along with the moral nature of God expressed through love, truth, and holiness. These attributes form the blueprint of our identity and reflect who God is and who we are called to be as His image-bearers.Though sin has distorted these attributes—turning creativity toward darkness, words into weapons, and judgment into condemnation—Christ restores what was lost. In part two of “Bearing God's Image,” Duane Sheriff explains that righteous judgment is part of God's design and that male and female reflect God's nature in a confused culture. When we understand these attributes, we see how every aspect of life either honors God's image or distorts it.

Worksheet: Growth & Gratitude Journal PromptsWhat if the experiences that broke you could also be the source of your greatest strengths?It's a radical question, especially when you're standing in the aftermath of addiction and trauma, surrounded by what feels like nothing but devastation and regret. But what if within that rubble, there were seeds of profound growth waiting to be discovered?In this powerful episode of The Addicted Mind Plus, hosts Duane Osterlind and Eric Osterlind explore the transformative concept of benefit finding and post-traumatic growth. This isn't about pretending the past wasn't painful or toxic positivity that dismisses real suffering. Instead, it's about learning to hold two truths at the same time: your pain was real and devastating, AND you can grow stronger because of how you navigated through it.The episode tackles a pain point many in recovery face: feeling permanently defined by the worst things that have happened to you. When you look back and see only a wasteland of mistakes, regrets, and broken pieces, it becomes incredibly difficult to build a hopeful future. That narrative of victimhood and brokenness can feel impossible to escape.Duane and Eric introduce the concept of post-traumatic growth (PTG)—significant positive psychological change that comes not from the traumatic event itself, but from the struggle with that event. Think of it like a forest fire: the fire is devastating, but the struggle for survival can lead to new, significant growth in the ecosystem afterward.The hosts identify five key areas where people often experience growth after trauma: improved relationships with deeper, authentic connections; new possibilities and opportunities that weren't visible before; a greater sense of personal strength and resilience; spiritual development and a broader sense of meaning; and a deeper appreciation for life and gratitude for things once taken for granted.Throughout the episode, Duane and Eric emphasize the critical importance of validating pain before exploring growth. You can't skip over the hurt to get to the healing. As Duane explains, you have to sit with the pain and acknowledge it's real before you can discover the benefits—but you don't have to stay in that pain forever.The episode offers two gentle, reflective exercises for listeners. The first invites you to identify one personal strength—like resilience, empathy, patience, or determination—that has been significantly enhanced because of what you walked through. The second is a journal prompt: "What is one important lesson I've learned about myself, about others, or about life through this journey so far?"These reflections help reframe the narrative of your life. As Eric powerfully states, you stop being just the victim of your past and become the person who faced immense challenges and found strength and meaning in the struggle. This doesn't change what happened, but it can change what it means to you today.Duane shares one of his favorite quotes from Viktor Frankl's "Man's Search for Meaning": "When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves." That's the heart of this work—changing ourselves in response to what we've endured and finding real purpose in that transformation.To support listeners in this gentle process of exploration, Duane and Eric have created a free Growth and Gratitude Journal Prompts worksheet, available in the show notes at theaddictivemind.com.This episode is a compassionate invitation to look at your past through a new lens—not one that erases the pain, but one that helps you discover the unexpected gifts that emerged from your struggle. If you're in recovery and wrestling with feelings that your past is only a story of damage, this episode offers hope and a path forward.Key Topics • Post-Traumatic Growth (PTG): Understanding how significant positive change can emerge from struggling with major life crises and traumatic events• The Importance of Validating Pain First: Why you must acknowledge and sit with pain before you can discover the benefits and growth that followed• Five Key Areas of Growth: Exploring improved relationships, new possibilities, personal strength, spiritual development, and deeper life appreciation• Holding Competing Truths: Learning to acknowledge that an experience was 100% painful while simultaneously recognizing the growth that came from navigating it• Reframing Your Life Narrative: Shifting from a story defined by damage to one of growth, resilience, and meaning• Practical Reflection Exercises: Two actionable steps for identifying strengths gained and lessons learned through adversity• Viktor Frankl's Wisdom: Applying the principle that when we can't change a situation, we're challenged to change ourselvesTimestamps[00:01:00] - Opening question: What if the things that broke you could be your greatest strengths?[00:03:00] - The pain point: Feeling permanently defined by your past damage and mistakes[00:05:00] - Introduction to Post-Traumatic Growth (PTG) and how growth comes from the struggle, not the event[00:06:00] - The five key areas where people experience growth after trauma[00:08:00] - Actionable Step 1: Reflect on one strength you've gained or enhanced through your struggle[00:10:00] - Actionable Step 2: Journal prompt - What have I learned about myself, others, or life?[00:11:00] - Viktor Frankl quote and closing thoughts on transformation and the free worksheet resourceSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In the tenth episode of "The Mystery of Seeds," Duane Sheriff reveals the biblical truth about the dual nature of reaping, which can be either a blessing or a hardship. While we often reap what we sow, there are also instances where we reap where we did not sow.This dual reality, rooted in John 4:35-38, shows that when the Israelites entered the Promised Land, they reaped cities they had not built and vineyards they had not planted. This parallel helps us to recognize the unearned blessings in our lives, while also understanding our responsibility to sow good seeds.This mystery reveals why some believers struggle with self-condemnation when facing challenges, not realizing they're experiencing casualties of living in a fallen world. Understanding this principle offers incredible freedom—no longer questioning, "what did I do wrong?" Instead, focus on sowing good seeds by faith through God's grace.The Mystery of Seeds - Duane Sheriff Ministries

In the ninth episode of "The Mystery of Seeds," Duane Sheriff reveals a profound truth about the kingdom of God that brings clarity to the confusing seasons we encounter in life. Although it's true that we reap what we sow, there's another mystery to consider - we may also reap things that we did not sow.Drawing from the words of Jesus in John 4, we learn that we can reap a harvest from seeds that others have sown. Sometimes, we face difficulties not due to our own poor choices, but instead we are caught in a fallen world where others exercise their free will to sow destructive seeds. This insight changes how we face life's unexpected challenges. Recognizing this truth may eliminate unnecessary guilt and provide hope in God's justice and reward system.The Mystery of Seeds - Duane Sheriff Ministries

In the eighth episode of "The Mystery of Seeds," Duane Sheriff teaches that our hearts serve as soil for God's Word. Just as fertile soil is needed for plants to thrive, we must prepare our hearts to receive God's Word to bear spiritual fruit. The Holy Spirit serves as water to nourish the seeds.This concept is illustrated in Mark 4, where God's Word is compared to a seed, and our hearts are likened to the ground that receives that seed. Similarly, our words and thoughts act as seeds, possessing the power to sow life or death in ourselves and others. Therefore, we must guard our hearts to ensure that only seeds of faith, truth, and life take root. By intentionally cultivating good soil in our hearts and sowing wisely, we will produce the spiritual fruit that transforms lives and advances God's kingdom.The Mystery of Seeds - Duane Sheriff Ministries

Healthy relationships don't happen by accident. In "4 Keys to Healthy Relationships," Duane and Sue Sheriff discuss how healthy relationships are built on intentional, godly communication. They apply biblical principles that strengthen every relationship—marriage, family, friendships, and even the Church. Honest conversation, active listening, and Christlike love form the foundation for lasting connections. When communication breaks down, misunderstanding and division take root, but when we learn to speak the truth in love and listen with humility, healing begins. Whether you're married, single, or navigating complex relationships, these practical tools will assist you in communicating effectively, rebuilding trust, and experiencing God's design for unity and peace.

Episode 429: The December Retention Crisis: Keeping Students Through the Holidays Podcast Description It's mid-November, and you can feel it coming. Families are getting busier. Attendance is starting to drop. Parents are distracted. And you know what's around the corner—the December retention crisis. Every year, it's the same story. December hits, families disappear, and then January rolls around and half of them don't come back. But it doesn't have to be that way. In this timely episode, Duane and Allie break down exactly how to keep your students engaged, motivated, and committed through the holidays—and how to set yourself up so January isn't a rebuild month. Duane and Allie cover: Why December is so dangerous for retention (and what's really happening) Early warning signs to identify at-risk families before they disappear Proactive retention strategies you can implement right now How to handle the "break" conversation when parents ask to pause Setting up January success in December (pre-selling enrollment, reconnecting with former students) Common mistakes to avoid (and what to do instead) Whether you've been in business for 30+ years like Duane and Allie (combined 60 years of martial arts experience!) or you're newer to school ownership, this episode will give you a clear action plan to finish 2025 strong and start 2026 even stronger. The work you do in November and December determines your January numbers. Don't wait—start now. Key Takeaways 1. December Is a Retention Battleground—Not a Throw-Away Month Families are overwhelmed with school concerts, holiday parties, family travel, shopping, cooking, and hosting. Kids are exhausted from end-of-semester exams, school projects, and holiday events. Parents mentally check out, thinking, "We'll get back to normal in January." The hidden danger: Families who skip 2-3 weeks in December often don't return in January. They were already on the fence—the holidays just gave them permission to quit. The mindset shift: December isn't a "throw-away month." The work you do in November and December determines your January numbers. 2. People Are Creatures of Habit—Don't Let Them Break the Training Habit Allie's "drink analogy": When the refrigerator at his school is full, people constantly buy drinks. The minute it goes empty for a few days, people go to 7-Eleven instead and form a new habit. When he refills the fridge, drink sales drop to zero—he has to ramp them back up again. The lesson: The longer you're closed (or the longer students skip class), the harder it is to get them back into the habit of training. 3. Identify At-Risk Families Early—Don't Wait Until January Red flags to watch for: Attendance drops in November (coming 1x/week instead of 2-3x) Parents stop engaging (no eye contact, quick drop-offs, don't respond to texts) Students seem disengaged (low energy, not participating, sitting out) Families mention "busy schedules" repeatedly They ask about "pausing" or "taking a break" Billing issues (failed payments, late payments, asking about payment plans) Action step: This week, make a list of your at-risk families. Don't wait until they're gone. 4. Overcommunicate in November—Set Expectations for December Send a "Holiday Schedule & Expectations" email or letter in mid-November. Set the expectation: "We know the holidays are busy, but staying consistent is key to your child's progress." Remind families: "Students who train through December start January ahead of the game." Duane's multi-channel approach: Create a video about the holiday schedule and expectations. Post it on YouTube, Facebook, your parent group, send a push notification through the app with the link, and send an email. Get that information out so everybody knows. 5. Create December Incentives to Drive Attendance Perfect Attendance Challenge: Students who attend all December classes (or 80%+ of cl...

In the seventh episode of "The Mystery of Seeds," Duane Sheriff explores the profound mystery of how the condition of the ground influences the principles of sowing and reaping. While many recognize the power and potential of seeds, few understand the significance of the ground.Drawing from Mark 4 and Genesis illustrates how everything in creation came from the ground—trees, animals, and humans. The ground, much like a mother's womb, activates and nurtures the seed, leading to a bountiful harvest. The story of Cain and Abel shows how sin affects the ground's ability to yield fruit.Just as natural seeds need good soil to prosper, spiritual seeds require pure hearts to produce supernatural harvests. Spiritual ground determines the quality of the harvest. Keep your heart, which is your spiritual ground—pure and receptive so God's Word can activate the miraculous power of the ground in your life!The Mystery of Seeds - Duane Sheriff Ministries

In the sixth episode of "The Mystery of Seeds," Duane Sheriff reveals the crucial principle that seeds are sown in one form but reaped in another form. In 1 Corinthians 15 and Mark 4, we uncover that many miss their harvest because they expect it to return exactly as they planted it.God is the Lord of the harvest, and He determines the form of your return. Whether you sow money and reap opportunities or plant kindness and receive favor through different channels, the key is learning to discern when harvest time comes and having the humility to receive God's provision. Just as Jesus' physical body was sown in one form but raised in a completely different form at the resurrection, our spiritual seeds follow this same principle. Open your eyes to God's blessings in unexpected forms, and cultivate the humility, patience, and faith needed to discern and receive the full harvest of what you've sown.The Mystery of Seeds - Duane Sheriff Ministries

Every person was created to reflect the image and likeness of God. Unfortunately, sin has distorted that reflection and blinded many to their true worth. In part one of “Bearing God's Image,” Duane Sheriff reveals the divine design behind humanity's creation and the incredible value God places on every human life.From Genesis to Colossians, Scripture declares that we are not accidents—we are image bearers of a holy and loving Creator. Sin damages God's image in man, but righteousness through Jesus Christ restores it. Understanding this truth is essential to recovering our God-given dignity in today's confused and broken culture.God's image isn't something we put on—it's who we were created to be!

In the fifth episode of "The Mystery of Seeds," Duane Sheriff explores the profound necessity of a seed's death to produce a harvest, drawing parallels between physical and spiritual seeds. John 12 reveals that seeds remain dormant until they are sown and must die to bear fruit, similar to Jesus, the promised seed, whose sacrificial death resulted in a global harvest of believers.Just as natural seeds must literally split and die in the ground to transform from one form into something greater, our spiritual seeds require the same process. When we give, show kindness, or demonstrate mercy, these seeds only produce a harvest when we release control and let them "die" by trusting God completely. True seed death means surrendering the when, where, and how of our harvest to Jesus, the Lord of the harvest. We plant, we water through prayer, but only God gives the increase in His perfect timing.The Mystery of Seeds - Duane Sheriff Ministries

In the fourth episode of "The Mystery Of Seeds," Duane Sheriff teaches how to understand and cooperate with the divine law of sowing and reaping. This seemingly straightforward natural process contains deep spiritual mysteries applicable to every aspect of life. In Genesis 1, God establishes that everything contains a seed within itself, capable of reproducing after its own kind. All of life's provisions originate with seeds, making our choices profoundly consequential. Every action, word, and thought functions as a seed that will inevitably produce a corresponding harvest. Be intentional about what you plant in your life while trusting in God's perfect timing for the harvest, knowing that we will reap what we sow.The Mystery of Seeds - Duane Sheriff Ministries

Everything starts with a seed. All of God's promises about you exist in a seed form, waiting for you to bring them to life. In the third episode of "The Mystery Of Seeds," Duane Sheriff reveals the spiritual principle of sowing and reaping. Galatians 6:7-9 reminds us that God is not mocked, and whatever we sow, we will reap. This immutable law applies to both our natural and spiritual lives. Consider your thoughts, words, and actions as seeds that will inevitably produce a harvest. If you sow good seeds which align with the Spirit, you will reap eternal life and blessings. The Mystery of Seeds - Duane Sheriff Ministries

In this segment, Mark is joined by Duane Patterson, with Hot Air, the Host of the Duane's World Podcast and a Producer of the Hugh Hewitt Show. He breaks down the Election Night 2025 results and what went wrong for Republicans.

In episode two of "The Mystery of Seeds," Duane Sheriff explains that the law of seeds is an unchanging principle in God's kingdom. These divine mysteries, while hidden from those with evil intentions, are revealed to believers through the Holy Spirit. Spiritual laws, like the law of seeds, reflect natural laws in their constancy, reliability, and predictability. By understanding and aligning with these principles, believers can unlock blessings and experience spiritual growth. Every promise from God exists as a seed waiting to be planted through faith, prayer, and action. No matter what circumstances you face, God has already provided the seed for your breakthrough—you simply need the wisdom to recognize it, plant it, and patiently tend to its growth until harvest time arrives.The Mystery of Seeds - Duane Sheriff Ministries

Journalist Sam Quinones, renowned for his deeply impactful books Dreamland and The Least of Us about the opioid and synthetic drug crises, returns to The Addicted Mind with a profoundly different, yet connected, story. In this episode, Sam and host Duane Osterlind dive into Quinones' newest book, The Perfect Tuba: Forging Fulfillment from the Bass Horn, Band and Hard Work. Sam shares his unexpected pivot from writing about the devastating cycle of addiction and consumerism—where people seek happiness from something they buy—to exploring stories of people who cultivate their own value from within. He found this liberation and internal worth in the unlikeliest of places: the world of the tuba.You'll hear why the tuba, often dismissed as the ‘fat elephant' of the band, became a metaphor for breaking free of limits and an antidote to the inertia of addiction. Sam shares incredible stories, from the enormous popularity of the tuba in Mexican immigrant communities in Los Angeles to the legendary tale of the two "perfect tubas" that are the "Holy Grail" of the instrument.This conversation reveals the powerful life lessons learned in the band room: postponed gratification, perseverance, and collaboration. Sam and Duane draw a beautiful, clear analogy between the dedication required to master a tough instrument and the difficult, rewarding journey of addiction recovery. They explore how the energy and creativity harnessed by finding your "perfect tuba"—that thing you work hard for—is the strongest defense against the lure of instant gratification and drugs.This episode is an inspiration, demonstrating that we are surrounded by people who embody the values needed to heal and strengthen our culture and community Key TopicsThe Tuba as a metaphor for freedom and inner value versus the consumer model of buying happiness.Why Sam Quinones chose to pivot from writing about drugs (Dreamland, The Least of Us) to writing about the tuba.The surprising history of tuba-playing as an act of liberation and self-discovery.The profound connection between the hard work of mastering an instrument and the journey of recovery.The inspiring story of the Roma High School band in Texas and the power of investing in music education in poor communities.The legend of the two "perfect tubas"—the Holy Grail of the instrument world—and why they are so valuable.The essential values learned in band—punctuality, collaboration, and focus—that serve as a bulwark against addiction.Resources THE PERFECT TUBA: Forging Fulfillment from the Bass Horn, Band, and Hard WorkSubstackInstagram FacebookNovusMindfulLife.comhttps://www.theaddictedmind.com/community Episode CreditsIf you like this podcast and are thinking of creating your own, consider talking to my producer, Emerald City Productions.

Discover how these seed principles can transform your spiritual journey.The Mystery of Seeds - Duane Sheriff Ministries

Discipline is an essential part of parenting, but if done incorrectly, it can wound rather than train. In Part Four of Building Strong Families, Duane Sheriff teaches from Ephesians 6 about the biblical command not to provoke our children to wrath. Every parent faces moments of resistance and frustration, yet God's Word provides wisdom for disciplining with love instead of reacting in anger.By recognizing key attitudes like anger, inconsistency, neglect, and harshness, we can guard our children's hearts and prevent bitterness from taking root. True love sets boundaries with patience, consistency, and grace—always aiming for restoration, not control. Parenting is not about authority alone but about reflecting the Father's heart and preparing our children to live responsibly before Him. Through understanding, humility, and open communication, we can raise sons and daughters who are secure, respectful, and equipped to walk in God's ways.
