Resilience used to mean something. With each generation, we find comfort taking over inconveniences. Or, does strength just look different now? What should we do when we feel stuck in this modern world? Can we retrain our brains to overcome adversity or are we too far gone? In a world obsessed with shortcuts, motivation hacks, and instant gratification, Steve White argues that true transformation still comes down to one thing: learning how to keep getting up. After battling severe cognitive decline, alcoholism, seizures, depression, and near-suicidal hopelessness, Steve rebuilt his mind, body, and spirit from the ground up through relentless discipline, purpose-driven action, and a decision to fight for his life one day at a time. This conversation explores what modern society gets wrong about resilience, why younger generations are struggling to find meaning, how purpose and service create real strength, and what it practically takes to rebuild yourself physically, mentally, and spiritually in just 100 days.

In this episode of the Growth Now Movement, I reconnect with entrepreneur and visionary builder Chuck Balsamo for the first time in five years, and this conversation dives deep into productivity, focus, entrepreneurship, family, legacy, and the systems required to build something truly meaningful. Chuck shares what life has looked like during the last several years of building new ventures, staying intensely focused on growth, and learning how to protect both his energy and his time while still showing up for the people who matter most. We talk extensively about the importance of building "fortresses" of productivity by intentionally designing environments that reduce distraction, minimize decision fatigue, and create opportunities for deep work. Chuck explains how time blocking, routines, boundaries, and intentional calendar management have become essential tools for both business success and personal peace. Drawing from concepts popularized by Daniel H. Pink around willpower, discipline, and habits, Chuck breaks down why most people fail to protect their focus and how entrepreneurs can create systems that allow them to perform at a higher level consistently without burning out. One of the most powerful parts of this conversation is Chuck's perspective on legacy. As his businesses have grown, he's become increasingly aware that every "yes" comes at the expense of something else, often time with family. We discuss the emotional realities of entrepreneurship, the tradeoffs that come with ambition, and why saying "no" is one of the most important skills anyone can develop. Chuck also introduces his newest venture, uSpace, a premium backyard remote workspace designed to create an undistracted environment for focused work, creativity, and productivity. He shares the origin story behind the company, the inspiration for the design, pricing and financing options, tax and ROI considerations, and his long-term vision for scaling the business into a potentially billion-dollar brand. We also talk about: The "sprinter mindset" for work productivity Why environment shapes performance How distraction is quietly destroying creativity Why one great idea can completely change your life The importance of protecting mental space Entrepreneurship and ego Health scares that shifted Chuck's perspective on life and empathy This episode is packed with practical insights for entrepreneurs, creators, executives, remote workers, parents, and anyone trying to create more focus, balance, and intentionality in their life. In This Episode, You Will Learn: How Chuck Balsamo structures his days for maximum productivity Why creating a distraction-free environment matters The power of time blocking and hard boundaries How to reduce decision fatigue and improve focus Why saying "no" is critical for long-term success The emotional tradeoffs entrepreneurs face How environment impacts performance and creativity The origin story behind uSpace Why focused work in short bursts is more effective How health scares changed Chuck's perspective on life and legacy Timestamps 00:00 Chuck Returns 01:19 Five Years of Building Behind the Scenes 04:39 Calendars, Time Blocking, and Focus 15:50 The Science of Timing, Habits, and Willpower 21:24 Building "Fortress" Environments for Productivity 25:34 How One Great Idea Can Change Everything 30:18 Ego, Purpose, and Entrepreneurship 32:21 The Sprinter Mindset for Work 41:42 Family, Community, and Balance 48:35 Success Habits and Protecting Space 53:58 Growth Through Health Scares 56:33 Gratitude and Final Thoughts

Three-story house. Professional basketball career. Six-figure income. Everything he chased from the time he was a kid getting picked on in Fort Worth, Texas.And Norense still felt empty.This episode is a full-circle testimony — recorded live from his first apartment in Brooklyn, New York, on the first Monday he's ever missed posting since launching the Mind Bully Podcast in 2021. Not because he quit. Because God finally answered.From being bullied for his gap tooth and skin color, to being sexually assaulted between ages 6 and 8, to chasing validation through basketball, achievement, and women, to standing in a new city with less money than he's ever had — and more peace than he's ever felt — Norense delivers one of the most honest episodes of the entire show.The message? Gratitude. Not the Instagram kind. The kind that only comes when you've been through enough to finally see God's hand clearly.In this episode:Why achieving everything you dreamed of can still leave you hollow — and what that emptiness is actually telling youHow placing your identity in performance, roles, and achievement is a form of idolatry — and how to break freeThe connection between childhood wounds, sexual assault, and the desperate search for worth through external validationWhy suicidal ideation is a lie from the pit of hell — and what God's Word says about who you are when the voice gets loudWhat it means to be led by the Spirit versus living by your vices — and why the two lives can look dangerously similar from the outsideWhy exposure leads to expansion — but only if you're consecrated and know who you are firstA live word on gratitude: how to pause in a new season and recognize God's hand before chasing the next thingKey Truth: "The desires God placed on your heart are a heavenly reality of your capacity."Key Verse: Psalm 139:14 — I am fearfully and wonderfully made.If this episode hit you:Rate and review the Mind Bully Podcast — it helps more homes and hearts find this message.

When a faith built to bless the nation gets quietly diverted into power, the most dangerous act left to the church may be refusing to whitewash the story and choosing instead to become a communion of genuinely unlike people. On the eve of a national prayer rally rededicating America to God, Mark Labberton joined The Jim Wallis Podcast to ask whether Christians who invoke the nation's name are following Jesus or drifting from him. Together with Jim Wallis, Mark reflects on what it means to choose Christ alone, love the neighbour, and refuse a faith fused to national power. They discuss the evangel versus "evangelicalism," the church as a communion of unlike people, worship in a black church, American exceptionalism as theological crisis, and racial gerrymandering after recent court rulings. Episode Highlights "I want to be evangel-centric and not be caught up in the icalisms of a history, a pattern, a habit, a sociology that has often been diverted from the evangel into power—political, social, economic, racial power." "Paul's giving us a vision of the church that's a communion of unlike people. We know a lot about a communion of like people. But a communion of unlike people is meant to be one of the hallmarks of the church." "I can't be a Christian alone, but I also can't be a Christian that matures if I'm a Christian only with people who are like me." "Worship of our country, or the exceptionalism of leaders of our country—these are completely foreign to the body of Christ and to the theology of the kingdom." "It's really like subverting reality by renaming it in a way that's euphemistic, that's literally whitewashing."

When someone close to you receives an unexpected diagnosis, it stops you. Not dramatically. Just quietly. And in that stillness, a question surfaces: how much is happening inside any of us that we simply can't see? In today's episode of Inside Out Smile, I explore the deeper connection between body, mind, and soul, and what it means to truly pay attention. Because none of us know what is happening in our bodies until something manifests. None of us know what another person is carrying emotionally or mentally. And that invisible inner world shapes everything, our health, our choices, our relationships, our energy. This episode is a gentle but powerful reminder to be kind to others, to be kind to yourself, and to be mindful of what you consume, because everything you let in becomes part of your inner environment. If you've ever pushed through when you should have paused, or judged someone without knowing what they were carrying, this one is for you. In this episode: Why the body communicates long before symptoms appear How our emotional and mental world is reflected in our physical health — and vice versa Why real kindness starts with how you treat yourself What it means to consume mindfully — beyond just food A quiet invitation to pay attention before something has to shout   With peace and love always, Amber xoxo

Pain may be loud, but it doesn't get the final word. In “Help Is on the Way,” Sarah Jakes Roberts reminds us that God never asks us to ignore our pain, but He invites us to bring it into His presence. Gratitude and grief can exist in the same heart, and trusting God in the process is how we walk through it with Him. In John 14 and Lamentations 3, we discover how hope is born in the middle of hardship, why pain doesn't have to paralyze your praise, and how the Holy Spirit serves as your advocate, helper, and guide. When Jeremiah's soul was sinking, God's faithfulness lifted his perspective, and He can do the same for you. If you're navigating disappointment, grief, uncertainty, or simply waiting on God, this message will strengthen your faith and remind you that His mercy is still at work.

In this episode, Sathiya sits down with renowned neurosurgeon, author, and speaker Dr. Lee Warren to explore the intersection of neuroscience, faith, trauma, and transformation. Drawing from his experiences as a combat neurosurgeon during the Iraq War, surviving PTSD, and grieving the loss of his 19-year-old son, Mitch, Dr. Warren shares how those painful seasons led him to discover the powerful connection between intentional thinking, faith, and neuroplasticity. The conversation explores the difference between the mind and the brain, how thoughts shape the body and behavior, and why modern neuroscience increasingly supports biblical principles about renewing the mind. Sathiya and Dr. Warren also discuss addiction recovery, habit formation, resilience through suffering, the importance of community and brotherhood, and Dr. Warren's concept of “self-brain surgery” — the process of intentionally rewiring the brain through thought patterns, faith, and action. Throughout the episode, they reflect on scriptures including Romans 12, Philippians 4, Romans 5, and Psalm 103, ultimately encouraging listeners to embrace hope, pursue healing, and recognize their God-given capacity for growth and transformation through adversity.

In this special compilation of The Burn Podcast, Ben Newman sits down with two guests who embody transformation in very different ways. First, Jimmy Rex shares how he walked away from a thriving real estate empire to build a life centered on purpose. After selling Utah's most expensive home and reaching every professional milestone, Jimmy realized success without meaning felt empty. What began as a childhood wound — being told he wasn't good enough — became the fire that drove him to prove his worth. But through deep reflection, he learned to channel that burn into something greater: serving others through his movement We Are The They, helping hundreds of men find connection, purpose, and love over fear.Next, Shannon and Matthew Missimer open up about how slowing down saved their family and led to The Motion of Gratitude. What started as a simple reminder to “be more grateful” evolved into a life-changing mission to live intentionally and teach others to feel gratitude, not just think it. From downsizing their life to traveling through Costa Rica with their kids, the Missimers discovered that real success isn't about doing more — it's about being present, connected, and grounded in what truly matters. Together, these stories remind us that the greatest wins come not from achievement, but from alignment — when you live with intention, purpose, and heart.************************************Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/Pg55rEfzyPIListen on all platforms: https://www.theburnpodcast.com************************************Learn about upcoming events and coaching: https://www.workwithbnc.comGet Ben's latest book The STANDARD:  https://amzn.to/3DE1clY1stWork directly with Ben: https://www.bennewmancoaching.comConnect with Ben Newman:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/continuedfightFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Continuedfight/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ContinuedFightLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-newman-b0b693https://www.bennewmancoaching.com************************************Learn about our Upcoming events and programs:https://www.workwithbnc.comLet's work TOGETHER https://www.bennewmancoaching.comLet's work together to write YOUR next book- BNC PublishingSend us a messageOrder my latest book The STANDARD: Winning at YOUR Highest Level: https://amzn.to/3DE1clY1st Phorm | The Foundation of High Performance Nutrition1stPhorm.com/bnewmanConnect with me everywhere else:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/continuedfightFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Continuedfight/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ContinuedFightLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-newman-b0b693

The Beastie Boys' trajectory is one of the most unique in music history, moving from underground punk, to the "frat-rap" superstardom of Licensed to Ill, to socially-conscious stars of both hip-hop and alternative rock. In this episode, we explore the pivotal moment when the band faced an artistic crisis following the commercial failure of Paul's Boutique. Severing ties with Def Jam and moving to Los Angeles, the trio—Mike D, MCA, and Ad-Rock—found absolute creative freedom in their own L.A. studio. With the help of Mario Caldato Jr. and Money Mark, they began to blend their hip-hop roots with live funk, punk, and rock, resulting in the 1992 triumph, Check Your Head. We'll do a track-by-track breakdown of "So What'cha Want" and "Gratitude," revealing the secrets behind their signature sounds. We'll see how the Hammond organ and distorted karaoke vocals created the atmosphere of "So What'cha Want," and how Adam Yauch's (MCA) spiritual journey influenced the heavy, fuzz-drenched riff of "Gratitude." The episode concludes with a poignant look at the band's legacy following Yauch's passing in 2012, celebrating a group that proved innovation often comes from looking back at your roots while moving fearlessly forward.

Family travel requires intention. In the middle of demanding careers, packed schedules, and the responsibilities of raising children, meaningful time together rarely happens by accident. It is something that must be prioritized. The experiences children have outside of their everyday environment can shape how they view the world. Visiting different countries, interacting with people from different cultures, and seeing life from another perspective often teaches lessons that extend far beyond what can be learned in a classroom. These moments also create opportunities to build values that last. Gratitude, curiosity, compassion, and service are often developed through experiences that challenge assumptions and expand understanding. In this episode of Time Out with the Sports Doctor, Dr. Derrick Burgess shares from Nairobi, Kenya, where his family is enjoying time together before participating in mission work with Ethlyn's Hope. Through conversations with his wife and children, he reflects on why his family chooses experiences over extravagance, the importance of exposing children to different cultures, and the role travel has played in strengthening family bonds, broadening perspectives, and cultivating a heart for serving others. "The more I travel, the smaller the world feels and the more common qualities I feel that all humans have, no matter your race, your gender, your sexuality. I feel that we are more alike than we are different."  – Dr. Derrick Burgess Topics Covered: (00:00:44) Celebrating five years of the podcast (00:01:12) Why family travel is a priority (00:03:29) Kenya mission trip and Ethlyn's Hope (00:04:41) Exploring Nairobi and experiencing Kenyan culture (00:05:47) The family's philosophy on travel (00:06:38) A perspective on international travel (00:08:53) Preparing for a first mission trip (00:09:59) The value of firsthand experiences (00:12:50) How travel strengthens family bonds (00:13:08) Broadening perspectives through new cultures (00:14:07) People are more alike than different (00:14:40) Teaching children the importance of serving others (00:15:20) Closing message  Key Takeaways:   "We look at travel as a way of expanding our children's horizons, especially on a global scale." "The truth about how beautiful these countries are and that they're not as bad as everybody makes them seem." "We always focus on our differences, but traveling around the world, you just notice how much the different cultures are alike." "Seeing her heart to give back, that instilled something in me to want to use the gifts and talents that God gave me to help others."

Gene Zannetti sits down with legendary wrestling coaches Ernie Monaco, Jeff Buxton, and Steve Rivera to discuss the biggest forces reshaping wrestling today, including why parents treating coaching as a transactional service undermines everything coaches build, how the club hopping epidemic creates gaps in wrestling IQ instead of linear development, why building champions starts with parents working on themselves first, the difference between coaching a boarding school environment versus a club where parents never fully let go, and why loyalty and long-term relationships are the foundation of every great wrestling career.Timestamps:1:54 - How Ernie saw the club wrestling explosion coming decades ago5:09 - The transfer portal is destroying team culture13:00 - Parents treat coaching as transactional and miss what coaches actually invest22:00 - The European art metaphor: chipping away everything bad until beauty is revealed31:56 - Building a champion starts with parents working on themselves first34:15 - Blair's boarding environment built independence by removing parents from the equation50:05 - Steve letting Sebastian take a year off in 8th grade and never questioning his commitment again1:03:26 - Club hopping creates gaps in wrestling IQ by skipping from page one to page 2001:14:00 - Gratitude as the bookend that puts every match in proper perspective1:53:32 - The magic of coaching is always in the relationship, not the technique2:20:00 - How money entering the sport is eroding the integrity of youth wrestling2:57:00 - Wrestling's evolution: how athletic and physical the sport has become compared to 30 years ago

Romans: Guilt Grace and Gratitude pt. 92 Text - Romans 12:17-18 by Nick Neves, pastor | Lord's Day Morning | 05.31.26

Sometimes all it takes is one person asking the right question at the right moment. Listener Christina Bonvouloir was fourteen, grieving the loss of her beloved father, and quietly falling apart — until a gruff Latin teacher with a twinkle in his eye pulled her aside and asked what was wrong. She never forgot it. Neither will you To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Imagine a life of faithful church attendance, Bible reading, and devoted service — only to one day discover that the works you built were consumed by fire, reduced to ash, because they were constructed on something other than a fully surrendered heart. In this sobering and Spirit-stirring episode, Keneesha Saunders Liddie calls us to do something most of us quietly avoid: look honestly in the mirror. Not just to see what's there, but to do something about it. Because self-examination without repentance and return is just self-awareness — and God calls us to so much more. Drawing from the grief-soaked book of Lamentations, Keneesha points to Jerusalem in ruins — a people whose neglect of God's goodness, whose murmuring and complaining, had left them exposed to judgment and devastation. The haunting question she raises for each of us is this: are we sitting in our comfortable filth longer than we should? The good news is that the same God who allowed Jerusalem's ruin also made a way for its restoration. He is calling us back — to examine our ways, to test our hearts, and to return to Him so He can restore, cleanse, and renew us. Today's Bible Verse "Let us examine our ways and test them, and let us return to the Lord." — Lamentations 3:40, NIV Ponder Today Self-examination is not optional for the believer — it's a daily discipline. We are called not merely to reflect on our condition but to act on what we find, returning fully to the Lord from whatever is hindering us. Looking in the mirror means nothing if you walk away unchanged. James warns that hearing the Word without doing it is self-deception. The goal of honest self-examination is always repentance and return — not just recognition. Murmuring and complaining reveal a heart that has stopped noticing God's goodness. Jerusalem's downfall began with neglecting to reflect on what God had done. Gratitude is not just a spiritual discipline — it is a safeguard against spiritual drift. We often stand in the way of our own restoration. When we choose to sit in comfortable sin rather than return to God, we delay the very healing and renewal He is ready to bring. Don't stay in the ruins longer than you need to. God inhabits the praises of His people. Even in the middle of trials and difficulty, turning complaint into praise is not denial — it is an act of faith that invites God's presence into your circumstances. A Prayer for You Today Heavenly Father, I humbly bow before You, first thanking You for Your goodness toward me. Search me, O God — if there is any wicked way within me, restore me to You. Forgive me for everything I have done against You, and reveal the places in my life where my motives and intentions have been wrong. Draw me back to You. Help me to praise You when I feel like complaining, and give me the wisdom to turn my difficulties into worship. I want to live a life fully surrendered to You — examining myself often, so that my life may reflect holy consecration unto You. In Jesus' name, Amen.

There's a story about the Buddha bowing to the tree under which he has just gained Enlightenment. Inspired by this this story, Vajragupta sees the whole path to Awakening in terms of gratitude. The grasping mind cannot feel grateful. But the Awakened know and feel just how deeply they are supported and enabled by other people, other life, and conditions in the world around them. Vajragupta uses poetry and anecdotes to give four suggestions for "turning our lives into gratitude". He sees the practice of gratitude as a wisdom or insight practice. From the mind-set and perspective of gratitude, the world becomes larger, more beautiful and abundant, and we naturally wish to give back.

Episode 14: Hold Gratitude and Worry at the Same Time In this episode of Paperclips & Periods, Dr. Emily K. Cabrera, EdD, MSN, CAGS, PMHNP-BC, and Katie Krych, MSN, RN, PMHNP(c), explore what it means to hold gratitude and worry at the same time, especially in seasons where the mind feels full, alert, or overwhelmed. They begin by grounding the conversation in a simple but powerful idea. When anxiety and “what if” thinking take up a lot of mental space, it can become harder to notice what is steady, supportive, and good. Gratitude in this context is not about minimizing fear or pretending everything is fine. Instead, it is about gently widening perspective so that worry and appreciation can coexist without one erasing the other. Throughout the episode, they highlight how gratitude does not need to be profound to matter. It can show up in small, everyday moments such as appreciating a car color that hides dirt more easily, noticing a warm cup of coffee in the morning, or finding a brief pocket of quiet in a busy day. These seemingly small observations can help anchor the nervous system back into the present. From there, the conversation expands into more foundational forms of gratitude, including appreciation for family, friendships, meaningful work, and a supportive social circle. These are often the parts of life that become background noise when stress and worry take center stage, even though they are essential sources of stability and connection. They also discuss how worry naturally narrows attention, why gratitude can feel less accessible during periods of heightened anxiety, and how intentionally noticing both small and meaningful positives can help restore balance. The goal is not to eliminate worry, but to create space for a fuller and more accurate view of lived experience. This episode offers a grounded and realistic approach to gratitude that meets people where they are, especially during emotionally heavy or overstimulated seasons. It closes with a reflective invitation for listeners to identify one small thing and one meaningful thing they can appreciate in the present moment.
