Episode 83 Of PLANTED - "I Believed, Therefore I Spoke" (Psalm 116) by Friendship Baptist Church

In this episode you will learn the nine things I used to accomplish my big and scary goals. I had fewer goals but much bigger and ultra specific. I made goal setting a game (see how on Ep. 241 of the I Love Success Podcast) I had more vacation than ever before (and booked them before I knew if I would succeed). I only focused on the everyday process, not the goal. JUST SHOW UP FOR YOURSELF FOR A FULL YEAR AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS. Even though I was uncertain on HOW to achieve my goals, I had FAITH that it would happen as long as I BELIEVED (+confidence) it would happen and kept showing up. I was sorrounded by people better than me. I created a vision board with my wildest dreams. I consistently worked out + meditated 5x/week + good diet and + at least 7h/sleep I focused on JOY (thank you Lily) and I focused on GIVING as much as possible. Crazy as it seems, somehow the Universe rewarded me, and it can reward you too. A New Year means nothing unless you decide that it should. Connect with me and let me know how I can help. The host is Peter Jumrukovski a Real Estate Agent, World medalist and Author with the mission to help at least 10 million people in 10 years to accomplish their dreams.

“SEE and SAY”(December 30, 2021)After my morning devotions I was sitting in my recliner softly praying in the spirit when the interpretation came out in English: “SEE and SAY”! As I sat there thinking upon that phrase, I realized how true of a statement that is in everyday life! All day long we see something in the physical world or the mental world and then we speak accordingly! Why? Well for one reason we have been trained from a child to do this. Remember this toy from your youth:In 1965 Mattel released what would become a staple in the educational toy market. The SEE ‘n SAY used the same technology as Thomas Edison's original gramophone to bring the sounds of barnyard animals to children everywhere. I didn't have one of these as a child but my brother who was 7 plus years younger had one, and we bought one for both our daughters.Stop everything you are doing right now and command your mind and body to become still in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ! Wait just a few moments and with your natural eyes closed look at your life. You are at this junction in your life by not just what you have “SEEN” but how you have “SAW” it! Along with what you “SAID” after the way you “SAW” it,  you have created your present condition: *Psalms 116:10 (KJV) I BELIEVED, therefore HAVE I SPOKEN: I was greatly afflicted:*2 Corinthians 4:13 (KJV) We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I BELIEVED, and therefore HAVE I SPOKEN; we also BELIEVE, and therefore SPEAK; Regardless of how much Sgt. Schultz try too live in a box it was impossible for him and its impossible for you!  Now what we “BELIEVE” come from the eyes – the “SEEING” of our heart. Both the Psalmist and the Apostle Paul desiring to teach us from the Old and the New Covenants that we will ALWAYS “SPEAK” from what we “SEE”! Now we are ready to get to the meat of what the Holy Spirit was praying through me this morning.How are you “BELIEVING” (SEEING) things around you? Are you being overwhelmed with all the negativity and hate being spued all around our nation and the world? Have you lost hope? Are you ready to give up and join in with all the naysayers? If you “SAID” yes to any of those questions, then today is your day! First of all, we simply got to come to Jesus as a child and ask Him to help us “SEE” things through His Word:*Matthew 18:1-4 (KJV) At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? 2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, 3 AND SAID, VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU, EXCEPT YE BE CONVERTED, AND BECOME AS LITTLE CHILDREN, YE SHALL NOT ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. 4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.In these verses we “SEE” great truth from the Lord Jesus. Notice what the disciples were “BELIEVING” (SEEING) was a complete opposite to the truth! Lord help us receive this Word as they did so we can be forever changed! True greatness is to be meek and humble as a child, this was a great revelation to the attitude of “men” in this time and culture. At this time men had no respect for women or children, but Jesus has the truth if we will “SEE” it. Jesus “SAW” and “SPOKE” from His Father to bring you and I out of sin and into salvation: *John 12:47-50 (KJV) And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. 48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. 49 For I HAVE NOT SPOKEN OF MYSELF; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should SAY, and what&

Our motto this year is really been about letting go and letting it flow. So this week on the podcast I wanted to elaborate more on that topic since I feel that has been such a big part of our experience lately. 2020 has really turned out to be a gift in many ways. Mostly because it has presented us with the opportunity to practice our “letting go” muscle.    It's been one of those huge letting go lessons that has yet again turned out to be the catalyst for receiving MORE. It's one of the benefits of allowing things to flow instead of gripping so tightly to results, expectations, and outcomes. Many of us have a strong hold on what the outcome SHOULD be in any given situation. And if it doesn't go the way we hope then it leaves us feeling discouraged and sorely disappointed.    We are taught at a young age, that if you believe then you can achieve. But there's the fine print that I never even considered before. There have been many times in my life when I BELIEVED. But things didn't happen the way I wanted which always left me wondering, WHY?    Did I not believe enough? Do I not deserve it? Am I not worthy of it?   What I didn't realize is that I was believing in the wrong thing. Instead of believing it would happen the way my limited perspective wanted it to happen, I needed to believe that my deepest desires are at play. Desires that I may not even be aware of yet. It's a part of me that is still unknown, the unrealized aspect of me that is manifesting the magic.    It's the part that has the power to manifest what is truly wanted, at a deep soul level. So it's more like getting into a space of believing that what ever the outcome, what ever happens, it's all happening for me and for my greatest benefit. Beneath all the superficial, impatient, human minded desires. It's much deeper, and much more gratifying. So trusting in that can be extremely empowering.

How many times have you heard someone say, I believe this or I believe that, but their life doesn't demonstrate what they said they believed. Have you ever wondered why that was? Maybe your first thought was that the person wasn't telling the truth, or maybe they were lazy. I've had this conversation several times with myself about myself.  I didn't understand why what I said I wanted wasn't happening.  I had great intentions.  Being a natural planner and organizer, I developed strategies, vision boards, projections, I've food prepped, bought equipment, and done everything I thought I needed to succeed and make the changes that “I Believed” that I wanted, happen. After many failed attempts and denigrating myself for not accomplishing my goals Feeling bad about myself, then thinking negative thoughts about my inability to change what I wanted.  I asked God to help me understand what was happening. Then my journey to learn what belief is, began. I'm going to tell you what I learned, and I hope that you listen and hear and me. It's not necessary for you to continue to bust your head on the concrete of life. You can learn from my many failures.  You don't have to make the same ones I did.  Unless you're rebellious, and you only believe what you experience. I want to highlight 4 Truths about Belief that no one taught me. Not my parents, family, friends, or the many teachers I received knowledge from. The working definition that I will use is this: Belief is the material of the things you are expecting. Everything that you can touch, taste, feel, and hear started out as a belief. Belief is like denim, like concrete, like a cell phone, like a wonderful marriage. It's the material that everything is created from Belief is spiritual – it's not something that you can put your hand on Belief happens in your spirit and your soul. An oversimplified definition - your spirit is the energy that animates your life - it's who you really are Your soul is your mind, will, and emotions, and they're housed in the brain and use your brain to control your body. The 1st truth I want to share with you is that - Belief only happens in the present tense. You can't get past belief, and it doesn't exist in the future. You can't reach back to yesterday and have faith because that time has passed, and without a time machine, you can't go backward in time. When you reach your future, it will be now, not the future. So belief is always NOW. The lifespan of belief is 2-5 seconds, that's it – it's NOW. This is important because you must be aware that you are always creating a belief because it's happening in the present now. Another important Truth about Belief Is that It's the foundation of what you are expecting Everything that you do to achieve what you're believing for stands on top of your belief. This is a major concept to understand. Think about the foundation of a house If you build the wrong foundation Maybe it's not large enough Or it's not strong enough When you start to build the house, and then you furnish the house, the foundation will begin to buckle, and it will crack because it's not large enough or strong enough to handle the load that's built on top of it. The 3rd truth I want to share with you is Belief isn't something that you see with your physical eyes. Belief is only seen with your spiritual eyes – the reason for this is because When you're able to see what you're believing for with your natural eyes, it's no longer belief. It's manifestation The final truth is that Belief isn't enough – Belief MUST be accompanied by work It usually requires a GREAT deal of work Not a little dab, but a lot of work and a lot of challenges will also accompany that work. Many people fall short in the challenges area - they think that because y...

I remember at some point, I BELIEVED that this life coaching work would work for me. I believed that if it had helped thousands of other women end this struggle with over-drinking that it would work for me too. I dreamt of what I would be doing when I lost the weight and stopped over-drinking, I visualized myself on vacation, in a bikini, with lots of energy to see all the sights and to hike and to absorb and remember every single second of my experiences because I wasn't buffering any of them away with alcohol. I dreamt of waking up fresh every day and knew that it was possible.In this episode, I'm going to teach you how to dream again. So many of you can't see past the current struggle that you are in, let me show you how. **Interested in joining the Stop Over-drinking and Start Living coaching program? click the link below and watch all 3 videos, read through the information and then click >>APPLY

The RunRunLive 4.0 Podcast Episode 4-304 – Susan Loken – You’re never too old if you believe (Audio: link) [audio:http://www.RunRunLive.com/PodcastEpisodes/epi4304.mp3] Link epi4304.mp3 Intro Bumper: https://www.crowdrise.com/TeamHoytBoston2015/fundraiser/christopherrussell Hello my friends.  Here we are creeping up on February.  How has the core of you existence been treating you?  Has it been resonating with the universal master mind?  Have you been doing the dosey-doe with your life purpose?   Yeah, me neither.  But I’m getting by.  I don’t know what it is about this time of year that just makes me want to sleep!   It’s all good.  I have the headphones in and I’m listening to some reggae and sipping a local IPA and dredging some creativity from the dregs of my old and atrophied brain for you! My friends.  My running friends.  My endurance sweet hearts.   Those of you new to our podcast, welcome to episode 4-304.  Codec-wise that’s the fourth version or iteration or generation of the RunRunLive podcast and the 304th episode.  Which is kinda cool.   And, please, know that you’re among friends.  We don’t want your money, well not all of it, we don’t want your reviews and we don’t have any t-shirts to sell I have no interest in signing you up for a subscription or coaching.  We just like to deconstruct why running and endurance sports has the ability to drive positive transformation in our lives and why this grand adventure fuels our humanity.  That’s all.  So, you’re among friends.   And never mind all that drivel I spew about zombies, and yak farming and me being a hit man for the Irish Mafia…That’s all just a little fun I’m having.  That’s just a smoke screen. Or is it?  Anyway, here we are again and I have a great show for you.  Our interview today is with Susan Loken who took up running at the age of 36 and within a few years made the Olympic trials and became masters’ marathon champion.  We talk through how it has changed her and what lessons we can learn from deconstructing her success.  It’s a great chat.   When I recorded this I was still fighting my way out of the chest cold I caught in the Caribbean and you can hear it in my voice.  Battling through adversity to bring you this lovely athlete. Susan and I were introduced by a friend of mine from the Goon Squad Runners, one of my running clubs, with the motto “No whining, just running.”  Her code name is Cougar and Susan is her coach and she’s one of the runners I respect locally for doing the work and pushing herself.   In section one, the running tips section I’m going to bring you a piece on treadmill step-up runs, which I’ve probably talked through before, but I thought it was timely with the weather pushing us inside.   In section two I’m going to revisit another topic that we’ve discussed in the past, “How to get out of a winter funk.” Again, this may not be new information for you folks, but the timing is right and I had to work through it myself again, so I figured I’d share the love.  How’s my running going?  Fairly well. As you know I’m training for Boston now.  As you also know I’ve got a heart problem that is constraining some of the ways and types of training I’ve done in the past.  Nothing life threatening, just something to work with.   To net it out, I can’t really do the tempo and speed work and a lot of the effort based heart rate training I’ve done so successfully in the last ½ decade.  Instead I’m working on building a huge base at an aerobic level and building my core strength.   What does this look like?  This is a build week for me and I’ll run 3 days of 1:45 at zone 2 effort, (conversational effort).  For me that’s like 12 miles a session, so that’s a nice 36 mile volume before I get to my Sunday long run.  Sunday I’ll do another 16 and guess what campers?  That’s 52 miles on a 4 day week.  Pretty good, huh?  On the other 3 days I’m core training. I’m experimenting with some awesome new core protocols that I think are going to work out.  It’s a totally different approach than I’ve done before and really intriguing.  It’s too early to make a call but I’ll let you know.  The challenge I’ve had this week is fitting 1:45 of running into a weekday.  I prefer to run in the daylight for these and that’s a big chunk of the work day.  I’ve been able to pull it off by prioritizing, but it’s a challenge.   The theory here is that I’ll be able to build so much strength I’ll be able to bring my pace up for the big race, maybe.  We’ll see.  For now I’m having fun with it.  I was casting about for some company for my Sunday long run today and my buddy Ryan reminded me that this weekend is the Derry 16 miler.  I went to the site and low and behold it hadn’t sold out so I signed up.  Derry is an awesome race with a stupid difficult course that brings rookies to tears.  I’ve run it at least 10 times.   For those of you who read my book of running stories “The Mid-Packer’s Lament” you’ll recognize the references to Derry.  Back in the day we ran it in snow storms and in below zero Fahrenheit temperatures.  One year we had a guy die in front of us there, no kidding.  http://runrunlive.com/my-books If you like my voice, and by that I don’t mean the digitized sound vibrations of my vocal chords, I mean the unique melody to my prose and the slightly odd way I turn a simile go check out my books of running stories.  You can get them on Amazon or as an e-book from my website or lining bird cages in the seedier parts of town.   I even read them into audio and you can find those on my website.  If you can’t find them or the website is broken, just shoot me an email.  That is my gift to you! My voice set free like a rabid Tasmanian devil, or maybe a zombie yak, to terrorize your brain and make your runs that much more interesting.  On with the show!  Section one - Running Tips http://runrunlive.com/treadmill-progression-runs Voices of reason – the interviews Susan Loken – Masters Marathon Champion and coach. http://www.believetrainbecome.com/ Growing up, I was that girl that always skipped gym class because all that exercise and sweat would ruin her fabulous Farah Fawcett hair. By the age of 36, I had reached a new stage in my life. After the birth of my 3rd son, I was sick of being out-of-shape, short on “me time,” and suffering from lack of good friendships. I was desperate for change, so desperate that I was willing to sweat. I began running and it actually felt good. My baby weight quickly dropped off and I met my first running friend, who suggested we train for a marathon. Once I was convinced that a 26.2 mile run wouldn’t cripple me, I agreed and we began training. As I crossed the finished line of my first marathon, huge crocodile tears of joy poured down over a smile so big that it hurt my face, and I didn’t even mind that my hair was sweaty. I knew that I had been changed forever. If I could finish a marathon, I could do anything! I believed in myself and I trained with passion, knowing that success would follow; in doing so, I gained confidence and the understanding that I could become whatever I dreamed! From that moment forward, I Believed, Trained, and Became a 3-time USA Olympic Marathon Trials qualifier, 4-times USA Masters Marathon Champion, 3-time winner of the More Marathon in NYC, and a girl that loves her icky sweaty hair! I share my passion for running by coaching others to Believe, Train and Become! If you are a competitive runner, I can help you take minutes off of your personal record. If you are a recreational runner, I can help you improve your fitness and endurance, and reach your personal goals. If you are new to running or a walker, I can introduce you to an improved life of fitness.

Section two – Life Skills http://runrunlive.com/getting-out-of-a-winter-funk-part-part-two (2013) http://runrunlive.com/getting-out-of-a-winter-funk Outro Hey, Hey, Hey, Episode 4-304 has drawn to a close.   The best thing about this whole podcasty running community thing is the cool people I get to talk to and hang out with.  That’s the cool part.  You guys are the cool part. I meet new people every week.  I’ll give you a couple stories from our funky online running community for this week.  I’m on FaceBook as Chris Russell and have a RunRunLive group as well.  I guess Facebook must recommend me as a friend to other runners because I get friend requests, like everyone does.   Usually I click through to make sure they are real people and not robots or spammers.  I can tell by the number of friends we have in common.  If their profile picture is them smiling with a bib number pinned to their chest, they’re in. If their profile picture is them grinding up the side of a mountain, yop, they’re in.   This week I had a lady send me a friend request.  I clicked through and there were the familiar pictures of a mature, athletic woman in her running stuff.  But, the next series of pictures from her Instagram had me baffled, I’m thinking, what is that? A baby squirrel? And clicking on them I soon realized that these were pictures of the detailed anatomical nature.  I mean, I have nothing against you sharing liberally, but I couldn’t friend you.  I was having pictures of our relationship ending with me being held for ransom by the Russian mafia and I decided to head that off at the pass… Today I’m working and a friend request comes through.  I look at this lady’s profile and it seems kosher so I accept.  (don’t worry this story has nothing to do with baby squirrels) A few minutes later I get a message “Always good to meet fellow runners!”   I figure I’ll play nice and respond, “Nice to meet you, what are you training for?”  She says, “I’ve run 3 5k’s and am planning for a 10K.” and goes on to tell me how she’s just started and still has to run walk. I tell her it’s the best part of running to be a new runner starting on the adventure.  She asks me how long I’ve been running.  I say “A few years…” Then send a picture of my medal rack and marathon quilt and tell her about the podcast.  So welcome to my world Chrissy.  Nice to have you on our adventure.  … I know I’ve been saying this for months, but, honestly, my new book on how to qualify for the Boston Marathon in 14 weeks while holding down a full time job and a family is done and edited.  I’m pulling the website together and I really like this one.   It’s not so much a ‘how to’ as it is my manifesto on racing and training the Boston Marathon.  I did not choose to write it.  It chose to be written.  I really like it.  Patience, I’ll get it up in the next two weeks.  Finally.  I need your help.  And by help I mean money! For my Team Hoyt campaign for Boston.  I remember the first time I met Rick and Dick Hoyt.  It was in some 10K or 5 miler somewhere back in the 90’s.  I remember passing them in the race.  Later when I was talking to Dick at a race expo I related that story to him and without missing a beat he said, “Yeah, I remember that race, I had a chest cold or you never would have caught us.”   https://www.crowdrise.com/TeamHoytBoston2015/fundraiser/christopherrussell And that’s the thing about Dick and Rick.  They didn’t set out to change the world.  They set out to run.  Like we all do.  They did what they could do.  They ran.  They weren’t doing it to put on a big show or to call attention.  They were part of the community up here.  They put in the work.  The qualified for Boston under the original 2:50 standard years ago and the BAA wouldn’t let them run in the race.  But they kept showing up and doing that thing that we as runners do.  They ran.   This humble man with this simple thing eventually changed the world.  And I’d like your help to keep Rick and Dick’s legacy going.  I’d like your help to propagate their ripples in our pond.  This is good in our world that we can help.   Please go to my crowd rise page https://www.crowdrise.com/TeamHoytBoston2015/fundraiser/christopherrussell and help sustain this good in the world.  Twenty bucks folks, that’s a way you can make ripples in our pond.  And that, my friends is how leadership works.  It’s like radiation.  You radiate as an individual and as a leader.  And what you radiate influences the people who come into contact with you.  If you cultivate stress and negativity, that’s what you will radiate and that is the pollution you will propagate.  But if you radiate positivity and leadership in your thoughts and actions that will radiate out from you and change the world.  Let’s change the world.  And while we’re changing the world, I’ll see you out there.  Closing comments http://runrunlive.com/my-books  

The RunRunLive 4.0 Podcast Episode 4-304 – Susan Loken – You're never too old if you believe (Audio: link) [audio:http://www.RunRunLive.com/PodcastEpisodes/epi4304.mp3] Link epi4304.mp3 Intro Bumper: https://www.crowdrise.com/TeamHoytBoston2015/fundraiser/christopherrussell Hello my friends.  Here we are creeping up on February.  How has the core of you existence been treating you?  Has it been resonating with the universal master mind?  Have you been doing the dosey-doe with your life purpose?   Yeah, me neither.  But I'm getting by.  I don't know what it is about this time of year that just makes me want to sleep!   It's all good.  I have the headphones in and I'm listening to some reggae and sipping a local IPA and dredging some creativity from the dregs of my old and atrophied brain for you! My friends.  My running friends.  My endurance sweet hearts.   Those of you new to our podcast, welcome to episode 4-304.  Codec-wise that's the fourth version or iteration or generation of the RunRunLive podcast and the 304th episode.  Which is kinda cool.   And, please, know that you're among friends.  We don't want your money, well not all of it, we don't want your reviews and we don't have any t-shirts to sell I have no interest in signing you up for a subscription or coaching.  We just like to deconstruct why running and endurance sports has the ability to drive positive transformation in our lives and why this grand adventure fuels our humanity.  That's all.  So, you're among friends.   And never mind all that drivel I spew about zombies, and yak farming and me being a hit man for the Irish Mafia…That's all just a little fun I'm having.  That's just a smoke screen. Or is it?  Anyway, here we are again and I have a great show for you.  Our interview today is with Susan Loken who took up running at the age of 36 and within a few years made the Olympic trials and became masters' marathon champion.  We talk through how it has changed her and what lessons we can learn from deconstructing her success.  It's a great chat.   When I recorded this I was still fighting my way out of the chest cold I caught in the Caribbean and you can hear it in my voice.  Battling through adversity to bring you this lovely athlete. Susan and I were introduced by a friend of mine from the Goon Squad Runners, one of my running clubs, with the motto “No whining, just running.”  Her code name is Cougar and Susan is her coach and she's one of the runners I respect locally for doing the work and pushing herself.   In section one, the running tips section I'm going to bring you a piece on treadmill step-up runs, which I've probably talked through before, but I thought it was timely with the weather pushing us inside.   In section two I'm going to revisit another topic that we've discussed in the past, “How to get out of a winter funk.” Again, this may not be new information for you folks, but the timing is right and I had to work through it myself again, so I figured I'd share the love.  How's my running going?  Fairly well. As you know I'm training for Boston now.  As you also know I've got a heart problem that is constraining some of the ways and types of training I've done in the past.  Nothing life threatening, just something to work with.   To net it out, I can't really do the tempo and speed work and a lot of the effort based heart rate training I've done so successfully in the last ½ decade.  Instead I'm working on building a huge base at an aerobic level and building my core strength.   What does this look like?  This is a build week for me and I'll run 3 days of 1:45 at zone 2 effort, (conversational effort).  For me that's like 12 miles a session, so that's a nice 36 mile volume before I get to my Sunday long run.  Sunday I'll do another 16 and guess what campers?  That's 52 miles on a 4 day week.  Pretty good, huh?  On the other 3 days I'm core training. I'm experimenting with some awesome new core protocols that I think are going to work out.  It's a totally different approach than I've done before and really intriguing.  It's too early to make a call but I'll let you know.  The challenge I've had this week is fitting 1:45 of running into a weekday.  I prefer to run in the daylight for these and that's a big chunk of the work day.  I've been able to pull it off by prioritizing, but it's a challenge.   The theory here is that I'll be able to build so much strength I'll be able to bring my pace up for the big race, maybe.  We'll see.  For now I'm having fun with it.  I was casting about for some company for my Sunday long run today and my buddy Ryan reminded me that this weekend is the Derry 16 miler.  I went to the site and low and behold it hadn't sold out so I signed up.  Derry is an awesome race with a stupid difficult course that brings rookies to tears.  I've run it at least 10 times.   For those of you who read my book of running stories “The Mid-Packer's Lament” you'll recognize the references to Derry.  Back in the day we ran it in snow storms and in below zero Fahrenheit temperatures.  One year we had a guy die in front of us there, no kidding.  http://runrunlive.com/my-books If you like my voice, and by that I don't mean the digitized sound vibrations of my vocal chords, I mean the unique melody to my prose and the slightly odd way I turn a simile go check out my books of running stories.  You can get them on Amazon or as an e-book from my website or lining bird cages in the seedier parts of town.   I even read them into audio and you can find those on my website.  If you can't find them or the website is broken, just shoot me an email.  That is my gift to you!
