Podcasts about Lasting

Lasting motivation requires three conditions:A sense of competenceA sense of relatednessA sense of autonomy or the felt experience that your actions are genuinely your ownBut there is a difference between consultative decision-making and approval-dependent motivation. In the first, you gather input and then decide, with the locus of commitment sitting inside you. In the second, the decision itself waits to be made by someone else's reaction, and so does your energy.FIX IT WITH: Values clarification Tiny actions that align with those values THE SOURCE: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/social-instincts/202607/1-habit-that-kills-motivation-for-most-adultsRead Julie's Medium Blog.Support JULIE (and the show!)Support + get some bonus stuff over on PATREON.Get an occasional personal email from me: www.makeyourdamnbedpodcast.comTune in on INSTAGRAM AND YOUTUBE or TIKTOK.Info on War Tax Resistance.Donate to the Palestinian Children's Relief Fund and the Sudan Relief FundThe opinions expressed by Julie Merica and Make Your Damn Bed Podcast are intended for entertainment purposes only.

Want help uncovering the real reasons behind your urges and build a plan to overcome your pornography use? Click here to book a free call with Sam to get help to overcome pornography – https://stopporn.info/    Have questions you want me to address on future podcast episodes? Email me here:  sam@healingcouples.org   Episode show notes: One of the most painful effects of pornography addiction isn't another slip—it's when a wife becomes afraid to be honest because she's worries her husband will fall back into pornography. In this episode, I explain why this dynamic develops, why it has nothing to do with her emotions being "too much," and how couples can break this cycle together. If you're working through porn addiction recovery, trying to overcome porn urges, or looking for practical relapse prevention strategies, this conversation will help you understand why recovery is about far more than simply avoiding pornography. Lasting freedom comes from building the emotional capacity to handle difficult moments without turning to pornography. You'll learn why unresolved shame is often part of the root cause of pornography addiction, and why emotional resilience is one of the most overlooked tools for long-term recovery. I'll walk you through practical exercises to help you recognize the stories your mind creates, identify the real factors behind difficult conversations, strengthen self-worth, and respond with curiosity instead of defensiveness. In this episode you'll learn: Why wives often begin walking on eggshells after pornography addiction. The hidden connection between shame and recurring pornography use. How to identify pornography triggers that have nothing to do with sexual temptation. Practical relapse prevention tools for difficult conversations. Why emotional safety is essential for healing porn in marriage. How building self-worth reduces shame-driven pornography patterns. Communication skills that rebuild trust after betrayal. Why lasting emotional healing requires addressing the root causes instead of relying on willpower. Whether you're looking for porn addiction counseling, trying to rebuild trust after pornography, or searching for healthier ways to handle stress, shame, and conflict, this episode gives you practical tools you can begin using today. If you've been searching for help with porn addiction recovery, freedom from pornography, healing a marriage after porn, overcoming pornography triggers, understanding the root cause of pornography addiction, or learning how to build lasting emotional healing and self-worth, this episode is for you.  

This week, Jake and Bob discuss the subtle ways the enemy gains influence in our lives through the interpretations, judgements, and conclusions we draw in the ordinary moments of everyday life. They explore how these footholds can gradually become strongholds, why fear and shame often lie beneath our attempts to protect ourselves, and how distorted images of God shape the way we see the world. No matter where you may find footholds in your life, there is hope. Through simple acts of trust each day, we can learn to let God become our true stronghold.    Key Points: The enemy often gains influence through subtle interpretations in everyday life rather than obvious temptations. Strongholds are built through repeated agreements with lies, judgments, and false beliefs. Fear frequently lies underneath anger and drives many of our defensive reactions. Footholds become believable because they attach themselves to existing wounds and vulnerabilities. Pride convinces us that we fully understand another person's motives or God's actions. A lack of peace and the absence of the fruits of the Spirit can reveal areas of bondage. Confession is a powerful place to bring our agreements with lies and receive grace. Renouncing lies and proclaiming truth is a simple but effective daily practice to loosen the bonds of footholds. Lasting freedom grows through repeated, small acts of trust that allow God to become our true stronghold.   Resources: Healing Prayers and Renunciations Booklet   Chapters: 00:00 Introduction 00:41 How the Enemy Gains A Foothold  10:07 Anger, Fear and Speaking Truth 14:45 Fear: Emotion vs Wound 24:44 Recognizing Strongholds in Daily Life 33:28 Breaking Agreements and Experiencing Freedom 42:35 The Power of Small Acts of Trust   Connect with Restore the Glory:  Instagram: @restoretheglorypodcast  Twitter: @RestoreGloryPod Facebook: Restore the Glory Podcast   Never miss out on an episode by hitting the subscribe button right now!

Most coaches assume that awareness leads to change, but in reality, awareness alone rarely creates lasting behavior change. In this episode, we break down why clients can deeply understand their patterns, childhood wounds, and emotional triggers and still remain stuck in the same cycles for months or even years. You'll learn why traditional mindset coaching often stays at the surface level, and what actually creates sustainable transformation in coaching sessions. I introduce my four-step behavior change framework, the AVRR Method (Awareness, Disruption, Replacement, Repetition), a trauma-informed coaching strategy designed to help coaches move clients from insight into embodied, lasting change. This episode covers: Why awareness is not enough for behavior change The neuroscience behind why patterns repeat How environmental cues drive client behavior Why disruption is the missing step in most coaching models How to replace old patterns with sustainable new behaviors The role of repetition in creating identity-level change A real coaching case study showing transformation in action If you are a coach, therapist, or practitioner who feels like your clients "get it" but aren't changing, this episode will show you exactly why and what to do differently.   Apply to The Art and Skill of Coaching: https://calendly.com/jessicademarchis     1-1 Trauma-Informed Coaching: www.chatwithjess.com   Stay in Touch: www.jessicademarchis.com IG @jess_demarchis_coaching

This week, Ivy Slater, host of Her Success Story, chats with her guest, Diane Coburn Bruning. The two talk about the origins of Diane Coburn Bruning's passion for dance, the founding and mission of the Chamber Dance Project, which pairs dancers with live musicians, and the unique challenges of sustaining a performing arts company. In this episode, we discuss: How a passion for both dance and live music inspired the founding of Chamber Dance Project, and its unique approach to performances with live musicians. What it was like to build a dance company in New York and later in Washington, D.C., including the challenges of financial sustainability and artist support. Diane Coburn Bruning recognized the need to create opportunities for dancers and choreographers during traditional company layoffs, leading to the company's founding in 2000. Why live music is essential to an authentic dance experience, and the importance of smaller, more intimate venues for both audiences and performers. What goes into commissioning new works and supporting emerging and established choreographers through the Chamber Dance Project. Why building a company is a marathon, not a sprint, and why patience and persistence are critical for growth in the arts. Diane Coburn Bruning, founder of Chamber Dance Project In 2000, choreographer Diane Coburn Bruning founded Chamber Dance Project, dancers & musicians in New York City guided by a conviction that dance should be performed with live music, that smaller venues afford a more intense experience for viewers and performers alike, and that sharing the creative process engages audiences on a deeper level.

Adam Coons explains the reset of expectations he sees on Wall Street on the inflation front as a volatile energy trade continues to take investors by storm. However, recent economic data suggests a cooldown is possible, so long as the U.S.-Iran conflict eases. Adam doesn't see that happening any time soon. He walks investors down the path he sees for inflation and expectations for the new earnings season as many stocks see elevated valuations. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

What is team coaching, and is it more than just an expensive, touchy-feely extra on major projects? How we behave and perform under pressure is one of the less visible parts of any infrastructure undertaking, but the fact remains: people and leaders are behind every aspect of every project. In this episode, Riccardo and Evgenia are joined by Christi Mertens, the founder of Invisible Discipline. Their probing conversation on human behaviour and how it impacts outcomes addresses the skepticism that so often surfaces when coaching is suggested.Major programmes bring together strangers from multiple organizations and expect timely success under the pressure of huge deliverables and billions of dollars, all despite different corporate cultures, incentives, habits, and assumptions. Drawing on her background in behavioural science, strategic planning, and organization team coaching, Christi's work today focuses on project teams across the full lifecycle. From development and procurement through handover and asset management, she helps them understand and act on how the people around them actually communicate, collaborate, and follow through. Christi explains why motivation is not enough, and how team coaching helps build awareness at three levels: the individual, the team, and the broader operating system they are working within.The discussion doesn't shy away from the industry's ingrained resistance. It tackles why owners and project leaders often question the value of coaching, why vulnerability can be difficult for senior specialists, and why collaborative aims need discipline, habits, and tools to be realized. Before she's done, Christi offers up practical advice for directors forming project bid teams for the first time. This episode highlights what is really behind projects that finish on time, on budget, and without a stack of hostile claims on file. Lasting success depends on reflection, feedback, alignment, and an intentional culture that helps people solve shared problems together.Key takeawaysHow team coaching works across the “me,” the “we,” and the broader project operating system;Why motivation is not enough without discipline, habits, and tools for changing behaviour;The difference between coaching short-term project and long-term organizational teams;Whether or not a true collaborative contract is required for successful collaboration;The risk and reality of trying to be part of a high-performance team.Quote:“Motivation doesn't get you very far…Without discipline and habits and tools for changing behaviour, it's really had to see follow-through.” -Christi MertensThe conversation doesn't stop here—connect and converse with our community via LinkedIn:Riccardo's spreadsheet “AI Startups in Engineering & Construction”: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1TCvfRqqd1NzxgMhVoTMbKeL9bOp_1-mn/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=100654060211988607651&rtpof=true&sd=trueRiccardo's LinkedIn Article “AI Startups in AE&C (Architectural, Engineering and Construction)”: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/ai-startups-aec-architectural-engineering-riccardo-cosentino-bvhrc/Follow Navigating Major Programmes: https://www.linkedin.com/company/navigating-major-programmes/Read Riccardo's latest at www.riccardocosentino.comFollow Riccardo Cosentino: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cosentinoriccardo/Follow Evgenia Jilina: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ejilina/  Follow Christi Mertens: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christi-mertens/

WelcomeHello, lovelies. It's Juliette here.Have you ever wondered why a stranger's touch can make you feel more alive than the person you've loved for years?Today's episode isn't about losing attraction.It's about how your nervous system learns patterns, and how those patterns quietly shape intimacy, desire, and connection in long-term relationships.I share one of the simplest exercises I teach couples around the world. It starts with making a cup of tea, yet it reveals everything about how we ask for what we want, how we receive feedback, and why so many couples slowly stop feeling seen.We also talk about why touch becomes loaded with expectation, why your body braces before your partner even reaches for you, and how emotional safety is the foundation for rebuilding intimacy.If you've ever felt disconnected from your partner, struggled to ask for what you truly desire, or wondered how to bring intimacy back into your relationship, this conversation is for you.

The stock market faces pressure from several angles to end the trading week. Tom White talks about the continuing selling hitting AI stocks, especially in the memory space with Micron (MU) and SanDisk (SNDK), as both stocks trade more than 30% below its all-time high. More U.S. strikes on Iran also aren't doing any favors to alleviate fears that energy volatility will shake commodities again. Tom also discusses Netflix's (NFLX) earnings and subsequent sell-off, along with recent trading action in SpaceX (SPCX). ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Summer is here and we're staying indoors instead of sweating it out. We're keeping it cool in the A/C and with some chilling horror anthology TV to help us get through the long summer days. Here are 4 horror anthology series I've picked for our staff picks will this week. Tales from the Darkside (1983)What could've been Creepshow: The Series became Tales from the Darkside. Created by Night of the Living Dead director George A. Romero and horror producer Richard P. Rubinstein, Tales from the Darkside is a half-hour horror anthology show filled with practical effects, and crazy good folks in the director's chair and the writer's room. I recommend the pilot episode, “Trick or Treat” starring Barnard Hughes, if you want a good flavor for this series. Freddy's Nightmares (1988)Spun off from the A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise, Freddy's Nightmares gave many parents nightmares with its dark, disturbing, violent, and scary content being aired in syndication on broadcast TV where just anyone could watch it! Robert Englund reprises his role as Freddy Krueger and opens and closes each episode with some framing narration. The episode I think you should check out to get a taste for the show is “Killer Instinct,” which stars the great Lori Petty. It's eerie, creepy, and frankly a bit disturbing. If you're down for a good scare or just a big A Nightmare on Elm Street fan, Freddy's Nightmares is well worth your time. The Outer Limits (1995)The 1995 The Outer Limits revival is an incredible cavalcade of acclaimed science fiction and horror writers, directors, and actors. Lasting for 152 episodes and seven seasons, The Outer Limits (1995) far outstripped its predecessor, and offers viewers a fascinating and often poignant exploration of human topics through the lens of science fiction horror. There are so many episodes I could point to for great examples from this series, but one of my favorites is the season 4 episode, “Glyphic.” Starring Rachael Leigh Cook, Brad Swaile, written by Naren Shankar, and directed by the late, great Catherine O'Hara, this is a fascinating episode that deals with an unexplainable disease with an out-of-this-world solution. The New Scooby-Doo Movies (1972)Finally, The New Scooby-Doo Movies from 1972 rounds out my selections for the staff picks wall this week. No, it's not exactly what comes to mind when you think of anthology horror TV, but hear me out, I think it is. It follows in the anthology horror TV format of new guest stars every week, a new monster or ghost to figure out, a bit of mystery to uncover, but it's wrapped in an animated comedy package. It's anthology horror that's fun for everyone, be they adults, kids, or teens. And it also serves as a good chaser if you need something more lighthearted after the first three recommendations. While I literally enjoy every episode of The New Scooby-Doo Movies, I think “The Loch Ness Mess” featuring The Harlem Globetrotters is one of the more interesting, if not strange episodes of the series.

Isle Royale is one of the least visited of America's National Parks. Located in the northwest corner of Lake Superior, it's a tough place to get to.  Access is only by seaplane, ferry or private boat. But once visitors do come, they are likely to return. Karen Bacula has been coming to this remote island since 1997. As a teacher, she also brought students to explore this unique archipelago of islands. Now, retired, she volunteers as director of Michigan Tech's Isle Royale Institute and coordinates Moosewatch volunteers, helping people take part in fieldwork that supports the world's longest-running predator-prey study. In this episode of the Lake Superior Podcast, Walt Lindala and Frida Waara talk with Karen about citizen science, wilderness learning and the lasting pull of Isle Royale.Quotes:“What connected me and made me want to just keep coming back was the beauty, the quiet, the simplicity, but yet incredibly complex whole area of what was there being surrounded by the lake. And many of the people I met were just absolutely wonderful.”“The power of the island, the power of the lake, the serenity, but also realizing that at the drop of a hat, the weather can change. So there's predictability and uncertainty in every step that you take. And I like that feeling.”“There's something special and new about it each time and getting to see the changes.”“We're looking for dead moose and looking for the condition of the skeleton to see what the moose age-wise, health-wise was like, potentially how it died.”“It becomes very cross-curricular at all different grade levels. But they all come out with the big excitement being to learn how the study's done and to learn the field techniques for collecting data for this study.”“Two things I tell them to pack that are not necessarily on the gear list is their patience and sense of humor.”“Work to bring some of what you just felt right now with the people you met and living as close to the earth as you can live, bring some of that back with you and hold on to that.”Helpful links:Learn more about the Wolf-Moose Project:isleroyalewolf.orgLearn more about joining a Moosewatch expedition:isleroyalewolf.org/volunteer-moosewatchLearn more about Moosewatch for Educators:isleroyalewolf.org/moosewatch-for-educatorsLearn more about Isle Royale wolf-moose population dynamics:isleroyalewolf.org/population-dynamicsLearn more about supporting the research through the Wolf-Moose Foundation:wolfmoosefoundation.orgLearn more about the Northern Moose Alliance: moosealliance.org Plan a visit to Isle Royale National Park:nps.gov/isro/planyourvisit/index.htmConnect with us:Lake Superior Podcast Page: https://nplsf.org/podcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/NationalParksOfLakeSuperiorFoundationSponsors:Cafe Imports – Minneapolis-based importers of specialty green coffees since 1993, focused on sustainability.

There's no shortage of health advice these days—but more information doesn't always lead to better results.Every day we're told to try a new diet, buy another supplement, follow the latest trend, or completely change the way we eat. The problem isn't that all of the advice is wrong. It's that most of it is just noise.In this episode, I break down one of the most important lessons I've learned on my own health journey: how to separate the signal from the noise. We also explore what decades of research on successful weight maintenance reveal about the habits that actually move the needle—and why consistency will always beat perfection.In this episode: What "signal vs. noise" means for your health  Why more information isn't always the answer  The common habits of people who lose weight and keep it off  Why quick recovery is more important than perfect consistency  How to stop letting one off-plan meal turn into weeks off track  The role of nutrition, movement, sleep, and self-monitoring  Why focusing on the fundamentals leads to lasting success Key Takeaways: Prioritize nutritious foods most of the time.  Move your body consistently.  Pay attention to your habits without becoming obsessive.  Protect your sleep and recovery.  When life happens, get back to your routine as quickly as possible. You don't need another diet, another supplement, or another health hack.You need a better filter.When you learn to tune out the noise and focus on the habits that truly matter, sustainable health becomes much simpler.References National Weight Control Registry.

What does it really take to build a healthier life without getting lost in trends, misinformation, and quick fixes? In this episode of I'm an Artist, Not a Salesman, host Luis Guzman sits down with entrepreneur, author, and wellness expert Sam Tejada for a deep conversation about modern wellness, preventive health, and the discipline required to create lasting change.Sam shares his incredible journey from becoming a certified lifeguard at just 14 years old to serving as a firefighter and paramedic before launching Liquid Vita, a company focused on helping people take control of their health through data-driven care. Along the way, he explains how his experiences inside emergency medicine completely changed the way he viewed the healthcare system and why he became passionate about prevention instead of simply treating illness after it appears.Luis and Sam dive into the growing movement toward functional medicine, discussing why so many people are questioning traditional healthcare, how lifestyle choices affect long-term health, and why understanding your body is one of the greatest investments you can make. They also unpack the role of toxins, inflammation, nutrition, recovery, and exercise while separating solid information from the hype that often floods social media.The conversation doesn't stop at science. It becomes personal as Luis opens up about his own transformation after losing more than 120 pounds. He shares the mental battles that continue long after the weight comes off, including body dysmorphia, fear of slipping back into old habits, and the daily choice to stay disciplined. Sam offers practical advice for building healthy routines that become part of your identity instead of temporary resolutions.The episode also explores the growing interest in peptides, longevity medicine, biohacking, and advanced health testing. Sam explains how tools like DEXA scans, VO2 Max testing, blood analysis, toxic load testing, and metabolic assessments can provide a clearer picture of overall health instead of relying on guesswork. He also discusses why personalized treatment plans often produce better long-term results than one-size-fits-all wellness trends.Throughout the conversation, both Luis and Sam emphasize that knowledge alone isn't enough. Real change comes from applying what you learn consistently, making better choices every day, and building habits that support the life you want to live. Whether you're an artist, entrepreneur, business owner, or simply someone looking to improve your health, this episode offers practical insights that extend far beyond fitness.In this episode, you'll hear about:Sam Tejada's journey from firefighter to entrepreneur and founder of Liquid VitaThe difference between reactive medicine and preventive healthcareWhy discipline outlasts motivation when building healthier habitsFunctional medicine, biohacking, peptides, and modern wellnessThe importance of DEXA scans, VO2 Max testing, blood work, and personalized health dataNutrition, inflammation, toxins, recovery, and metabolic healthLuis Guzman's personal weight-loss journey and lessons learned after losing over 120 poundsBuilding a sustainable lifestyle instead of chasing short-term resultsIf you enjoyed this episode of I'm an Artist, Not a Salesman, be sure to subscribe so you never miss a conversation with entrepreneurs, creatives, and industry leaders who share the real stories behind their success.

This episode marks the beginning of a brand-new journey. This week, I am introducing what will be our theme for the next year of episodes: Raising Your Standard.

This week, Pastor Ralph continued our FOLLOW series with a teaching on Jesus' command to "seek first the kingdom of God." He began with a simple observation—everyone is seeking something. The real question is what sits at the center of our lives. Working through Matthew's Gospel, Pastor Ralph showed that before Jesus ever calls people to seek the Kingdom, He reveals the King. Pastor Ralph quoted "the only way to dispossess the heart of an old affection is by the expulsive power of a new one." Lasting change comes less from trying harder than from discovering a greater love. As Jesus becomes the center, everything else begins to find its proper place.

Eric Graves, of KMBC 9 News, joined The Drive to recap the time with the World Cup being in Kansas City.

"How are you doing?" It's such a simple question, but the answer often takes a moment of inventory. The answer may be complicated—some good, some bad, overall… okay. The elusive attribute of happy people… Lasting joy. This weekend, we'll explore what joy is and where to consistently find it. And you'll discover the fake joy you should avoid.   First time listening to our podcast? We'd like to get to know you! Do you have any prayer request? Send us a message.  Connect with Us:

Real life change doesn't begin with trying harder, it begins with a changed heart. In Psalm 51, David's prayer of repentance reveals that God isn't looking for perfection, but for honest hearts that are willing to turn back to Him. Repentance is more than feeling sorry for our sin; it's an invitation to experience God's forgiveness, restoration, and transforming grace. As we confess our failures and take responsibility for them, God meets us with mercy and begins the work of making us new. True repentance leads to more than forgiveness- it produces lasting fruit. God renews our hearts, refreshes our souls, and shapes us into people who reflect His character in every area of life. When we approach Him with humility and surrender, we discover that the greatest sacrifice we can offer is a heart fully yielded to Him. Lasting life change isn't something we achieve on our own- it's the miracle God accomplishes in us as we draw near to Him.

In this message from Summer In The Psalms, Psalm 131 reveals where true soul satisfaction is found. While the world continually promises fulfillment through achievement, possessions, success, comfort, and control, every finish line eventually moves. More options and more convenience have not produced more peace. David describes a heart free from pride, eyes free from arrogance, and a life no longer consumed with things beyond its calling. This is not complacency, but humble contentment: faithfully moving toward what God has called us to while remaining satisfied in Him today. Even the waiting room is not wasted, because God is always working while His people wait.Like a weaned child resting securely with a parent, the soul can become quiet in the presence of God—known, loved, protected, and held even when circumstances remain unsettled. Lasting soul satisfaction is found by placing our hope in the Lord now and forever.

Pastor Rodney speaks about Lasting peace.

Lasting life flows from Jesus.

Faithfulness isn’t something our culture celebrates very much. We celebrate talent, success, influence, and achievement. But heaven celebrates something different. Heaven celebrates faithfulness. In the life of someone not under the influence of the Holy Spirit, faithfulness is a constant struggle. But in the life of someone filled with the Spirit, faithfulness begins to grow naturally. It becomes part of who they are. Galatians 5:23, “The Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: Love, joy, peace patience, kindness, goodness, FAITHFULNESS …” Again, it’s a fruit. It’s not something we strain for, it’s something that grows within us and is naturally produced in our lives when we are abiding in Jesus. Faithfulness is a translation of the Greek word ‘pistis’ which means, reliability, trustworthiness, fidelity, loyalty and dependability. Yip, all the things you would look for in a partner – that’s what God naturally GROWS in US! But faithfulness is born out of trusting God. BECAUSE we trust God, we can be absolutely steadfast. We can stay the course and continue forward no matter what because of our unshakable faith in God. Without God, we waiver. With God, we are faithful. Faithfulness isn’t flashy. It rarely gets applause. It’s the behind-the-scenes commitment no one notices. Faithfulness quietly keeps promises. It shows up long after the excitement has faded. It finishes what it starts. It stays when circumstances become difficult. It keeps loving after feelings change. It keeps serving after recognition disappears. It keeps trusting when prayers seem unanswered. Lasting faithfulness is impossible without Jesus. We may keep a promise here and there through sheer determination, but only the Holy Spirit can produce a life marked by consistent faithfulness. When you have Jesus, an unfaithful life feels so incredibly wrong in every sense. The Holy Spirit lovingly refuses to leave us comfortable in unfaithfulness. He convicts us, stirs our hearts, and keeps drawing us back toward obedience. The gift of the Holy Spirit won’t let us sleep when we are being unfaithful. The Holy Spirit will stir us up, poke at us, and leave us in a state of complete unrest when we’re unfaithful. Thank you Lord, for not leaving me like I was! Once again, recognize this is a character of God, not of humans. Adam and Eve lived in paradise. There was no sin, no brokenness, no pain. God gave them one command—just one—and they couldn’t keep it. That’s the story of humanity. Left to ourselves, we aren’t naturally faithful. We wander. We quit. We compromise. We break promises. We fail. But God is different. Deuteronomy 7:9, “The LORD your God is indeed God. He is the FAITHFUL God who keeps his covenant for a thousand generations and lavishes his unfailing love on those who love him and obey his commands.” God has never broken a promise. He’s never abandoned a plan. He’s never walked away from His people. God is faithful. It’s who he is and what he does. **Now here’s the miracle… The faithful God now lives in you. Think about that. The God who has never broken a promise… The God who has never abandoned His children… The God who always finishes what He starts… lives inside you through His Holy Spirit. So it only makes sense that His faithfulness is beginning to grow in you too. So you know what you absolutely MUST do – Stop introducing yourself by your old nature. STOP excusing yourself as someone who simply can’t finish what you start. That may have been the old you, but remember the Spirit of God is now working in you to make you NEW. You’re not who you once were, you’re becoming more and more like Jesus with the character of God reshaping you. Without God, we waver. With God, we are faithful. Maybe you’ve never stuck with anything your entire life – okay – but it doesn’t have to continue that way. Something new is growing now. With the power of the Holy Spirit, let me tell you exactly who you are becoming: You’re becoming the girl who is obedient when no one is watching. Yes, you’re proving you can be trusted with little, so now God is going to trust you with much! You’re becoming the girl who is faithful in her relationships. You keep your commitments and you remain loyal – no matter what. You’re becoming a girl who gives her best even when no one is watching. You work with your whole heart in all you do, as if you’re doing it for God himself. You’re becoming that good and faithful servant. Maybe not always successful, but that’s never what Jesus asked for. He honors your faithfulness over your success. You’re becoming the girl who can wait. The girl who can trust even when the answers don’t come. You’re living out Hebrews 10:23, “Let us hold tightly to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise.” You trust God, so you faithfully wait for the fulfillment of his promises over your life. Without God, we waver. With God, we are faithful. And let me tell you something, your life now feels different with the fruit of faithfulness growing in you. You’re stable. People trust you. You live so much deeper now, stronger now, healthier now. And most importantly, your faithfulness reflects that genuine character of God and people are continually catching a glimpse of Jesus through you. Yip, every time you show up because you said you would – every time you keep going and don’t give up – every time you keep your promises – every time you give your best effort – every single time, you’re shining Jesus to this world. When people know they can count on you, when you are known to keep your word, when you are consistent and steady, when you are unwavering even under pressure, when you are still there even when life gets hard, when you finish the things God asked you to begin, when you stay instead of walking away …. THAT’S THE FRUIT OF FAITHFULNESS GROWING IN YOUR LIFE. That’s the power of God in you! Without God, we waver. With God, we are faithful. Faithfulness looks like Abraham and Sarah trusting God’s promise for a baby for decades. Faithfulness looks like Joseph as a slave, Joseph as a prisoner, and Joseph in power with the same unshakable character. Faithfulness looks like Ruth out gathering what little food there was, doing what she could do to survive and care for her mother-in-law, when she stumbled into the field of a rich man who would love her. Faithfulness is Mary, a teenage virgin willingly accepting a miraculous pregnancy that would turn her whole world upside down. Faithfulness is Jesus – walking out his calling and purpose all the way to the cross, eyes always on the Father. Faithfulness – you are being called to it. Faithfulness – it’s being produced in your life through a power so much greater than you. You’re growing in faithfulness and it’s changing you. Recognize this change. Without God, we waver. With God, we are faithful. Challenge for Today: “Be Faithful in the Small Things” Choose one area where you can intentionally practice Spirit-produced faithfulness today. Here are a few ideas: Keep every promise you make today—even the small ones. Arrive early for every commitment. Complete a task you’ve been postponing. Spend your planned time with God, even if you don’t “feel” like it. Encourage someone you’ve committed to pray for, and then actually pray for them. Follow through on something without seeking recognition. As you do, pray: “Holy Spirit, make me a faithful person. Form in me a character that reflects the unwavering faithfulness of Jesus. Help me to be trustworthy in the little things, steadfast in difficulty, loyal in relationships, and devoted to You. May my life proclaim Your faithfulness to everyone I meet.” The Holy Spirit delights to produce that kind of steady, enduring faithfulness— one faithful choice at a time.

The All Local Afternoon Update for Friday, July 10th, 2026

Send us Fan MailThe idea for this podcast came from an unexpected place.The other day I was walking into Target when I overheard a woman talking with her husband and son. During their conversation, she said, “Less is more.” A few moments later, she said it again.It caught my attention because those three simple words carry a powerful message. In today's world, we're constantly told to do more, buy more, learn more, and achieve more. Yet many of the happiest, healthiest, and highest-performing people have learned the opposite. Less is often more.It reminded me of a story about former NHL player Dean Kennedy. Dean once told me that his goal wasn't to play 15 or 20 years in professional hockey. He simply wanted to play 10 years in the NHL. That was his focus. He wasn't distracted by everything that might happen after that. He committed to one meaningful goal, worked relentlessly toward it, and achieved it.Sometimes we try to accomplish so much that we end up accomplishing very little. A healthy mindset isn't about adding more to your life. It's about identifying what matters most and giving it your full attention.Here are my Top 10 Reasons Why Less Is More:More focus. When you focus on fewer things, you do them better.Less overwhelm. Too many goals create confusion. Simplicity creates clarity.Better execution. Success comes from consistently applying a few key habits.Higher quality. Doing fewer things well beats doing many things poorly.More consistency. Simple routines are easier to maintain over time.Better decisions. Fewer choices reduce decision fatigue and improve judgment.Greater confidence. Small wins build momentum and strengthen belief in yourself.Less stress. Eliminating unnecessary commitments creates more mental energy.More meaningful progress. Mastery comes from repetition, not constantly chasing the next idea.Lasting success. The highest performers don't try to do everything. They identify what matters most and commit to doing it exceptionally well.Remember, the goal isn't to do more. The goal is to do what matters most.

In this episode, Dr. Kim sits down with Ron Deal to talk about what it really means to build a mindful marriage. Ron shares lessons from his new book, Mindful Marriage, and how restoration therapy helped him and his wife Nan find healing and deeper connection. Together, they explore how faith, self-awareness, and emotional regulation can transform your relationship from the inside out.   Episode Insights: Authenticity is the foundation of lasting happiness. Emotional dysregulation is normal.  Our brains respond to threat, not fairness. Pain cycles drive repeated conflict. Growth and redemption matter more than blame. Quotes from Today's Episode: 'Happy wife, happy life' sounds catchy, but in reality, it's an empty promise. Lasting happiness in marriage comes from authenticity, not performance or pretending everything is okay. Every single one of us gets thrown off-balance emotionally. Some stay there longer, others move through it quickly, but emotional dysregulation is part of the human experience. There's nothing wrong about you because you get dysregulated. The brain can't tell the difference between a rattlesnake, a near-miss in traffic, or your spouse's criticism. Threat is threat. Our brains are wired for survival, not perfect communication. You don't have fifty different fights in marriage. You just have one ongoing pain cycle. Once you identify and understand your pain cycle, you can finally move beyond it together. Ignoring your pain doesn't make it go away—if anything, it makes your pain stronger, more insistent, and harder to escape. It's easy to point out the flaw in someone else, but it's vital to focus on your own growth. You may not forget your pain, but you can redeem what it does in your life. Choosing redemption over resentment is liberating.
