You'll hear:Why praying for discipline can backfire (and what God actually gives you instead)How to make your “why” bigger than your pain so you don't quit when it gets hardThe hidden lies that destroy consistencyThe mindset shift that separates disciplined men from distracted onesReal-life lessons from the SEAL Teams, competition, and ScriptureIf you've ever felt stuck, undisciplined, or like you're one decision away from quitting, this conversation will give you the clarity and fire to keep going.Challenge: Join the free Basic Discipline 30-Day Training – Spirit, Soul & Body by clicking here and start your transformation.Level up your life with IDLife nutrition by clicking here.Get signed up for the FREE Basic Discipline 30 Day Training Program - spirit, soul, and body by clicking hereApply to join Giant Killers here if you're a man that wants real accountability and training to become a leader.Level up your greatest asset (your thinking) with us in Mindset Mastery.

In a race, DNF means "Did Not Finish." You started but didn't make it to the end. In this message, Tiffany Nunnally tells us how to avoid a spiritual DNF—and how to bounce back when we do fail. A spiritual DNF is failing to walk in obedience to God's calling on our lives.2 Timothy 4:7-8: "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith... the prize is not just for me but for all who eagerly look forward to his appearing."Everyone experiences failure—maybe in marriage, or by neglecting spiritual disciplines. But failure isn't a period; it's a comma. It's not the end—just a chapter.Acts 20:24: "My life is worth nothing... unless I use it for finishing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus."Why do we fail?PridePride leaders to injury, and injury leads to failure. Pride causes spiritual injury. It makes us rely on ourselves instead of God. Proverbs 16:18: "Pride goes before destruction; and a haughty spirit before a fall." Pride leads to burnout, burnout to discouragement, and discouragement to quitting.Spiritual burnout happens when we try to earn God's or others' approval, ignoring rest and God's guidance. No one can run on empty. Doing everything often means doing nothing well. Knowledge can be solo, but character requires community. Pace yourself. If you start too fast from pride or competition, you'll burn out.2. LazinessDon't get caught being undertrained and unprepared.  Laziness says, "It's good enough."2 Tim. 4:2: "Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage - with great patience and careful instruction."Failure happens when we make excuses, let busyness rule, or believe we're the exception. Complacency makes us overestimate ourselves. Faith is trust + preparation; complacency is ego + entitlement.3. InsecurityDon't disqualify yourself before starting. God wants you, not your perfection. Fear of failure leads to fear of trying.2 Timothy 1:7: "God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline."Comparison steals joy and distracts. Your identity in Christ fights insecurity.4. Ignorance (Mistakes)We can't succeed without experience—or grace.Ephesians 2:8: "By grace you have been saved through faith. and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God."When we fail:Recover, but plan for re-entry.Rebuild the foundation.Recognize (acknowledge previous errors).Relationships (we repair in community) (James 5:16).Repeat. Fail forward. Even falling moves you forward.Don't disqualify yourself. The only true failure is DNS—Did Not Start.Hebrews 12:1: "Let us run with endurance the race God has set before us."Love failure. Love conviction and repentance—it keeps us dependent on the only one who never fails. The goal isn't perfection, but dependence.How are YOU bouncing back from failure?

Persistent Pests “Catch all the foxes, those little foxes, before they ruin the vineyard of love, for the grapevines are blossoming!” ‭‭Song of Songs‬ ‭2‬:‭15‬ ‭ These little foxes aren't yet fully grown. Nobody would think a cuddly little fox would be dangerous to have around. They love nothing better than to eat the young grapes before they come out fully. Thus, they wreak havoc on the vines of our walk with the Lord.  Let's mention 5 of the “little foxes” or persistent pests that ruin some of our fruitful writing before it's fully ripened… 1.) Sensitiveness or easily offended. It can be a small chip on our shoulder but flare up if we're not given the respect we desire. It can stifle our creativity in writing and dry up the flow of the Spirit. Pray that we can have the mind and humility of Christ. 2.) Laziness. Too lazy to dig into the Word. Too lazy to spend time in prayer. This also leaks into our writing. The Kingdom Writer cannot afford to compromise in these areas if we expect eternal impact. There's a cost to those things and also a great reward.  3.) Living in regret. The most powerful 3 words in history were uttered by Jesus while hanging on the cross, “It is finished!” Regret sucks the life out of us and keeps us from moving forward in all that God has for us.  4.) Distraction. Causes us to go down rabbit trails. Social media is the major distraction of our day. One writer calls it “nuggets of nothingness.” Before we know it, we've wasted 1-2 hours with nothing to show for it.  5.) Busyness. We fill up our days and weeks with good things. But somehow we fail to set aside scheduled writing blocks. Or when we do, it can easily be cancelled and replaced by something else. It's not treated as a priority. The only way to handle these “little foxes” is to kill them. If we don't, our sweetest, most fruitful writing, like vine-ripened grapes, will not materialize.

Today we dive into God's design for work and rest—why doing too much can drain us, why doing too little can burden others, and how the cross of Jesus gives us both the motivation to work and the freedom to rest.

In Part 4 of A Hundred Fold in the Same Year, Bishop Omar shares a convicting message titled Hindrances of Sowing with a focus on laziness. Drawing wisdom from Proverbs, he revealed how slothfulness stifles growth and blocks blessings. Laziness is more than inactivity—it's an unwillingness to use the energy God has given us. Bishop reminded us that even Jesus told us to consider the ant and look at its ways. This message challenges us to step up, work with excellence, and represent Christ in all we do.

We talk about laziness like it's a personality trait—but what if it's just a lack of structure? In this episode, Cole Nixon breaks down how discipline isn't about being perfect—it's about showing up when it's hard, building trust with yourself, and creating momentum that lasts. From the grind of entrepreneurship to the chaos of community events, Cole shares how discipline has kept him moving when motivation ran dry.If you've ever felt stuck, scattered, or like you're falling short of your potential, this one's for you. It's not about hustle—it's about consistency. And it might just be the mindset shift you didn't know you needed.

Laziness leads to complacency. As Christians, we must be intentional about maintaining an active, driven lifestyle of serving the Lord with gladness.

Work is something every one of us knows well. From the time we are young, we are given chores, responsibilities, and tasks. As we grow older, the responsibilities increase with jobs, families, and the daily duties of life. Yet how we approach our work reveals much about our hearts. Are we diligent, faithful, and responsible? Or do we look for shortcuts, doing the bare minimum, hoping someone else will carry the load? The old saying captures it well: Are you working hard, or hardly working?In 2 Thessalonians 3:6-18, Paul addresses this very issue within the church. Some believers had become idle. They were not working to support themselves, but instead were depending on others. Paul calls such behavior disorderly and reminds the church that when he was among them, he worked hard with his own hands, setting an example. His command is clear: “If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat.”But Paul's concern goes deeper than physical labour. Work is part of our Christian witness. Laziness dishonours Christ and places an unfair burden on others, while diligence shows integrity, responsibility, and love. Work is not a punishment but part of God's good design for humanity, given from the very beginning in the Garden of Eden. This passage challenges us to see our work, whether at home, at school, or in our jobs, as service to Christ. It calls us to reject idleness and embrace diligence, so that in all we do, we glorify God.Series: Encouragement for Pilgrims on the WayScripture: 2 Thessalonians 3:6-18Speaker: Pastor David Hallett

Our parsha begins with the unusual law of the marriage of a Jewish warrior and an enemy captive woman. When a Jewish warrior spots a prisoner of war that he desires to marry, there is a process and a protocol for how he may marry her. The Talmud (also featured by Rashi) offers a very unusual classification of why the Torah permits this union. On its surface, this reason compounds the difficulties of this law. In this very special edition of the Parsha podcast, we share a novel and instructive approach to this very unusual law.– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –DONATE: Please consider supporting the podcasts by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at https://www.torchweb.org/support.php.

Steve sits down with John Tamny, Political Economy editor at Forbes, senior economic adviser to Toreador Research & Trading, and editor of RealClearMarkets.com, to tackle some of the biggest myths in economics and public policy. They'll discuss why the so-called “end of laziness” will run roughshod over income guarantees, exposing how entitlement schemes can't withstand real-world economics. Plus, Tamny introduces his brand-new book, Deficit Delusion: Why Everything Left, Right, and Supply-Side Tells You About the National Debt Is Wrong, where he flips the conventional wisdom on debt and deficits upside down. This is a conversation about hard truths, false promises, and the future of America's economic freedom.

IntroGood morning! My name is Ken, and I serve as one of the elders here. I haven't delivered a sermon in nine years, but I've been serving in ministry the whole time—from pastoring to managing a condo complex. I've wondered if my work was spiritually significant, a feeling many of us share. Today, we'll explore the big idea that God desires to be glorified in our work, no matter where we are.Scripture ReferencesProverbs 8:22, Proverbs 3:19-20, Genesis 1:28, Genesis 2:15, Genesis 3:17-19, Proverbs 26:13, Proverbs 6:6-11, Colossians 3:23, Romans 12:11, Ephesians 4:28, Proverbs 22:29, Proverbs 18:9, Proverbs 16:3, Ephesians 2:8-9Key PointsWork is Divine and Human:God is a worker. Creation is the result of His masterful, intelligent design (Prov 3:19-20). He works wisely, and so should we.Humans are made to work. God put man in the Garden "to tend and keep it" (Gen 2:15). He infused in us a yearning to explore, create, and develop. We find purpose and provision through labor.The Fall and the Two Dangers:Sin cursed the ground, making work toilsome (Gen 3:17-19). This led to two extremes: laziness and workaholism.Laziness makes excuses ("There's a lion in the road!" Prov 26:13).Workaholism makes work an idol and our identity. We trade our souls for success, but our true identity is as God's child, regardless of our job title.Four Characteristics of Working Wisely:Work by Faith: Do everything "as unto the Lord," your unseen supervisor (Col 3:23).Work Diligently: Like the ant, don't be a sluggard (Prov 6:6). God has provided what you need, so go get it. Everyone must participate.Work for the Colony: Ants have two stomachs: one for themselves, and a second to bring food back for the colony. Work not only to nourish yourself but also to have something "to give to him who has need" (Eph 4:28).Work with Excellence: Do your work well, not just heartily (Prov 22:29). Whether you're a CEO or a burger flipper, strive for excellence because you are working for God, not men.The Pulpit of Your Work:My own experience as a pastor-turned-drywall-worker taught me this: "That job is your pulpit." We can minister in whatever "garden" God has placed us in. When we commit our work to the Lord, our thoughts and purpose become established.Joseph is a model for working diligently and with excellence, even in the worst circumstances. God vindicated him and promoted him from prison to the palace because he stayed faithful.ConclusionWhat if reaching the world was as simple as going to work? We can glorify God in our everyday jobs and minister to those around us. This is a sacred calling.Calls to ActionCommit your work to the Lord: Today, pray and put your job in His hands. Ask Him to change your thoughts and perspective.Do a self-check: Where is your identity? In your title or in Christ?Receive the Gift of Grace: We cannot earn salvation through our work; it is a gift from God. Come to the communion table and receive the gift Jesus has prepared.

When it comes to our finances, we often wonder: Where does God's provision end and our responsibility begin? Should we simply wait and trust Him—or get to work and provide for ourselves?The truth is, it's not either-or. God calls us to both trust Him and participate in His provision. Not because He needs our help, but because He delights in working through us.Avoiding Two ExtremesYou've likely heard the phrase, “Let go and let God.” While it sounds spiritual, it can sometimes lead to passivity. On the other end of the spectrum, some of us live as if everything depends on us—hustling, stressing, and striving in our own strength.Scripture offers a better way: a life of faith that doesn't ignore work, and a life of work that doesn't ignore faith. God invites us into a partnership—trusting His sovereignty while faithfully engaging in our responsibilities.Paul writes in 2 Timothy 2:6, “It is the hard-working farmer who ought to have the first share of the crops.” The farmer can't make the rain fall or the seeds grow, yet he tills, plants, and harvests. He works diligently while depending entirely on God for the increase.In the same way, we can't control the economy or prevent every financial emergency—but we can make wise choices. By living below our means, avoiding debt, and giving generously, we acknowledge God as our Provider while faithfully stewarding what He entrusts to us.God Provides—We ParticipatePsalm 104:14 reminds us, “You cause the grass to grow for the livestock and plants for man to cultivate.” God causes the growth, yet invites us to cultivate it. His provision is not a one-sided transaction—it's a relationship.We see this throughout Scripture. When Jesus fed the 5,000, He didn't create food out of thin air. Instead, He multiplied a boy's simple lunch. God chooses to involve us, not because He lacks resources, but because He delights in using us to bless others.God's Word makes it clear that provision and work go hand in hand.Ephesians 4:28 urges, “Let the thief no longer steal, but rather let him labor… so that he may have something to share with anyone in need.”1 Thessalonians 4:11–12 calls us to “work with your hands… so that you may walk properly before outsiders and be dependent on no one.”Laziness is never encouraged, but neither is frantic self-reliance. Instead, Scripture calls us to wise diligence rooted in God's faithfulness.Stewardship means recognizing that everything belongs to God. We are not owners but managers, entrusted with His resources to reflect His character.And His provision is never just for us. Paul writes in 2 Corinthians 9:10–11, “He who supplies seed to the sower… will supply and multiply your seed for sowing… You will be enriched in every way to be generous in every way.”God enriches us so that generosity might overflow through us—producing thanksgiving to Him.Living in the Beautiful In-BetweenSo how do we balance trust in God's provision with active participation?Pray before you plan—inviting God into your financial goals.Work with diligence, not fear—resting in His faithfulness, not your performance.Give generously—not because God needs your money, but because He invites you to reflect His heart.Rest confidently—knowing God is at work even when you sleep.At the end of the day, God delights in using ordinary people with ordinary means to display His extraordinary grace. He is the Provider, and we have the privilege of being His participants.Provision, then, is not just about a paycheck—it's about a partnership. Let's stop asking whether it's “all up to us” or “all up to God” and embrace the beautiful in-between: trusting Him, working faithfully, and joining Him in the joy of provision.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:My wife and I inherited a house from a family member in another state. We'd like to keep it available for friends, family, or church members to use, rather than renting it out. What do you think about that approach?My wife and I are in our early 80s. Years ago, we used our Roth IRAs to pay off our home, allowing us to live debt-free in retirement. We use our IRA for charitable giving, but with the rising cost of living, I'm wondering if a reverse mortgage could be a smart tool. What's your advice?If I already have a living will, will my assets still need to go through the probate process?I've had a long-term care policy since 2018 with $400,000 in coverage, but I was told there's a six-month waiting period before it pays out. That seems long to me. Should I consider canceling the policy?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Wisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

In this podcast, Jeff talks about his trip to Italy and love of Italians — and notes the many similarities between Italians and Jews and one glaring difference. Italy was great but the constant content making of young people in Capri annoyed him. Only this dopey, lazy mentality could drive the success of Zorhan Mamdani, a Socialist Hamas supporter, in the NYC mayoral race.

In this weeks episode I am talking about how moving your body is the most basic form of freedom. It's a practice of gratefulness for the gifts and abilities we have been given. Laziness is taking these abilities for granted... its a slap in the face in my opinion...IG - micah_foreverfitBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/coach-micah-s-fit-project-podcast--5741147/support.

In today's Morning Manna, we explore the stark contrast Solomon draws between the diligent and the lazy. Proverbs 10:4–5 reveals that our daily choices carry consequences—not just materially, but spiritually. Laziness brings shame, while diligence brings promotion and purpose.

Over and over, the book of Proverbs warns us about the dangers of laziness. Today, we are going to to talk about three facts of laziness: they are thieves, selfish, and neglectful of their duty. A lazy person will never become the person God has called them to be. www.sitstillmydaughter.com

In this episode, Pastor David Maestas explores the deep spiritual meaning of rest in Hebrews 4. This isn't about naps or vacations—it's about the soul-level rest that comes from trusting fully in the finished work of Christ. The author of Hebrews warns that many will miss this rest, not because they weren't invited, but because they responded with unbelief and disobedience. True rest requires faith and surrender, not striving. Pastor David also highlights the power of God's Word, described as living, active, and sharper than any sword. Nothing is hidden from God, and it's His truth that exposes what's really in our hearts. The invitation is clear: stop running, stop performing, and step into the rest only Jesus can give—a rest that both comforts and convicts.

But this isn't just a call to grind harder.

In this honest and eye-opening episode, Lindsey Maestas dives deep into the impact of ADHD on relationships and friendships. With vulnerability, faith, and research-backed insight, she explores why many people with ADHD subconsciously seek out chaos, conflict, toxic relationships, or emotionally unavailable partners. It isn't out of desire, but as a way of seeking out neurological stimulation. Lindsey discusses how ADHD can intensely heighten feelings of rejection, create a cycle of emotional highs and lows in relationships, often leading to toxic dynamics, chronic arguing, and feelings of inadequacy or isolation. She unpacks the difference between laziness and ADHD Paralysis, explaining the brain science behind task initiation struggles and why shame is often misdirected.  Whether you've been diagnosed with ADHD, have a partner or friend who struggles with it, or simply relate to the patterns of emotional burnout, impulsive decisions, or feeling like you're “too much” in relationships, this episode is a lifeline. Lindsey encourages self-compassion and offers tangible insight to help you understand your brain, regulate your emotions, and build healthier, more stable connections without sacrificing your joy.  Don't forget to give a quick rating and review on Spotify or the Podcasts app (pretty please!)
