[1:07:55] Bloodlines Tainted by Royalty and OathsMarjorie ties a listener's congenital defects to royal bloodlines or Freemasonry, marked by bloodshed and oaths.She describes Freemasons' horrific oaths (e.g., “let my eyes be plucked out”), giving demons permission to afflict.Healing involves confessing iniquities and pleading that Jesus' blood cleanses DNA.Reagan and Marjorie affirm how covenant prayer's power, especially with a spouse, amplifies authority against curses. [1:17:44] Healing Kids and Building CommunityMarjorie advises asking Jesus to reveal kids' lies (e.g., fear from in utero trauma), clearing them as their representative.She shares a hyperactive child's healing from incubator trauma, proving the method's efficacy when specific.Speaking God's Word aloud rewires DNA, a tool seen in seniors reciting hymns, offering hope for deep restoration.[1:24:59] Prayer and a Call to PersevereMarjorie prays for revelation to free listeners from lies, urging them to bring curses to God's throne.Co-laboring with Christ promises healing, a partnership Marjorie urges with boldness and faith in His justice.The episode reinforces the idea of perseverance, tying back to Reagan's crash survival as a testament to God's protection.About MajorieMarjorie Cole is a dedicated servant of God, committed to guiding others through the complexities of faith and spiritual growth.

Guest: Michael Perron, Minister of Life Recovery at Prestonwood Baptist Church Sit down with a piece of paper and write out: What is success? How do you answer that question? Guys, at some point in life, you might make a decision that runs counter to the opinion of your father - which is an important step of growing up - to learn to pursue the acceptance of God as opposed to the acceptance of any man. If your definition of success deals with anything “extrinsic,” you're going to be frustrated. Success needs to be something that is intrinsic, internal - your character, integrity - having that peace of mind that you've made good decisions and can sleep well at night! Guys, are you satisfied with life? Are you “worthy” of being satisfied? Are you living today trapped in the past failures of your life? Great resource: The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment by Jeremiah Burroughs Guys, do you ever consider the decisions that you're making will impact future generations? A good name is better than great riches. Proverbs 22:1 What “name” was left for you and what name will you leave for your posterity? As your children see you being obedient to what the Lord has for you, it will mark your children!

There's been a steady climb in addictions since the start of the pandemic in 2020, according to Recovery Coach and Best-Selling Author David Essel, who said studies show alcohol consumption has risen 1,000 percent over the past three years. While alcoholism tops the list of addictions, porn and sex addictions are a close second, said Essel, who through his coaching program offers permanent solutions to all types of addiction. "Video game addiction is out of control," he says, noting a direct link between video games and social media to attention deficit among younger generations. In this conversation with host Gail Ferguson Jones, Essel says that all addictions offer escape and distraction from reality and every day concerns. Families and loved ones should understand that "addiction removes logic."

I'm here with David Essel, M.S., O.M. He's a 13-time number one best-selling author. David is also a counselor, executive coach, international speaker, and a radio, TV, and podcast host. It's his mission to positively affect 2 million people or more every single day. His latest book, Permanent Alcohol & Life Recovery!: A New Approach to Go Beyond “The Steps” to Peace, Health, and Joy for Busy Executives, and YOU! is so advanced and unique that people who never thought they would be free from addiction are now free. His work of 43 years is also highly endorsed by the late Wayne Dyer, Mark Victor Hansen, and many other celebrities around the world. David shares his journey through addiction and recovery and how it began in childhood with an inability to cope with life. We also talk about the shift in mental health treatment that is helping men deal with their trauma and coping skills. We talk about trauma, emotional regulation, the influence of the subconscious mind, language and more. [06:04] David has a master's degree in sports psychology and counseling. He started out working with athletes. In 1990, he went through a mental health crisis and began understanding the root of all of his addictions. [07:15] He began drinking at 12, because he was a very angry and emotionally unregulated child. [08:48] In 1990, he discovered the origin of his addiction was a result of an inability to deal with life. [10:35] More men are seeking treatment, and it's great because men need to come to the forefront and find other men to identify with. [10:57] Unhealed anger, rage, and sadness are some of the biggest causes of depression. We need to find The Logical origin to understand what to heal. [13:38] Trauma comes in many levels. A low trauma over many years can turn into a high trauma. [15:08] Anxiety is another word for trauma. [16:22] Men's emotions used to always be suppressed. Things have changed for the better. Now men can be vulnerable and have intimacy, not just sex. [18:40] Spend some time alone without any background media and get to know yourself. It's okay to feel insecure or frustrated and learn how to regulate your emotions. [21:19] In the world of recovery, we're all trying to become more emotionally regulated. [24:10] Tim's new meditation routine is 15 minutes of quiet in the morning and evening. [25:04] David believes that everyone should begin with guided meditation. [26:29] David talks about transcendental meditation, supplements for people in recovery, and aromatherapy. [27:43] Tim gets to the bottom of why David claims to be an expert when it comes to addiction and recovery. [37:06] Tim and David discuss the true cause of any and all addictions. It's the inability to deal with life. [40:29] David talks about why the current model for addiction and recovery has such a high failure rate. A lot of them are based on the 12-step program with a 90% failure rate. Modern information on recovery has evolved recently. [42:18] It's okay for organizations to update. Sponsors could use more training. [47:00] David talks about not saying things that logically don't make sense.

Guest: Nick Bellamy Shout out to Dustin Donley at Legacy Clothiers for helping make Nick look good! If you'd like for Dustin to help you dress your best, reach out to him and set up an appointment at 214-729-0670 or via email at ddonley@legacyclothiers.com Nick shares his incredible journey that includes ten plus years spent filling the void in his life with drugs and alcohol - using a substance to deal with the “black cloud of depression” because he had never been taught anything differently! Nick says that our faith is a “two-sided coin” that includes serving and giving, not just receiving God's grace and mercy. Great reminder that we are blessed to be a blessing! If you're looking to get help with an addiction or struggle, Nick would highly recommend checking out the Life Recovery program at Prestonwood Baptist Church - or a Celebrate Recovery or Re/Gen (regeneration) program at a Bible teaching church in your area. When you confess your sins to God, you're forgiven. When you confess your sins to a human, you get freedom. Guys, you need to have a community of friends around you who will hold you accountable to make decisions that are in your best interests - a friend is the person who speaks the most truth into your life. Men, the measure of success is the amount you're investing in others! Invest yourself in the life of at least one other person this week. T4M guys - just a reminder that Training4Manhood is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) ministry and you can make donations either via Zelle (info@training4manhood.com) or by visiting the Training4Manhood website.

In the fast paced, go get it mentality, and hustle oriented society and culture that we found ourselves in, how would you define success? Is it about the fame, the fortune, or the followership? This world does a really good job of constantly preaching discontentment, but what our Built Different Guest today offers us is a message of hope to remind you of what it takes to just be still and know that we serve the One, True, and Living God. Our guest today is Michael Perron. Michael serves as the Minister of Life Recovery at Prestonwood Baptist Church in Plano, Texas. He describes this position as one that exists to help individuals recover the life that God has always intended for them. In this episode, Michael shares his incredibly moving testimony which reminds us of Mark 8:36 which says, “What does it profit a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit His soul?” At a point in time in his life, Michael had everything - the looks, the money, the ladies, and more - but he was the emptiest he's ever been! Ironically, the Lord used the height of his fitness modeling career as his rock bottom moment where he ran cliniging to Christ where he finally found the joy, satisfaction, and fulfillment he's always desired. He leaves us with this thought - Are you living a life of success or are you living a life of significance?
