Patrick Morley, the author of The Four Voices, discusses how you can build your sense of self-worth, improve relationships, and grow by mastering your thoughts.The Four VoicesYou have four distinct voices competing for attention over your life. There's the voice of the world, the flesh, the devil, and the Holy Spirit. So how do you discern among the four to let the Holy Spirit lead you in a life worth living?Man in the Mirror Founder Patrick Morley has some answers. He says that the key is to learn to recognize the voice of the Holy Spirit and follow His leading. "The voice of the Spirit is always character building, edifying, encouraging, and motivating," Morley says. "It will never lead you into sin or compromise."So if you're wondering which voice to listen to, ask yourself: does this choice build my character, edify others, encourage me, or motivate me to do good? If the answer is yes, then it's probably the voice of the Holy Spirit. Follow His leading and you'll be on the path to a life worth living.We've talked about self-talk on Beyond the Rut, but never like this.

As a Christian, I am called to live my life by faith – but what does living by faith really mean? W. Scott Greene from The Llama Lounge Podcast joins us for a discussion on that topic.Living by Faith"Without faith, it is impossible to please God." This verse from Hebrews 11:6 has always been a driving force in my life. As a Christian, I am called to live my life by faith – but what does that really mean? And why is living by faith so important? In this episode, we'll explore what it means to live by faith and why Christian men should aspire to do so. We'll look at how living by faith can impact our career decisions, our relationships, and our role as fathers.So what does it mean to live by faith? Hebrews 11:1 tells us that faith is "being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see." In other words, faith is trusting in God even when we can't see the outcome. It's about having confidence in God's character and His promises, even when life doesn't make sense.Living by faith requires us to step out in obedience, even when we don't know what the future holds. It's about living in a way that pleases God, even when it doesn't please us. And it's about trusting God, even when we don't understand His plan.So why is living by faith so important? Here are three reasons Christian men should aspire to live their lives by faith.First, living by faith is important because it allows us to please God. As we saw in Hebrews 11:6, without faith it is impossible to please God. Second, living by faith is important because it helps us impact this generation for good. In 2 Corinthians 5:20, we are told that we are "ambassadors for Christ." Finally, living by faith is important because it sets us up for success in the next generation. In Deuteronomy 6:6-7, we are told to "carefully observe all these commands I am giving you today, so that you may obey them...response with all your heart and soul." So Christian men, let us aspire to live by faith. Let us please God with our lives, impact this generation for good, and set up the next generation for success. As we do, we will experience the blessings of God and find true satisfaction in Him.In This EpisodeLiving by the Five F's: Faith, Family, Fitness, Finances, and Future PossibilityGrowing up in a Christian homeServant leadershipServant leadership applied to marriageServant leadership applied to fatherhoodExamples of living by faith in terms of guiding principles for lifeW.

One thing I think we often forget about leadership is that it's not a solo mission. Leaders build leaders; full stop. I've had a lot of fun with this podcast and gotten to know and chat with a lot of interesting & influential people. But this week's conversation was a much-needed reminder that leadership is a communal AND active endeavor. My guests this week are both co-hosts of the amazing podcast, The Llama Lounge. Consisting of a cohort of current and retired U.S. Air Force service members, Joe Bogdan (a former solo guest) and Nina Choy are part of a larger group of leaders whose goal is to transfer their skills to those who are following in this footsteps. Our conversation revolves around the three core tenants of Servant Leadership: Resiliency, Emotionally Intelligence, and Team Engagement. There's plenty of twists and turns, but that's what makes this one of my favorite episode we've done thus far. No matter what field you're in, there is solid advice for every aspiring or current leader. Enjoy the show!

It's part of his own efforts to kick at the darkness.Rodney decided to create Bleeding Daylight as a way to use the media skills he built over many years."One of the questions I'm asked most often is if I miss working in radio. While I still love the medium, the main thing I miss is the opportunity to help uncover interesting stories through on-air interviews or conversations.Over many years I've interviewed hundreds of musicians, authors, politicians, comedians, actors, sporting identities, and others. I'm always captivated by the stories behind the people. I love discovering what drives a person and how they're kicking the darkness they encounter to allow the daylight to bleed into their everyday lives."In the past, Rodney has also been a consultant and writer on two television programs, screened on the Seven and Ten Networks in Australia.Rodney is married to Pauline and they have two adult children, Emily and James.

We may not be reaching the life we dream of living because we do not believe it can really happen. Create confidence with these mindset shifts to build that life.Create ConfidenceThere was a time when we were eager and enthusiastic that the world was our oyster. Over time, many factors chip away at our belief that anything is possible with enough determination and effort. Things like failure, broken relationships, being bullied, the stresses of work and life, and the comparison game all chip away at our self-esteem making us feel as if we are not worthy.Gloria Guadron helps women build confidence in both their professional and personal lives.

Growing up in the desert, you get used to wild swings in temperature. But if you've kept up with the Texas forecast recently, then you'll know what I mean when I say things don't even make sense anymore. Or as one solid meme I saw simply put it: Go Home Weather - You're Drunk.But if there's a silver-lining, it's that I'm reminded of the little things - I have a roof over my head, warm food on the table, and when it really comes down to it, I'm blessed to be as comfortable as I am in the times we live in. This week's episode, however, is all about getting comfortable being uncomfortable.My guest this week is CMSgt Joe Bogdan, Chief Enlisted Manager for almost 600 military and civilian engineers at Osan Air Base in the Republic of Korea. Joe has earned degrees in Social Sciences and Homeland Security during his time in the Air Force. Then, in 2017, he earned a Master's Degree in Organizational Leadership from Brandman University and currently as an adjunct professor at both his alma mater and The University of Massachusetts. And if all of this wasn't enough, Joe is a Co-Founder of Llama Leadership, a consulting, educational, and mentoring service which also produces the fantastic podcast, The Llama Lounge. Joe and I discuss the necessity of failure, why 'doing what you love' doesn't mean you won't have hard days, and the importance of emotional intelligence in a chaotic world. Enjoy the show!
