In this episode, I had the privilege of speaking with David, a naturopathic doctor with a thriving local practice and a powerful desire to serve people on a much larger scale. He came to our conversation with a question that so many purpose-driven creators wrestle with: “How do I reach the people I'm meant to serve… especially when I doubt whether I'm charismatic or creative enough to stand out?” What followed was a deeply generative exploration. I invited David to step into a future where his vision was already fulfilled, where he was leading transformational group coaching programs, impacting thousands through his content, and receiving glowing testimonials from clients who had completely changed their lives. Together, we reverse-engineered that dream, uncovering the practical, soulful, and surprisingly simple path that could take him there. In this conversation, we explore: What makes someone resonant vs. merely visible Why charisma is optional, but courage is essential The freedom that comes when your message becomes more important than your ego My own messy beginnings in podcasting (complete with one-star reviews) The power of starting with what you have—even if it's just 13 subscribers How to make peace with “bad content” on the road to transformation Why the people who need your message aren't looking for polish—they're looking for truth If you've been waiting for permission to speak, to create, to be seen… Let this be the moment you stop waiting. You already have everything you need to begin. Ready for your own breakthrough?

Today, Ceri answers a question she is asked every single day - "How do I find a gallery where I fit in, a curator who fits my kind of work, how do I fit in?” This episode is a rallying cry for creatives who are done playing small. It totally blows up the myth that success as an artist means conforming to someone else's vision. KEY TAKEAWAYS Your mission is not to find a gallery owner-shaped hole and contort yourself into it. That's not a strategy. That's shapeshifting into Blandsville. Tune into people who spark ideas in your bones, who make you say "Yes, I want more of that!" Real opportunities arise from authentic connections, not desperate conformity. Your real power comes from finding your creative tribe. Share others' work, love their orbit, connect as whole humans. Don't approach with an agenda, instead do so with genuine passion and curiosity. BEST MOMENTS “Please stop trying to fit in. It's not your job to fit in as an artist, a creative and arts professional. Your job is to find the thing that you love, doing what only you can do, that lives in your marrow, ” “Once you're resonating at the right frequency as yourself, with no edits, your job becomes finding other people who are excited by ideas, theirs and yours.” “You're not designed to slide neatly into someone else's filing system. You're here to chart a course, to be a bit disruptive, to be misunderstood, temporarily, gloriously, unavoidably.” PODCAST HOST BIO With over 35 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events. She sold artworks to major museums and private collectors and commissioned thousands of works across diverse media, from renowned artists such as John Akomfrah, Pipilotti Rist, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer and Vito Acconci. Now, she wants to share her extensive knowledge with you, so you can excel and achieve your goals. **** The Artist Mastermind Circle: Ready to stop second-guessing and start building momentum in your art career?

What if burnout isn't a breakdown—but your path to a breakthrough When we're deep in burnout, it feels like everything is falling apart. But in truth, burnout may be the most honest message your body and soul have ever sent you. In this solo episode, I'm sharing a different way to look at burnout—not as a failure, but as a fierce invitation to realign your life from the inside out. If you've been exhausted, disconnected, or quietly wondering how much longer you can keep going like this… this conversation is for you. Burnout isn't just about stress or being busy. It's about living out of sync with your values, pushing through patterns like people-pleasing, perfectionism, and over-responsibility that eventually leave you empty. But if you're willing to listen to what your burnout is really trying to tell you, you can begin again—with more clarity, more truth, and more freedom than ever before. What we explore: Why burnout is not the enemy—but a wake-up call The deeper root causes of burnout that go beyond stress and overwork How patterns like proving, perfectionism, and people-pleasing keep you stuck in exhaustion The pivotal mindset shift from “How do I fix this?” to “What is my burnout revealing?” Why burnout can be a sacred portal to realignment, authenticity, and sustainable joy This isn't about going back to who you were. It's about becoming who you're meant to be. If you're walking through burnout right now, know this: it's not the end. It's your beginning.

In Marriage Material, we'll be answering this question - what material does scripture have to offer us about marriage? This question is for all of us, because understanding marriage as scripture regards it shapes our attitude and approach to romance altogether. So whether you're single or married, hopeful or doubtful, preparing for a proposal or recovering from heartbreak, in a steady relationship or a sticky situationship – this series is for you.Our ideas about marriage shape our attitudes towards it and expectations around it. And if we would come to understand marriage as scripture regards it, it would reshape our attitudes and approaches to romance altogether. When we understand what marriage is meant for, we understand what our lives are meant for.- Marriage is meant for good- Marriage is not meant for finding self-significance- Marriage is meant to be a symbol

This Sunday Dr. Michael Maiden reminds us that God can turn even our darkest moments into something beautiful. The story of Joseph from Genesis serves as a profound example of how God works all things for good. Despite betrayal, false accusations, and imprisonment, Joseph's unwavering faith and forgiveness led to his ultimate triumph. While people can steal our possessions, they can never take away our God-given destiny. This is our invitation for us to examine our own lives, urging us to forgive those who have wronged us and to keep dreaming, knowing that God's timing is perfect and He can restore what was lost.
Questions are powerful because they bring focus. The questions you ask determine the answers you get. So when God asks us a question, it's not because He doesn't know the answer. It's because He is trying to show us something.In this episode, we look at the questions God asks throughout scripture that were not just for the people He asked, but for all of us. We go into some consistent life lessons that repeat themseleves until you learn them. The lessons and questions in this podcast are useful for difficulty, adversity, purpose, understanding your way, and keeping your focus where it should be. It is a powerful episode packed full of wisdom for navigating your walk with God in your life.Level up your life with IDLife nutrition by clicking here.Level up your greatest asset with us in Mindset Mastery.

In this deeply personal episode, I open up about what it's looked like to step away from striving and surrender to a slower, more sacred pace of life. After years of building a new age business, working as a paralegal, navigating deep grief, and trying to make sense of it all, I've found myself in a wilderness season. And instead of resisting it, I'm learning to receive it.If you're burned out, soul-weary, or unsure of your place in this season—you're not alone. This episode is for the woman who's quietly unraveling, not because she's failed, but because she's being refined.In this episode, I share:What led me to step away from social media and release the pressure to performWhy the wilderness isn't punishment—it's preparationThe harm of spiritual bypassing and the healing that happens when we stop pretendingHow God is present in the quiet places where the world no longer applauds you
In today’s busy, burnout-prone world, joy can feel like a luxury. But here’s a surprising truth: nearly 1 in 3 adults hasn’t shared a meal with someone outside their household in over a month. And yet, science shows that simple connection — like eating together or laughing over a board game — is one of the most powerful ways to restore our emotional well-being.In this episode, you’ll learn why joy is meant to be shared — and how God uses ordinary moments of togetherness to calm your nervous system, lift your mood, and spark healing from the inside out. You’ll discover the soul care science behind connection and the spiritual invitation to let joy back in — not someday, but now. Key Takeaways: The neuroscience of why shared meals reduce stress and increase connection How playing a board game boosts dopamine and builds joy A grace-filled perspective on hospitality that makes it easier to invite others in Why ordinary moments of joy are some of the most sacred A two-part soul care tip to help you glow from the inside out — no perfection needed Breath Prayer: Inhale: they broke bread togetherExhale: with glad and sincere heartsScripture: “They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts.” Acts 2:46 Join NEW Wellness Course: Breathe Joy with Jesus: Creating Happy, Healthy Habits with God's Promises.

As Jacob and all his offspring make the journey to Egypt, his heart is likely filled with questions. God answers those questions in a vision before they even escape his lips. Is God present and working in the place where we are, with the people around us, in every circumstance, in our normal living, after all this time? Genesis 46:1-47:12

Delight Your Marriage | Relationship Advice, Christianity, & Sexual Intimacy
Don't Waste the Great Gift of Influence (Formerly titled: Don't Waste Your Impact) It's easy to underestimate just how much weight your words, actions, and attitudes carry—especially in your marriage. But the truth is, your spouse is the person you impact most in this life. And that impact can either build up or break down. It can draw them closer to Jesus—or push them further away. Whether you're aware of it or not, you are influencing every day. The real question is: how are you using that influence? In today's episode, we're exploring what Scripture and research say about the power of marriage, how your smallest habits shape your legacy, and why taking your influence seriously could be one of the most important decisions you make—not just for your spouse, but for eternity. Why Your Marriage Holds the Greatest Influence in Your Life Research from the Holmes-Rahe Stress Scale confirms it: five of the top ten most stressful life events are marriage-related. Death of a spouse. Divorce. Separation. Reconciliation. Even getting married. All of these events shape us more than we realize—impacting not only our emotions but our physical health. That's why your role in your marriage is far from trivial. It's your greatest mission field. Beyond your spouse, your children are next in line for your influence. Their spiritual formation, character, and even understanding of Jesus may start with how they see you live. Influence Starts with the Smallest Seeds We often think influence must be grand—but it's the consistent, daily seeds that grow lasting fruit. Whether it's trying to put stubborn littles to bed while keeping a joyful attitude (“count it all joy when you face trials”), or sharing a genuine compliment with your spouse that communicates admiration or safety—these small acts build a legacy. The greatest impact comes through simple faithfulness: planting seeds of respect, encouragement, and love, again and again. Want to Be Effective? Influence with Soft Eyes and a Gentle Tone Influence is not control. It's not demanding. And it's certainly not harsh. If your heart is full of conviction, but your tone is sharp, your spouse may never hear your heart. Instead, they'll hear rejection, judgment, and intensity. That shuts hearts down. Instead, remember this: Soft Eyes Gentle Tone Slow Pace No, it's not an acronym yet—but it's a powerful practice. If it matters to you, slow down. Look at them with kindness. Speak with a spirit of gentleness. Because your delivery may determine whether your words are received—or rejected. Faith Isn't Meant to Stay Silent—So Stop Hiding It Somewhere along the way, many of us have absorbed the idea that faith is a purely private matter. But Scripture doesn't support that. Paul talks openly about his prayers, his tears, his awe at God's love. You don't need to boast—but you do need to be real. Share how you follow Jesus. Let your spouse and your kids see that He's not just a Sunday idea. He's your daily King. Character First. Ministry Second. The Bible is clear: if you can't manage your own household, how can you lead in the church? (1 Tim. 3, Titus 1) Your first ministry is your spouse. Your first testimony is how you treat them when no one is watching. Your first assignment is to steward the influence God has entrusted to you—in your tone, your time, and your tenderness. Don't Waste the Great Gift of Influence If you've ever caused your spouse to spend days mulling over a harsh word, you've influenced—for harm. That matters. God has given you the ability to heal and build up—or wound and tear down. We won't be perfect. But we must take our influence seriously. Let your words be seasoned with grace. Let your habits point to Jesus. Let your home be a place where His love is felt—because of you. Because when we stand before God, how we used our influence in marriage will matter. And your spouse's eternity may just be a little brighter because of your faithfulness. Final Thoughts Friend, your influence is real. And it's powerful. You don't have to be perfect to make a lasting impact—you just need to be faithful with the moments in front of you. One seed of kindness. One soft-eyed response. One patient, Spirit-led pause. These small choices shape hearts, build trust, and reflect the love of Jesus. So take heart. God has entrusted you with influence, not by accident, but for a purpose. And as you lean into Him and love your spouse with intention, you are planting seeds that can grow into something beautiful—something eternal.

PPPS - Here is quote from a recent graduate: "There was a fair amount of discouragement, which carried over in my professional life and ministry involvements. I would not have considered leaving my wife, but hopelessness was making me accept the fact that we would continue to become more and more estranged until one or both of us died...[Now,] I KNOW that as intimacy grows between a husband and his wife, both are energized to do the work of the Kingdom, both shine brighter wherever they are. I have begun to feel it and see it happen!...Our communication is so much better: we have not had an argument since the beginning of the program. I am sharing more of myself now – my wife will not die without knowing her husband of all these years!"

BT's three year Jeep restoration project comes down to one final question: will it actually move?

For the month of July, we've been reliving Brian's 3-year Jeep restoration project, as chronicled on his YouTube show Garage Bible Study. With over 30 episodes dedicated to restoring his 1978 Jeep CJ-7, BT draws a straight line from physical work to spiritual principles. Track along with the entire project on YouTube here.

Otis Jiry's Scary Stories Told in the Dark: A Horror Anthology Series
Step through a tear in time and enter a realm where the strange is sacred, the forgotten festers, and reality unravels at the edges. In our latest episode, five haunting tales, unearthed from the 1943 archives of Weird Tales magazine, rise again to whisper secrets not meant for modern ears. Join hosts Otis Jiry and Malcolm Blackwood as they guide you through eerie backroads and hidden chambers of pulp horror's golden age. These are stories filled with shadowed superstitions, obsessions in fine print, whispered debts, impossible beasts, and towns that were never on any map. Some stories were never written for our world… but they've found their way here. And now, they're waiting for you.
