It's easy to be cynical. Our feeds are constantly filled with enough to choke a grown horse. So how do we combat those voices that constantly call us to be negative, distrusting, and just plain...unfaithful? This week, Hannah Sheppard dives in to the story of Abraham and Sarah and shows us how God wants to use our story to change the world. But first, we have to allow Him to change us.

Together, we'll move through a series of prompts designed to shift your attention away from negativity and toward the things that are already beautiful, meaningful, and worth celebrating. This is an episode to listen to while walking, driving, journaling, or anytime you need a gentle reset and a reminder of what is already good in your life.

The fruits of the spirit are the direct results of God’s presence in our lives. It’s the natural byproduct produced from within us when God’s Holy Spirit lives in us. Today we study the 3rd evidence that grows like fruit on a tree. Galatians 5:23, “But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, PEACE …” Peace. In Greek, Jesus would have often used the word ‘shalom’. It means completeness, wholeness, everything being as God intended it to be – nothing missing and nothing broken. So when Paul says the Holy Spirit grows peace, he’s not talking about someone who simply doesn’t get upset. He’s talking about a soul that has been made WHOLE by God. This is not a guarantee of an easy life. This is not peace that comes through an absence of trouble. Oh no, Sis. This is a peace that remains regardless of the trouble. This is a divine calm in the storm and a guard for our heart in the heat of the battle. The world says, “I’ll have peace when…” When the bills are paid. When the diagnosis changes. When my kids finally straighten up. When the relationship gets better. When life slows down. But the Holy Spirit says, “You can have peace now.” Not because everything around you is settled, but because the One within you is settled. Before facing the cross, Jesus tells his disciples that he is about to die and would no longer walk with them, but God would give them another Advocate who would never leave them. He is the Holy Spirit. God’s presence to live within them, teach them and guide them. Further describing this divine internal presence that’s so hard to understand, Jesus says in John 14:27, “I’m leaving you with a gift – peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid. There’s absolutely nothing you can do to produce this peace for yourself. There’s no meditation or deep breathing that brings this peace. There’s no soundtrack for this, no magical place on a mountaintop or hidden away in the woods. No, this peace isn’t found in the world or in yourself. It is ONLY through the presence of the Holy Spirit. You don’t have to work for it, you simply have to abide in Christ and this unspeakable peace grows. Peace isn’t pretending everything is okay. It’s knowing that even when everything isn’t okay, God still is. As I mentioned last week, while at our Lake Retreat, one of our really special BIG Life girls received the phone call that her husband had died. While her whole world is absolutely shattered and she has walked through this unimaginable and unexpected loss for the past week, something remarkable has happened. She has literally felt God strengthening her. When she can’t catch her breath, she says she can feel God breathing into her. In this time where nothing makes sense, not even the time of day, there is a settled peace living inside of her. My friends, that is the Holy Spirit. Have you ever experienced that level of peace? Peace that Philippians 4:7 says, “exceeds anything we can understand. Peace that will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.” It’s a settled knowing from within when everything else is spinning out of control. It’s an anchor for your soul that holds you steady when the waves come crashing against you. But this peace isn’t reserved for times of trouble. This peace can be your constant. On the bad days and the good days. In the highs just as much as in the lows. You know when you need the peace of the Holy Spirit? … in the battle and in victory. In the storm and in the blissful sunshine. The truth is, without God’s peace, you can be sitting in the most beautiful day of life and be radically upset. Without God’s peace you can miss the goodness of the moment and be all stirred up about things that aren’t even a real threat. Are you in a reasonably good season of life right now? Did you wake up today without crisis or deep grief? Pause for a moment and think about that. You’re okay today. Your people okay are today. Let your mind settle in peace. You don’t have to manufacture the next thing to worry about. You don’t have to busy yourself. You can sit here in this peace and let it wash over you. PEACE CAN BE YOUR CONSTANT. When the Holy Spirit is living inside of you, this level of peace naturally grows in your life. You wake up with this peace. You walk in this peace. You are held steady in this peace. You move forward in this peace. You rest in this peace. And you know what else you do – YOU BRING PEACE TO EVERY TABLE YOU SET AT. Girl, that’s what your family needs! That’s what your office needs. That’s what your neighborhood needs. They don’t need you to be the one with all the answers and solutions. They don’t need you to be the one that takes charge and creates radical change. Actually what they need is for you to bring the gift Jesus brought to his disciples on the night before the cross. THE GIFT OF PEACE. Think about that – how can you offer the gift of peace today? It is a gift you can give because it’s growing in your life. Have you ever seen an apple tree straining and groaning trying to push out apples? No. It simply stays rooted. The fruit is evidence of the life inside it. That’s our job too. Stay rooted in Jesus. The Holy Spirit grows the fruit. If I’m an apple tree growing apples, I can easily offer you an apple. I can’t offer you a ribeye steak because that’s not what’s growing on my limbs. But as an apple tree, I can always give you an apple. And it’s really that simple. As God’s girl with the very presence of God within, you’re growing peace on your limbs. Peace during the good and peace during the bad. Peace in the storm and peace in the calm. You can always offer peace. It’s not your calling to bring the freak-out. Freak-out doesn’t grow in the life of a girl carrying around the Holy Spirit. It’s not your calling to bring the negativity. Negativity doesn’t grow in the life of a girl carrying around the Holy Spirit. It’s not your calling to bring the drama. Drama doesn’t grow in the life of a girl carrying around the Holy Spirit. It’s not your calling to spread fear. Fear doesn’t grow in the life of a girl carrying around the Holy Spirit. Your calling is to bring the peace. PEACE GROWS IN THE LIFE OF A GIRL CARRYING AROUND THE HOLY SPIRIT! Peace in your home. Peace in your office. Peace in your neighborhood. Peace in your car. Peace everywhere you go. Don’t be a thermometer that only reflects the temperature of the room. Be a thermostat that changes it. When everyone else is anxious, you stay steady. When everyone else is panicking, you stay prayerful. When everyone else is arguing, you stay peaceful. Why? Because you’re carrying the Holy Spirit. Every room you walk into has an atmosphere. Some rooms feel tense. Some feel fearful. Some feel angry. Some feel rushed. But because the Prince of Peace lives in you, every room you enter has the opportunity to become more peaceful simply because you showed up. Show up today and bring PEACE WITH YOU AS YOUR PLUS ONE! Hey girl, it’s me, plus PEACE today! I interrupt your chaos with God’s peace. I interrupt your stress with God’s peace. I interrupt your worry with God’s peace. Don’t confuse peace with being passive. Jesus had perfect peace—and He still walked straight toward the cross. Peace doesn’t make you weak. Peace makes you unshakable. Imagine what would happen if every daughter of God decided today: “Wherever I go, peace goes.” Into my marriage… peace goes. Into my parenting… peace goes. Into my workplace… peace goes. Into the waiting room… peace goes. Into the hard conversation… peace goes. Into the celebration… peace goes. Why? Because I carry the Holy Spirit. I don’t have to manufacture peace. I don’t have to chase peace. I don’t have to wait for peace. I carry Peace Himself. And wherever the Spirit of God lives, the fruit of peace grows. You are a soul who has been made whole by God, so you have PEACE. SHALOM. With God, everything is as it should be.

Part two with Yvonne Tchrakian is all about the business side — building something of your own while raising a family, staying true to yourself online, and tuning out the noise.Yvonne shares where her confidence comes from (her Irish parents' work ethic, a childhood in sport, being told big things were possible), why she's resisted "automate everything" advice in favour of keeping community and accountability at the heart of her 21-day manifestation challenge, and how she handles online negativity while staying authentic rather than playing the comparison game.Her journey — from law firms to a high-level in-house role, to creating gratitude and manifestation products after losing her baby, to going full-time in business after redundancy — is proof that purpose can come from the hardest places.We close on consistency over perfection, spending money early in business, and why sleep matters more than hustle.Catch part one first if you haven't already — this one builds on it.Timestamps: 00:00 Welcome and guest intro 01:44 Early years and work ethic 04:32 Sport discipline and big dreams 07:20 Authenticity over business blueprints 10:08 Community vs digital products 12:38 Handling social media hate 18:19 Boundaries and staying authentic 23:23 Not for everyone mindset 28:08 Building a positive online community 29:15 No shade content and competition 31:05 Compete With Yourself 31:44 Stop Spending Early 32:36 Real Beats Perfect 35:43 Consistency Over Perfection 36:41 Slow Social Growth 38:36 Lawyer To Manifesting 41:03 Gratitude Through Grief 42:56 Redundancy And Pivot 48:50 Mom Guilt And Freedom 56:16 Sleep Over Hustle 59:37 January Challenge WrapLinks & Resources: Instagram - Yvonne Tchrakian here Apply for LeadHer business mentorship here Apply for NourisHer health & fitness coaching here Subscribe to my weekly coaching newsletter here Access my FREE calorie calculator here Connect with me on Instagram here Connect with me on Facebook here Connect with me on TikTok here Connect with me on YouTube hereIf you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with friends who might benefit.Music b LiQWYD Free download: hypeddit.com/link/xxtopb [http://hypeddit.com/link/xxtopb] Promoted by FreeMusicPromo [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbycji-eySnM3WD8mbxPUSQ] / @freemusicpromo

Branden Hudson hosts a solo Champ Talk episode urging viewers to like, subscribe, and leave reviews, then discusses how widespread uncertainty—politics, wars, affordability, debt, and nonstop news and social media—drives inaction and negativity. He argues people should stay aware but stop obsessing over problems outside their control, focus on showing up for family and work, and take accountability as an action that reduces uncertainty. Branden shares his shift in political views, his past in the streets, incarceration, rebuilding through daily planning in jail, and how hard work, resilience, and a “puncher's chance” mindset can produce long-term payoff despite setbacks. He criticizes engagement with online drama over positive messages, reflects on how COVID pulled him into inaction, warns about phone addiction's impact on youth, and calls for more real leaders who build up communities and the next generation.00:00 Welcome and Subscribe00:40 Why Uncertainty Freezes Us02:42 Information Overload Trap05:05 From Blame to Ownership09:14 Hard Work Still Wins11:18 Punchers Chance Mindset14:57 My Turning Point Story17:01 Jail Cell Blueprint20:03 Focus on Your Home21:26 Negativity and Local Drama21:57 Haters and Purpose22:47 Accountability Kills Doubt23:31 Rewrite Your Story24:33 Criticism and Real Decisions26:46 Lead Without Politics28:16 Fighters Chance Mindset29:09 Addicted to Negativity33:36 COVID and Losing Focus35:10 Doomsday Cycles and Control36:47 Build the Next Generation39:04 Haves Have Nots Ahead40:09 Get to Work Closing

Whiners, Complainers, Pessimists, People who are always negative…How to Deal with them? The negative people that devalue every interaction, how to not be one, and how to remove them from your inner circle and not feel guilty?

Through a candid, story-driven message, we move from the hard truth that our minds naturally drift negative (up to 70–85% of our thoughts) to a practical habit that changes everything: daily thanksgiving. Hear a real family practice—sharing one thing they're thankful for each night—and a tense hospital episode with their child that reframed fear into recognition of God's presence. These moments model how naming small mercies rewires us from self-centered complaint to God-centered worship. Rooted in Scripture and wrapped in everyday life, the episode connects gratitude to peace (Philippians 4) and the fruit of the Spirit. If you want a clear, accessible path from negativity to joy, this episode gives you habits, stories, and a challenge to practice thankfulness today. Take your next step—let gratitude fill you with the Spirit.

Negativity can pile up on us through out our life. So much so that it is very easy to start to believe that nothing good will ever happen. People will suggest affirmations and law of attraction and many are skeptical that those things will ever work for them. The trust is that they will work only if we believe they will. They won't work, if we believe they won't. We have to retain ourselves to not feel silly thinking positively. That silly feeling is resistance and cynicism creeping back in. This meditation aims to help the meditator regain some peace and balance while reminding them that good things can happen, if only you just believe they can. One breath at a time.

In this episode, we talk about the importance of protecting your peace and guarding your mental space from constant negativity. Many of us have relationships that exist simply because time has passed, but we rarely stop to ask whether those relationships actually add value to our lives. Some people seem to thrive on sharing bad news, predicting failure, and filling conversations with doom and gloom. Over time, that negativity can quietly drain your energy and influence your mindset.This episode explores why negative news spreads so quickly, how the people around us shape our thinking, and why successful individuals are intentional about who they allow into their inner circle. We also discuss the importance of evaluating friendships and romantic relationships honestly. If someone consistently brings chaos, discouragement, or doubt into your life, it may be time to create healthy distance.Protecting your peace does not mean burning bridges. It simply means recognizing that your mind is valuable real estate and choosing not to let negativity live there rent-free.Check us out -  Instagram and Twitter: JeroldJax Facebook:  Jerold Action Jackson and Zone Of ActionJeroldJackson.comHappiness starts with you.

The first hour of The Charlie James Show on June 15, 2026, focused on South Carolina political endorsements for the upcoming gubernatorial runoff, conservative commentary on cultural divisions, and a breaking report on a shooting at the Haywood Mall. The hour highlighted local concerns regarding community safety and political trends within the state.

We live in a world that thrives on negativity.If you surround yourself with pessimistic people and toxic algorithms, you will catch that exact same mood. Then we try to fix our anxiety by controlling everyone around us or escaping into entertainment, but those things never actually bring peace.In this session, we look at Psalm 112 and Philippians 4 to discover how a person can live unafraid of bad news.You cannot survive the negativity of this world by treating your spiritual life like a tiny, once-a-day multivitamin. You have to actively fight the toxic environment by being radically generous to the people right in front of you, bringing your anxieties to God in prayer, and purposely fixing your thoughts on whatever is true, pure, and excellent.

This sermon addresses the powerful impact of negativity on our mental, emotional, and spiritual health. Pastor Blake examines how negativity distorts our view of reality and influences our decision-making, while positivity and hope rooted in Christ can transform our lives. Drawing from Romans 8, he emphasizes that despite present sufferings, believers have hope in Christ's redemptive power. The message challenges listeners to interrupt negative thought patterns with biblical truth, practice spiritual affirmations, and reframe circumstances through God's perspective. The central truth is that God can redeem any negative situation for good, just as He transformed the worst moment in history—the crucifixion—into the greatest victory through the resurrection.

Human beings naturally focus more on negative events than positive ones because the brain is biologically wired for survival through threat detection, with systems like the amygdala and stress-response networks prioritizing danger, fear, and uncertainty over peace and stability. Modern media and social media exploit this “negativity bias” through doom-scrolling, outrage culture, and constant exposure to crises such as Ebola fears, hantavirus outbreaks, wars, scandals, and societal collapse narratives, creating chronic stress, pessimism, and emotional exhaustion. Over time, this conditions the nervous system to expect danger everywhere, causing people to see the worst in society, others, and themselves while ignoring beauty, progress, meaning, and goodness that also exist around them. Neurologically and sociologically, repeated exposure to fear reshapes attention, perception, and even physical health through chronic cortisol elevation and hypervigilance. The solution is not naïve positivity, but intentional retraining of attention through disciplined media consumption, nervous system regulation, purposeful living, gratitude practices, physical movement, proper breathing, meaningful relationships, and focusing on balanced reality rather than constant catastrophe, allowing individuals to reclaim emotional resilience, mental clarity, and hope.Dr. Fred Clary, founder of Functional Analysis Chiropractic Technique and lifting/life coach/ gym-chalk covered philosopher talks about training your brain to hope.

As we explore why anxiety can feel stuck, I highlight that negativity is a part of the human experience, not something to be judged or completely eliminated. I emphasize that understanding negativity is crucial since it often serves as a protective mechanism wired into our brains. Our minds automatically scan for threats, a trait evolved for survival that can now manifest as anxiety-inducing thoughts.I explain how the negativity bias leads our thoughts to dwell on potential failures and worst-case scenarios, ultimately triggering the anxiety cycle. As negative thoughts creep in, they can create a physical response in the body, resulting in tension, increased heart rate, and a sense of unease. The combination of negative thoughts and bodily reactions reinforces a narrative that something is wrong, perpetuating a cycle of anxiety that feels insurmountable.However, I provide insights into how we can shift this narrative. Rather than striving for a perfectly positive mindset, I advocate for a more gentle approach that allows for balance and healing. I outline practical strategies to gently redirect our thoughts away from negativity. The goal is to create space and calm in our nervous systems, recognizing that our thoughts do not need to define our reality.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
