Charlie Houpert is an entrepreneur and YouTuber. Why does life tend to teach its hardest lessons just as we think we've arrived? We chase the goals, build the lifestyle, tick the boxes, only to discover that emptiness and insecurity still follow us. Ancient philosophers and writers wrestled with this long before we did, encoding the problem into myths that have endured for thousands of years. So what were they trying to show us? And how can those old stories help us reclaim a sense of identity when we feel most lost? Expect to learn what Charlie's personal growth journey has been over the past few years, why people feel so disconnected to success when they achieve it, how to balance societal and spiritual fulfillment, what the lessons of history and the power of mythology can teach us about modern problems, how charisma led Charlie to a spiritual breakthrough, what the future of Charisma on Command will look like and much more… Sponsors: See discounts for all the products I use and recommend: https://chriswillx.com/deals New pricing since recording: Function is now just $365, plus get $25 off at https://functionhealth.com/modernwisdom Get a Free Sample Pack of LMNT's most popular flavours with your first purchase at https://drinklmnt.com/modernwisdom Get 35% off your first subscription on the best supplements from Momentous at https://livemomentous.com/modernwisdom Get up to $350 off the Pod 5 at https://eightsleep.com/modernwisdom Extra Stuff: Get my free reading list of 100 books to read before you die: https://chriswillx.com/books Try my productivity energy drink Neutonic: https://neutonic.com/modernwisdom Episodes You Might Enjoy: #577 - David Goggins - This Is How To Master Your Life: https://tinyurl.com/43hv6y59 #712 - Dr Jordan Peterson - How To Destroy Your Negative Beliefs: https://tinyurl.com/2rtz7avf #700 - Dr Andrew Huberman - The Secret Tools To Hack Your Brain: https://tinyurl.com/3ccn5vkp - Get In Touch: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chriswillx Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/chriswillx YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/modernwisdompodcast Email: https://chriswillx.com/contact - Learn more about your ad choices.

From the discomfort of "losing yourself" to the beauty of rediscovery — this is a reminder that you aren't alone in feeling lost during your evolution.If you've ever felt like you're in a transition period where you no longer fit into your old life but don't quite know who the "new you" is yet, this episode is for you.With Love, Mafe.Go to https://beacons.ai/imissedmeand check out all of I Missed Me.Check out my personal socials belowhttps://beacons.ai/mafeanzuresOur Sponsors:* Check out BetterHelp: https://www.betterhelp.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/i-missed-me/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
So many midlife women approach their healing and growth work from the root belief that they are not good enough, they are bad, wrong, or broken, or that they need to find a "fix" outside of themselves. And then they will feel kinder to themselves, more at peace, or everything in life will fall into place.All this does is reinforce your old self-protective patterns and gives you more of the same. More of what is NOT working for you.If you want to create loving, positive, healthy, sustainable change in your life, in your relationships, in your relationship with yourself, then you need to change a fundamental belief.You don't need fixing. You are already whole.You don't need to do better and be better. You need to BE your True Self and learn how to BE on your own side.In this episode I walk you through a process of growth and becoming that I call Old Self - New Self - True Self.Women arrive at my work at the New Self phase. I take them through this vulnerable, messy stage of becoming and help them meet and befriend their True Self. This is where they learn to lead from their Wise, Healthy, Brilliant Self more and more of the time.The New Self phase is hard work. It's important to know that and normalize it. You will need to shed, strip away, question, decondition... and this can feel unmooring and destabilizing at first.But - this is also where freedom and joy really begin to grow in your life.You learn to receive what you truly want and need. You learn to be on your own side and really trust yourself. You learn to pause between impulse and response. You learn how to be with discomfort and show up through it vs quitting or hiding under the covers. And you put down deep, hardy roots of self-awareness and self-compassion.If there is a part of you that recognizes a desire to say YES to more freedom and joy and self-kindness, then after listening to this episode, I invite you to listen to a free training about Rewilding in Midlife.Get the free training: https://www.alifeinprogress.ca/rewilding/Or if you are ready to work with me, reach out and we can book a free 25 minute call: https://www.alifeinprogress.ca/schedule-a-free-chat/
In Sermon on the Mount — Episode 2 of Straight Bible, we continue a deep verse-by-verse breakdown of one of the most important teachings of Jesus. Rather than speaking to political systems or the crowds, Christ pulls His disciples aside and reveals what the Kingdom of God actually looks like in practice — challenging modern assumptions about righteousness, discipleship, and spiritual transformation.This episode explores how the Sermon on the Mount is not merely moral instruction, but a blueprint for forming people who can live out the culture of the Kingdom. From the Beatitudes to spiritual hunger, Jesus outlines an inward transformation that produces outward change — a message that remains radically relevant today.If you've ever wondered what Jesus truly meant by righteousness, obedience, and living differently from the world, this study brings historical context, biblical clarity, and practical application together in a straightforward and accessible conversation.
From Ephesians 4:22, we see that we are called to be disciples - to learn from and live like Christ.
Nev Floyd preaches from Ephesians 4:17-24 on how our new life in Christ is to affect every aspect of our lives as we put on the new life and refuse to put on our old life.
Hello and Happy Birthday to you listening in Daniels, West Virginia!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga.I'm often asked: What was the most difficult lesson on my Camino de Santiago pilgrimage? Letting go. Letting go of the way I was. Letting go of my old self. Giving myself over to the walking.You think it's easy? Get up in the dark, pack in the dark, head out in the dark. Walk 15 or 20 miles a day, no matter how hot or cold or wet you feel. No matter how rocky or lonesome or tired. Nothing prepares you for walking Camino but to walk Camino.How do you do it? Here's a tip: surrender. Give yourself over. You are here now. Make the most of it. When you want to stomp around and make furious gestures, make the most of that. Make the most of your joys as well as complaints. Give voice to them all.And then give yourself back to the only job you have: to walk. Every day my Camino lesson shows up like this: “Just walk it off, Diane!”Question: What single-minded purpose of yours guides you along your way? And how are you walking?

In Part Two of the Becoming New series, we walk through Colossians 3:5–11 which shows us that real transformation requires putting the old self to death. Paul calls believers to purge old appetites, old reactions, and old identities—because you can't step into a new life while holding on to old patterns.
The “in-between”: That space/experience where the old no longer fits, and the new one hasn't fully formed. We will talk about how we can normalize this phase as part of growth: reframe from a failure or setback and honoring the space between no longer and not yet.
In this episode of Shed and Shine, Gino and Rob unpack a powerful new definition of “SHIT” shared by healer Gabe Roberts: Suppressed, Hidden, Influential Traumas. Together, they explore how buried emotions manifest in our bodies, relationships, and leadership, often showing up as fear, tension, and disconnection from peace.They break down each part of the acronym, revealing how unprocessed pain becomes trapped energy that shapes the way we live and lead. Gino shares how releasing these emotional blocks through awareness and presence allows our True Self to shine, while Rob offers insight into the fear that keeps us from facing what hurts.This conversation invites you to look inward, shed what no longer serves you, and rediscover the quiet strength of clarity, peace, and trust.

Most people don't fail at their goals because they lack discipline, they fail because they're planning the future as a version of themselves they've already outgrown. In this episode, I talk about why identity matters more than strategy when it comes to planning a year that actually works, and how making decisions from your “old self” creates unnecessary friction, burnout, and stalled momentum. You'll hear how your calendar, pricing, and boundaries are shaped by who you believe you are, and what starts to shift when identity catches up with growth. This episode is a quiet invitation to stop forcing a new year from an old version of yourself and begin planning 2026 from a truer, more aligned place.Looking to get some advice on what to do next in your interior design business?

In our war against sin, too many Christians spend their life surrendering ground to the enemy trying to manage their sin instead of putting it to death. Life in the New Man is putting off the Old Self and putting on the New. Its making war on your sin and crucifying the flesh.
Stop reacting. Start choosing.Kratos wasn't always calm.He was forged in rage, driven by instinct, and trapped by his past.In this video, we break down the Kratos mindset not as a warrior, but as a man who learned that strength without control is slavery.If your life feels reactive…If anger, habits, or impulses keep running the game…This video is for you. Topics covered: • Why control is stronger than rage • How awareness creates real power • Breaking cycles instead of repeating them • Small choices that permanently upgrade your mindset

Carl Matthei - In Colossians 3:1–17, Paul shows us what it means to live out the new life we already have in Christ. Because we have been raised with him, the old self no longer defines us. Instead, we are called to put off what belongs to our former way of life and to put on the character of Christ, as his word shapes our hearts, our relationships, and our worship.

Calls on the Steelers, one expecting a collapse and a Tomlin resignation. Another caller expects the Steelers to win in Baltimore. George Pickens reverted to his true self last night, but he still was probably worth keeping for one more year. "Timeliness" has been a problem for Pickens this season. We remember Antonio Brown in a hot air balloon.
How would a fight between Callas and Bechtold turn out? This is a historically mediocre version of Steelers/Ravens. The buzz has died down even from a year ago. However, this is a huge game for Tomlin. John Harbaugh is under some pressure, too. Can they ever get over the lump with Lamar Jackson? This is a massive swing for playoff odds. Do Steelers fans even want to make the playoffs? But a win will get fans excited again. Even if the Steelers lose out, they probably won't get a great draft pick. Joe really benefits from protein bars during the show. Lamar looked more healthy last week. Joe is taking the Ravens, as does Donny, albeit in a lower scoring game. Have the Steelers become the Eagles "Dream Team" in terms of disappointment? Will the Steelers attendance take a hit with another loss?

We remember Antonio Brown in a hot air balloon.
Ed and Jeremy took some time from the second hour of Monday's BBMS to debate what will need to happen to get Lamar Jackson back to his MVP form. Some are saying that Jackson is “broken”. Is that hyperbole? How can he be fixed?
Do you ever walk into a family gathering feeling confident and capable, only to find yourself 30 minutes later scrubbing dishes to avoid conversation or saying yes to things you don't want to do? In this episode, I'm addressing something that affects every single one of us during the holidays but that we usually don't name - the version of you that shows up when you're back in an old environment. You walk into your childhood home or your in-laws' house, and suddenly you're not the confident adult you've become. You're slipping back into old roles you thought you'd outgrown, whether that's the helper, the peacekeeper, or the one who cleans up to avoid vulnerable conversations. Join me this week to discover why your brain defaults to these old patterns, how your primitive brain's need for safety drives you back into outdated roles, and most importantly, how to bring the present version of yourself to the table. You'll learn practical tools for staying grounded when everything around you is pulling you back into who you used to be, so you can leave holiday gatherings feeling steady and proud instead of depleted.

When we belong to Jesus, God calls us to take off our old way of life like we would remove a filthy old set of clothes. But it doesn't stop there. We are also called to put on a new way of living, one that replaces darkness with light. This week, Pastor Connor continues our series in Ephesians with a look at taking off our former manner of life and putting on a life that pleases God. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, we are able to reject sinful desires and embrace legging practices. When we follow Him, God replaces our lies with truth, our greed with generosity, our tearing down with building up, and more.This week, our hosts continue their discussion on the book of Ephesians, some of the talking points were, how to be angry without sinning, grieving the Holy Spirit, and putting away your old self and putting on the new self. Oh and tune into the beginning to hear our hosts talk about when would be the earliest they would put up their Christmas trees, if it had to be done before Thanksgiving.If you would like to watch the video podcast, find us on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMhDfGn0zfzi6XjcKkSVcFAFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/discovertbcInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/topekabiblechurchWebsite: https://www.discovertbc.com/

What happens when you outgrow the very thing that made you successful? Facing the older version of yourself—the one who doesn't fit where you're going—is all a part of leveling up. For years, I was considered the "PR Agency Girl," but the moment I knew I didn't identify with that woman anymore, I felt it. It took a while for my identity and how I saw myself to actually catch up with the person I was becoming. In this episode, you will learn about: How we get stuck in old patterns of thinking and struggle to move on. What happened when I hit a huge goal and how my identity needed to catch up. The identity lag effect and the three faces we wear in the midst of it. A recent experience I had with a psychiatrist that made me reflect on identity. The role family plays in keeping you stuck in your old identity (and how to break free). How the identity threat and fear of abandonment impact your identity release. What it takes to integrate your new identity and walk into every room confidently. How your identity growth is actually a gift to the other people around you.

When your Old Self is dead and gone, you are left only with your new self--your TRUE self! Jesus!
Crystal Rivers | Word for Now | Nov 3, 2025 Let your mind be renewed until you can test and prove God's good, acceptable, and perfect will in real time. Read Scripture like a map of “holy hyperlinks”: when you see patterns (120 in the upper room; the cloud that filled the tabernacle and temple; the smoke that fills the temple in Revelation 15), grasp the message—when God's glory (His light) fills His house, reality is revealed. That revealing is what Scripture calls “wrath”: not God lashing out, but light exposing and undoing whatever partners with death. Treat sin like cancer—small mutations that look harmless until they consume; do not negotiate with it. Refuse the world's narratives that keep the “old man” animated; walk by the light of what God says of you in Christ. Go deeper: how to live this now • Rule your inputs. Curate what you watch, read, and repeat. Your “inner light” is shaped by your daily feed. Replace doom-scroll with Word-scroll. • Daily exchange. Morning and night: (1) confess what's false, (2) declare what's true “in Christ,” (3) take one concrete action within 24 hours that agrees with truth. • Short accounts. Repent fast, forgive fast, reconcile fast. Don't sleep with accusation in your mouth or offense in your heart. • Welcome exposure. Ask trusted believers to lovingly confront blind spots. Treat reproof as mercy, not shame. • Train imagination. Meditate until you see yourself acting like Jesus in specific pressures—then go do it. • Fast strategically. Use food, media, and comfort fasts to break agreement with “old-man” reflexes. Pair every fast with extra Word and prayer. • Pray for light, not ease. Ask for illumination that makes sin impossible to hide and obedience easy to choose. • Practice generosity. Give time, honor, and money where it costs you. It starves pride and feeds love. Reading numbers as hyperlinks (so symbols serve obedience) • 12 → Governmental maturity (tribes/apostles). • 10 → Testing/completeness of order. • 100 → Fullness/fruitfulness. • 120 → Priestly fullness unto glory (echoing the trumpeting priests). • 144,000 → A picture of completeness multiplied (mature, sealed people across tribes), pointing to a people formed into Christ, not mere headcount. Use symbols to aim your life: pursue maturity, tested obedience, fruit that remains, priestly worship, and sealed allegiance. Discernment drills (5 minutes each) 1. Light Check: “What am I believing right now? Does it agree with the Word or with fear/pride?” Replace the lie with a verse and an action. 2. Speech Guard: Before replying, ask: “Will these words sow light or feed death?” If neutral or dark, wait. 3. Peace Barometer: If peace drops, trace the last agreement you made (thought, word, click). Break it; agree with truth again. 4. Mercy Reflex: When someone fails, act in the opposite spirit within one hour: bless, cover, help. 5. Hidden Yes: Do one obedient act daily that only God sees. It trains you for a glory-filled temple where flesh cannot posture. Community rhythms that make holiness feel like love • Confession before communion. Normalize brief, specific confession and prayer before worship. • Testimony of exposure → restoration. Celebrate stories where light revealed sin and produced healing. • Prophetic with process. Words that expose should come with a path to restore (scripture, steps, accountability, time frame). • Hospitality as warfare. Open tables dismantle isolation, bitterness, and secret agreements with darkness. Pitfalls to refuse • Spectator faith. Consuming teachings without practicing them calcifies the heart. • Cynicism disguised as discernment. Testing everything is biblical; scorning everything is unbelief. • End-times fear. Revelation's aim is loyalty and hope, not panic. Read for the glory outcome. • Selective obedience. Partial yes is a slow no; it keeps the “old man” on life support. A simple daily liturgy (10 minutes) 1. Present: “Lord, I present my body a living sacrifice.” 2. Renew: Read a short passage; speak one sentence of obedience you'll do today. 3. Renounce: Name any lie/accusation; replace it with truth out loud. 4. Request: “Flood my heart with light. Make exposure my friend and love my reflex.” 5. Release: Bless an enemy, a rival, or a critic by name. Lean into that future now—detox from worldliness, fast and pray, saturate your imagination with the Word, stay tender and quick to repent, forgive before you feel it, welcome loving correction, and build communities where prophetic clarity, humility, and mercy make compromise impossible. Search out what God has hidden for you (not from you): the unsearchable riches of Christ will meet you as you seek. Live like a king who searches matters out; love like a bride who reads the romance in every parable; and let your daily choices agree with the light you intend to live by.

You can have the best strategy, work the hardest, and be completely committed to your growth—but if your environment isn't supporting the transformation you're trying to make, you're going to stay stuck. Because transition isn't a strategy problem. It's an *environment* problem. In this episode, we're covering: The truth about becoming: you can't create new beliefs in old environments Why you literally cannot step into a new season while you're still in your old environment What happens when you try to become someone new in a space that only knows the old you How the women who move through transition fastest approach their environment differently This is Part 2 of The Shift Series—a 6-part mini-series on what it really takes to move from where you are to where you want to be. >> LISTEN TO THE EPISODE NOW
In Romans 6, we encounter a powerful message about our identity in Christ and the nature of sin. The central theme revolves around our death to sin and new life in Jesus. We learn that through baptism, we are symbolically united with Christ in His death and resurrection, enabling us to 'walk in newness of life.' This passage challenges us to see ourselves as dead to sin and alive to God, reminding us that our old self was crucified with Christ. The imagery of putting off the old nature like a dead carcass is particularly striking, urging us to embrace our new identity. As we grapple with the presence of sin in our lives, we're encouraged to remember that we're fighting a defeated foe - Satan has been disarmed, and we have the authority in Christ to resist him. This message calls us to live out our faith actively, submitting to God and resisting the devil, knowing that we have been given all things in Christ for godliness and power.### Sermon Notes#### Key Themes:1. **Sin and Grace:** - Sin, deriving from the Greek word "hamartia," means to miss the mark, as in archery when one misses the bullseye. It encompasses anything that doesn't honor God. - Everyone sins daily, often unknowingly—highlighted by the analogy of felonies in everyday actions. - Sin resides in the human body, but through Jesus, believers are delivered from their sins.2. **Romans' Structure:** - The first section of Romans addresses universal sinfulness and the need for the blood of Jesus for redemption. - The second section focuses on conversion and what Jesus has done for believers. - The third section deals with failure, redemption, and the process of sanctification.3. **The Grace Debate:** - Address's Paul's teachings on grace—often misunderstood as a license to sin. - Grace is limitless but shouldn't encourage sinning. It's meant to lead to repentance.4. **Walking in Sanctification:** - Sanctification is a lifelong process. - Believers must "walk" in faith, actively choosing righteousness over sin.5. **Overcoming Sin Nature:** - The old sinful nature is crucified with Christ; hence believers need not be slaves to it. - Emphasizing spiritual rebirth where believers share in Jesus' death and resurrection.6. **Grace and Holiness:** - Balancing grace with a call to holiness. - Holiness is aspiring to be more like God, beyond merely acknowledging imperfection.7. **The Defeated Enemy:** - Despite sin's presence, Christ's victory ensures that believers fight a defeated foe—the devil. - Jesus disarmed spiritual authorities and reclaimed dominion.#### Practical Applications:1. **Daily Walk:** - Embrace sanctification by making intentional choices that honor God. - Begin each day with a commitment to resist sin and follow Christ's teachings.2. **Mortifying the Old Self:** - Regularly reaffirm the crucifixion of your old sinful self. Confess sins, repent, and embrace the new nature in Christ. - Practicing self-discipline through spiritual activities like fasting can help assert mastery over the flesh.3. **Rely on Grace:** - Trust in God's boundless grace to cover past mistakes but be proactive about living a life that strives for holiness. - Use grace as a motivator towards repentance rather than a justification for complacency.4. **Confronting the Enemy:** - Recognize the enemy is already defeated; utilize Jesus' authority in spiritual warfare. - Engage actively in prayer, studying Scripture, and living obediently to resist satanic influences.#### Discussion Questions:1. How do you personally define sin, and how conscious are you of missing the mark in your daily life?2. In what ways have you seen grace play out in your own spiritual journey?3. Discuss the balance between grace and a call to holiness in your life. How do you strive to achieve this balance?4. What actions can you take to 'walk out' your faith more deliberately each day?5. How do you spiritually combat the "defeated foe" in your own life? What Scriptures or practices help you reclaim victory?

One reason why the people of God are called to be mature is because our vocation, yours and mine in this world, is to be Jesus's representatives. To demonstrate the goodness of his way to proclaim the gospel, through our deeds and words, to show the world what it looks like to love God and to love others.

Ephesians 4:22 says, “You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires.”Sister, today we're digging into what it looks like to take off the old patterns that are keeping you stuck—whether that's shame-driven dieting, emotional eating, comparison, or neglecting the temple of your body.This isn't about willpower or performance—it's about surrender. Just as we take off old clothes that no longer fit, we can choose to take off the lies and behaviors that no longer belong to us as daughters of Christ.
