The grip of fear and anxiety has tightened around countless lives today—even among believers. What does it look like to break free? Join hosts John Martin and Valerie Peterson as they continue their heartfelt, practical discussion on overcoming these powerful emotions."False evidence appearing real." This simple acronym for fear reveals how deceptive our anxious thoughts can be. Throughout this conversation, John and Valerie offer transformative strategies for shifting the seesaw of emotions—when faith rises, fear naturally falls. They explain how thanksgiving acts as spiritual armor against anxiety, sharing the powerful truth from Philippians 4 about bringing everything to God with gratitude. For those struggling with persistent worry, they distinguish between experiencing the emotion of fear versus living under a spirit of fear.The hosts tackle difficult questions head-on: Why do traumatic experiences trigger anxiety years later? How can we identify the "why behind the what" of our anxious responses? When bad news arrives, what scripture can anchor our hearts? Their honest admissions about their own battles with fear create a judgment-free space for listeners facing similar struggles.Most powerfully, they share Ralph Waldo Emerson's profound wisdom: "Do the thing you fear most and the fear will leave you." This courage to act despite discomfort—to do it afraid—often becomes the pathway to freedom. Whether you're paralyzed by anxiety or simply seeking greater peace, this episode provides both compassionate understanding and practical tools for standing steadfast when life feels overwhelming. Listen, apply these principles, and discover how to manage your emotions rather than letting them manage you.For more information contact us atrtrdestiny@gmail.com

Why do many Christians today lose heart for evangelism? Are we fatigued by negative responses? Are we fearful of stepping outside our comfort zone? Do we overcomplicate it by listening too much to the "wisdom" of this world? In this special live episode recorded at Cedarwood Festival, Andy and Aaron are joined by Rev. Mark Greenwood, evangelism director for Elim Pentecostal Church, to wrestle through these questions. Mark shares some of his testimony, how it continues to inspire his approach to evangelism today, and how we can think through the challenges of evangelism on a more practical level.

capture the sun were admired.It: Marco sentiva il profumo del pane appena sfornato mentre si avvicinava al banco dei fiori, dove Giulia, la sua amica sempre sicura, lo aspettava.En: Marco smelled freshly baked bread as he approached the flower stand, where Giulia, his ever-confident friend, waited for him.It: "Ciao, Marco!En: "Hi, Marco!It: Come va con la presentazione?"En: How's it going with

l'allegro amico comune, si unì a loro.En: Riccardo, their cheerful mutual friend, joined them.It: "Su, Marco, beviamoci un caffè," propose, guidandoli alla piccola caffetteria del mercato dove l'aroma del caffè riempiva l'aria.En: "Come on, Marco, let's have a coffee," he proposed, leading them to the small market café where the aroma of coffee filled the air.It: Arrivò la mattina seguente, e la scuola risuonava già di eccitazione pre-Ferragosto.En: The following morning arrived, and the school was already resounding with pre-Ferragosto excitement.It: Marco aprì il suo zaino per prepararsi,

It's not just about pre-shot breathing or staying positive—it's about rewiring how you think, feel, and respond under pressure. You bring your whole self to the course. Your fears, beliefs, and emotional patterns show up in your swing, decision-making, and reactions. Fear drives self-sabotage. Fear of success, fear of failure, and fear of judgment all contribute to rushing, over-trying, and tightening up. Flow state is possible—and trainable. You can learn to access deeper focus and bypass conscious interference, creating effortless, confident swings. The subconscious is irrational. It's like a five-year-old running the show—until you learn to reprogram it. Reactions are patterns. Responses are power. You can train yourself to respond with calm, clarity, and curiosity—even after OB or three-putts. Change your identity, change your score. If you don't believe you're someone who can shoot in the 60s, your subconscious will keep the score higher. Key Quotes: “We bring our whole selves to the game of golf.” “The mental game is a checklist. Mindset is who you become.” “Your subconscious doesn't care if it makes sense. It just wants to protect you.” “The conscious mind is the goal-setter. The subconscious is the goal-getter.” “Golf is just a mirror of your personal development journey.” “You're either in the driver's seat of your life—or blaming someone else from the passenger side.” Time Stamps: 00:00: Introduction and Energy Exchange 01:09: Understanding the Mental Game of Golf 03:10: The Depth of Mindset in Golf 04:55: Exploring Emotional Connections in Golf 08:18: The Impact of Mindset on Performance 10:28: Overcoming Fear and Embracing Change 10:56: The Role of Fear in Personal Growth 14:02: The Importance of Identity in Performance 21:57: Building Mental Toughness 31:53: The Power of Positivity 42:25: Taking Ownership of Your Story

What if we've been led down the wrong path…When it comes to service design, we're often told the main goal is to break down silos. And that makes sense, right?Our organizations are structured vertically, but the experiences we design flow horizontally. This clash creates friction, so the natural instinct is to declare war on silos.But what if that's sending us in the wrong direction?Silos exist for a reason; they bring focus and efficiency to specific tasks. The real problem is often the broken connection between them. So, what if instead of trying to eliminate silos, we focused on repairing them?In this episode, I talk with Ellen Pittman, a researcher who shares a fascinating case study from a high-stakes organization struggling to meet a critical, time-sensitive performance target. On the surface, the pressure was on a single department to solve it.But as they dug deeper, they discovered the true bottleneck wasn't in that department at all, or even on the organizational chart. The real roadblocks were less visible and far more human.So what does it take to overcome these hidden barriers?Ellen found a specific mix of ingredients that allowed them to collaborate across team boundaries and address the issue with great success. In our conversation, we explore what those ingredients are and why it seems so hard for most organizations to get them right.This episode has the potential to reframe your thoughts on silos, leadership, and the roadblocks you think are in your way.A theme that I really loved exploring was how easily organizational metrics can be "gamed". We've all seen it, you hit the target but miss the actual goal... we talk about antidote in the episode.Enjoy the conversation and keep making a positive impact.Be well, ~ Marc--- [ 1.

Here are 6 tips:Recognize the thoughts and feelings as separate from facts. When you catch yourself thinking "I don't belong here" or "I'm going to be found out," pause and remind yourself that these are anxious thoughts, not objective truths. Just because you feel like a fraud doesn't mean you actually are one.Keep a record of your accomplishments. Write down positive feedback, successful projects, and skills you've developed. When imposter syndrome hits, review this evidence of your competence. It's hard to argue with concrete examples of your contributions and growth.Reframe "failure" as learning. Imposters fear being exposed through mistakes, but everyone makes them. Instead of seeing errors as proof you don't belong, view them as normal parts of growth. The most successful people fail regularly—they just learn from it and keep going.Talk to others about it. You'll often discover that people you admire have felt exactly the same way. Sharing these feelings reduces their power and helps you realize how common they are, especially among high achievers who set demanding standards for themselves.Focus on contribution over perfection. Instead of trying to prove you deserve to be somewhere, concentrate on how you can help or add value. When you're genuinely focused on contributing to your team or field, there's less mental energy available for self-doubt and comparison.Reframe your internal dialogue. Instead of "I don't know what I'm doing," try "I'm learning as I go." Replace "I got lucky" with "I was prepared when opportunity came." This shift from fixed self-criticism to growth-oriented thinking can reduce the power of imposter thoughts. Some resources for you:Project more confidence and credibility with my free tips: 9 Words to Avoid & What to Say Instead: https://karenlaos.com/words-to-avoid/My book “Trust Your Own Voice”: https://karenlaos.com/book/Episodes also available on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEwQoTGdJX5eME0ccBKiKng/videos Karen Laos, Communication Expert and Confidence Cultivator, leverages 25 years in the boardroom and speaking on the world's most coveted stages such as Google and NASA to transform missed opportunities into wins.

Fear and anxiety touch all our lives, yet many of us—even believers—find ourselves trapped in their grip despite knowing God calls us to peace. In this heartfelt conversation, hosts John Martin and Valerie Peterson share their personal journeys with anxiety while offering practical biblical solutions for breaking free."I've had anxiety in my past, even anxiety where it was crippling me," John confesses, immediately creating a safe space for listeners struggling with similar experiences. This raw honesty sets the tone for an episode that doesn't simply offer platitudes but acknowledges the very real battle many face daily.The hosts explore the fundamental spiritual dynamics behind anxiety—the tension between trust and control. Drawing from Scripture passages like Matthew 6:25-34 and Philippians 4:6-7, they reveal how God's word directly addresses our tendency to worry about tomorrow. Valerie shares a powerful insight: "I'll take life half hour by half hour. Sometimes even a day is hard to do," demonstrating that overcoming anxiety is often a moment-by-moment practice rather than an instant transformation.What sets this episode apart is its practical approach. Beyond encouraging prayer, the hosts outline specific strategies: developing a daily intimate relationship with God, consciously inviting the Holy Spirit into daily decisions, renewing your mind through Scripture meditation, joining supportive small groups, and seeking professional counseling when needed. Each recommendation comes with personal testimony about its effectiveness, offering listeners not just theory but tested pathways to peace.The conversation culminates with a profound observation about heaven—that we may one day regret all the time wasted in worry and fear when we see God's perfect plan revealed. This eternal perspective invites listeners to begin releasing anxiety today, trusting that the God who sees "the entire parade" of our lives is working even when we can only see today's circumstances.Ready to break free from the cycle of fear and anxiety? Listen now and discover how to experience the peace that surpasses understanding, even in our increasingly uncertain world.For more information contact us atrtrdestiny@gmail.com

Pete Polis went from playing for the Yankees to building a drug empire out of a furniture store. Growing up in Long Island with a father in the NYPD, Pete was on the right track — drafted to play for the Blue Jays, White Sox, and Yankees. But after walking away from baseball, his life took a shocking turn. He became a pastor, took a job at a furniture store, and secretly built an intricate drug operation — eventually working with a cartel. When the feds caught up, Pete was sentenced to 4 years in federal prison. In this interview, Pete reveals how he hid his double life, what really goes on inside the drug game, and how prison led him to start over. Now sober and running a recovery house, this is the wild redemption story you don't want to miss. #TrueCrimePodcast #FederalPrisonStory #BaseballToPrison #DrugTrafficking #RedemptionStory #PrisonInterview #RecoveryJourney #LockedInPodcast Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ Get 50% off the Magic Mind offer here: https://www.magicmind.com/IANB50. #magicmind #mentalwealth #mentalperformance Presented by Tyson 2.0 & Wooooo Energy: https://tyson20.com/ https://woooooenergy.com/ Buy Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop Timestamps: 00:00:00 From Baseball Player to Dr*g Trafficker 00:06:07 Baseball Journey and Achievements 00:12:40 Law and Ethics: A Father's Influence 00:19:24 Early Baseball Career and Setbacks 00:26:00 Journey in Independent Baseball 00:32:24 Starting a Food Bank: Overcoming Challenges 00:39:09 Teaching Inmates Telemarketing Skills 00:46:29 Journey into Illegal Activities 00:53:24 Overcoming Fear and Seeking Protection 00:59:52 Uncovering a Flawless Smuggling Operation 01:05:44 Midnight Move: Avoiding Unwanted Attention 01:12:34 Escaping Federal Pursuit 01:19:23 Legal Struggles and Plea Bargains: Navigating Sentencing Options 01:25:58 Unexpected Arrest Encounter 01:32:18 From Dealer to Recovery Home Entrepreneur 01:38:34 Overcoming Addiction Through Faith and Transformation Powered by: Just Media House : https://www.justmediahouse.com/ Creative direction, design, assets, support by FWRD: https://www.fwrd.co Learn more about your ad choices.

Pastor Jim walks through the reign of King Ahaz and the nature of fear in leadership. Unlike his ancestor David, Ahaz responds to threats with frantic fear rather than trust or "faithful fear", leading to idolatry, poor alliances, and the abandonment of God's worship. Jim challenges us to examine how we respond to fear: do we panic and grasp for control, or do we redirect that fear toward deeper reliance on God? Through the words of the prophet Isaiah, listeners are reminded that God is present, faithful, and calling His people to trust Him even when life feels overwhelming. This message offers a clear call to be impressed by God's faithfulness rather than intimidated by present threats and encourages us to build regular rhythms of prayer and reflection so that fear becomes an invitation to faithful obedience.
