In this solo episode of Live On Purpose Radio, Dr. Paul Jenkins takes on one of the most common laments he has heard in his practice: why do I do what I do when I know what I know? His answer is good news. Your brain is not malfunctioning. It is doing something it is remarkably good at, which is automating whatever you have already practiced. Neural pathways turn repeated experiences into cruise control, the same way walking, typing, or driving a car become automatic without a conscious thought. That same process runs on our thoughts. We carry practiced ways of judging our circumstances, ourselves, and the people around us, and we have rehearsed some of those patterns thousands of times over decades. So when an old thought shows up on its own, there is no reason for guilt or shame. Familiar does not mean true. It means practiced. Dr. Paul introduces metacognition, thinking about thinking, as the place to start, because it creates a little space and that space is where choice lives. He also offers a shift in language: instead of "I'm just a negative person" or "I'm just an anxious person," try "I have become very practiced at noticing things negatively." A practiced pattern can be practiced differently. To show what reprogramming takes, he describes the scrambled keyboards he brings to corporate trainings, with the keys popped off and put back in the wrong places. Most people need about forty-five seconds to type their own first name on one. Nobody would bother learning that layout without a reason, and that is the point. Two things are required to build a new neural pathway: meaning or purpose, and repetition. Meaning is essential but not enough on its own. You still have to take the keyboard home and put in the reps. He also reminds listeners not to confuse unfamiliar with unnatural, and points back to episode 721, "Now do it again tomorrow." The episode closes with a question and an invitation. What are you practicing? Notice one thought pattern today that seems to run automatically, without beating yourself up, and ask whether it is a pattern you want to keep practicing. You have thoughts, but you are not your thoughts. October's theme on Positives is the brain, "the owner's manual." Positives is built for transformational learning through daily, weekly, and monthly practices, with the daily ones starting at three minutes a day.

In this solo episode of Live On Purpose Radio, Dr. Paul Jenkins takes on the question he has heard most often in three decades of clinical work: why do I do what I do when I know what I know? His answer starts with an image. Picture yourself stuck inside a box, with the instructions for getting out printed on the outside. You can't read them from where you're standing, and that has nothing to do with intelligence, motivation, or capability. It is a matter of perspective, and it is the first reason he gives for why all of us need coaches. We experience everything from inside our own minds, Dr. Paul explains, and our biggest error is believing what we think. Assumptions don't feel like assumptions. They feel like reality, which is why blind spots stay blind. He shares a moment from a retreat with his coach Jody Moore, where two dozen people each took an hour in the hot seat over three full days. When his turn came, he laid out everything going on in his business and his mind, then paused for the coaching. Jody's whole response was, "Well, that's a thought." He had believed he was describing his circumstances. She showed him he was describing his thoughts about them. A coach, he adds, does not know your life better than you do. What a coach has is the one thing you cannot give yourself: an outside perspective. The second reason is that information is not transformation. Dr. Paul returns to the difference between breakthrough learning, when the lights come on, and transformational learning, when practice slowly changes who you are, and compares it to learning the piano until his hands knew where to go without thinking. Then he adds the third piece: another human. Change happens in relationship. A promise made only to yourself usually leaves a back door cracked open, and telling a coach or accountability partner closes it. He explains the difference between real friends and deal friends, and why he felt free to make his coaching relationships entirely about his own growth. He loves the way his daughter defines commitment: doing what you said you'd do after the feeling you had when you said it has passed. The episode closes with an invitation. Maybe you don't need another book, another podcast, or another breakthrough. Maybe the instructions are already printed on the outside of your box, and you need someone standing outside it to read them to you. Dr. Paul built Positives to support both kinds of learning, with daily, weekly, and monthly practices plus private and group coaching. There's a free sample at liveonpurposeradio.com/positives.

In this solo episode of Live On Purpose Radio, Dr. Paul Jenkins records while gathered with his Positivity Artisans group, a small circle he meets with a few times a year for deeper, in-person work on the principles of positivity. Ahead of this retreat the group read Eckhart Tolle's The Power of Now together, and rereading it put the idea of presence squarely on his mind. He offers listeners two simple invitations drawn from that reading: get here, and get now. Get here means noticing that your body can occupy only one place, even when your mind has checked out somewhere else. Dr. Paul lists the familiar ways this shows up: eating dinner with the family while thinking about work, sitting in a meeting while scrolling a phone, talking with a spouse while replaying yesterday, spending time with the kids while running through tomorrow's to-do list. He returns to a principle he often teaches, that awareness precedes choice. Then he borrows a small example from Tolle: washing dishes while feeling the warmth of the water and the texture of the soap, instead of treating the task as something to get through on the way to the next thing. Get now is the second half of the invitation, built on the idea that now is the only moment in which anyone can act. Dr. Paul walks through why the past is useful for learning and the future is useful for planning, but neither one can be lived in. He calls it a kind of insanity to get pulled outside the now: regret, guilt, and shame come from dwelling in the past, while anxiety and worry come from rehearsing a future that has not happened yet. He connects this to the phrase "it is what it is," arguing that presence is not about pretending things are fine, but about facing what is true right now so you can ask, now what. That is where the present becomes a gift in the fullest sense. Not because the moment always feels good, but because it is the only place where choice and power live. He closes by tying the idea to the platform he has spent the past year building, Positives. It grows out of a distinction from a recent episode between breakthrough learning and transformational learning, since presence, like positivity, is something practiced rather than known.

In this solo episode of Live On Purpose Radio, Dr. Paul Jenkins draws a line between two kinds of learning that thirty years of clinical work have only sharpened for him: breakthrough learning and transformational learning. Breakthrough is the moment something clicks, an insight from a podcast, a book, or a seminar that suddenly makes an old pattern visible. Transformation is what happens after the lights come on, and it looks a lot less exciting: repetition, practice, and showing up again the next day. Dr. Paul uses his own life as proof. He plays the piano and is fluent in Finnish, and neither came from a moment of inspiration; both took years of deliberate practice. He ties this to a principle he returns to often: awareness precedes choice. Until a pattern becomes conscious, he says, we are simply running programs we inherited, the same way we inherited our native language from our parents without ever choosing it. Once we see the pattern, new choices open up. The rest of the episode makes the case for rhythm over motivation. Dr. Paul shares an image his daughter gave him: a seed that needs three gallons of water over a month does not want it dumped on all at once, it needs daily sprinkling. He argues most people get their positivity the same way, in big occasional doses from a seminar or a book, with no daily practice behind it. Quoting something one of his own coaches taught him, that information is free but containers are rare, he makes the point that most of us do not have a knowledge problem, we have an implementation problem. He closes with the episode's title as the instruction: enjoy the breakthrough, then get up tomorrow and do it again. What inspires you today can only transform you if you practice it.

In this episode of Live On Purpose Radio, Dr. Paul Jenkins welcomes Dr. Cristine Hull, author of 10 Ways to Balance Your Brain Chemistry, for a conversation about what is actually going on when your mood will not cooperate. Cristine's work grew out of her own long struggle with depression and anxiety and the search for real answers that followed, and as she puts it, her mess became her message. Dr. Paul opens with a question he has heard from clients for years: is this all in my head, or is it chemical? Cristine's answer is that it is all connected. She describes the wellness diamond, with physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual facets that each lift or limit the others, and she makes the case for taking personal responsibility for your own well being rather than handing it over to whoever is calling the shots in the market. From there the conversation gets practical. Cristine walks through the five brain chemicals that shape how we feel and the everyday counterfeits we reach for when one of them runs low, from caffeine and carbs to sugar and the endless scroll on our phones. Learning to tell them apart, she explains, is what puts you back in a position to choose. Dr. Paul's own drumbeat fits right here: awareness precedes choice. Listeners are invited to take an honest look at what they reach for and why, and to start sorting out their own brain chemistry. Cristine has a free series of content, including video, at 10waysbook.com, and you can learn more about her work at cristinehull.com.
What does it mean to be hidden in the secret place with God? In this message, Paul walks through powerful Scriptures that show how God protects, covers, and strengthens His people in hard seasons. The secret place is not about escaping life, but about bringing our problems into God's presence and finding peace there. When we sit with El Shaddai, the God who keeps His promises, we discover we are never alone in the storm.
Dr. Paul Jenkins welcomes Marty Hofmann to this episode of Live On Purpose Radio to discuss a powerful concept: killing complacency. Marty Hofmann, author of the book "Kill Complacency," joins Dr. Paul in a conversation about intentionally creating the life you love by avoiding the passive acceptance of the status quo. Marty's insights draw from his own journey and highlight how complacency can quietly sabotage our lives, leading us to live on autopilot rather than with purpose. Learn more about Marty Hofmann and his work at killcomplacency.com. Together, Dr. Paul and Marty explore how to break free from the drift of everyday life by making intentional choices. They introduce three "sacred questions" that serve as a guide to making decisions that align with your goals, being mindful of what your future self might advise. Marty shares his framework of the seven F's—Faith, Family, Fitness, Finance, Friends, Future Self, and Fun—as a comprehensive approach to living a meaningful and balanced life. For those who find themselves too caught up in the whirlwind of daily routines, this episode serves as a timely reminder that life is not a rehearsal. Tune in to discover practical strategies for making small, consistent changes that can lead to significant transformations. Dr. Paul and Marty emphasize the importance of discipline, course correction, and especially the role of 'fun' in living a well-rounded life. If you're ready to reclaim your life from complacency, this conversation is your call to action. Visit the podcast at Live On Purpose Radio to engage more deeply and make a conscious choice to live a life on purpose.

This message walks through the final words of James and asks a simple but serious question: Does our life show what we say we believe? James calls believers to live with real faith, honest repentance, patient hope, powerful prayer, and love that goes after those who have wandered. This is not about being perfect. It's about being changed by Jesus and letting our actions, words, and choices reflect Him every day.

What if your plans aren't the whole story? This message talks about letting go of control, using what you've been given well, and living with open hands instead of only chasing your own way. You'll be challenged to think about your time, talents, money, and opportunities—and ask: am I building something that really matters?
In this episode, Dr. Paul Jenkins uncovers the unexpected strength found in simply saying 'I don't know.' While this phrase is often seen as a weakness or a lack of confidence, Dr. Paul encourages listeners to embrace it as a starting point for humility and open-mindedness. By acknowledging our inability to predict the future, we create a mental space that allows us to respond more thoughtfully to our feelings and reduce anxiety. This space also empowers us to make choices instead of reacting based on unfounded predictions. Embracing 'I don't know' also reveals our capability to handle whatever comes our way, tapping into our innate resilience. Drawing from Dr. Susan Jeffers' notion that most fears stem from the belief that we 'can't handle' something, Dr. Paul challenges this limiting belief with evidence from our past victories over adversity. Pain and challenge, he explains, do not equate to failure but are part of our human experience, pushing us to learn and grow in ways we may not initially appreciate. Dr. Paul introduces the concept of metacognition, thinking about our own thinking, as a tool for positive change. Recognizing that our practiced thoughts can become habitual, he highlights the value of intentional thinking practices to reprogram our minds. The episode welcomes listeners to explore the Emotional Freedom Challenge, a free opportunity to develop and exercise this cognitive skill, creating more empowerment and emotional resilience. Ultimately, accepting 'I don't know' as a path to possibility allows us to stop rehearsing undesirable futures and positions us to handle whatever reality brings. It's about trusting our capacity to grow and learn, thus choosing a powerful, purposeful stance toward life's uncertainties.
How we treat people often shows what's really happening inside us. This message looks at the kind of posture we need in life: choosing humility, drawing close to God, and letting that change how we speak and act. Instead of tearing others down or judging them, we're invited to become better neighbors, friends, and family members. Real faith doesn't stay hidden—it shows up in how we love people.
In this episode of Live On Purpose Radio, Dr. Paul Jenkins is joined by Talia Riley, a speaker, communication strategist, leadership trainer, and author of the book 'Worthy Now'. Together, they explore the transformative power of recognizing one's intrinsic worth, rather than feeling the need to earn it through achievements or external validation. Talia shares her personal journey of overcoming feelings of inadequacy and how she redefined her sense of self-worth by choosing to feel 'worthy now'. Drawing from her own experiences, including the challenges of motherhood and career, she speaks on how this mindset shift empowered her to embrace her imperfections and love herself fully. Her book outlines 'The Seven Commitments to SOAR', which provides actionable steps for personal and professional leadership. Dr. Paul and Talia dive deep into the crucial distinction between being worthy and feeling worthy. They discuss how realizing one's worth is a realization that can profoundly impact various aspects of life, from leadership roles to personal relationships. Talia illustrates this point with inspiring stories, including how her mindset change opened unexpected doors, like the opportunity to speak internationally. Listeners are invited to explore their own sense of worthiness and take tangible steps towards embracing their inherent value. The episode emphasizes taking action and realizing one's potential as an integral part of living a life of purpose and positivity. Learn more about Talia and her book, Worthy Now, at taliariley.com.
In this message, Cecil Talbot walks through James 4:1–6 and asks three honest questions: Who controls my heart? Where is my heart? What is my “it”? With stories, Scripture, and real-life examples, he shows how our desires, words, choices, and conflicts reveal what is really happening inside us. This message is a clear call to let God search our hearts, remove the noise, and lead us into faithfulness, humility, and the bigger purpose He has for us together.
Dr. Paul Jenkins opens this episode with an intriguing concept: while information today is plentiful and easily accessible, the real challenge lies in transforming that information into something meaningful and impactful. Enter the idea of "containers"—frameworks or contexts that give information its value and relevance. Dr. Paul shares how, despite our unlimited access to information, many feel overwhelmed and unsure of how to initiate real change in their lives. Drawing from his own experience and teachings, Dr. Paul explains that containers help us make sense of the information we consume. They provide the framework needed for transformation by organizing information into something actionable. He discusses how coaching, community, and even the positivity model he developed, serve as examples of effective containers. To bring home the importance of intentional container selection, Dr. Paul touches on societal influences like the news and social media, which can shape our thinking and affect mental health. Choosing the right container can lead to peace, confidence, and hope—key elements in well-being and personal growth. Dr. Paul invites listeners to explore "Positives," a new platform aimed at organizing such meaningful experiences, and encourages them to be deliberate in choosing containers that align with their values and goals.
In this message from James 3:13–18, we learn the difference between worldly wisdom and Godly wisdom. Worldly wisdom is driven by jealousy, selfish ambition, and chaos. Godly wisdom shows up through humility, peace, mercy, and good fruit. Real wisdom is not just knowing the right things—it is living them out. This message invites us to ask God for wisdom, choose wise influences, and become people who bring peace wherever we go.
In this episode, Dr. Paul Jenkins unpacks the concept that your life's experiences are less about the events you face and more about the stories you tell yourself about those events. He emphasizes that circumstances are inherently neutral and it's our brain's evaluation that gives them meaning, which in turn affects our emotions and actions. By understanding this process, Dr. Paul shows us how we can rewrite these internal narratives to foster more positive outcomes in our lives.Dr. Paul illustrates how stories arise from our brain's natural process of evaluation, where it assesses whether situations are safe, dangerous, good, or bad. These stories then influence how we feel and behave. He explains how confirmation bias can make stories self-fulfilling by making us look for evidence that supports our pre-existing beliefs. This episode serves as a powerful reminder that we are the authors of our own narratives, with the ability to reshape them for personal growth.The episode also touches upon how practicing mindfulness and becoming more aware of these internal stories can lead to different choices, ultimately affecting our personal and professional lives positively. Through examples and insights, Dr. Paul guides listeners on how they can shift from destructive narratives to empowering ones, crafting a mindset that fuels peace, confidence, and hope for the future.As Dr. Paul announces the imminent rebranding of the podcast, he introduces listeners to the new Positives platform. This platform is a resource for daily and monthly 'positives' and includes access to personalized coaching to assist in this transformative process, encouraging listeners to be proactive in rewriting their stories for a better, more positive life.
JYour words are way more powerful than you think. This message dives into how one sentence can shape someone's identity, wreck a relationship, or literally change the direction of a life—for good or bad. We talk about reckless “jokes,” gossip, online comments, and the self-talk running in your head 24/7. You'll see how your mouth exposes what's really in your heart, why hurt people hurt people with their words, and how to flip the script—using your voice to speak life, call out potential, and bring healing instead of damage. If you've ever said, “I didn't mean it,” this is for you.
James says your tongue is tiny but terrifyingly powerful. In this message, we unpack how one comment, one DM, one “joke” can actually steer someone's future—or your own. It's not just “watch your mouth”; it's “watch your heart,” because your words expose what's really inside. From AI clapbacks to a martyr who sang at his execution, you'll see how speech can carry shame, healing, death, or life. If you've ever said, “I didn't mean it,” this is for you. Learn how to use your voice with weight, integrity, and real influence.
What do you do when life doesn't look like you thought it would—and your faith starts to feel more like work than love? In this message, we look at what the Bible says about faith and works, and why what you do can't be the core of who you are. Using the story of Mary and Martha, we talk about burnout, cynicism, disappointment, and how to return to your “first love” by sitting at Jesus' feet again. This is for anyone who's tired, confused, or quietly wondering who they are now.
In part two of the Cage Rage Chronicles, promoter Andy Geer reveals how the UK promotion went from regional shows to an international powerhouse that attracted Anderson Silva, Melvin Manhoef, and the biggest names in early 2000s MMA.Mike Davis and Joey Venti continue the deep dive into Cage Rage's explosive rise, the business decisions that built a global brand with almost no TV money, Pride FC crossovers, and the wild behind-the-scenes stories that defined British MMA history.

Drop it below and let us know what you want covered in Part 3
What's the point of saying you care if you never actually help anyone? This message looks at the difference between just talking about love and actually living it out in real life. Through simple stories and examples, it challenges you to ask if your actions really match what you say you believe—and shows practical ways you can start showing real love to people around you this week.
We all play favorites, even when we don't mean to. In this message from James 2, we look at how judging people by looks, money, or status pulls us away from God's heart. God doesn't have “favorite kids” — His love and mercy are for everyone. You'll hear real stories, simple examples, and a clear call to stop ranking people and start showing mercy. Discover what it means to live like the ground is level at the cross, and how mercy can change the way you see and treat others this week.
This message is a straight-up call to action. It's all about not just listening to God's words, but actually living them out. Using James 1, we look at what it means to be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry. We talk about how easy it is to collect sermons, podcasts, and verses—but never change. Real faith shows up in how we talk, how we treat people who can't give us anything back, and how we resist the pull of the world. Don't just hear it. Go do it.
Paul Jenkins, multimedia writer extraordinaire, is back on the Bandits to discuss his highly anticipated return to Marvel Comics, including new stories featuring two of the publisher's most complex heroes: The Sentry and Captain Marvel. Paul reflects on revisiting Bob Reynolds more than two decades after co-creating the character and less than a year after his MCU debut, explores the psychological themes that continue to make The Sentry unique, and shares insights into working with artist Christian Rosado on the latest chapter of the Golden Guardian of Good. The conversation also dives into Captain Marvel: Dark Past, examining Carol Danvers' evolving legacy, the challenges of writing powerful heroes with deeply human flaws, and the themes that connect these new projects. Along the way, Paul looks back on his celebrated Marvel career, discusses characters he'd still love to revisit, and offers fans a glimpse into this exciting new chapter of his storytelling journey.

Life can feel unfair—stress, loss, temptations, and situations you never asked for. This message shows how what you believe about God's love changes the way you face all of it. You'll learn why some people grow bitter while others grow stronger, how our own desires can quietly pull us off course, and how to tell if something is truly good or just looks good for a moment. If you've ever asked, “Why is this happening?” or “Does God really care about me?” this message will help you see your trials in a new way.
Life feels long… until it doesn't. One random moment, one weird accident, and everything can change. This message talks honestly about how short and fragile life really is, why money and stuff never feel like “enough,” and what we're actually building our lives on. If you've ever wondered, “What am I even doing with my life?” this will help you zoom out, see the bigger picture, and start making choices that matter beyond just right now.

Everyone wants joy, but life is full of pain, stress, and hard seasons. So how are we supposed to have joy when everything feels like it's falling apart? This message digs into James 1 and shows that real joy isn't fake smiles or “I'm fine.” Joy is knowing you're not alone—God is with you, and His people are with you. You'll learn how trials can actually strengthen your faith, reveal what you really trust, and why staying connected (instead of isolating) can help you walk through suffering without being crushed by it.
Life doesn't always go as planned. In this message, we look at James, the brother of Jesus, and how God used scattered, stressed-out people to spread hope. We learn that being moved, shaken, or uncomfortable doesn't mean God has left us—it might mean He's sending us. James goes from doubter to strong leader after meeting the risen Jesus. His story calls us to real, everyday faith, not a double life. You'll be challenged to see yourself as a servant of Jesus right where you are—at work, at school, and at home.
Ever feel like your life is about to fall apart, but somehow it doesn't? This message explores what might really be holding things together behind the scenes. Through a powerful story about a boy, his piano, and a messy home, we talk about family, choices, and the quiet love that doesn't give up—even when you walk away. It's for anyone who feels stuck between two worlds, or who wonders if their prayers or tears even matter. If you've ever asked, “Does anyone really care what happens to me?” this is a message you'll want to watch.
We all know how to clean things up on the surface—crop the pic, fix the vibe, hide the mess. But what about the stuff underneath? This message uses real-life yard work, stubborn roots, and annoying weeds to talk about anxiety, money, success, and the hidden patterns that keep growing back no matter how often we “trim” them. You'll see why some things in your life are so hard to change, why burnout keeps returning, and why your inner world matters more than you think. It's not about trying harder; it's about letting the right Gardener work at the roots.
You've heard of the Prodigal Son, but what if the real main character is the Father? This message dives into God's love as unfathomable—not just for the wild child who runs away, but for the “good kid” who stays home, keeps the rules, and still feels empty. Whether you relate more to the partier or the perfectionist, this talk exposes the lie that you have to earn God's love. It is finished. Come hear how a Father sprints toward both sons, tears up the scorecard, and invites you into a grace‑filled party you didn't pay for.
What if you did everything “right” and still felt empty? This message dives into the older brother side of the Prodigal story—the loyal one, the responsible one, the one who never left…but low-key resents everybody else's party. We talk burnout, overachieving, feeling invisible, and the lie that you have to earn love from God or anyone else. If you're exhausted from striving, comparing, or constantly proving you're “enough,” this is for you. Discover a God who isn't a slave driver, and a love you don't have to perform for—you just receive.
Live on Purpose is a timely conversation about how we navigate life's transitions with intention rather than reaction. In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Paul Jenkins, who has spent decades helping individuals and families shift their mindset, reclaim a sense of purpose, and create lasting peace—especially during seasons of change. Together, we explore why transitions often challenge our thinking, how mindset shapes our emotional and physical responses, and what the science of positivity tells us about resilience, hope, and forward movement. When life feels uncertain, learning how to lead your thoughts can make all the difference in how—and how well—you move forward.

Ever feel like you're running on empty, trying to escape your life instead of actually living it? This message dives into why we run — not just out of rebellion, but out of longing, exhaustion, and disappointment. Through the story of a runaway, we unpack regret, shame, and that moment you suddenly think, “How did I get here?” and “Can I even go back?” It's about remembering who you really are, not who your mistakes say you are, and discovering that you don't have to earn your way back to love, purpose, or home.

Dave: Iron Man #3 (Josemaria Casanovas) Alex: Superman #36 (Rod Reis) American Caper Interview: Producer & Additional Writing Lazlow, Editor Shelly Bond, and Finishes Chris Anderson 1. Dan Houser described American Caper as being fueled by his fascination with “hypocrites, sociopaths, political idiots, dysfunctional families, and violence.” When you first saw the concept for this story, what immediately stood out to you as something that felt especially relevant to the moment we're living in? 2. The series pulls together a wild mix of characters. A Mormon hitman, a gambling-addicted lawyer, escaped convicts in love, a billionaire playing cowboy. How did you approach balancing such a large ensemble so the story feels chaotic in a good way rather than overwhelming? 3. Verona, Wyoming feels like a pressure cooker where crime, politics, and personal drama all collide. What was important to you in making this small town feel believable while still allowing it to host such extreme characters and situations? 4. The book leans hard into satire, sometimes feeling like it's taking shots at every side of the political spectrum. Was there ever a concern about walking that line between satire that provokes thought and satire that might alienate readers? 5. The story's interconnected crimes and morally gray characters gave me flashes of crime epics like 100 Bullets, where one event ripples across many lives. When building a narrative this tangled, how do you keep track of the cause and effect between characters? 6. Lazlow, your background includes storytelling in massive open-world games like Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption. Did working on a comic require a different approach to pacing and structure compared to interactive storytelling? 7. (Fun question) If each of you had to survive in Verona, Wyoming for a week, which of these characters would you trust the most to have your back, and which one would you avoid at all costs?
We all love comfort—comfort food, comfort zones, and familiar routines. But what happens when comfort starts holding us back from what God has next? In this message, Paul talks about why we keep wanting to “go back to Egypt,” even when we know it isn't good for us. Using the story of Israel, seasons in the wilderness, and his own funny “pump room” memories, he shows how God grows us through uncomfortable places. You'll be challenged to stop reaching back, embrace small beginnings, and step into the new thing God is doing right now.

Dave: X-Men #27 (Gerald Parel Cover) Chris: Dead Teenagers #1 (Caitlin Yarsky's Variant) Interview: Christian Ward - FOC Mar 16th - Out - Apr 22, 2026 1. You're returning to the world of Event Horizon after Dark Descent. At what point did you know you had the green light to continue this story, and was Inferno always part of your long-term plan, or did it grow out of the response to the first series? 2. The solicitation pitches this as “Aliens meets Dante's Inferno.” That's a big swing. How consciously are you leaning into the structure or themes of Dante's Inferno, and does this story descend through its own version of circles of Hell? 3. Setting the story two hundred years after the original incident gives you a massive time jump. What does that distance allow you to explore that you could not in Dark Descent? 5.5. You have a compelling mix of characters working for the billionaire. How do you balance their personalities and backstories? Do you flesh out a cast, then go, “hmmm i'm mixing X”? 4. The idea of a billionaire assembling a private star fleet to plunder the wreckage feels very modern in its cynicism. Were you intentionally tapping into contemporary anxieties about unchecked wealth and corporate ambition? 6. The gravity drive has always been the heart of the horror in Event Horizon. In Inferno, does the focus shift more toward the metaphysical implications of interdimensional travel, or are we going even harder into physical, visceral terror? 7. Rob Carey joins you on art for this series. What does he bring visually that makes this version of Event Horizon feel distinct from Dark Descent? 7.5. Love the suits these characters wear. How do you design something that's new, but also as cool as something we've seen in a sci-fi movie before? 8. After revisiting this universe twice now, how do you personally define what “Hell” is in Event Horizon? Is it a place, an entity, a force of nature, or something humanity carries with it into the stars?
