In this episode, Dr. Leelo Bush reflects on the power of conviction and courage, drawing inspiration from Charlie Kirk's “Never Surrender” message. She parallels his example with the calling of Christian coaches, counselors, and leaders to live and teach boldly, even through difficult times and opposition. Dr. Bush shares practical coaching tools rooted in Scripture to help clients clarify convictions, transform grief into purpose, practice courage, and leave a Christ-centered legacy.

This is more than a tribute to Charlie Kirk. It's a conversation about how his message of courage and conviction can inspire us as Christian coaches, counselors, and ministry leaders. This is today's topic. Welcome to the Christian Coaching School podcast. I'm your host, Dr. Leelo Bush. I'm a master coach, author, curriculum creator, and the number one authority on Spirit-led Christian coaching. I've trained tens of thousands worldwide since 2003. And if you are ready to uplevel your skills, find greater fulfillment, and employ the most powerful coaching available to mankind—let's go. Welcome, friends. I'm Dr. Leelo Bush, your host. I pioneered Spirit-led Christian life coaching more than 20 years ago and wrote the first comprehensive Christian coaching handbook, now in its second edition. Through my academies and training programs, I have helped believers around the world discover how to coach and counsel with the wisdom of Scripture, the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and the tools of transformation that change lives. I'm honored to have you with me today. Charlie poured his heart into building a movement to save America. He believed in young people. He believed in ordinary Americans. And he believed that even in our darkest hours, America was the beacon of goodness, freedom, and truth. And he gave his life for that. Our task now is not only to protect what he built, but to grow it bigger, stronger, and bolder than anyone ever thought possible. And look around you—it's happening. God took his one voice, and when the enemy came against him, multiplied it thousands and thousands of times greater. As a first-generation American and daughter of parents who fled communism, faith, freedom, and opportunity are hallmarks to everything I do and believe in. Charlie lived his life with boldness. He was unafraid to step into the public square and declare what he believed to be true. His motto, as his family shared, was “Never surrender.” He knew what it meant to take the heat, to endure criticism, and to keep going. Whether or not we agreed with him on every point, there was no denying that he embodied a spirit of courage that calls all of us higher. He leaves behind a legacy of boldness and impact, reminding us that one life lived with conviction can awaken a generation. For me, his life echoes the same conviction that God placed in my heart years ago when He called me to pioneer Christian life coaching. I remember when the idea of Spirit-led coaching was new, even unrecognized. And when it emerged, there was opposition from the old guard who thought coaching this way was too spiritual, too radical. There was no roadmap but the one God gave me. Yes, He gave me the vision, and I wrote the first Spirit-led Christian coaching textbook so that believers everywhere could have a biblical, Spirit-filled foundation for helping others. Since then, thousands have been trained, certified, and sent into the world as coaches and counselors who carry Christ's love and transformation to countless lives. That work continues today through many programs: Christian life coaching, Christian counseling, grief coaching, stress relief coaching, wellness, and so much more. These are all branches of the same tree that God planted in me. At the conclusion of this episode, I encourage you to visit the Academy. I know you have many options when it comes to training, and yes, you can invest far more or far less than our tuition. But here's the truth: you won't find training of greater value anywhere, at any price. Why am I so confident? Since I pioneered Spirit-led Christian coaching in 2003 and literally wrote the book on it, we have never stopped refining, improving, and aligning our programs with the unchanging, infallible Word of God. The results speak for themselves. Our students' lives are transformed, and through them God's power ripples outward, impacting families, communities, and nations for His glory. This is why so many of our graduates return again and again for more training. They know what we offer simply cannot be found anywhere else. In addition, we are honored to provide financial support opportunities, including tuition assistance for veterans and the Kingdom Impact Scholarship Program. Remember: God calls us to be evenly yoked in our relationships, in business, and even more importantly, in who we choose to learn from. Select your training with the same discernment you would use to choose your church. It's that important. Visit PCCCA.org/courses. While you're there, explore our programs. Pray for guidance, and when you're ready, enroll with confidence knowing you have found the right place. Your calling to impact lives is too important to wait. And when I reflect on Charlie Kirk's “Never Surrender” message, I see a bridge between his example and what we are called to do in coaching and counseling. He showed what it looks like to stand firm in public life. We are called to help people stand firm in their personal lives in the face of grief, loss, confusion, or pressure to compromise their values. Our role is to give clients the tools to find their courage, to clarify their convictions, and to live in a way that builds a legacy for Christ. So let's make this practical. One tool you can use is something I call the Conviction Clarifier. Invite your client or group to write down three values they will not surrender no matter what. Ask them: if your life were on display, what would you want people to see about you? Then help them define behaviors that show those values and identify what it would look like to compromise them. When they put those convictions into clear words, it becomes a compass for their life. Another tool is what I call the Grief-to-Purpose Mapping. All of us have experienced loss. Instead of letting grief silence us, we can let it fuel us. Ask your client: what did you lose, and what did you gain in strength or insight because of it? Then challenge them to map one concrete action that channels that new strength into serving others—maybe it's writing a book, starting a group, or simply encouraging someone who is hurting. In this way, grief becomes the soil for new growth. You can also practice what I call the Courage Role Play. Create a scenario where your client feels pressured to back down or stay silent. Play the role of that pressure. Then let them practice standing firm calmly and respectfully. Afterwards, debrief what felt strong and what felt shaky. This helps them prepare to live out their convictions in real life with grace and confidence. And then one of my favorite exercises is the Legacy Letter. Invite your client to imagine writing a letter to a future grandchild, describing the kind of life they lived and the values they stood for. This draws their focus away from the stress of today and helps them live in a way that their future self and future generations will admire. Scripture reinforces every one of these tools. Joshua 1:9 tells us, “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid. Do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” Second Timothy 1:7 says, “God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind.” And Hebrews 12 reminds us to run with perseverance, fixing our eyes on Jesus, who endured opposition so that we would not grow weary. Those words anchor us as we encourage others to never surrender. So the question is: who do we need to become? If our lives were held up as examples the way Charlie Kirk's is now, what would people see? Would they see courage or compromise? Would they see faith or fear? Would they see a legacy that points to Christ, or a life that's simply drifting along? As Christian coaches, counselors, and leaders, we are called to embody courageous conviction, spiritual authenticity, resilience, rest, and legacy-minded living. That means we must walk the talk, so that when people look at us, they don't just hear words—they see a life that demonstrates what is possible in Christ. So here's my challenge to you: define one conviction you will never surrender. Write it down. Share it with someone you trust. And then live it out this week in a tangible way. Help your clients and groups do the same. Teach them to clarify their convictions, to transform grief into purpose, to practice courage, and to think about the legacy they will leave. As we close, let's return once more to Charlie's words: “If you believe in something, you need to have the courage to fight for those ideas, not run away from them, or try and silence them.” Let's take that to heart, not only in the public arena, but in the private battles of life—in the moments of grief, and in the coaching sessions where we help others rise to their calling. Let's pray. Lord, we thank You for examples of courage that stir us to live more boldly. Teach us to never surrender to fear or compromise, but to stand firm in truth, to comfort those who mourn, and to raise up leaders who will impact the world for Your glory. May our lives be legacies that point to Christ. In Jesus' name, Amen. Until next time, remember this: never surrender to fear, never surrender to grief, and never surrender your calling. Live with conviction, coach with courage, and leave a legacy that will echo for generations. Before you go, I want to personally invite you to join our private Facebook group, The Courageous Christian Coaching Tribe. This is where bold, Spirit-led coaches and aspiring coaches gather to grow, get equipped, and stay encouraged together. Inside you will find exclusive tips, training, supportive community, and the kind of Kingdom-minded conversations you just can't find anywhere else. If you're feeling called to coach, or if you want to stay sharp in your calling, this is your place. Our group culture is each one, bring one—so invite a friend to join you. The more the merrier. Just go to facebook.com/groups/courageouschristiancoachingtribe (no spaces). Or just tap the link in the show notes. But don't wait, because the sooner you join, the sooner we can start pouring into you. And I will see you inside the Tribe.
In this episode of the Modern Man podcast, Ted Phaeton and Craig Filek delve into the concept of purpose mapping, a framework designed for high-achieving midlife men who feel unfulfilled despite their success. They discuss the journey of self-discovery, the importance of community, and the challenges men face in seeking help. Craig shares insights on navigating the second mountain of life, the role of fatherhood in personal development, and the barriers that prevent men from pursuing their true purpose. The conversation emphasizes the need for connection, the significance of understanding one's purpose, and the transformative power of bold communication. Takeaways Purpose mapping helps men find clarity in their lives. The journey of self-discovery is essential for fulfillment. More money does not equate to happiness. Fatherhood is a powerful catalyst for personal growth. Men often feel lost after achieving traditional success. Community and connection are vital for men's well-being. The second mountain represents a deeper purpose in life. Overcoming fear is crucial for personal development. Men need to embrace vulnerability to seek help. Clarity in purpose can reignite passion and drive.

Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Purpose is a story through which we map the world around us in meaning, and plan our particular journey to better. Going somewhere means knowing where you've been, where you are, and where you could get to. Purpose is a map, not a reality. It is always possible to upgrade that map and to improve it, and to map a better trajectory through life or through the future of our businesses. If you solve the bigger problems, first, the smaller problems will more likely take care of themselves. So if we are a global leader, in addressing the world's biggest problems it will be easier to find a way forwards for our economy as part of being the solution to the world's biggest problems. We need to remain always willing to upgrade our purpose when a changing world makes that desirable. ABOUT OUR GUEST: Paul Skinner is the author of The Purpose Upgrade: Change your Business to Save the World. Change the World to Save your Business, which Mike Berners-Lee, author of There Is No Planet B, described as, ‘...a necessary and enlightening call to action for businesses to re-think why they exist and the implications for everything they say, think and do'. Paul's previous book Collaborative Advantage: How Collaboration Beats Competition as a Strategy for Success was described by Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, Co-founders of Ben and Jerry's ice cream, as, 'the perfect recipe for successful businesses that improve lives. He also runs MarketingKind, a non-profit professional membership community, and the Agency of the Future, through which he helps clients to drive purpose-led change and better mobilise stakeholders for lasting success.

In so many of the 375 interviews I’ve done, Veterans talk about their journey to find a new purpose in life. That’s come up in countless conversations with friends of mine who didn’t serve in the military - I think it’s a pretty fundamental part of what makes us human. That’s why - as many of you know - earlier this year I teamed up with Craig Filek to co-lead a program called Purpose Mapping - to help people in the military as well as military veterans and military family members identify their current purpose in life. That’s a pretty lofty mission, and I’m humbled to say that - two cohorts of this group later - we are delivering on that promise. For today’s episode, I invited two people from our latest cohort onto the show to talk about their own journey to uncover their life’s purpose. I’m so grateful that they were both willing to do so - it is obviously deeply personal work, and so I admire their courage and willingness to talk about this. I love both of today’s guests. They represent two very different perspectives - one on Active Duty for many years to come, the other several years out of the military. They are siblings as well, which made for a really incredible experience. I just wrapped up spending 12 weeks with them and the rest of the group and greatly admire and respect both of them and so am honored to have them share their stories on the show. If you are interested in this - it is something I deeply believe in and am committed to continuing to do. If you’re listening to the show in real-time, on November 18th at 6pm Pacific we’ll be hosting a free 90 minute webinar where you can experience this first-hand. Do not wait to reserve your spot - go to BeyondTheUniform.org/puprose to get more info and claim your free spot. that is BeyondTheUniform.org/purpose -I’d love to see you there, I’d love the chance to work with you, and I would LOVE to get this work in front of more members of the military community. So please help me in spreading the word - again that is BeyondTheUniform.org/purpose.
Why Listen: Purpose is one of the most cited things on this show. In 350 episodes, I cannot count the number of my guests who have talked about how they have struggled to find their next purpose once they leave the military. I experienced this... and I've experienced multiple times since I left the military over 10 years ago. In this episode, I have Craig Filek back on the show to talk about his Purpose Mapping work. Craig and I just finished up a 10 week course with 5 veterans, and we share some of our takeaways from this work. Be sure to sign up for our FREE 90-minute webinar, where you can start to uncover your purpose and mission in life @ https://beyondtheuniform.org/purpose-mapping-webinar

No matter what you want your clinic to become, it still all boils down to understanding why you exist as a business in the first place. Countless numbers of episodes in this show have been spent discussing the importance of determining your clinic’s purpose. However, what is not talked much about is the importance of determining your personal purpose. In this episode, Nathan Shields speaks with Craig Filek of Purpose Mapping to shine a light on why having the clarity of your own motivations and purpose in life is just as crucial as that of your business’. He talks about how it allows you to see what needs to be prioritized and what needs to be let go, making you feel accomplished instead of stressed or overwhelmed. Get in touch with your true self and practice acting in alignment with it. Eventually, you will find yourself feeling more free and certain about your actions because, at the end of the day, your company’s purpose and values are simply an extension of yours. Love the show?

Life and purpose hacks with Craig Filek - One of our favorite episodes to record with a friend of the podcast. Craig Filek gives outstanding perspective on mapping purpose with your life.
Why Listen: Many of the guests I’ve had on the show talk about their struggle to find a new purpose after they leave the military. I struggled with that as well, but - spoiler alert - that doesn’t end when you leave the military. I’m 39 right now, I’ve been out of the Navy for over 10 years, and I’ve been working on this same question for the last several months. That’s what actually led me to today’s guest, Craig. Craig and I met through John Wineland’s Emobdied Men’s Leadership Training - that’s the yearlong program I’ve talked about before on Beyond the Uniform. We were in the same small group of seven people, which meant we’ve spent hundreds of hours together this last year. However, it wasn’t until recently that I discovered Craig’s superpower: helping people find their purpose. Today’s interview is different, because Craig and I have spent about four hours together over the last couple of weeks working on helping me clarify my purpose and current mission in life. We actually rolled right into this interview after an hour together of some pretty heavy duty work together. I deeply believe in the importance of this process - of finding one’s purpose, of having clarity about what one is seeking in life. I believe in it for myself and for our audience. So, you can view today’s episode as part one of a much bigger offering. Craig and I will be hosting a 90-minute webinar about Purpose Mapping, where you’ll get a worksheet and make significant headway towards refining your purpose in life. If you sign up for our webinar - either to attend live, or to watch the recording after the fact - we’re also going to include a variety of videos from my own work on this. I’ll show you an honest look of what this process has looked like for me. It hasn’t been easy, but honestly the weeks since Craig and I met have been incredible. There’s a lightness in being closer to identifying what my mission is right now - of being able to say “no” to things more easily and “yes” to things where I otherwise might be hesitant. Be sure to signup for the webinar if you’re at all interested in this topic. There’ll be links in the show notes for this episode, as well as on the Events page of BeyondTheUniform.org if you’re listening to this in real-time, or in the “on-demand webinar” section of our website if you’re listening this in the far-distant future. Craig and I are collaborating on a lot more in this arena, and the best way to stay abreast of that journey as it unfolds is by registering for the webinar. About Craig: Craig is a a father, a depth coach and a highly attuned facilitator bringing over 20 years of experience in transformative men’s work, shadow work and authentic relating to the unique process for radically clarifying your purpose, making a powerful contribution and stepping into your flow. Enriched by a decade of applied study in Ken Wilber’s Integral Philosophy, and a founding member of the Integral Center in Boulder, CO, Craig's work is informed by the factors that precipitate growth and development in human systems.

On this episode of She Rises, Host Giovanna Capozza talks to Craig Filek, philosopher and purpose mapper, about finding your purpose. Craig Filek was a philosophy major and has developed a unique system for finding your purpose. Craig applied integral critical thinking to personality information and psychology and philosophy and came up with a few key ideas. Craig experienced an excruciating existential moment of angst that made him say yes to his “call to adventure.” Craig talks about where he guides people when they have an idea of their purpose, but they’re not sure how to fulfill it. There are four quadrants to your purpose, and one of them is your strengths. You need to have a vision for your purpose. You need to have a mission in service of developing your strengths to give your contribution to the world. You need to ask yourself, what’s the one thing I can do today that makes success inevitable? If you don’t care about finding your purpose, you live on the golden hamster wheel until you get fed up with it. Getting good at going through transformational periods is important because they just don’t stop. Craig’s Message: Don’t fight your environment, it’s too powerful – structure your environment to work for you. Craig talks about how building your contribution system around your flow state helps you make money from your purpose. Tweetable Quotes “Purpose is the reason something exists.” “The only thing we can really know is that we exist.” “If you’re always focused on the next right step, you’ll get there.” “You can transform your life and live an authentic life that helps you live in flow every day.” Resources Mentioned She Rises Website Ken Wilbur – Philosopher Purpose Mapping– Craig’s website Tony Robbins Steven Covey Michael Gerber [coolcastplayer id="43"]

Interview with the founder of Purpose Mapping Craig Filek.
Can you answer this question: What’s your life purpose? Most of you might not have a very good answer. When Bill asks high-achievers this question, only about 10-20% of them can answer honestly. People who know what their life purpose is have a competitive edge over everyone else. Find out the steps you need to take to discover your purpose, in this week’s episode. Craig Filek is the Founder of Purpose Mapping, a tool to help high-achievers find meaning and purpose in their life. He holds over two decades of experience when it comes to inner work, authenticity, and agile entrepreneurship. He built what he thought would be his ideal life, only to walk away from it all and focus on what really matters — raising his family and living his purpose. When Craig was introduced to The E Myth, by Michael Gerber, he did the Primary Aim exercises every six weeks for about a year to really hone down on ‘what’ his purpose was. A few years passed by and a couple of career changes later, Craig decided it was time to start Purpose Mapping in 2010. Our identity is so tied up in the work we do. When we no longer work, we can sometimes start to have an identity crisis. And even then, some executives will suffer from depression after they’ve hit their personal and professional goals because they are left with a void of ‘what’s next?’. They have the vacation house and the high-status job, but those things do not sustain them emotionally or mentally. This is where purpose comes in. How do you find your purpose? Craig found his purpose almost by accident. As an adopted child, he had an intense desire to answer the question, “Who am I?” Through taking several personality tests and introspection, the same keywords started showing up for Craig. When you feel fear, that’s when you know you’re at the edge of your comfort zone and in order for you to get into your ‘flow’ state, you have to jump off that cliff. There are things we do that take us out of our flow state and end up sabotaging our success. Every one of us has shame, but the people who face their shame end up not letting it spill out into the rest of their lives. By owning up to our flaws, we are able to dig even deeper into who we are and find out our purpose in life.
