In Get Well Soon: Week One, Pastor Aaron McRae unpacks what it truly means to experience lasting transformation through Jesus. While the world often offers band-aid solutions to deep pain, Jesus goes straight to the heart—because real change starts within.Through Mark 7 and other key scriptures, Pastor Aaron contrasts outward traditions with the inward renewal Jesus brings. He challenges us to stop focusing on appearances or quick fixes and instead allow Jesus to purify our hearts, where sin and brokenness originate. This message is for anyone longing for wholeness, healing, and hope that only Christ can give.Key ScripturesMark 7:1–23 – Jesus teaches that defilement comes from the heartMatthew 23 – Cleaning the inside firstActs 10 & 15 – God purifies hearts by faithRomans 1:21; 3:23–24; 6:23; 10:9–10 – The heart of the gospelPsalm 51:10 – “Create in me a pure heart”James 4:8 – Purify your heartsMark 12:30 – Love God with all your heartKey Resources & Quotes-The Relational Soul by Cofield & Plass — “Change is possible, but it is harder than we want and takes longer than we expect.”-M.

Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes How to Build Your Bridge to Real Change September 11, 2025 | Episode 5179 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Scott shares his mind-blowing experience at a Christian worship conference with 2,500 leaders and reveals the life-changing bridge concept he uses with every coaching client. This isn't your typical "just make a plan" advice. Scott breaks down the real reason most people get stuck halfway to their goals and why timing your leap matters more than you think. If you've ever started something and never finished it, or jumped too soon and crashed, this episode will change how you approach any major life transition. Featured Story Scott stepped way outside his comfort zone at a four-and-a-half-day worship conference, spending 15 hours in what he calls "a highly meditative state." This unexpected experience with 2,500 worship leaders opened his eyes to the power of surrounding yourself with like-minded people heading in the same direction. Even though he's still processing what happened, the lesson was clear: sometimes you've got to dive into tribes that align with your growth, even when you're not "over the top" about everything they do. Important Points Meet yourself where you are right now, not where you used to be or where you want to be, because that's the only place real change can begin. Build a peaceful, stable foundation in your current life before attempting any major transition, or you'll end up with two unstable messes instead of one. The magic happens at about 70% completion when you have enough momentum to make the leap, but most people either quit too early or wait too long. Memorable Quotes "Meet yourself where you are. Because a lot of y'all are reaching back in time with the person you used to be. And some of y'all are stuck on who you want to be." "I work with stable people. I don't work with unstable people." "Build your bridge, stand up, take a step, repeat. Just keep going until you get the other side. Easy peasy." Scott's Three-Step Approach Stabilize your current foundation by getting bills paid, life organized, and creating a peaceful base where you are today before making any major moves. Research and begin building the foundation for where you want to go, whether that's school, a new career, or major life change, and start putting pieces in motion. Wait until you're about 70% ready, then take the leap with enough momentum and stability to succeed on both sides of your bridge.

What does it take to bring true innovation into one of the world's most risk-averse industries? In this episode of Bridging the Gap, Todd and Ryan unpack how to move from breakthrough technology to real-world adoption. The discussion explores why being honest about where you really are matters more than hype, how simplicity often beats complexity, and why economics ultimately drive scalability. If you've ever wondered how sustainable solutions can shift from pilot projects to global impact, this conversation delivers a grounded look at making change stick. Ryan shares insights on the significance of cement in climate change, the evolution of tech adoption in the industry, and the future of construction. He emphasizes the need for collaboration with traditional cement producers and the importance of financial mechanisms to support innovation.   MEET OUR GUEST Ryan Gilliam is co-founder and CEO of Fortera, a low-carbon cement manufacturer focused on paving the way to zero CO2 cement. Gilliam is a serial entrepreneur who has dedicated his career to solving climate issues. Specifically, Gilliam has focused on decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors like cement, energy, and petrochemicals. He has over 100 granted patents focused on electrochemical, chemical, and materials technologies for the beneficial reuse of carbon emissions, green hydrogen production, and more environmentally friendly chemical manufacturing. In addition to his role at Fortera, Gilliam also serves on the Board of Directors of Verdagy, a company he founded that is innovating advanced electrolysis technology for the large-scale production of green hydrogen.   TODD TAKES Be Honest About Where You Really Are True innovation starts with being brutally honest about your current reality. Don't oversell the data or the promise—know exactly where you stand and what's realistically possible. Grounded in Reality Beats Cool Tech Shiny technology isn't enough. What actually gets adopted is what's practical, scalable, and simple to integrate. Sometimes the smartest move is choosing simplicity over complexity. Economics Drive Scalability Change doesn't scale because it's exciting—it scales because the economics work. For any new process or product to truly take off, it has to compete on cost as much as on performance.   CHAPTERS 00:00 Introduction to Sustainable Cement Innovation 00:54 Ryan's Journey into Climate Sustainability 02:36 Lessons Learned from Early Ventures 04:42 Navigating Risk Aversion in the Cement Industry 06:43 The Importance of Cement in Climate Change 08:50 Transforming Ideas into Reality 11:00 Collaborating with Traditional Cement Producers 12:38 Simplifying Technology for Adoption 16:05 Balancing Innovation and Practicality 17:27 Key Levers for Low Carbon Cement Adoption 19:17 Evolution of Mindset in Tech Adoption 20:49 Future of Construction and Cement 23:02 Myths Surrounding Cement Adoption 24:15 Advice for Innovators in Risk-Averse Industries 26:02 Defining Innovation and Its Impact 28:06 The Need for Financial Mechanisms in Innovation   MORE RESOURCES  Thanks for listening!

What if real change doesn't begin with institutions, campaigns, or capital — but with the people we invite into our lives?In this episode, Eric sits down with Amanda Litman, co-founder of Run for Something and author of When We're In Charge, to explore how small, human-scale actions can spark transformational impact — from politics to parenting to how we rebuild our social lives post-pandemic.Amanda has helped 225,000+ people raise their hands to run for office — and she's just getting started. In this candid conversation, she breaks down how we show up, lead, connect, and fundraise in ways that build community rather than extract from it.Episode Highlights:[00:00] What if real change starts with people — not policy, profit, or programs? [02:49] Amanda's three-pronged theory of social change: electoral power, workplace culture, and human relationships [04:25] The power of “casual hosting” to rebuild adult friendships and community [07:11] Why digital connection often feels empty — and what we can do about it [09:12] Designing invitations people can say “yes” to — both in life and in leadership [11:58] Fundraising is broken. Here's how we fix it without losing integrity [14:48] “Don't treat your supporters like crap.” Amanda on the ethics of political messaging [18:48] How millennials are redefining leadership in the workplace [21:29] Why personality — not brand — is key to breaking through on new media [24:18] What keeps Amanda going when everything feels impossible [26:21] The origin story of Run for Something and what's coming next Notable Quotes:“If work sucks less, people can be better parents, partners, and citizens.” — Amanda Litman [03:20] “Don't treat your supporters like crap. If you've told them the sky is falling for ten years — what now that it's actually falling?” — Amanda Litman [16:05] “I only drink the poison I have the antidote for.” — Amanda Litman [25:06] “Organizations can't really tell a story. A person can.” — Amanda Litman [22:43] “We make it easy to say yes — whether it's dinner or running for office.” — Amanda Litman [09:12]P.S. — Struggling to align your message with your mission?

When we think about digital transformation, most people picture engineers, coders, or the CIO. But the real heroes often sit outside of IT - people like Becky in Finance, HR leaders, procurement teams, and legal advisors. In this episode, Kat and Pete dive into why transformation only sticks when organisations empower these unsung heroes. From employee experience to automation, self-service, and AI, we explore how everyday change agents are driving sustainable innovation.

This week Pastor Brandon continues our series, "We are Metro". Teaching us, that in order to get to where God wants us to be, we must be willing to grow; to see real change in our lives.Support the show

You don't need more information; you need interruption. This episode cuts through the noise of conventional self-improvement and exposes the core contradiction sabotaging high-functioning women every day: the gap between what you know and how you actually live. You've read the books, checked every box, recited the affirmations. But inside, you're circling, chasing clarity but defaulting to old performances. Insight feels good. Integration costs something. Emotional mastery isn't therapy. It's a full-scale rewiring, a spiritual, cognitive, and strategic recalibration that stops the outsourcing of your knowing and returns you to self-trust and embodied clarity. Inside this episode, you'll learn: Why understanding is not integration, and why most self-help keeps you in elegant stasisHow to recognize the subtle difference between action and alignment (and why hustle is often just avoidance in heels)The true sign of emotional maturity: how fast you recover your center, not how well you perform for applause Here's your call to action: Pause the chase. Ask yourself what God has made unshakably clear, and refuse to move until you've anchored back to that core. If you're ready to unlearn the patterns that keep you circling, reach out and RESET. This episode is not for anyone content with sounding wise but living in contradiction.  00:00:47 – The Gap Between Knowing & Living 00:01:25 – Action vs. Alignment 00:02:34 – Why Women Get Stuck 00:03:18 – Mischelle's Story: The Music Dream 00:05:49 – Learning to Listen for Alignment 00:06:41 – Integration Begins Internally 00:07:27 – Slowing Down to Break the Cycle 00:09:07 – Insight vs. Integration 00:09:28 – Cognitive Restructuring & Spiritual Renewal 00:10:27 – Becoming vs. Fixing 00:11:12 – The High-Functioning Trap 00:11:53 – Signs of Integration 00:12:34 – Consistency & Anchoring 00:13:29 – Living with Alignment 00:14:30 – The Pain of Misalignment 00:15:41 – The Cost of Not Integrating 00:16:49 – Reflective Questions for Integration 00:17:38 – Integration as a Daily Practice 00:18:22 – Real Change is a Process 00:18:46 – You're Not Starting from Scratch

195 This may be one of the most important episodes you will hear to make your marriage the one you want it to be. Especially if, like so many women, you wonder “Why should I be the one to do the work on our relationship?” Or you feel burdened or resentful that you seem to be alone in working on your marriage. Or if it just seems unfair that a lot of relationship advice is directed at women, when men have so much to learn when it comes to having a great relationship. If you're feeling that way, I get it. I've been there. AND it is making it HARDER to have the loving, connected, mutually supportive marriage you want with your spouse. In this episode, you'll hear why. And why this line of thinking is leading to an almost epidemic of women being unhappy in their marriages. What I want most is for you to feel deeply fulfilled in your relationship–and you want that too! So we've got to address this. Because trying to create deeper, better love from a sense of burden and resentment will never work. You didn't get married to just tolerate your relationship. You signed up for something way better than that. You want to truly enjoy your marriage. And like it or not, that means you WILL have to work for it, no matter how much your partner is also working on it. But it can be fun, even joyful. In fact, in this episode, I share how I work on my marriage every single day---with joy, passion, and feeling like it's a sacred honor that I GET to do–and how you can, too. Listen to this episode to move past the burden and resentment that comes from feeling like you have to do this work with no or very little help from your spouse, and so you can feel truly empowered to do what it takes to make your marriage what you want it to be.SHOW NOTES:Join Hannah for 4 months of private 1:1 Marriage Coaching, and get her deep, super individualized support to make your marriage more full of security, connection, love, and mutual support than ever.

"It's not what you look at that matters. It's what you see that makes all the difference." – Henry David Thoreau If it feels like you've been grinding toward change but not getting anywhere… there's a good chance the problem isn't what you're doing. It's how you're seeing. In this episode, Kevin digs into the hidden force that shapes every choice you make: perspective. Most people never question theirs. They keep looking at challenges the same way and wondering why the result never changes. The truth is, nothing shifts until you do. You'll learn: How to spot when your perspective is quietly working against you Why “working harder” is often the wrong move Simple mindset pivots that create momentum and make change stick The one question that instantly reframes almost any challenge Whether you're leading a team, running a business, or leading yourself through a season of change, this conversation will help you stop pushing against the same wall—and start building the door that takes you through it.

If you haven't checked it out already, explore the Sedona Desert Reset—a transformational retreat designed to help you reset, recharge, and return with clarity. It's where breakthroughs happen, distractions disappear, and you finally get the space to reconnect with yourself.

In this final episode of my three-part series, I explore what happens when a client doesn't want to talk. Whether they're silent, shut down, or resisting the moment is rich with information, not failure. I'll guide you through how to recognize the power of presence, how to stay grounded when words are few, and how co-regulation begins not with fixing, but with holding space. If you're a practitioner, teacher, or healer, this one's especially for you.

Change isn't easy—and recovery even less so. In this episode, we dive deep into the uncomfortable truth that sacrifice is often the price of progress. Whether you're navigating personal transformation, healing from past wounds, or breaking free from destructive cycles, giving something up is often the first step forward. Join us as we explore what it really means to let go, why it's necessary, and how sacrifice can become the foundation for lasting growth and recovery.

Even on paths designed for deep transformation, we often resist the very changes that would liberate us. In this episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha explore the symbolic meaning of the cart demon (Śakaṭāsura) from Krishna's pastimes—and how it represents the dead weight we carry in the form of outdated beliefs, mechanical rituals, and spiritual pride. Drawing on insights from Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura and the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, they challenge us to ask: are we actually changing, or just performing? If you've ever felt like you're dragging around a cart full of spiritual dead weight, this one's for you. ********************************************************************* LOVE THE PODCAST?

In this episode I explore what happens after the pain starts to subside, those powerful moments of relief that so often get brushed aside. This is where real change begins. You'll hear how to help your clients (or yourself) recognize what's present when pain is gone, and why naming that new sensation- calm, spaciousness, stability, creates the foundation for lasting nervous system and movement repatterning. We're not just chasing symptom relief; we're cultivating a felt sense of safety, awareness, and inner trust.

In today's episode, I sit down with Craig Siegel, a coach, entrepreneur, and speaker whose mission is to help people break free from self-imposed limits and step fully into their purpose. We talk about the power of humility, the challenge of releasing defensiveness, and the importance of aligning with something bigger than yourself. Craig shares how studying Kabbalah and A Course in Miracles transformed his mindset and helped him operate from a higher level of consciousness. Together, we explore how faith, awareness, and tough love can unlock lasting personal growth and create a ripple effect that inspires others to do the same.

Leadership in complex times isn't about having all the answers; it's about knowing how to create the conditions for learning, trust, and growth. In this #shifthappens episode, Nate Allen, retired Army officer and co-author of Taking the Guidon, reflects on what it really takes to lead through uncertainty. From psychological safety to leadership development that spans generations, Nate unpacks lessons shaped in high-stakes environments and shows how they translate to today's business challenges. We explore how leaders can respond with intention, learn from the edges of their organization, run “safe to fail” experiments, and turn reflection into a daily habit.

In this episode, I'm kicking off a new three-part series called The Mechanics of Real Change. I'm diving deep into what I've seen over the past 30 years truly helps people get out of pain, and stay out. I share a story from a recent cycling trip in Italy that helped me see, once again, how solid biomechanics create the foundation for lasting change. You'll hear why more effort isn't always better, how pain-free movement can spark powerful mindset shifts, and why that “my pain went down” moment is one of the most critical and often overlooked parts of healing. Whether you're a practitioner or someone working through your own pain, this episode is your invitation to move with more clarity, build meaningful capacity, and stop waiting for your body to break down before you pay attention.

In this fifth episode of the 6-part InPowered Life Method series, Rudi Riekstins dives into one of the most overlooked yet critical parts of transformation: reflection and integration. If you've ever found yourself stuck, unsure why progress stalls, this episode offers a framework to help you pause, assess, and move forward with intention. Learn the four pillars of powerful integration—from micro course corrections to stacking success evidence—and discover how to become the CEO of your own life. In this episode, you'll learn:Real transformation requires time for self-reflection, not just actionDaily, weekly, and monthly check-ins ensure alignment with your goalsFeedback from others offers a valuable, objective lens for growthCourse correction should be small and strategic, not overwhelmingTracking and stacking success builds confidence and momentumYour failures are not the end—they're catapults for growthIntegration anchors your progress and keeps you in intentional motion

What if the real reason you feel stuck isn't the strategy… but the story you're believing underneath it? In this episode, I'm getting real about why surface-level fixes—like grinding harder or switching up your to-do list—don't actually create lasting transformation. I share a moment from my own business where I hit a plateau and thought the answer was more action… when really, it was about going deeper. Because friend, the fruit (your results) will always reflect the root (your beliefs). If you've ever wondered why you keep hitting the same walls despite doing all the things—this episode is going to hit home. We're talking identity, belief, healing, and the inner shifts that truly create outer change. Let's get to the root.
