Or maybe you're staring at that untouched vision board wondering where the hell the time went. Wherever you're at, here's the truth: Being off track doesn't mean you're out of the race.

This morning, hear this loud and clear: It's never too late to reset. Not too late to do better. Not too late to do different. Not too late to elevate your mindset, raise your standards, or detox your heart from bitterness and refill it with joy.Some of us are stuck on repeat—not because we don't know there's another way, but because we've grown cozy with familiarity. We fear what people might say. We fear what the change might cost. But can we keep it real? ‘Sometimes, the only thing standing between you and your next level is your fear of the accountability that elevation demands.CLOSING SONG: VaShawn Mitchell - Turning Around For Me (Live)www.BibleDeliverance.org

In this deeply reflective solo episode of the Reason to Behold podcast, Arnold unpacks the provocative statement: “The outcome you are seeking is on the other side of the death you're refusing to die.” Drawing from personal experience and biblical truths, he explores the powerful connection between sacrifice, spiritual surrender, and tangible results in different areas of life — from faith and business to relationships, career, and health. If you've ever felt stuck despite your efforts, this episode will challenge and encourage you to take stock of the real cost of the goals you desire — and to ask whether you're truly willing to pay it. Key Discussion Points 00:00 – Opening Thought: The Death We Refuse to Die Arnold opens the episode with the compelling idea that progress is often blocked by the sacrifices we avoid making. 01:16 – The Gospel Blueprint: Salvation Required a Price He draws parallels between Christ's death and the need for believers to die to pride and self-reliance in order to receive eternal life. 03:16 – Count the Cost: Biblical & Practical Wisdom Arnold highlights scriptures where Jesus teaches the importance of understanding what it takes to finish what we start. 04:23 – Misjudging the Real Cost of Our Goals From promotions to marriage to entrepreneurship, Arnold explains how we often underestimate the price of our ambitions. 06:30 – Taking Stock: Are You on the Right Track? Arnold challenges listeners to honestly evaluate whether their current efforts align with their desired outcomes. 08:42 – Health, Fitness, and Long-Term Commitment A personal reflection on a decade-long fitness journey reveals the need for perseverance, review, and realignment. 10:50 – Walking with God Through Adjustments He speaks to the power of humility and the role of divine partnership in making course corrections. 12:23 – Following Jesus Comes with Ongoing Costs Arnold unpacks the less-discussed sacrifices involved in Christian discipleship after the initial decision to follow Jesus. 14:00 – The Price of Persistence in Any Worthy Pursuit Whether spiritual, personal, or professional, lasting progress demands consistent commitment and reevaluation. 15:18 – Final Thought: Is the Goal Still Worth It? Arnold closes with a sobering but freeing question — are you still convinced your goal is worth the price? Highlights From The Episode "The redeemed life was not free. Jesus paid the price." “Sometimes the issue isn't effort, it's direction.” “We only accounted for 10% of the cost… the rest we discover as we go.” “Every good goal comes with both an upfront and ongoing cost.” “Humility is required not only to start, but to continue.” Practical Steps You Can Take Evaluate Your Goals: What are you hoping to achieve? What have you assumed it will cost, and have you been willing to pay that price? Track Your Inputs and Results: Like in business or fitness, regularly review what you're doing versus what results you're seeing. Ask God for Direction: Pray for discernment on whether to continue, pivot, or completely shift course in any area. Stay Humble and Teachable: Be willing to admit when your understanding of the journey needs adjusting. Recommit if Necessary: If the goal is still worth it, dig deeper, count the full cost, and re-engage with new resolve.

We all know the Great Commission—“Go and make disciples…”—but what is the mandate of the Gospel? In today's Rise Up, Fr. Jonathan Meyer unpacks the deeper command Jesus gives us in John 15: to love one another. Real love doesn't happen while rushing, multitasking, or checking off a to-do list. It takes time, attention, and presence. If we truly want to live the Gospel, we must slow down, declutter our lives, and spend time with God and with others.
Have you ever started a new habit or routine, only to suddenly find yourself completely off track? That moment when you realize you've "fallen off the wagon" can trigger a spiral of guilt and self-judgment that makes it even harder to start again. These moments of deviation aren't failures at all, they're essential parts of the change process. In this episode, I share how to approach these inevitable moments of inconsistency with curiosity instead of judgment. By dropping the entire construct of "the wagon," you can build genuine self-trust that leads to sustainable change. This shift in perspective helps you recover faster from setbacks, and it transforms how you approach growth in your design business altogether.

Rescue Society, Not Yacht Club: Sustaining Your YesScripture References: Matthew 20:1-28Sermon Intro: Welcome! Today, reflecting on our church's journey and recent powerful baptisms, we dive into the heart of our mission – not just beholding Jesus, but the "so that" part: seeing the lost found, prodigals return, disciples made, and churches planted. As we look to the future, the crucial question isn't just what we'll do, but how we'll sustain it. How do we avoid "mission creep"? How do we ensure we remain a dynamic "rescue society" and don't slowly drift into becoming a comfortable "yacht club," forgetting why we started? How do we sustain a life of sacrifice and service for decades to come?Key Points:Beware the Yacht Club - What Do You Deserve? (Matt 20:1-16):The Parable of the Vineyard Workers challenges our sense of fairness. Service can breed entitlement ("I worked longer, I deserve more").We must fight this by remembering GRACE. As Christians, we gave up demanding "fair" – we don't want what we truly deserve!Sustaining service means constantly battling entitlement and remembering God's generosity, even when it doesn't seem "fair" by worldly standards. We never deserve more than the privilege of serving God and others.Fuel for the Long Haul - How Do You See God? (Matt 20:17-19):Jesus predicts His own suffering and sacrifice for us.To sustain our service, we must stay connected to how He serves us. Is your focus primarily on what you do for God, or on what He has done and continues to do for you?Remembering His sacrifice, His carrying the burden, His constant work on our behalf is the fuel for sustained missions.Kingdom Values - How Do You Define Greatness? (Matt 20:20-28):The request of Zebedee's sons highlights a worldly definition of greatness (position, power).Jesus redefines greatness: it's service, humility, being last, being a slave. It's "momness."Sustaining our "yes" requires embracing His definition of greatness. Any position or influence is for serving, not being served. Servant leadership isn't an option; it's the only model.Sermon Conclusion: We are committed to remaining a rescue society. This requires actively fighting the drift towards comfort and entitlement. We do this not by trying harder, but by remembering: remembering the grace we didn't deserve, remembering Jesus' immense sacrifice for us (suffering outside the gate to rescue us), and embracing His upside-down definition of greatness. Let's keep going out on rescue missions together.Call to Action: Examine your heart:Where might entitlement be creeping in regarding your service? Ask God to help you see through the lens of grace.Reflect on how Jesus serves you daily. Let gratitude fuel your service.Are you pursuing worldly greatness or Kingdom greatness (service)? Recommit today to being part of the rescue society, choosing sustained sacrifice over comfort, fueled by the love and grace of Jesus.

Watch: https://youtu.be/p4yIZWlFeF4 You can't build culture without relational integrity. You can't build trust without congruence. And you sure as hell can't lead if no one believes you mean what you say. In this episode of The Modern Culture, Cari and Leah take you into Principle 4: Relational Integrity—the leadership standard that shows up when no one's watching. This is the principle that calls you out of performative leadership and into a version of yourself that leads from wholeness, not power plays. In this episode, we explore: What relational integrity actually means—and how it differs from basic honesty Why misalignment in your relationships always leaks into your leadership How high-achievers unintentionally damage trust in the name of productivity The psychology of relational rupture and repair in teams and partnerships A real-world story of a leader who regained respect by owning their missteps Three micro-practices to bring your words, actions, and energy into alignment How this principle transforms conflict, decision-making, and leadership reputation Relational Integrity isn't just about being a “good person.” It's about becoming a leader who is safe to follow. One whose presence is steady, whose word is trusted, and whose alignment is felt. Integration Challenge: This week, track your alignment: Where are your actions not matching your words? Where are you managing perception instead of honoring connection? Own it. Adjust. Recommit.

I'm re-sharing another one of my most popular episodes today and I know this is going to serve you no matter where you're at in business right now. We all have challenging seasons in business so this episode is all about how to navigate those times and still make decisions from a place of abundance when you're in the thick of it.Whether you've heard this one already or this is your first time, I believe this is really pertinent to anyone in business right now. Enjoy...It's launch season again! If you're like 99% of my clients, you're likely in the thick of a launch or a scale in some way right now. We tend to find that February to May is a busy season in business each year, and so I wanted to address something that every business owner should know more about: making abundant decisions when business isn't going so well. Every entrepreneur faces challenging seasons at some stage in business. There are failed launches, low sales and generally just difficult moments in their business journey. And while it's easy to sink down into the fear, I believe experiencing so-called failures is often the thing that propels you forward most in your business so you can course-correct to your biggest months, growth and biggest scale.Today, I share with you the step-by-step process I use to help navigate these situations and make decisions that support growth, abundance and long-term success. Sitting in the ShitGive yourself the space to sit in the negative feelings for a moment. It's okay to acknowledge and feel the disappointment, frustration or fear that comes with a challenging situation. Toxic positivity would tell us to override those emotions in our body, however that doesn't help us move forward. We need to embrace and process our feelings to make room for growth and abundance.Coming back to GratitudeOnce we've sat with our emotions, it's time to recalibrate back to the frequency of gratitude. Gratitude is the highest frequency we can be in when it comes to decision making and creating abundance. By shifting our focus to gratitude, we tap into our power and gain a fresh perspective that supports making decisions from a place of abundance.Recommit to Your GoalsIt's now time to re-anchor ourselves to our goals. Sometimes, a disappointing situation can make us doubt our capabilities or question the viability of our goals. But by staying focused on our goals and recommitting to them, we reaffirm that we're still in the game. We must remind ourselves of our power and take the necessary steps to show up for what we want to achieve.Taking Aligned ActionFinally, we need to take action based on our goals and the frequency we've recalibrated to, rather than being driven by the negative stories we tell ourselves. Making decisions rooted in scarcity or protection only hinders our growth and expansion. Instead, we need to trust ourselves, take risks and move forward despite the discomfort. I encourage you to bookmark this episode for the next time you're going through any kind of challenge and need something to come back to that feels grounding and stabilising. Remember, when times get tough, stay anchored to your vision and keep going despite the fear - I promise you'll come out the other side stronger and more capable of growing your business than ever!LINKSResources mentioned: FREE MasterclassDM me the word "Mastermind" on Instagram to find out about the Scalable Freedom MastermindThe FREE Mastermind Launch PlaybookConnect with Ellie: Website: https://www.ellieswift.com/Instagram: @elliehswiftFacebook Group: www.facebook.com/groups/shineonsocialellieswift/

Read Online Jesus came to Galilee proclaiming the Gospel of God: “This is the time of fulfillment. The Kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the Gospel.” Mark 1:14–15We have now completed our Advent and Christmas Seasons, and thus we begin the liturgical season of “Ordinary Time.” Ordinary Time must be lived in our lives in both an ordinary and extraordinary way.First of all, we begin this liturgical season with an extraordinary calling from God. In the Gospel passage above, Jesus begins His public ministry by proclaiming that “The Kingdom of God is at hand.” But He then goes on to state that, as a result of the new presence of the Kingdom of God, we must “repent” and “believe.”It's important to understand that the Incarnation, which we especially celebrated in Advent and Christmas, changed the world forever. Now that God had united Himself with human nature in the Person of Jesus Christ, God's new Kingdom of grace and mercy was at hand. Our world and our lives are changed because of what God did. And as Jesus began His public ministry, He begins to inform us through His preaching of this new reality.The public ministry of Jesus, as it is transmitted to us through the inspired Word of the Gospels, presents to us the very Person of God and the foundation of His new Kingdom of grace and mercy. It presents us with the extraordinary calling of holiness of life and an unwavering and radical commitment to following Christ. Thus, as we begin Ordinary Time, it's good to be reminded of our duty to immerse ourselves in the message of the Gospel and to respond to it without reserve.But this calling to an extraordinary way of life must ultimately become ordinary. In other words, our radical calling to follow Christ must become who we are. We must see the “extraordinary” as our “ordinary” duty in life. Reflect, today, upon the beginning of this new liturgical season. Use it as an opportunity to remind yourself of the importance of both daily studying and prayerfully pondering the public ministry of Jesus and all He taught. Recommit yourself to a faithful reading of the Gospel so that it becomes an ordinary part of your daily life. My precious Jesus, I thank You for all You have spoken and revealed to us through Your public ministry. Strengthen me during this new liturgical season of Ordinary Time to devote myself to the reading of Your holy Word, so that all that You have taught us becomes an ordinary part of my daily life. Jesus, I trust in You.Source of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2024 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

Reflect and Reload Being the final week of 2024 I felt it apt to release videos on reflecting on the year coming to a close and another on thinking of what you want for yourself in the year to come. I wrote these videos as Holiday Homework for my clients but I am putting them out there for everyone else to use as well. There's also a worksheet. Last week we were reflecting and this week we are preloading for 2025.

Time to reflect and refresh over the break I hope you're taking a break, even if it's just a short one. I am, I'm staying at home and I'm not doing much at all except eat and drink. One thing I will do is think about how 2024 went for me and how I want 2025 to go. I've made my client a holiday homework to do exactly this because it's Christmas (ahem, not really), and I'm making it available to you too. Ok, that's not strictly true, I think it's good, so I'm sending it out into the world so you can do it and maybe you'll think; “Time to get some coaching” There are two short videos and a ‘funsheet' to write things on. Here's this week's podcast : You're going to be thinking about this stuff anyway - might as well do a guided reflection - sort of like a guided meditation. Anyway, Merry Christmas.

Read OnlineAnd their eyes were opened. Jesus warned them sternly, “See that no one knows about this.” But they went out and spread word of him through all that land. Matthew 9:30–31Who is Jesus? This question is much more easily answered today than it was at the time Jesus walked the Earth. Today we are blessed with countless saints who have gone before us who have prayerfully and intelligently taught much about the person of Jesus. We know Him to be God, the Second Person of the Holy Trinity, the Savior of the World, the promised Messiah, the Sacrificial Lamb and so much more.The Gospel above comes from the conclusion of the miracle in which Jesus healed two blind men. These men were overwhelmed with their cure, and their emotion overtook them. Jesus instructed them to “See that no one knows about this” miraculous healing. But their excitement could not be contained. It's not that they were intentionally disobedient to Jesus; rather, they did not know how else to express their sincere gratitude other than to tell others about what Jesus had done.One reason Jesus told them not to tell others about Him is because Jesus knew they did not fully understand Who He was. He knew that their testimony about Him would fail to present Him in the way that was most truthful. He was the Lamb of God. The Savior. The Messiah. The Sacrificial Lamb. He was the One Who came into this world to redeem us by the shedding of His blood. Many of the people, however, wanted a nationalistic “messiah” or a miracle worker alone. They wanted one who would save them from political oppression and make them a great earthly nation. But this was not Jesus' mission.Oftentimes we can also fall into the trap of misunderstanding Who Jesus is and Who He wants to be in our lives. We can want a “god” who will save us only from our daily struggles, injustices and temporal difficulties. We can want a “god” who acts in accord with our will and not vice versa. We want a “god” who will heal us and free us of every earthly burden. But Jesus taught clearly throughout His life that He would suffer and die. He taught us that we must take up our own crosses and follow Him. And He taught us that we are to die, embrace suffering, offer mercy, turn the other cheek, and find our glory in that which the world will never understand.Reflect, today, upon whether Jesus would caution you about speaking too loudly about your vision of Who He is. Do you struggle with presenting a “god” who is not actually God? Or have you come to know the very Person of Christ our Lord to such an extent that you are able to give witness to Him Who died. Do you boast only in the Cross? Do you proclaim Christ crucified and preach only the deepest wisdom of humility, mercy and sacrifice? Recommit yourself to a true proclamation of Christ, setting aside any and all confused images of our saving God.My true and saving Lord, I commit myself to You and pray that I will come to know and love You as You are. Give me the eyes I need to see You and the mind and heart I need to know and love You. Remove from me any false vision of Who You are and replace within me a true knowledge of You, my Lord. As I come to know You, I offer myself to You so that You may use me to proclaim Your greatness to all. Jesus, I trust in You.Source of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2024 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

Are you getting sidetracked by easier goals that don't lead to your long-term vision? It's not that you lack motivation—it's that there's often a clearer path to a lesser goal. In this episode, April dives into how we can stay focused on our big goals and not get distracted by the more convenient, but less impactful, tasks that pop up every day. Learn how to establish your “One Move” that aligns with your 3-year vision and make sure that's where your effort goes. Key Points: Motivation isn't the problem: April explains that most people are willing to work and put in the reps—but often towards the wrong goals. The real issue is how we focus our energy on a clearer path to lesser goals. The One Move: Instead of chasing smaller, more convenient goals, April discusses how to identify the One Move—the action that will get you closer to your ultimate 3-year vision. Ben Hardy's Insight: April references Ben Hardy's idea of focusing on future self and making decisions that serve your long-term vision. Lesser goals can feel productive but don't move you toward your highest potential. Client Story (David's Routine): April shares a story about David, one of her clients, who transformed his productivity by dedicating his mornings to himself—coffee, journaling, and training—before starting his day. This simple routine helped him gain clarity and stay on track with his bigger goals. Avoiding the Distraction of Easy Wins: April breaks down how our brains are wired to seek immediate rewards, and why that often leads us down the path of easier, less meaningful goals. Don't let a clearer path to a lesser goal derail your 3-year vision. Motivation isn't the issue; it's about focusing on the right goals. Identify your One Move and make sure your daily actions align with your future self. Avoid the trap of small, easy wins that pull you off course. Recommit to the big goals, and create habits that support them. ___________________________________________________ Would you like to know more about being coached by April?

In our relationships with others, there are going to be wrinkles, miscommunications and misunderstandings. Depending on how they are dealt with, they can make bonds stronger or break them down completely. A small dropped stitch of disconnection doesn't have to disintegrate the entire fabric of a friendship. There is a way to express how we feel without completely breaking down the flow of connection and irreparably rupturing the relationship. In fact, we can use these challenging moments to bring things to the surface, clarify our communication and ultimately move through the messiness together. The challenge is: a lot of people tend to completely call off the game when there's a miscommunication, but it's so much better to commit to keep the game going! How do we turn the wrinkles of communication into an invitation to increase the flow of connection? How do we learn to stop calling off the game? In this episode, we talk about a recent interruption, and what we can learn from it to make our relationships more alive. Things You'll Learn In This Episode -A vibratory difference When we're moving into an expansive season and making a big leap, not everyone is going to come along. How do we know who is going to the next adventure with us? -Don't call off the game There are so many ways people interrupt the flow of connection in their relationships. Is it possible to stay connected despite a momentary lapse in closeness? -Repair, recommit and reinvent A relationship with a mutual commitment to move through the messiness is full of aliveness - it's so much juicier!

We live in an instant gratification culture, so it's not surprising that a lot of people want to just skip to the good part. We're looking for that button that will magically fix everything wrong with our lives. Well, the truth is, the journey is just as beautiful as the destination we wish to arrive at. We expect great things to just magically appear, but we don't expect the same for athletes and musicians. Great things take work, commitment, practice and recommitment. Then you have to do it over and over again. That's why we have to fall in love with the journey instead of the outcome. Getting to the thing you want requires you to both build something new while enjoying exactly where you are right now. It's not a matter of leapfrogging to the top of the mountain, it's a matter of enjoying the climb. How do we befriend and accompany ourselves? How do we make sure we're making self-loving choices even when we're not yet where (or who) we want to be? In this episode, we talk about the only “magic button” for getting everything we want. We have to learn to be with ourselves so deeply that no matter what happens, we can accompany ourselves through the journey. -Sophie Chiche Three Things You'll Learn In This Episode -Don't obsess over the outcome The myth of life is that if we get the great relationship or the achievement we desire, it will solve all our problems. Why does this only set us up for disappointment? -A sensory experience of self-love We're either making choices that affirm that we don't matter or affirm that we love ourselves. How do these choices trickle down even to what we eat? -Become your own ground It's easy to tie our joy to other people or some external milestone. How do we become so stable within ourselves that we don't need that?

“ How to deal with re-injury? I tore my ACL last winter and it almost broke me, but I fought my way back into skiing at almost my previous level this year. Now I just tore it again and I feel absolutely shattered. I wasn't out of control or falling - the turn was just too much for my knee to handle and it snapped. I have no idea how I'll ever feel confident enough to take up skiing in the future now this happened. Also, I'm feeling completely demotivated for my recovery this time around.” —Marion In the seventh season of The Injured Athletes Club podcast, mental skills coach Carrie Jackson answers a question every other week about the mental side of overcoming injuries. In response to Marion's question, Coach Carrie first acknowledges the emotional impact of re-injury. She explains the devastation and fear associated with experiencing the same injury again and how it affects an athlete's confidence. She then shares strategies for rebuilding trust in your body, emphasizing the importance of small, daily progress and positive self-talk. Coach Carrie then introduces the Three R's: Regroup, Reset, Recommit. Regroup involves staying in the present moment and avoiding past regrets and future anxieties. Reset means grounding yourself and accepting the current situation. Recommit encourages choosing determination over despair and moving forward with intention.

Episode 65 Summer RefreshAs we enter into as CRAZT HOT WEEK in Northern California ( think triple digits )- Summer has arrived. This episode is the first in the Summer series of Breathing Underwater called “The Summer Refresh”. In this episode Margaux shares 3 reasons for the title Summer Refresh as well as 3 practical ways to intentionally engage with the new physical and spiritual season of summer with a return to simplicity and refreshment in the truth of the Gospel, as God as our first lover and to the foundations of biblical, spirit lead dream interpretation. Here are the practical ways to engage with the reset: Get a dream journal or a new dream journal. Or create a new folder on your phone. Set some time apart to go back through the last quarter of your dreams and reflect. Are there any patterns you see in your dream content? Are there any dreams that have been fulfilled? Make a new folder or tag them so they go into a new mental category. Look at your summer and ask Holy Spirit to help you find a REALISTIC rhythm of time to spend with your dreams. Time to seek out God: "For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened”. Matthew 7:8 Take an honest assessment of your days and set goals that are realistic and life-giving.Summer brings something different for all of us. For some it's a winding down, others it's a ramping up and many have lives that stay the same. But let's acknowledge the change in season and respond to the newness of it but taking a pause to re-align, re-set and intentionally seek God for His voice in our lives.More on Breathing Underwater Memberships HERENeed Help with dreams or discerning God's Voice?
