What if God isn't only watching what we do, but why we do it? In this one-week message, Pastor David Eiffert walks through Isaiah 58 and asks an honest question about motives: are we serving God, helping people, and even doing good things for the right reasons, or has something else crept underneath?We live in a society that cares more about image than character. But God is concerned with the WHAT, and he's just as concerned with the WHY.Four things to take with you:1. Pure actions will inevitably follow a pure heart.2. Watch out for a shifting heart when success comes.3. Impure desires often disguise themselves as excessive self-care.4. Without love, even great actions become meaningless.If you've ever caught yourself asking, "Wait, why am I really doing this?" this message is for you.Scriptures referenced: Isaiah 58, Proverbs 26:12, 1 Corinthians 13.Facebook: / believerscenterInstagram: / believerscenterGiving: https://pushpay.com/g/believerscenterFirst Time: https://believerscenter.churchcenter.com/people/forms/797243Salvation / Rededication: https://believerscenter.churchcenter.com/people/forms/797600#BelieversCenter #ForTheRightReasons #Isaiah58 #Motives #DavidEiffertThanks so much for listening to the Believers Center podcast!

In this Pawndering episode of God and Our Dogs, host Meg Greer is joined by Dwayne Rivers of the Rivers Team at Phyllis Browning Real Estate. They listen to a story from a previous guest, Clint Buck, about his rescue dog Cotton — who faked an illness just to get an early walk — and then ponder the deeper question: Do we try to manipulate or perform for God the way dogs do for us? The conversation explores how God's attention is never something we have to earn, the danger of seeking recognition from others rather than serving from the heart, the Parable of the Vineyard Workers, and what true freedom in Christ looks like — even in unfair circumstances. 0:00 – Introduction & Show Overview 1:04 – Guest Introduction: Dwayne Rivers 1:57 – Cotton's Story: The Dog Who Faked an Illness 4:03 – Pondering: Do We Perform for God's Attention? 4:25 – God Knows Our Hearts — No Deception Needed 5:43 – Doing Good Deeds for Recognition vs. the Right Reasons 7:10 – The Parable of the Vineyard Workers 8:38 – The Blessing of Living with Christ 9:01 – Faith, Fairness, and the World We Live In 9:32 – Persecuted Christians & Entitlement 10:26 – Freedom in Christ (Book of Galatians) 11:18 – Keeping Your Eyes on God 11:43 – Wrapping Up & The Rivers Team 12:03 – Where to Find the Show

I had the pleasure of sitting down again with legendary bowhunter, author, conservationist, outdoorsman, master storyteller and now he can add member of the Traditional Bowhunters Hall of Fame to his elite resume, Mr. Gene Wensel. His name is synonymous with traditional archery and fair chase hunting for all the right reasons.After moving his family to the Bitterroot Valley of Montana in the early 1970's Gene soon built a reputation as one of the most serious and dedicated traditional bowhunters in North America. Gene has spent over 65 years passionately writing, scouting, studying, and hunting wild whitetail deer. The hunts, the stories, the insight is worth the price of admission on its own. Gene revisits some of his most memorable hunts in far off places, some with very special people tagging along. From the cold windy mountains of Montana to the hot and dry plains of Africa, Gene gives the details of some very special memories. If you are a bowhunter and know of Gene. I don't think you will want to miss this one.
In this message, we explore the slippery "miry clay" of modern existentialism - the exhausting cycle of trying to beat our own trail to create our own purpose and identity. Recently Daniel participated in a cycling event (as a non-cyclist) and he uses this experience as an illustration to take a look at how many of us "pitch up" to God perhaps just looking the part, while missing the power of the Order and Way He has established.The pivot point is Hebrews 10. We discuss the sobering reality of what it means to treat the Blood of Jesus as "common" instead of "covenant." This isn't just a motivational talk; it's a call to radical, willful obedience and an invitation to step out of the mud and onto the Solid Rock.What we cover in this session:The Cycling Paradigm: Why we show up out of relationship, not for it.Why we follow the rules: Breaking the spirit of self-defined meaning.The Hebrews 10 Warning: Understanding the weight and responsibility of the New Covenant.The Reward of Rest: How to live "pulled" by the Spirit rather than "pushed" by circumstances.If you've been feeling stuck in the "froth and slime" of old habits or philosophical confusion, this message is a roadmap back to the way, the truth, and the life.

Episode Summary In this fast-paced episode of Business Coaching Secrets, Karl Bryan and Rode Dog dive deep into what it really takes to find success as a business coach—mindset, habits, and strategy. Karl unpacks the psychology of consistently getting clients, the myths of overnight success, and how to bulletproof your business career through discipline, focus, and helping others first. Practical frameworks, lessons from millionaires, and a "moment of zen" make this episode a blueprint for leveling up your coaching or entrepreneurial journey. Key Topics Covered Mindset and The Power of Identity The hosts stress that your internal story and self-identity dramatically impact your success more than any tactic or system, urging coaches to affirm: "Getting clients is easy, getting clients is fun." Repetition and positive self-talk are powerful tools; cultivating the right mindset is foundational. Lead Generation as a Science Karl insists lead generation isn't as hard as it seems—it's a matter of discipline and consistency ("30 cold calls a day"). The game is about setting targets you can actually hit and compounding effort daily, not chasing instant results. Embracing Detours and the Reality of the Journey The path to success is never a straight line. There will always be pain, uncertainty, and constant work regardless of your level. Coaches must learn to enjoy the process, be resilient to setbacks, and stay focused on the big goal—a recurring theme throughout. Networking and Building Local Networks The richest individuals and biggest companies succeed by building invaluable networks, not just businesses. Hosting local events, forming joint ventures, and visibility in the community are vital for creating scalable opportunities. Serving First and The Right Reasons for Outreach The most effective outreach comes from a place of genuinely wanting to help, not just needing a client. Focus on delivering value—even a cold call can be transformative if the intent is service. The Compounding Advantage of Habits Consistency and focus (making daily calls, hosting regular events) lead to outcomes that compound over time—just like in the gym. Overcoming Self-Sabotage and Procrastination Coaches must address self-sabotage head-on ("The Mountain Is You" concept), replace negative flywheels with positive routines, and maintain discipline especially when motivation fades. Notable Quotes "You can't change who you are until you change who you think you are." "Lead generation is not that hard. It's more scientific than anything else you'll do in coaching." "The crazy ones make all the money." "Decide what you want, be dogmatic about your destination—and flexible about how you get there." "Build a business you could sell tomorrow, but don't want to." "Pain, uncertainty, constant work—those are the constants at every level." Actionable Takeaways Network Ruthlessly: Run weekly local events, form alliances, and put yourself "in play" to multiply your influence and authority. Serve Before You Sell: Always call or reach out with the intent to help, not just close a client; fix their real problems, not just your revenue needs. Bulletproof Your Lead Gen: Set a realistic, daily outreach target (e.g., 25-30 calls) and stick to it, especially on tough days. Progress compounds. Define Success—and Focus Relentlessly: Know exactly what you want (monthly income, number of clients, events per week) and use clear targets—don't just chase vague goals. Address Self-Sabotage Directly: Read "The Mountain Is You," reflect on your emotional flywheel, and turn self-awareness into positive habits. Face what holds you back. Embrace the Journey: Accept that setbacks are inevitable, but also necessary for developing resilience and mastery. Your growth lies in the day-to-day challenges.

Haggai 1 tells the story of God's people who love Him, believe in His mission, and yet allow delay and distraction to take over. In this message, we explore how obedience often stalls not because of rebellion, but because of misplaced priorities. This message calls us to consider our ways, respond to God's Word, and trust His promise to be with us as we put Him first again.

In this episode of Confident Christian Influence, Pam shares a practical, faith-forward guide to dealing with difficult people using the L.E.A.D. framework and the example of Jesus' authority under control. You'll learn how to lead like Jesus when tensions rise, protect your peace with healthy boundaries, and respond with clarity and self-control instead of reacting from frustration. We walk through L.E.A.D. — Lean In, Elevate Perspective, Accept Responsibility, Do the Right Things for the Right Reasons—to help you lean into God's word and instruction, consider the opportunity you have to impact the difficult persons and others, to respond appropriately, and do what God would have you to do. You'll practice calm authority as your leadership strengthens relationships, reduces conflict, and builds trust at work, in ministry, and at home. Pam covers the worth and value we all have, Biblical principles that must be upheld, and how to set healthy boundaries and detach from the drama while staying kind. If you're ready to transform difficult interactions into opportunities for clarity, confidence, and influence, this episode gives you the tools to lead strong with grace and truth.

What happens when two people with a shared vision for community, craftsmanship, and legacy decide to take the leap into shop ownership? For Scott and his wife, the answer is Delaware Metals. In this inspiring conversation, Scott Bruneau shares how he and his wife purchased a decades-old, well-run machine shop—not as a quick flip, but as a long-term investment in American manufacturing, their team, and their community. With over 20 years in the industry himself, Scott knew the road ahead would be demanding. But armed with a clear “why,” a strong culture-first mindset, and a willingness to learn from both successes and mistakes, he's been steering Delaware Metals into new markets, upgrading capabilities, and building a younger, highly skilled workforce. We cover everything from the buying process and financing tips, to shop layout improvements, training strategies, and the reality of recruiting in today's tight labor market. Scott also opens up about the importance of open-book leadership—sharing the numbers, empowering the team, and making sure everyone understands their role in the shop's growth. Whether you're dreaming about buying your first shop, preparing to sell yours, or simply looking for leadership inspiration, Scott's story is packed with actionable wisdom. This is about buying a machine shop for all the right reasons—and building a business that lasts. You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in...

Why are the people of the Jerusalem perpetually backsliding (in their observance)? Jeremiah asks the question and the people provide a convincing answer - in that both those who repent and those who continue to do wrong (and those who are righteous) all end up in the same place. With interplay of biblical verses from different books. Plus, the concern that God has severed the ties with the Children of Israel/Jewish people, when not only was King David called God's servant, but so too was Nebuchadnezzar - with clever explanation as to why even this does not mean a severed tie from God to the Jewish people. Plus, being plagued by one's own evil inclination. Also, heretics and the rooster as a sign of God's wrath. Note: Don't curse the wicked - and take this capacity for wrong-doing with humility. Note: Balaam's story. Also, people should always to mitzvot, even if for the wrong reasons, because eventually, one will come to act for the right reasons.
Pastor David shared that a high road leader is someone who does the right things for the right reasons, highlighting how Jesus illustrates this in the Sermon on the Mount. He emphasized the importance of giving, praying, and fasting not for public admiration but with a genuine heart. Pastor David encouraged the church to align their motivations with their faith, emphasizing that God rewards those who act in private sincerity.
