You're not stuck because you lack discipline. You're stuck because you've mistaken consistency for progress. In this episode of The Scratch Golfer's Mindset Podcast, I challenge one of the most commonly accepted beliefs in personal development, golf, and business—that consistency is the key to success. Yes, consistency matters.  But it's not what creates transformation. Transformation comes from intensity. I break down why so many high achievers stay stuck despite doing "all the right things," how being consistently mediocre quietly kills progress, and what it actually takes to create rapid, meaningful breakthroughs in your golf game, business, and life. You'll learn how to strategically apply short bursts of intensity, raise your performance floor, and then use consistency to maintain your gains—without burning out or neglecting other areas of your life. In this episode, you'll learn: Why consistency alone is not enough for transformational change The difference between raising your ceiling vs. raising your floor How intensity creates rapid breakthroughs in performance Why most people are "consistently mediocre" without realizing it How to apply 30–90 day sprints to improve your golf game or business The role of discomfort, stress, and expansion in skill development How to balance intensity in one area without neglecting others Why ruthless elimination is required for real progress The importance of rest and recovery in sustaining high performance If you feel like you're putting in the work but not getting the results… this episode will challenge you in exactly the way you need.

"You're not stuck—you're consistently mediocre." "You can't expect transformation if you never push beyond comfort." "Intensity raises your floor. Consistency protects it."

Sabbath Done, DonePastor Kent Landhuis THEME - Celebrating Sabbath reorients our lives.TEXT - Genesis 2:1-3 1. Remember the Sabbath (to keep it Holy).·        God finished the work of creation. Genesis 2:1-3 ·        God will finish his work in us. Philippians 1:62. Reclaim the Sabbath (to keep it joyfully).·        Stop.·        Rest. ·        Delight.·        Worship.3. Reorient the Sabbath (to keep it regularly).·        Sabbath reorients our time.·        Sabbath reorients our work·        Sabbath reorients our priorities.·        Sabbath reorients our trust. NEXT STEPS1. Focus on one day every week to celebrate Sabbath. 2. Prepare for Sabbath by using this journal prompt: What prevents me from getting peaceful rest?3. Don't miss worshipping together for any of the next four Sundays. JOURNAL PROMPTWhat prevents me from getting peaceful rest?  REFLECTION“The Hebrew word Shabbat means ‘to stop.' But it can also be translated ‘to delight.' The Sabbath is an entire day set aside to follow God's example, to stop and delight.” - John Mark Comer, The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry “Sabbath isn't about resting perfectly, it's about resting in the one who is perfect.” - Shelly Miller, Rhythms of Rest “Most of the things we need to be most fully alive never come in busyness. They grow in rest.” - Mark Buchanan, The Holy Wild “A great benefit of Sabbath keeping is that we learn to let God take care of us - not by becoming passive and lazy, but in the freedom of giving up our feeble attempts to be God in our own lives.” - Marva J. Dawn, Keeping the Sabbath Wholly PRAYERLord, reorient my life so that I can enter Sabbath rest. May your Spirit guide me and empower me to surrender my time, my work, and my priorities so that I will desire the things that God desires above all. Amen.

What does it mean to wait well in a world that moves fast? In this episode, we wrestle with our obsession with time—how we measure it, rush through it, and often try to control it. From grocery store lines to life-altering seasons of waiting, we explore the tension between efficiency and faithfulness.Drawing from Scripture, personal stories, and reflections on books like The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer, this conversation uncovers a deeper truth: time isn't just something to optimize—it's something to steward in love. Waiting isn't wasted when it forms patience, reveals our hearts, and invites us to trust God more fully.Takeaways Waiting reveals what's underneath.Choosing the “long line” doesn't automatically make us virtuous—but it exposes our impatience, anxiety, and desire for control.We've redefined time as productivity.Our culture trains us to see time as something to maximize for efficiency and output, rather than something to receive as a gift from God.The Bible's view of waiting is much bigger than ours.Scripture is full of long, stretching seasons—years, decades, even generations—reminding us how small our modern expectations have become.Anxious toil vs. trusting rest.Scripture (like Psalm 127) contrasts striving driven by anxiety with a life marked by trust, rest, and dependence on God.Slowing down can be a spiritual practice.Whether it's putting your phone away, arriving early instead of rushing, or embracing inefficiency, small choices can reshape our hearts.Time looks different for everyone.Each person's capacity, season, and calling are unique—so faithfulness with time isn't about comparison, but about obedience.Love moves at a different pace.When time is treated as money, faster feels better. But when time is treated as love, slowness often creates space for what matters most.We practice now for the moments that matter later.Learning to slow down in everyday moments prepares us to be fully present in harder, more meaningful ones—like sitting with someone who is suffering.Chapters0:00 – Why time feels so strange (and why we're obsessed with it)03:00 – The “long line” idea: foolish or formative?07:00 – Practicing slowness in small, everyday ways11:00 – Fasting, waiting, and learning through limitation16:00 – Biblical waiting vs. our modern impatience22:00 – How culture shapes our expectations of time28:00 – Anxious toil, productivity, and trust (Psalm 127)33:00 – Time as a gift vs. time as efficiency39:00 – Disability, pace, and redefining a “full” life44:00 – Comparison, calling, and stewarding your own time47:00 – Love, slowness, and preparing for meaningful moments

In this Season 4 episode of the Lebanon House of Prayer (LHOP) Podcast, we dive into a practice that is transforming our families and our ministry: the ancient rhythm of the Sabbath.We often find ourselves in a "frantic" rush, but what happens when we intentionally choose to stop? Inspired by John Mark Comer's The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry, we discuss the four essential components of a true Sabbath—stopping, resting, delighting, and worshiping.Join us as we talk about the practical struggle and the ultimate reward of turning off the phones, putting away the to-do lists, and rediscovering a balance that can only be found in God's rest.In this episode, we explore:The difference between a "day off" (chores and errands) and a "Sabbath."Practical tips for family Sabbath rhythms (board games, family dinners, and digital fasts).Moving from a life of "hurry" to a life of "presence."How creating space for struggle in those around us actually helps them grow.

In this episode of Torsion Talk, Ryan shares a candid conversation about leadership, burnout, accountability, and how AI may fundamentally change the way entrepreneurs manage their time and their lives. After spending months in an intense grind fixing operational problems inside his company, Ryan reflects on the lessons he learned about priorities, leadership failures, and the importance of putting the right systems and people in place.Ryan opens up about what happens when entrepreneurs place work above everything else, including health, family, and personal well-being. He discusses the reality many business owners face when seasons of nonstop work take over and how that pressure can create problems in both business and personal life. Through reflection, mentorship, and reading books like The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry, Ryan explains how he's restructuring his priorities and why leadership at home and at work requires intentional balance.A key concept discussed in this episode is how extending too much grace without accountability can lead to enablement, entitlement, and eventually resentment. Ryan breaks down how this pattern can appear in both personal relationships and business leadership, and why entrepreneurs must be willing to address issues early instead of avoiding difficult conversations.The episode also explores the rapid evolution of AI and automation. Ryan shares how he is building internal AI tools and experimenting with agents that can handle scheduling, communication, and operational tasks. He walks through a real example of using AI to reorganize his weekly schedule while walking during his son's soccer practice, demonstrating how these tools can help reclaim time and improve productivity.Looking ahead, Ryan believes AI agents will soon become a normal part of everyday life, helping entrepreneurs manage calendars, communication, and tasks automatically. The real question, however, isn't just what AI can automate—it's what we choose to do with the time it gives back. Ryan challenges listeners to think intentionally about whether that time will be reinvested into more work or redirected toward health, family, and personal growth.This episode is both a leadership reflection and a practical discussion about how AI may reshape entrepreneurship over the next few years, and why the most important decision may simply be how we choose to spend the time we gain.Find Ryan at:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://garagedooru.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://aaronoverheaddoors.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://markinuity.com/⁠Check out our sponsors!Sommer USA - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://sommer-usa.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Surewinder - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://surewinder.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Stealth Hardware - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://quietmydoor.com/⁠

What if the reason you're not happier… is because you're chasing happiness like it's the starting line — not the result?In this episode, I sit down with Lloyd (author + high performer) for a conversation that goes way deeper than the usual “do this habit, feel better” advice.We talk about the uncomfortable truth that some people unconsciously pay to stay the victim, because it becomes an identity… and identities can be addictive.Then we flip the whole happiness conversation on its head:Happiness is a lagging indicator — like money.Which means if you keep obsessing over the outcome (“Where's the happiness?”), you'll miss the inputs that actually create it.Inside this episode we cover:Why accountability = freedom (and why most people avoid it)The concept of happiness as an output, not an inputThe quote: “Your soul needs time to catch up to your body” (and why it hits so hard)The book that changed everything: The Ruthless Elimination of HurryContentment, ambition, and why “success” without peace is a trapLloyd's definition of happiness: no commute, meaningful work, and a life built for joyIf you've been doing “all the right things” but still feel restless, rushed, or like happiness keeps moving… this one will land.

What do you think is the most important thing in life? Would it be what you do--- Your job? Maybe your accomplishments? Your Hard Work? Your reputation? All of that is what people see from the outside. Or would it be what happens on the inside---- That deep rooted growth that happens where no one really sees it-- it is invisible? I think it has to do with what happens in the inner part of our life. I love this quote, "The most important thing in your life is not what you do, but about who you become." Today, I am so excited to highlight this book, *Soul Keeping by John Ortberg. The subtitle says Caring for the Most Important Part of You. Our Soul! I know you are going to learn so much from John's book -- it is full of wisdom. I share about John Mark Comer's Book, *The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry. My dad and I were both reading this book at the same time back in December 2024, so he was my podcast guest as we talked about this book.

Everyone wants to grow — but most years feel busy, overwhelming, or the same. In this episode of Hot & Unbothered, I'm sharing how to have a year of actual growth — the kind that changes how you think, how you move, and how you experience your life. We talk about staying focused without burnout, keeping the spark alive, romanticizing your life during boring seasons, and what really shifted me mentally and spiritually over the last two years. This episode is about choosing depth over noise, consistency over chaos, and becoming grounded instead of overwhelmed. If you've been feeling stuck, overstimulated, or like you're “doing everything” but still not moving forward — this one is for you. The tool you NEED to stick to your goals this year: the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠BECOMING HER PLANNER⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for the girlies who are serious about leveling up (made by your's truly!)

In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I, Rachel Wortman, delve into a topic that quietly exhausts many of us in the realms of business, leadership, and ministry: the obsession with numbers. We often find ourselves fixated on revenue goals, follower counts, and growth metrics, which, while not inherently evil, can distract us from the life in Christ we are called to live. As I reflect on my own experiences, I share how I've noticed a troubling trend where we replace the concept of fruit-bearing with numerical figures. Instead of asking ourselves who we are becoming, we become preoccupied with what we are producing. This episode marks a pivotal moment for me as I celebrate reaching 20,000 downloads of the podcast, thanks to all of you who have supported and shared it.   Interested in the Kingdom Identity Accelerator?

It's the most wonderful time of the year… and the most exhausting. Between the decorating, the baking, the shopping, and the pressure to make everything magical, our souls can feel more hurried than holy. In this episode, we slow down to talk about what it really means to rest during the holidays, not just physically, but spiritually.Drawing from The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer, The Deeply Formed Life by Rich Villodas, and the practice of Slow Living, join us as we explore how doing less will actually help us experience more: more peace, more joy, and more presence with the people (and the God) who matter most.If you feel like you're carrying the weight of making the holidays “perfect,” this conversation will remind you that perfection isn't the point - presence is. You'll walk away with practical ideas to simplify the season, breathe deeply, and rediscover the sacred rhythm of rest, even in the holiday hurry.Show Notes:The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark ComerThe Deeply Formed Life by Rich VillodasSlow Living Articles:Already Stressed About the Holidays?https://www.latimes.com/lifestyle/story/2025-11-06/tips-holiday-overwhelm-stress-niro-felicianoHow to Slow Down During the Holidays              https://caitlinhoustonblog.com/how-to-slow-down-during-the-holidays/Why Doing Nothing Intentionally is Good for Us: The Rise of the Slow Living Movement.                                           https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20240724-why-doing-nothing-intentionally-is-good-for-us-the-rise-of-the-slow-living-movement

The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry - Part 4

When you're constantly hurrying from one thing to the next, it's almost impossible to be the dad you want to be. In this episode, you'll hear: ✅ The moment his son flinched and why it became the turning point ✅ How emotional regulation helps you stay in the "green zone" with your kids ✅ Why your role isn't to be Superman—it's to be the chief repenter ✅ The power of visioning your 80th birthday party (and reverse engineering it!) This conversation will challenge you to slow down, stay steady, and stop letting your kids catch the shrapnel. LEAVE A VOICE MESSAGE for DadAwesome - share your QUESTIONS here Summary: What happens when the pace of your life is stealing your ability to be present with your kids? In this episode, Tyler Graham shares the moment his son flinched when he sat down beside him—and how that changed everything. You'll hear why emotional regulation might be the most important skill any dad can develop, how living at three miles per hour creates space for real connection, and why being the chief repenter in your home is more powerful than being Superman. Takeaways: Dads need to be the thermostat, not the thermometer—setting the tone rather than reacting to it. When a dad blows up, the kids catch the shrapnel, and those moments leave lasting impressions. Emotional regulation is one of the most critical skills for fatherhood—learning to respond from the green zone instead of the red or blue. Vision is essential: imagine your child's eulogy or your 80th birthday party and reverse engineer the habits you need today. Your role as a dad isn't to be Superman—it's to be the chief repenter, modeling humility and grace for your kids. Guest Bio: Tyler Graham is a dad of six, founder of Three Mile Per Hour Fatherhood, and a passionate advocate for helping fathers slow down and live at the pace of presence. Through coaching cohorts and resources, Tyler encourages dads to develop emotional regulation, break generational patterns, and build a compelling vision for their family's future. He lives with his wife and six kids on their homestead, where they're building a legacy rooted in connection, intentionality, and grace. Quotes "I cannot be the type of dad I want to be when I'm in a hurry." "When a dad blows up, the kids catch the shrapnel." "A dad's role is not to be Superman. A dad's role is to be the chief repenter." "Dads need to be the thermostat, not the thermometer—set the tone, don't react to it." "My son flinched when I sat down. That's when I knew something had to change."

In this episode, we explore the gift of tears and the importance of allowing ourselves to cry. We reflect on our experiences with crying and talk about how tears, especially in painful moments, can be a powerful expression of surrender, lament, and hope when offered to God. With the help of the Holy Spirit, our sensitivity and capacity to cry reflect the way we were beautifully created to respond to what breaks God's heart. We discuss the vulnerability of crying, the pain of resisting it, and how Jesus crying out on the cross reveals the value of our own cries. Whether you're too tired to cry, afraid to show need, or already feel safe expressing emotion, we invite you to see crying as an act of worship and intercession. In our sorrow, God meets us with love, truth, and the hope that He can actually do something with our pain.   Heather's One Thing - Spirit Breathe by Sarah Kroger and Echo Harbor Worship Sister Miriam's One Thing - Beloved Son by Carrie Daunt Michelle's One Thing - Her new back porch!   Other Resources Mentioned:  Pope Leo XIV's General Audience of September 10, 2025 The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer   Journal Questions: When was the last time I cried? What would it look like for me to cry well? Where has my heart been repressed? Where do I need to cry out?   Discussion Questions: How did Pope Leo's words change your perspective on crying? How are you tempted to give in to cynicism? In what ways are you self-reliant in this season of life? How can you be an empathetic witness to someone crying out in their life?   Quote to Ponder: “Finally, she asks God to give her a gift of tears to draw his mercy down upon the world, and especially upon his church.  In one of her visions, Catherine records having been told by God: “If you open your mind's eye you will see that the Holy Spirit weeps in the person of every one of my servants who offers me the fragrance of holy desire and constant humble prayer.” (St. Catherine of Sienna, The Dialogue Study Edition)   “We are accustomed to thinking of crying out as something disorderly, to be repressed. The Gospel confers an immense value to our cry, reminding us that it can be an invocation, a protest, a desire, a surrender. It can even be the extreme form of prayer, when there are no words left. In that cry, Jesus gave all that he had left: all his love, all his hope.” (General Audience, September 10, 2025, Pope Leo XIV)    Scripture for Lectio: “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?” (Psalm 22:1)   Sponsor - Beata Home: This episode is sponsored by Beata Home, a boutique-style print shop founded by Katie, a wife and mom of four.

In this episode we ask ourselves the question of if Jesus is truly first in our lives.

Week 2 of The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry dives into the real cost of a rushed life. Hurry drains us physically, emotionally, and spiritually—it steals our joy, dries up our love, and drowns out God's still, small voice. Scripture reminds us to slow down, to rest, and to trust that God's plan for us includes peace, margin, and Sabbath (Ecclesiastes 4:6, Psalms 23, Mark 2:27).We hurry because of fear—fear of missing out, falling behind, or not mattering. But Jesus calls us to lay down fear and live with faith: not the absence of doubt, but obedience in the middle of it. When we slow our pace and seek first the Kingdom (Matthew 6:33), we discover that God's rest is exactly what our souls have been longing for.#crossbridgechurch #RuthlessEliminationOfHurry #FaithOverFear #RestInHim #BeStillAndKnow

The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry reminds us that a hurried life is not a Christlike life. Jesus calls us to lay down our obsession with stuff, time, and priorities that distract us, and instead find rest and joy in Him alone (Matthew 11:28–30). When we make Him greater, the things that once consumed us grow smaller in light of His presence.True joy is not the same as fleeting happiness—it's a fruit of the Spirit that comes from aligning our lives with God's desires. At the end of the day, Jesus + nothing = everything, and everything – Jesus = nothing.#crossbridgechurch #RuthlessEliminationOfHurry #JesusIsGreater #JoyInChrist #FaithOverHurry
