Striving for Revival – Deuteronomy 25 (B) - 12/18/2025

In this episode, Cindy Esliger addresses perfectionism and why the drive to be perfect quietly sabotages us, fuelling procrastination and self-doubt. The pursuit of flawlessness seems like a noble quest, but it proves to be a cleverly disguised trap that delays progress and increases our stress. What is the alternative to perfectionism? Cindy explains that sustainable excellence is what we should strive for over perfection. It's a balance of ambition with self-compassion that protects our mental health and rebuilds confidence.   Perfectionism becomes a loop that urges us to set impossibly high standards, feel anxious about meeting those standards, avoid the task due to the pressure we created, finally get the task done in a panic, and then, exhausted, still believe we could have done better. Flawlessness is damaging and drives us to constantly outdo ourselves. Cindy points out five ways in which perfectionism messes with our performance, well-being, and career growth: 1. Expectation, escalation, and burnout, 2. Mental health fallout, 3. Inconsistent performance, 4. Refusal to delegate, and 5. Plateaued growth.  Cindy advises that we shift our energy from being perfect to being more strategic. She explains intentional imperfection and how it involves choosing where to be excellent and where to be average on purpose. She offers five strategies for moving away from the perfectionism trap: 1. Use time, not outcome, to set boundaries, 2. Get honest about the trade-offs, 3. Practice planned procrastination, 4. Recalibrate what enough means, and 5. Intentionally choose where to excel. It's okay to want to be great, but greatness doesn't come from being perfect. It comes from showing up consistently and learning through missteps.Resources discussed in this episode:Guide to Letting GoAstronomic AudioConfidence Collective—Contact Cindy Esliger Career Confidence Coaching: website | instagram | facebook | linkedin | email Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

We sit down with author and missions leader Alex Kocman to explore how Paul's letter calls men to stand firm, speak truth with love, and lock shields as a church that shares real risks and real joy.

Striving for Revival – Deuteronomy 25 (A) - 12/17/2025

What if I told you… grace isn't earned — it's remembered?In this solo transmission, Dr. Samuel B. Lee, MD invites you into a healing frequency that transcends striving, performance, and perfectionism: the living wave of grace. This episode is an energetic transmission — a sacred reminder that you are already whole, already loved, already source, and there is nothing to fix.Dr. Lee unpacks how grace functions not as mercy or forgiveness, but as a spontaneous scalar wave — a quantum coherence event between your incarnate self and your eternal Rishi Self. He vulnerably shares how unconscious childhood patterns of performance-based love shaped his drive for achievement, and how a moment of divine grace in Kauai dissolved lifetimes of striving into stillness, spaciousness, and sacred remembering.You'll journey through powerful metaphysical insights, poetic prayers, and cosmic remembrance as Dr. Lee reveals how grace re-maps karmic imprints, stabilizes the nervous system, and returns you to the frequency of wholeness — because you couldn't mess this up even if you tried.This episode is more than words — it's an invitation to pause, soften, and become receptive to the field of grace that's already here.

If you’re a high-achiever who has built your life on hard work, dedication and getting difficult tasks done, you probably can’t imagine what it would be like to allow your life to happen in a way that is organic and easy. Just let things happen however they happen??? It might even sound kind of “wrong”. You might think to yourself that everything good in your life has been built by the achiever in you who knows how to get great things accomplished. But what if all of that power and passion you bring to your work and your life could be directed toward a life of ease? What if “easy” doesn’t mean what you think it does? This is a tiny little nuance that will not only change the way you think about the word “easy” but will (hopefully) revolutionize the way you experience your life.

In this episode, I unpack how that drive for security shows up at work.What You'll Learn When You Listen:Why Type 6s ask questions and why that's a strength, not a problemHow Type 6s build trust, loyalty, and reliability on teamsThe Guardian leadership style and how it protects organizationsCommon stress points for Type 6s at work (especially during change or uncertainty)How the three instinctual biases shape different expressions of Type 6Growth insights through Type 6's arrows to Type 9 and Type 3How to give feedback to Type 6s in a way that builds confidence instead of doubtTry This at Work:If you're a Type 6: Notice when your questions are actually asking for reassurance. Pause and remind yourself of the evidence that you can handle what's in front of you.If you work with a Type 6: Don't dismiss their questions or concerns. Most of the time, they're thinking ahead and protecting the team from issues others haven't considered yet.For Teams & Leaders: Type 6s bring steadiness, commitment, and preparation to teams, especially when things feel uncertain. They're often the people thinking through worst-case scenarios so everyone else can move forward with confidence.Teams work best with Type 6s when there's clear communication, follow-through, and trust. When Type 6s feel informed and included, they become some of the most reliable and supportive teammates and leaders you can have.Have a request for a future episode? Drop a text here!

Send us a textIn this deeply honest solo episode, Justin Roethlingshoefer opens up about a triggering moment that forced him to confront the cultural lie of “hustle harder.” After seeing a client publicly champion a work-until-you-break mentality—the very mindset that once led them to burnout—Justin reflects on the destructive pursuit of worth through achievement.He unpacks how striving steals our peace, fractures our identity, and disconnects us from God's rhythms. Drawing from past personal battles with burnout and insights from his recent conversation with worship artist Pat Barrett, Justin explores the life-changing power of contentment: needing nothing, proving nothing, and operating from God-given identity instead of worldly ambition.This episode is a call to pause, evaluate the lies you've believed about success, and realign your life with the rhythms God designed you to thrive in. Whether you're on the brink of burnout or simply tired of the chase, Justin offers a path back to peace, presence, and purpose.TakeawaysThe world's version of success often leads to decay, disconnection, and burnout.Striving for validation costs your health, peace, and relationships.Contentment—not achievement—is what unlocks true creativity, freedom, and capacity.Boundaries are spiritual: they create presence, peace, and protection.Integration doesn't mean constant work—it requires intentional separation and presence.You can't operate in your calling while living in chaos.Your body signals misalignment through anxiety, exhaustion, weight gain, and brain fog.God designed rhythms of rest, obedience, and peace so you can thrive.Living by the world's expectations leads to destruction; living by God's design leads to purpose.Healing comes from alignment—not more effort, but more surrender.Sound Bites“The world applauds burnout—but it destroys your soul.”“A content person is dangerous because they need nothing from anyone.”“If you have no boundaries, you have no presence. Without presence, you have no peace.”“Striving steals your health, but obedience restores it.”“Your body is telling you the truth—even when the world is lying to you.”Chapters00:00 — Welcome & Introduction01:30 — The Instagram Post That Triggered Everything03:00 — The Dangerous Lie of Work-Obsessed Culture05:00 — Wisdom from Pat Barrett: The Power of Contentment06:30 — Why Needing Nothing Makes You More Creative07:30 — Integration vs. Disintegration: The Misuse of “Balance”10:00 — When Work Consumes Family, Health, and Identity11:30 — The Real Cost of Hustle Culture12:30 — From Burnout to Breakthrough: A Client's Story14:00 — Worldly Success vs. God-Given Design15:00 — How the Body Reveals Misalignment16:00 — Moving Back Into Alignment With God's Rhythms17:00 — A Call to Self-Awareness, Correction, and Surrender===========================Subscribe and Listen to the Own It Show HERE:➡︎ YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@justinroethlingshoefer➡︎ Apple Podcasts:https://apple.co/3KCyN3j➡︎ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3F58Ez4lbIKQ6kMu2pfpIG===========================Resources:⚡️CHECK OUR PROGRAMS: https://ownitcoaching.com/programs/⚡️BOOK: https://thepowerofownershipbook.com/=========================== Connect with Justin Roethlingshoefer on Social Media:➡︎ linkedin.com/in/justin-roethlingshoefer➡︎https://www.instagram.com/justinroeth/?hl=en

Francis Chan invites us to linger at the foot of the cross and fix our eyes on Jesus. Drawing from the story of Gethsemane and 2 Peter 1, Francis reminds us that we've been given “everything we need for life and godliness,” called to become partakers of the divine nature, and urged to “make every effort” toward virtue, knowledge, self-control, steadfastness, godliness, brotherly affection, and love. He calls us to worship without distraction, to pursue holiness with grit, and to live for what is unseen and eternal (2 Corinthians 4). Scripture references: Matthew 26:36–46; Isaiah 53:10; 2 Peter 1:1–9; Ezekiel 36–37; 2 Corinthians 4:17–18. This message was originally delivered at the Passion Conference (2014).
