Blame versus Take Responsibility...What Happens to YOUR Life? If I lame other people or experiences for being unfit, fat, tired, having a job I don't like, being broke, having horrible people in my life-HOW can I fix those challenges? If I take responsibility and change the things that got me into the challenges I have, could I actually “Live my life to the MAX?”

California Law makers have stopped a bill that would have helped people affected by wildfires. For more, KCBS Radio News Anchor Jason Brooks spoke with KCBS Insider Phil Matier.

On today's show, Scoot continues the conversation about the death of the 17-year-old falling down stairs to his death inside the long-abandoned Plaza Tower. Threats to freedom of the press should never be taken lightly, especially when they come from the president or the federal government. If media outlets are being pressured over negative coverage of the president, shouldn't every American be concerned, even if they do not like the media? Should the government have more power to punish media companies it believes are unfair? Former Cowboys quarterback and CBS broadcaster Tony Romo is taking responsibility after drinking and driving, and says pain from his football career eventually led to an over-reliance on alcohol. Have you ever had to admit you had a problem with alcohol? What finally made you take responsibility, how did you get help, and how do you feel now? Then, Larry Rolling from Kelly Kicking Cancer joins Scoot to talk about their upcoming "Who's Got Talent Gala" and the work they do raising money for brain cancer research and scholarships. Finally, Lauren Haydel from Fleurty Girl joins Scoot to talk about the “Legendolly” T-shirt fundraiser for Dolly Parton's Imagination Library and how a local New Orleans shirt is helping put free books into the hands of kids who need them.

You will never be happy. You will never be successful. Not until you learn how to take responsibility. That means accepting the role you play in your world being exactly what it is right now, not 25% of it, all of it. Niyi breaks down the difference between excuses and responsibility. An excuse is a reason for your failure with one job: to protect you from the pain of failure and the weight of owning it. Responsibility is different. It's accepting the full weight of your reality with no chaser. Identifying what you did or didn't do that caused where you're at. Then identifying the new goal and taking action toward it. When you fail, go inward first. Not outward. Not at your circumstances, not at other people. No guilt. No shame. Just reality. Your goals are your responsibility. If you don't have them yet, it's usually one of three things: lack of action, lack of accountability, or no system. That's it. That's the whole diagnosis.

A lady blamed her classmate's boyfriend for her pregnancy nine years ago after she says she was raped by her neighbour. According to her, the neighbour sent her to buy water before taking her to his room and raping her. Afraid to reveal what had happened, she blamed her classmate's boyfriend for the pregnancy. Nine years later, she regrets her decision and wants the man she says raped her to take a DNA test to determine if he is the father of her child and, if confirmed, take responsibility. (Continued story)

Godly men don't make excuses. They take ownership. Our culture celebrates blame-shifting while biblical manhood embraces responsibility. Real men don't ask, "Who's responsible?" They ask, "What can I own?" About the Series: The world doesn't need perfect men. It needs godly men who refuse to drift. In a culture offering countless, and often conflicting, ideas about manhood, Scripture calls men to something better: courage over passivity, responsibility over apathy, humility over pride, sacrifice over selfishness, and character over compromise. Throughout this four-week series, we'll look at what it means to stand firm in our faith, win the battles within, take responsibility, and build a legacy that points others to Jesus. Because when men live like Jesus, families grow stronger, churches become healthier, and future generations are changed.

Can an avoidant man actually change — or are you wired this way for good? If you've been told you're "emotionally unavailable," or you keep pushing away the person who gets closest, this is where it starts. In this episode I break down what it actually takes to rewire avoidant attachment — not as a personality you're stuck with, but as programming you can change. We go through the six things I work on with the men I coach — including the emotional capacity you were never taught, why you pull away exactly when it gets real, and how to stop reacting from panic. I also tell you about Ruben — a man who spent 15 years avoiding commitment. What happened when he did the work surprised even me. This is episode 1 of the Avoidant Men series.   0:00 Introduction 2:41 The Real Problem: Programming, Not Broken 4:38 Ruben's Story 6:28 Step 1: Take Responsibility 7:30 Step 2: Build Emotional Capacity 9:08 Step 3: Lean In, Not Out 10:20 Step 4: Challenge Your "Fairy Tales" 11:50 Step 5: Overshoot Communication 13:35 Step 6: Regulate Your Nervous System 15:00 The Next Step — If you're ready to go deeper than a video, my RELATE community is where men do this work together — link below. — If you're ready to go deeper than a video, my RELATE community is where men do this work together — link below.     _   RELATE:   

Blame feels powerful. But it keeps you stuck.It's easy to point at our circumstances, our past, or other people and explain why life is the way it is. But real freedom begins when we stop asking, "Whose fault is it?" and start asking, "What's my responsibility?"You can't always choose what happens to you. But you can choose what happens next.The buck stops with me.

We're digging deep into the essentials of prospecting and lead generation with guests Brynne Tillman, Jeff Bajorek, and Caryn Kopp this week. They share their top actionable do's and don'ts, revealing prospecting strategies that they have found to work. You'll hear real-world success stories—from making warm connections on LinkedIn to the power of consistent, quality touchpoints and the importance of solving your client's real challenges, not just following the standard playbook.    Outline of This Episode   [05:53] Challenges of prospecting and leads [07:09] Taking ownership of the sales process [09:52] Balancing business responsibilities [13:11] Recognizing success and solving problems [19:18] Case study of following up with a longtime client [20:43] Phone call preparation tips Building Genuine Connections Prospecting is about people, not profiles. Brynne Tillman cautions against three critical mistakes—connecting and immediately pitching, connecting and then ignoring, and limiting your network solely to those who seem immediately sellable. Instead, she recommends sales professionals to connect and start a conversation, treating the person on the other side of the screen as if they were right across the table. The focus should never be detached from humanity: "Do not detach this human being from as if they were in a real-life, physical situation... this is our reality today. Almost everything is virtual and remote". Engagement is the heartbeat of meaningful prospecting. It's not about going through the motions of a process but cultivating conversations that add value, recognizing that everyone who interacts with you deserves your attention and energy.  Take Responsibility, Don't Outsource Your Success Jeff Bajorek emphasizes taking ownership of the entire lead-generation process. Take responsibility for it, and don't default to blaming others if your pipeline isn't full. Even in companies with dedicated sales development representatives, account executives should actively nurture leads and stay versatile throughout the process. Absolutely DON'T spam or " spray and pray," remember that technology is a tool for scale, not for selling itself. Scaling ineffective outreach just amplifies ineffectiveness. Jeff recommends learning through direct engagement—by overcoming objections, understanding customer pain points, and refining methods through real-world experience. He realized that, despite not always following industry-sanctioned scripts, his approach—filled with referrals and authentic connections—kept his pipeline thriving.    Respect, Consistency, and Quality Touchpoints Caryn Kopp strongly suggests that sales professionals discard rigid scripts in favor of authentic, quality conversations, always remembering that prospects are people first. Persistence is essential—50% of prospects never receive a second follow-up call, even though building relationships takes time. A story from her early days illustrates the profound impact of personalized follow-ups. By meticulously noting a prospect's story about an adopted dog's peculiar fear, and referencing it months later, Caryn was able to foster trust and stand out from competitors. Every touchpoint will either build or ruin a relationship.   Connect with Brynne Tillman Brynne Tillman on LinkedIn  Brynne Tillman on X    Connect with Jeff Bajorek  Jeff Bajorek on LinkedIn  Jeff Bajorek on X  Connect with Caryn Kopp Caryn Kopp on LinkedIn  Caryn Kopp on X    Connect With Paul Watts  LinkedIn Twitter    Subscribe to SALES REINVENTED Audio Production and Show notes by PODCAST FAST TRACK https://www.podcastfasttrack.com

Are you waiting for the right moment to start living your life? In this episode of the Via Stoica Podcast, we look at what Stoic philosophy says about responsibility: not the kind the self-help world sells you, but the deeper, more demanding kind. The responsibility for your own soul.Welcome to the Via Stoica Podcast, the podcast on Stoicism. Here, philosophy is not theory. It is a daily practice of honest choices, taken one moment at a time.Most of us are waiting for something. For the situation to improve, for permission, for the stars to align. But every moment spent waiting is a moment of handing over the wheel to someone else and hoping they are driving in your direction. The Stoics called this the loss of your prohairesis: your capacity to choose, to act, and to become who you are.Self-knowledge is where this starts. You cannot take responsibility for someone you do not know. That means sitting with the uncomfortable parts, the patterns, the past experiences, the beliefs you have never examined. Not to judge them, but to understand them. Because once you know where you are, you can begin moving toward where you want to go.The lights are already on green. This episode will remind you of that.Support the show

Dr. Tamsin Astor is a neuroscientist who studies habits in teams. She is a habit and leadership strategist and helps leaders and organizations transform the way they work, connect, and live — by linking the tiny, daily habits we overlook to the big, legacy-level visions we care about most. With a PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience and 20+ years of research-driven practice, she blends habit science, mindfulness, and conscious leadership to help high-impact humans regulate their nervous systems, deepen trust with their teams, and lead from presence rather than pressure. Her work sits where evidence-based psychology meets humanity. Through workshops, retreats, executive coaching, and long-term organizational partnerships, she brings leaders back to their Big Juicy Why: so decisions feel aligned, relationships strengthen, and teams thrive without burnout or emotional leakage. She is known for her bold honesty, contagious joy, and ability to turn complex inner work into accessible frameworks like Pause – Notice – Choose, making emotional intelligence practical instead of theoretical. Her programs weave neuroscience with story, embodiment, and humor, helping people feel both seen and stretched — supported and challenged — grounded and awake. Tamsin has built her career on one truth: when leaders are regulated, resourced, and rooted in purpose, everything changes. Work cultures soften. Innovation returns. People feel safe enough to contribute, speak up, and stay. And success becomes rich, relational, and sustainable: not just profitable. She's a mother of three, a lover of live music, travel, dark roast coffee, smoky street tacos and museums, and a regular at Zen meditation sessions and life drawing classes. She believes in truth over polish, connection over performance, and building lives: not just résumés. Her children have been the greatest source of inspiration and learning as she has navigated hospital wards in oncology, nephrology, otolaryngology, immunology, psychiatry, cardiology in her 22 years of parenting! Tamsin has recently launched a new podcast titled HOT HABITS with DR TAMSIN PODCAST.

Daryl and Lance discuss what they think Kenny Atkinson should have said following the Cavaliers' game 3 loss to the Knicks.

Send us Fan MailWaiting for perfect roads, perfect power, and perfect institutions sounds reasonable until you ask one uncomfortable question: who pays for the fixes? That's the thread we pull in this conversation, starting with a classic chicken-and-egg problem about development. Do people create the state, or does the state create the conditions for people to thrive? We argue that the honest answer is messy, but history shows a clear pattern: robust private companies often come first, and public institutions mature in response.We lean on Professor Ndubisi Ekekwe's idea that Africa's development requires accepting a “structural invasion” where private enterprise leads before government becomes fully capable. From Rockefeller shaping the early US oil sector to the rise of rail and finance before modern regulation, the timeline matters. Institutions still matter deeply, but there's no global playbook where nations build flawless public systems first and only then get prosperous firms. More often, entrepreneurs build in imperfect conditions, create jobs and value, generate tax revenue, and then the state finally has the resources and pressure needed for institutional reform.From there, we bring it home to Nigeria's reality: urbanization outpacing industrialization, limited budgets, and the temptation to delay investment until everything is fixed. We make the case for capacity building, personal responsibility, and higher standards like corporate governance as the bridge between individual growth and national progress. We also challenge crab mentality and call on established operators in sectors like oil and gas, manufacturing, and production to lift smaller players, because shared prosperity reduces strain across society.If this sparks a reaction, don't keep it to yourself: follow the show, listen on Spotify or YouTube, share it with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find these conversations.Support the showYou can support this show via the link below;https://www.buzzsprout.com/1718587/supporters/new

Send us Fan MailIn Episode 222, "I Release my Past & Take Responsibility: I Am Presence," Maya delivers a deeply personal and transformative transmission centered on the "5/5 portal." She reflects on her 40-year journey in health and spirituality, moving from a period of "3D amnesia" and struggle into a state of galactic sovereignty.Here is a summary of the key themes and declarations from the episode:1. The Descent into the AbyssMaya candidly discusses a 15-year period of spiritual "battering" and a 3-year "vertigo pull" into a deep abyss. She acknowledges that despite her decades of service, she often fell into the traps of the matrix:The "Cha-Cha" of Growth: Experiencing strides forward followed by painful reverses.The Illusion of Otherness: Making mistakes driven by expectations, judgment, and the need for control.Resistance: Realizing that her own resistance to these life lessons actually prolonged her suffering and fed the "monster" of fear and resentment.2. The Galactic Rescue & AwakeningThe turning point began in late 2025 and early 2026, coincided with astronomical events and the arrival of the Galactic Federation of Light.The Motherships: Maya describes a "merciful rescue mission" where celestial beings began repairing Earth's grid.Refinement by Fire: She recontextualizes her years of torture not as random attacks, but as a meticulous "surgical recalibration" by the Divine Creator to return her to a state of Oneness.3. Radical Responsibility & The "5/5 Portal"Maya uses this specific portal to declare her absolute sovereignty. She shifts from a victim of her circumstances to the conscious creator of her reality:Owning the Ignorance: She takes full responsibility for not recognizing her past challenges as sacred gifts.Dissolving the Chasm: By stopping the cycle of blame and shame, she ceases to "feed" the energy of separation.4. Ritual of Forgiveness and Release (The "Tatastu" Declarations)The episode concludes with a powerful series of decrees, using the Sanskrit word Tatastu (meaning "So be it"):Self-Forgiveness: Releasing the self for what could not have been known sooner.Global Forgiveness: Releasing and blessing everyone who played a "dark role" in her evolution, recognizing them as catalysts for her Light.Cutting Cords: Formally canceling soul contracts that have outlived their purpose.Gratitude to Allies: Honoring Archangel Michael, Lord Ashtar, the Arcturians, Sirians, and Andromedans for their massive galactic work in securing Earth's portals, grids, and much more.Core MessageThe episode serves as a public "Divine Covenant." Maya's message is that the time of "otherness" is over. By assuming full responsibility for her past and acknowledging the presence of Galactic Light, she has stepped onto the threshold of a new, free reality."I have awoken. I am in the threshold... I am taking back my full sovereignty Now."Support the showMay Peace Be Your Journey:Maya's approach transcends modern feminism by advocating for a holistic restoration of balance, moving beyond the fight for basic rights to reclaiming the innate power of the divine feminine, which includes procreation, forgiveness, nourishment, and cosmic creativity.

Crucial Moments: How Couples Can Navigate Triggers Without Destroying Connection Episode Overview What happens when a trigger hits in your relationship—and everything escalates? In this episode of the Human Intimacy Podcast, Dr. Kevin Skinner and MaryAnn Michaelis break down what they call “crucial moments”—those intense emotional experiences where couples either move toward healing or fall back into painful patterns. If you've ever found yourself stuck in the same argument, feeling unheard, or overwhelmed by emotional reactions, this episode will help you understand why those patterns happen—and how to change them. Why Triggers Feel So Overwhelming When a trigger hits, your brain shifts into survival mode. The amygdala activates, your nervous system becomes dysregulated, and your ability to communicate effectively drops. This is why: Conversations escalate quickly You repeat the same arguments You feel misunderstood or dismissed Your partner becomes defensive or shuts down Key Insight: You cannot create connection when your body is in a fight-or-flight state. The Missing Step in Relationship Repair Most couples try to fix the relationship while they're emotionally flooded. Dr. Skinner emphasizes a critical principle: Stabilize yourself first. Then engage your partner. Without emotional regulation, even the best communication tools won't work. Common Mistakes Couples Make During Conflict Many couples unknowingly reinforce disconnection during triggers. Watch for these patterns: 1. Marathon Conversations Trying to resolve everything in one conversation while both partners are overwhelmed 2. Defensiveness Disguised as Empathy Statements like: “I didn't mean to hurt you” “I'm sorry you feel that way” These often feel minimizing instead of supportive 3. Relying Only on Your Partner for Regulation Expecting your partner to calm you down when they may also be triggered 4. Repeating the Same Cycle Having the same argument over and over without new tools or awareness How to Respond in Triggered Moments (What Actually Works) 1. Pause and Regulate Before responding, ask yourself: Am I emotionally stable right now? Is my body calm enough to have this conversation? If not, step away and regulate first. 2. Use Outside Support Sometimes your partner is not the right person in that moment to help you regulate. Consider: A trusted friend A support group A mentor or sponsor This can help you return to the conversation with clarity. 3. Shift from Reactivity to Curiosity Instead of reacting, try: “Help me understand what you're experiencing” “Tell me more about what you're feeling” This lowers defensiveness and builds connection. 4. Take Responsibility for Your Emotional Response Your emotions are valid—but how you express them matters. Healthy communication includes: Emotional honesty Self-awareness Respectful expression Understanding the Power Struggle in Relationships After betrayal or disconnection, couples often fall into power imbalances: One partner holds information or control The other feels uncertain, hurt, or reactive True healing requires moving away from: “One-up / one-down” dynamics And toward: Mutual honesty, vulnerability, and accountability Why Some Couples Stay Stuck for Years If you feel like you're not making progress, it's often due to: Incomplete or staggered disclosure Lack of emotional regulation skills Repeating patterns without addressing root issues Avoiding deeper vulnerability Key Insight: Without new skills, the same patterns will continue—no matter how much you talk. A Better Way Forward Healing doesn't come from saying more—it comes from learning how to show up differently. That includes: Regulating your nervous system Communicating with clarity and compassion Practicing new patterns consistently Building emotional safety over time Key Takeaways You cannot be relational when you are emotionally dysregulated Personal stabilization is the foundation of relationship repair Triggers require skillful responses, not reactive ones Both partners play a role in creating change Progress comes from practice, not just insight Resources Mentioned in This Episode Intimacy Repair Method (IRM) Course Emotional Regulation & Nervous System Awareness Structured Disclosure Process Role Play Practice for Communication Skills Call to Action If your relationship feels stuck in repetitive conflict, you don't have to keep guessing. The Intimacy Repair Method Course provides a step-by-step process to help couples: Rebuild trust Improve communication Create lasting emotional connection

In this episode of The D Shift, Mardi Winder speaks with mediator, speaker, and host of the Amicable Divorce Expert podcast, Judith Weigle, about what it really takes to navigate an amicable divorce and why communication and timing play a critical role in the process.Judith shares her journey into mediation and offers a grounded perspective on what “amicable” truly means. Rather than agreeing on everything, an amicable divorce is about the ability to have productive conversations, even in the midst of emotional stress and uncertainty.Mardi and Judith explore how communication breakdown is often at the core of relationship challenges and how those same patterns can show up in mediation. With the right guidance and support, however, couples can learn to communicate more effectively, leading to better outcomes during divorce and beyond.This episode highlights:• What an amicable divorce really means• Why communication is the foundation of successful mediation• How timing impacts the divorce process from start to finish• Common challenges people face when navigating divorce discussions• How professionals can support better outcomes without increasing conflictThe conversation also highlights the importance of allowing both parties the time they need to process the emotional aspects of divorce before moving too quickly into legal decisions. Judith explains how rushing the process can create resistance, while thoughtful pacing can lead to more balanced and sustainable agreements.About the Guest:JUDITH M. WEIGLE, Mediator, Podcast Host, Professional Speaker Her company, Divorce Resource, Inc., provides both mediation and filing services in family law. Judith is one of those rare individuals who can make you laugh while you're going through a painful experience. Her ability to see through the complexities of emotion in order to help people think through and reach a negotiated settlement is unparalleled in the field of divorce mediation.Her TEDx talk "Secrets to an Amicable Divorce" displays these traits. Host of THE Amicable Divorce Expert podcast Judith promotes amicable divorces. Weigle is also author of the Internet sensation My Office Is a 3-Ring Circus!

JOIN SHERI HORN HASAN @ https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking for the latest podcast which drops today April 10!CAPRICORN MOON SQUARE THE ARIES SUN DEMANDS RESPONSIBLE—NOT RECKLESS—ACTION! We're right now still in the waning stages of the Pisces New Moon monthly lunar cycle which began on March 18. That's until we hit the Aries New Moon, which will occur on April 17 at 27'29” degrees of Aries at 4:52 am PT & 7:52 am ET next Friday, April 17.Between now & then, however, we're dealing still with the mission to grow into feeling greater empathy for our fellow humans. Challenged at the Libra Full Moon on April 1 to release any tendency toward going it alone by shunning the advice or support of allies, this waning third quarter square—known as a “crisis in consciousness”—relates to the tension between acting impulsively & understanding our responsibility to others.Therefore, the Saturn-ruled Capricorn Moon, which represents “the people” in mundane astrology, now demands a stop to the unbridled, impatient, impetuous choices & actions made by the Mars-ruled Aries Sun (the leader) without consideration of the opinions or advice of its partners.The Saturn-ruled Capricorn Moon also archetypally represents of “the judge,” the symbol of wisdom & justice. So, it's now at this third quarter waning lunar “crisis in consciousness” square that people are more consciously judging the consequences--& wisdom--of such a leader's actions. That's because it's now abundantly clear the U.S. acted independently of its NATO allies by waging war with Israel against Iran. And that such actions have proven impulsive, lacked strategic insight or well-defined achievable goals, & did not include not well thought out possible negative consequences. We are now at the point where people are demanding that the U.S. (& Israel by extension, since both are led by leaders who favor violent retribution rather than negotiation) sit down & act more responsibly. Especially since this is in keeping with the current month's lunar cycle's message of empathy.This third quarter square late on April 9/early April 10 was preceded by Mars' entrance into its own sign of Aries on April 9, so let me say a word or two about Mars in Aries. While Mars' entrance into its own sign of Aries increases the risk of impulsive action, it reminds us also of what are the highest & best uses of Mars' energies.And that—given that Mars' positive attributes include motivation, ambition, & assertion—the best use of Mars' energies relate to being motivated to come to the defense of, & protect, those weaker & less able to do so for themselves. Because the choice is always up to us, we can opt for hasty decisions that further our recklessness, or ones that are tempered by realizing negotiation doesn't mean surrender; rather it means the balancing of interests between parties.Given the general theme of the Pisces New Moon monthly lunar cycle as it wanes this week, we might understand that the upcoming Aries New Moon will give us the opportunity to do just that BECAUSE we've not grown those seeds of empathy for our fellow humans into a healthy enough plant by April 17.We'll talk more about that next week. However, right now we can see that this week brings--in addition to Mars entrance into Aries until he moves into Venus-ruled Taurus May 18—a plethora of Aries energy including the Sun, Saturn, Neptune, & Mars. That this will increase as the week goes on to include Mercury's move into Mars-ruled Aries on April 14, which may well create additional bombastic rhetoric for those who are already martially inclined. Implications include those who like to talk a lot—including those in power such as the U.S. Congress, which has a lot to consider as they return from their two-week recess on April 13, just after the Mars/Neptune conjunction in Aries late April 12/early April 13, depending on your time zone.Together, we've got a recipe for potential deceit by those who insist on rhetoric that feeds into what some of us may want to hear, but which lacks actual facts. In short, we're cautioned to be “careful of people who appeal to you through your favorite ideals or delusions and then take you for a ride,” as astrologer Rob Hand describes this aspect in his book “Planets In Transit.”By April 16 when the Sun conjoins wounded healer Chiron in Aries we may begin to see how our actions have wounded others, & how this annual cycle may allow us to promote healing—for both ourselves & othersAlso that day we have Mars in Aries sextiling Pluto in Aquarius, & we may see new plans replace old ones in ways that provide the opportunity for developing a clearer objective. That's probably most likely if we take this sextile's opportunity to engage in negotiations rather than trying to use it as an opportunity to gain more power over our opponents.When Mercury conjoins Neptune in Aries late April 16/early April 17, it will be more important than ever for us to rely on our critical thinking capabilities in order to discern between fact & fiction. While good for creative insights & artistic expressions—especially of the more subtle kind—this aspect a lack of honesty making any kind of negotiations & communication unclear & confusing in nature.That this is what will lead to the Aries New Moon April 17 can be seen also in the fact that there is bound to be a lot of frustration building between now & April 19 when Mars conjoins with Saturn in Aries. That's an aspect that denotes feeling like one is banging one's head against a brick wall. In Aries, it's particularly frustrating, which is likely the situation as the Aries New Moon begins a new monthly lunar cycle on April 17 as this Mars/Saturn energy is waxing.Join us for all this & more Astro News You Can Use @ https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking starting today!

But biblical responsibility isn't about shame—it's about freedom.   In this conversation, you'll learn:   The difference between shame and godly conviction Why taking even 2% responsibility can change everything How generational patterns show up in your marriage The cycle of blame, avoidance, and escalation—and how to break it What it looks like to take ownership without carrying all the weight Practical questions to help you respond differently in conflict   You'll also hear real-life examples of how God brings healing—even in the most broken situations—and how taking responsibility moves you out of a victim mindset and into hope.

When the mission ends, the questions often begin. Jeremy Stalnecker spent years building his identity around service, leadership, and responsibility as a United States Marine infantry officer. But when combat ended and the uniform came off, Jeremy found himself facing a different kind of battle, one marked by anger, isolation, loss of identity, and a quiet belief that he was completely alone. This episode traces Jeremy's journey from combat leadership to personal collapse, and ultimately to clarity. Through painful self-reflection, accountability, faith, and community, Jeremy discovered that the wounds carried after service are not signs of weakness, they are invitations to heal. His story speaks to anyone who has ever lost their sense of purpose after a major life transition and wondered if hope was still possible. Guest Bio Jeremy Stalnecker is the CEO of the Mighty Oaks Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to helping military service members, veterans, first responders, and their families heal from the unseen wounds of trauma, including PTSD. Raised in San Jacinto, California, Jeremy pursued his lifelong goal of becoming a United States Marine, earning an active-duty commission in 1999 and serving as an infantry platoon commander with 1st Battalion, 5th Marines, 1st Marine Division. In 2003, Jeremy deployed to Kuwait and Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, where his unit breached the berm separating Kuwait and Iraq and helped secure Baghdad. Following his return from combat, Jeremy transitioned into full-time ministry, serving first as an Assistant Pastor at Coastline Baptist Church in Oceanside, California, and later as Senior Pastor of Bay Area Baptist Church in Fremont, California. In 2015, he joined Mighty Oaks full time, uniting his military experience and ministry calling to help others find healing, identity, and purpose after trauma. Jeremy and his wife Susanne are the parents of four children and remain deeply committed to serving those who are hurting.

You can admire spiritual maturity from a distance, or you can take your formation journey seriously. Many of us prefer the former. We outsource growth to personalities, call delayed obedience "wisdom," and bargain with God when surrender would cost too much. This week on Win Today, Dr. Eric Mason joins me to confront the quiet drift that hollows discipleship: the consumer posture that fuels bad teaching, the spiritual immaturity that bargains with God, and the confusion that happens when we make our assignment our purpose. If your faith has been built around sermons more than Scripture, preferences more than practices, or outcomes more than obedience, this conversation is your invitation to grow up on purpose, with the Spirit, for the long road of holiness. Guest Bio Dr. Eric Mason is the founder and lead pastor of Epiphany Fellowship in Philadelphia and the founder/president of Thriving, an urban ministry training leaders for city contexts. A pastor-theologian for nearly three decades, he has preached and trained nationally and internationally and authored several books. He holds a B.S. in Psychology (Bowie State), a Th.M. from Dallas Theological Seminary—where he was mentored by Dr. Tony Evans at Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship—and a D.Min. from Gordon-Conwell. Eric and his wife, Yvette, live in Philadelphia with their four children: Immanuel, Nehemiah, Ephraim, and Amalyah.
