Podcasts about transforming lives

In this powerful message from Pastor Karl, we journey beyond the manger to discover the timeless roots of Christmas in the Garden of Eden. Christmas is far more than a seasonal vibe—it's the profound story of God's unchanging love, revealed through proximity, provision, and loving parameters.Drawing parallels between Eden and Bethlehem, Pastor Karl shows how God has always pursued us: walking closely with humanity, generously providing what we cannot obtain ourselves, and setting protective boundaries for our good. Yet, from the beginning, humanity has often rejected this love, doubting God's goodness and choosing our own way.The heart of the gospel shines through as Pastor Karl reminds us that even in our rejection, God's love pursues and covers us—first promised in Genesis with the crushing of the serpent's head through the seed of the woman, and perfectly fulfilled in the incarnation of Jesus, Emmanuel, "God with us."This message challenges us: Will we embrace not just the warmth of Christmas, but the weighty claims of Christmas—God's call to love Him fully with our whole heart, soul, mind, and strength through belonging to His family, becoming like Christ, giving generously, and going on mission?A stirring reminder that God's everlasting love didn't begin in Bethlehem—it was set in motion from the very beginning, for you and me.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 8:00am 9:30am & 11:00am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

Have you ever felt like you're doing meaningful work… yet something inside you knows you're not fully aligned with what you're truly meant to do? Do you sense you have a message, a lesson, or a lived experience that could help others—but you're unsure how to shape it, communicate it, or even recognize its value?What if the story you're already living is the key to your next level of clarity, influence, and impact?In this episode, we sit down with Bill Blankschaen, founder and Chief Story Architect of StoryBuilders—a company devoted to telling stories that make the world a better place by helping leaders turn their ideas into compelling books and learning experiences that multiply their impact, influence, and income.Bill's journey—from Christian school founder and pastor, to stepping into the unknown with six kids and no guaranteed income, to becoming a trusted guide for bestselling authors, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders—reveals the power of knowing your story and telling it well. Through candid reflections on calling, clarity, identity, faith, family leadership, and the “normalcy trap,” Bill shows why most people underestimate the value of their lived experiences—and how storytelling can unlock purpose at home, at work, and in your mission.Whether you're an entrepreneur, parent, mentor, or creator, this episode will help you think differently about who you are, what you've lived, and how your story can change others' lives.Quotes:“Clarity just eliminates friction and draws people to you that you want to be drawn to you. You have to have that clarity before you can expand that influence.”“Your story is about you, but your story isn't for you. You are there to serve someone—your story is there to serve a purpose.”“The battle belongs to God, not to you. Sometimes you need to let go and let Him fight it.”Actionable TakeawaysBreak the “normalcy trap” by naming the value in your own story.Write down three life experiences you've dismissed as “normal,” and ask: How could this help someone who's 5–10 years behind me? This exercise reveals hidden insights you've been overlooking.Clarify your identity before your message.Using Bill's principle that clarity precedes influence, take 10 minutes to answer: Who am I really called to be? Who is my story for—and who is it not for? Identity drives communication, leadership, and purpose.Define the story your family or team is living in right now.Ask yourself: What story am I unconsciously telling at home or at work? Is it an intentional narrative or an accidental one? Pick one tradition, phrase, or practice to reinforce the culture you want to build.Turn one life lesson into a teachable framework.Choose a challenge you've overcome, then outline the three steps someone else could follow. This becomes the foundation for a book chapter, workshop, keynote, or coaching process.Practice surrender by identifying what you're gripping too tightly.Bill shared how breakthrough came when he released control and allowed God to lead. Reflect on one area—business, family, or personal identity—where you need to loosen your grip and allow clarity, peace, or guidance to emerge.ConclusionThis conversation is a powerful reminder that your story is one of your greatest assets—personally, professionally, and spiritually. When you gain clarity about who you are and what your experiences mean, you unlock influence, purpose, and direction.Bill challenges us to stop overlooking the value in our own lives and start telling our stories with intention. Your experiences aren't accidental—they're assignments. And when you share them with clarity and courage, you create impact far beyond yourself.Breakthrough begins when you decide to own your story.

People who live on the streets, homeless and alone, need one thing first and foremost: LOVE. Pastor Rodrigo Santos, a missionary in South Africa with Grace of God International Church, shares how the homeless and suffering desperately need compassion from other believers. He grew up serving others in Brazil and then was inspired to help show God's love to the homeless population in Rio, after seeing so many people struggling to survive on the streets. Most people, he says, are not homeless because they want to be, but because of some terrible life circumstance that put them there. As fellow believers, we must come to their aid. And while donations of food and clothing are always appreciated, the most important thing we can do is teach them the Gospel. “Once their mindset changes, everything changes,” Rodrigo says.TAKEAWAYSHomeless people are humans just like us - they have real feelings and real dreams and any one of us can find ourselves homelessIt's not just about giving food, it's about changing the heartSee the needs of the people in the community around you and address them as you canThe church is most effective in addressing the homeless issue when believers come together to figure out a solution

What if legal help in India could begin not with fear, but with awareness? Earlier this month, while I was in my office, Susheel Bellara sent me a message on LinkedIn. Four hours later, he was sitting across from me. As we spoke about Haq Se and the quiet revolution he's building, we decided, spontaneously, to hit record. No preparation, no lights or makeup, no agenda. Just two people talking about a platform that could genuinely help both litigants and lawyers. That is how this episode was born: raw, simple, and honest. In this special episode of The Daily Lawyer Podcast, I sit down with Barrister Sushil Bellara, founder of Haq Se : a free, non-profit platform designed to make legal understanding accessible to everyone. Through Haq Se, families and individuals can: Estimate realistic maintenance amounts using a calculator based off Supreme court judgments on maintenance Access mediation support under India's new Mediation Act (Section 5) Connect with trusted NGOs, pro bono lawyers, and counsellors Safely record, and send to a trusted source in real-time, incidents of domestic violence (or other traumatic events) through a “Secret Diary” feature Senior members of the judiciary, including former Supreme Court and High Court judges, have already recognised the potential of Haq Se to bridge awareness gaps across India. Listen in to see how technology, empathy, and law can come together to create meaningful change.

In this episode of Men of Influence, host Tim Holloway welcomes Carl Hultgren, a fitness coach with over 26 years of experience, who transitioned from a troubled youth of drugs and alcohol to a life-changing career in personal training. Based in Texas with two gyms and affiliates in California, Carl's passion for preventative fitness stems from his own recovery, having been sober since age 16. After surviving challenges like the 2008 housing crash, he now helps clients transform their lives through fitness, nutrition, and mindset coaching. Carl ties physical fitness to influence, noting that a disciplined, fit physique exudes confidence and respect, signaling a willingness to sacrifice comfort for success, which inspires others.Carl emphasizes discipline over motivation, advocating for foundational habits like lifting weights three times a week, getting 10,000 steps daily, and eating single-ingredient foods like chicken or steak to avoid processed junk. His daily routine—prayer, gym at 4:30 AM, 250 grams of protein, and reading—drives his excellence, rooted in his faith, which was reignited in 2015 after a personal crisis. Progressive overload, consistently increasing workout intensity, fuels exponential growth, while his faith guides him to honor his body as God's temple. Carl's message: don't quit, and do the work you'll stick with to live better.Key Takeaways:Discipline Signals Influence: A fit, disciplined body projects confidence and sacrifice, earning respect and inspiring others.Foundational Habits: Lift weights three times a week, get 10,000 steps daily, and eat single-ingredient foods to build a healthy body.Progressive Overload: Gradually increase workout intensity to adapt and grow stronger, avoiding plateaus.Faith and Fitness: Honor your body as God's temple through consistent exercise and clean eating, driven by purpose.Actionable Step: Lift weights three times this week, even light ones, to start building muscle and longevity.“Discipline trumps motivation every day. Do the work you'll never stop doing to be the man God intended.” - Carl Hultgren

He also recalled the emotional family moment when he dedicated his life to Christ, social work and a mission to mend spiritual wounds. Gomez describes his incredible rise after being released. He attended college earning a master's degree, became an LA County executive and led programs for incarcerated vets, entered a Doctoral program and most recently launched Vet Phoenix.

In this episode of Men of Influence, host Tim Holloway welcomes Mark Tregilgas, known as "Tregs," a 45-year-old fitness coach from South Wales, UK, with nearly 18 years in the industry. As the owner of 30 Plus Men's Fitness, Tregs shares his journey from a nightlife event promoter to finding his calling as a personal trainer after a pivotal 10k run. Inspired by his active parents, he transitioned into fitness at 27, coaching men both online and in-person to optimize their health and energy. Tregs emphasizes that physical fitness enhances confidence, energy, and presence, enabling men to influence others positively by "vibrating differently" and embracing life's challenges without fear of judgment.Tregs outlines a foundational approach to health, starting with sleep, hydration, and daily steps before layering in nutrition (high-protein, calorie-deficit diets) and training. He stresses consistency over quick fixes, warning against reliance on trends like weight loss injections without addressing mindset and environment. Drawing from Atomic Habits by James Clear, Tregs advocates for identity change through small, consistent wins, proving to yourself daily who you want to become. His non-negotiable habits; nighttime tea for sleep, 2-3 liters of water, and 15,000 steps; drive his personal excellence, and he encourages men to start these simple practices immediately for lasting impact.Key Takeaways:Fitness Fuels Influence: A healthy body boosts energy and confidence, enhancing how you show up and influence others in all areas of life.Foundation First: Prioritize sleep, hydration, and daily steps as the base of a healthy lifestyle before adding nutrition and training.Consistency Over Quick Fixes: Sustainable change comes from boring, consistent habits, not short-term challenges or extreme diets.Identity Through Habits: Small daily wins shape your identity, proving to yourself you're disciplined and capable of change.Actionable Step: Start today by drinking 2-3 liters of water, aiming for 7,000-10,000 steps, and creating a nighttime routine for better sleep.“The magic is in the journey; who you become through consistent habits, not just the end result.” - Mark TregilgasLearn more about Tim through the following links:FacebookPodcasting group

Once an ESPN anchor and now the founder of Alcohol-Free Lifestyle, James Swanwick's journey is one of self-discovery, transformation, and the power of choosing kindness for yourself. After giving up alcohol in 2010, James experienced dramatic improvements in his sleep, health, and clarity—changes that inspired him to create Project 90, a program helping high achievers break free from alcohol and unlock their full potential. His story shows that one intentional shift can spark a ripple effect of resilience, purpose, and lasting well-being.  Key Takeaways:  Quitting alcohol creates a domino effect, improving sleep, health, relationships, and overall clarity.  Choosing an alcohol-free lifestyle is one of the greatest acts of kindness you can give yourself.  High achievers often perform at a higher level when they step away from alcohol.  Alcohol disrupts sleep quality, leaving the body working instead of repairing overnight.  Sustainable change comes from loving the alcohol-free lifestyle—not just “white-knuckling” sobriety.  Join us for the Kindness Campaign and help create a ripple of compassion in your community!
