The dialogue also explores the role of fathers in shaping their children's faith and the awakening of a generation towards spirituality. The conversation highlights the significance of finding fulfillment beyond substance use and encourages the next generation to seek joy and purpose in their lives through faith in Jesus Christ.What sets Michael Molthan - M2 The Rock's story apart is the realization that there wasn't just one rock bottom; there were many. And from those challenging moments, he emerged stronger and more determined than ever. Today, he leverages his personal experiences and magnetic, relatable personality to inspire others to embark on their own transformative journeys.

Addiction was Michael's temporary solution to heal from a dark childhood trauma secret. Little did he know that being imprisoned and reading and writing for inmates that could not read or write. On October 13, 2017, Michael was miraculously released 2 years early from prison before completing his sentence. He traveled 300 Miles back to Dallas, Texas, to see Judge Jennifer Bennett to turn himself in.  For the first time Judge Bennett could see this miraculous change that had taken place in Michael's life, so she pardoned him and told him to go “pay it forward”.  That's what Michael Molthan has been doing for the last 7 years.   Michael is the host of The M2 THE ROCK Show, one of the fastest growing shows/podcasts in the country that dives into the topic of self-improvement, spirituality, health, mind, and many more.  Michael Molthan is the author of two books, “300 MILES – Memoir of Michael Molthan” and “Today, I Realize - Daily Devotional 2025” being released in 2025.

We love Paul Griffin here at The Rocky Road. He's been on twice before - for the 30th anniversary of his epic 1991 European gold medal, and 30 years on from Barcelona 92, alongside medallists Michael Carruth and Wayne McCullough. Now he joins us for a deep dive on his 15-year professional career across a two-part episode. He started out under Frank Warren on a 'Prince' Naseem Hamed card in Scotland, going on to train in Sheffield with the world featherweight champ under fellow Dubliner Brendan Ingle. Paul tells us about sparring Hamed and feeling his frightening power, boxing on Steve Collins undercards at Pairc Ui Chaoimh and Millstreet alongside contemporaries Eamonn Magee and Jim Rock, and building an unbeaten record that would ultimately be popped in a do-or-die title fight with Dean Pithie in England. By that stage, Paul was battling inside and outside of the ropes as his addictions to gambling and alcohol started to take hold. As always, spending time with Paul is fun, cathartic and informative. His recollection is superb so enjoy as he walks you through the 90s boxing scene. Stay tuned for Part 2 as Paul heads Down Under to spearhead the Irish boxing revolution in Australia that ended up with the likes of Dennis Hogan and TJ Doheny reaching the top. Hosted on Acast.

Barely minutes after her titanic battle with Amanda Serrano. Still bleeding, still taking huge gulps of air with adrenaline still coursing through her body - Katie Taylor seemed to be the only one able to find words to sum up what we had just witnessed.

There have been many column inches printed and many hours of audio recorded following the Josh Taylor and Jack Catterall result. Most have asked and made valuable points, but some have been rather self serving. On this episode Al speaks to our mate and go to cut-man/hand wrap expert Tommy McCormack.

Arguably one of the biggest and most important away wins in the history of Irish boxing; Wayne McCullough's victory over Yakushji in Japan helped The Pocket Rocket cement his legacy in the sport. He had only been a professional boxer for two and a half years, but Wayne McCullough had already positioned himself as challenger for the WBC bantamweight title. In search of his dream, he would travel to Nagoya, Japan the hometown of the champion, Yaeui Yakushiji. Yakushiji was the number one bantamweight in the division and was making the fifth defense of his title against McCullough who, even though boasted a record of 16-0 with 13 knock outs, many thought wasn't ready for the step up – he was favoured so little that no print based media travelled from Ireland to cover the fight. Featuring an interview with Wayne McCullough and Irish News journalist, Neil Loughran.

This month, Pastor Jeff Simmons has a timely and challenging conversation with Pastor Wayne McCullough from Limestone Baptist Church in Franklin, TN, about race, racism, reconciliation, and the Gospel. Pastor Wayne was born and raised in Franklin. His mother was a believer and raised him to love and trust the Lord. Pastor Wayne grew up in Franklin when the city was still largely segregated but attended high school at the very beginning of desegregation. He's a graduate of Tennessee State University and has dual degrees in Accounting and Business Administration. Pastor Wayne retired from Kroger as District Manager with 38 years of service. While at Kroger, he held several positions in Human Resources, Operations, and Merchandising. It wasn't until October of 2000 that he began pastoring Limestone Baptist Church. In the podcast, Pastor Wayne shares his experience of growing up in a segregated community and the transition to a desegregated high school. He addresses that what we are taught affects how we experience life and how we treat others of different races; however, we all have to make a choice about how we will treat those who are different from us. The Gospel must shape our understanding of race and should lead us to see and call racism what it is at its root. Because racism at any level is a sin, to hold hatred in our hearts towards anyone created in God's image is a sin. Pastor Wayne also speaks to our current political climate and gives a handful of practical steps for every Christian. This conversation will encourage you, challenge you, and call you to faithfulness and obedience to God's Word as we live in the time God has given us and as we learn what it means to love God and love others. Next Steps 1. Are there sinful attitudes or actions that God has exposed in your heart that he is calling you to confess and repent of? 2. For those who have placed their faith in Christ, what does it mean that, before anything else, our identity and our title is Christian? Not husband, dad, banker, mechanic, student, Democrat or Republican, but Christian – a child of God, a follower of Christ, saved by grace. How would this bring real change to the racial tension in our culture today?

For Tracy Walder, the easy path has never been an option. Raised in a family with generationsof military service, she understood from a young age the importance of giving back. In college,she studied history and took opportunities to gain experience as they came, but couldn't quitefind the right fit for her skills. One day, she saw a recruiter for the CIA on her college campus.She handed in her resume and by the time she graduated, she had a job offer on the table. Thatdaring decision, made while she was still a student, ultimately shaped much of her professionalcareer.She spent the next several years working with the CIA's Counterterrorism Center before movingon to the FBI, where she was a special agent focusing on Chinese Counterintelligenceoperations The hours were long and the work challenging. At some points along the way, sheexperienced adversity and harassment, but Walder persevered. On this week's episode of TheSimple Talk, host Wayne McCullough speaks with Walder about the ups and downs and thenuggets of wisdom she's learned along the way. The path might not be easy, but withconfidence and humility, you can put your knowledge and skills to work in service of a betterfuture.This Week's Takeaways:-Be proactive about finding opportunities-Have confidence in yourself-Don't leave situations without a reason-Push the boundaries of your comfort zone-Use your knowledge to give back to othersQuotes:“I believe fully that how men and women are treated really starts at the top.” -Tracy Walder“I was bullied.The amount of bullying that I faced was astronomical. … I spent a lot of my lifehating myself and not being very confident. So, I think at 16, I would have told myself to havemore confidence.” -Tracy Walder“Working out has always been my therapy. I think, from being at the FBI, I would just go oncrazy long runs by myself with no one else.” -Tracy Walder“The thing I always tell (my daughter) -- because this is what I always told myself -- is be brave.Be brave, be brave, be brave. That's always my message to her.” -Tracy WalderContact:You can find out more about Tracy Walder online at https://www.tracywalder.com/.

Former boxing two weight world champion Carl Frampton recently listed Wayne McCullough as his no.1 irish fighter of all time. Its easy to see why. In a pro boxing career spanning 15 years McCullough mixed it with the very best at his weight, the likes of Prince Nazeem and Erik Morales just a few examples. Wayne in 1995 became WBC Bantamweight Champion by winning a split decision v Japan's Yasuei Yakushiji, a fight which took place in Japan. It was the pinnacle of a very impressive career which saw Wayne not being floored once by any boxer. I was delighted Wayne agreed to an interview with me. I phoned Las Vegas yesterday to discuss many things about his career.To listen to 5 songs that Wayne chose for this podcast, you can listen to them along with this interview by visiting the below link.

Boxing’s great Wayne “The Pocket Rocket” McCullough talks about his upbringing in Ireland, his epic matches with Prince Naseem and Érik Morales, and shares his take on the upcoming match between Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr... which he doesn’t think will ever actually happen.

I'm in the company of greatest this week with two of the biggest exports to come from Northern Ireland. Champions in their own right.  One is a superstar DJ & the other is a Bantamweight World Champion Boxer. Both living in the Entertainment Capital Of The World & adapting to life during the Coronavirus. The first time in a life time that Las Vegas has ever closed.   This is an extended version of the Lockdown with two unbelievable success stories, the first podcast they have done together & it's really worth a listen. A world champion boxer who fought two of boxing's best, Prince Naseem & Erik Morales & went the full distance with both of them. Never once knocked down in his professional career.  From being a champion to more recently finding himself in the depths of despair & coming right back up again.Fergie has DJ'd all over the world, since sneaking into nightclubs aged 14. To playing 250 dates a year in Vegas, to now enjoying studio life & the first downtime of his career. More recently playing to 150 thousand people at MDL BEAST. The first ever music festival to take place in Saudi Arabia.Taking me on a road trip with a parrot (a real one).   Being refused entry to Turnmills at Ministry Of Sound in London a night that he was headlining.  Eventually was allowed in because he was with me. We still to this day don't know who that doorman thought I was.Sure you know yourself. (There is a little tiny bit of strong language - This podcast was recorded in advance of the Premier League restarting.)

Summary:Relationships are at the core of every interaction. Whether you're an entrepreneur, anemployee, or a parent, learning how to build strong relationships that last and evolve over timeis key. This week on the Simple Talk, host Wayne McCullough speaks with guest DavidScoggins, a business and life coach and fellow podcaster who shares ideas for creating a morefulfilling work-life balance and achieving stability on the job and at home.It takes work to build a solid foundation and maintain it over time, Scoggins says. Each of thefive Fs -- faith, family, friends, fitness, and finances -- require dedication and perseverance, sopeople should be prepared to spend time and energy on these key components. But that hardwork will be rewarded with a strong support network and base for other aspects of life, as well. Itcomes down to taking ownership of your decisions and actions and holding yourselfaccountable for how you walk through life and how you relate to those walking alongside you.This Week's Takeaways:-Give people space to change over time-Ask others how you can help them-Don't shy away from hard work-Take ownership of your decisions and actions-Focus on building good relationshipsQuotes:“I think part of my ultimate mission here is to bring a faith perspective into the personaldevelopment and bring the personal development perspective into the church, and I don't thinkthat's an easy thing.” -David Scoggins“That's really been a joy, being able to see … how people who've really, really been hurt byeach other and been hurt by the way they approach their relationships, how they can heal andhow they can grow together and how they can flourish and persist.” -David Scoggins“If we were in a sports team or if we were playing a musical instrument, even if you were playingas an amateur, you were not getting paid for it, you would practice and you would practice on aregular basis. But then you show up for marriage and you've not practiced anything, You showup for a relationship and you've not practiced anything other than whatever you practiced inprevious relationships. We don't get even one class on how to do relationships right.” -DavidScoggins“Whatever is in your life that you don't like, whether it's your marriage or your financial situationor your body or it's how you feel, an emotion you have or a thought you have, it didn't comefrom nowhere.” -David Scoggins“The more we can understand where things come from, the more power we have to work withthem.” -David ScogginsContact:You can get in touch with David Scoggins via email at david@scogginsgroup.com.

Joe Salerno is the reigning National Basketball League of Canada Coach of the Month AND Year for the defending champion and first-place Moncton Magic. Ahead of this Saturday's match-up with the Windsor Express at the Avenir Centre in Moncton, he's a guest on Episode 7 of On Guard For Three. We start off with the newly-dubbed “Magic Question”, get Joe's thoughts on being a multi-sport Dad (2:00), on golf being his favourite getaway, and I'm sure he starts ZERO fights over which of his regular playing partners hits it the longest (4:00). We get into his days as an AAU player and some of the great northeast talent that crossed his path on the court (6:00), the high school glory days in the Barre Auditorium in Vermont (10:00), the injury that ended his playing days (12:00), “Slow Joe” and Joe Sr. (13:15), and he gives us the lowdown on his insane decision to give up a good job with benefits to become a basketball coach (14:45). Joe discusses his “welcome to pro basketball” moment involving Michael Ray Richardson and his rough initial road trip as a pro coach (17:30), the support he got and gets from his wife Darci (20:30), the hard work he put in and the lessons he learned to become a good coach (25:00). Next up, we introduce a new segment, Brock's Big Three! (28:30) before bringing things up to present day and hitting on the Magic's 8-game win streak (30:30) ALL the parts of the organization that go into making a winning program (33:00), and the good work of his coaching staff (35:45). We get into the Windsor matchup (40:15), Jeremiah Mordi and coach's love for big point guards (43:00), Brock's favourite Magic player Wayne McCullough (45:30), and Dave asks a completely unfair question about his coaching future (50:15). Joe talks about the growth in Canadian basketball since his arrival almost a decade ago (54:15), the environment around youth sports and Joe offers some parental advice (57:15)We explore being a hockey dad instead of a basketball one (61:00), and Joe subjects himself to the “commissioner of basketball” question and he gives the best answer we've had so far (62:00). We learn that coach has ZERO time for the NBA right now, but still has Celtics thoughts (65:30), and he agrees with Dave about who the best player in the NBA is (still)…(67:00). We remind you about our Bracket Buster Challenge brought to you by the Chris Rock Tavern (71:30), and finish things off with all things college hoops (74:00).

Thanks to the heroics of Wayne McCullough and Michael Carruth in the boxing ring, the 1992 Barcelona Olympics will forever live in the Irish sporting lexicon as one of the great summers -- and in the 1990s, there were a few. But while the boxers were bagging gold and silver, a new star that would shine throughout the decade was taking her first steps at the Olympics: Sonia O'Sullivan. In Episode One of 'Sonia', we follow the Cobh youngster as she lines up for her first Olympic heat and as she takes the lead in her first Olympic final with only a few hundred yards separating her from debut glory and defeat. With Sonia, nothing was ever boring. Join us at The42 this week as we re-live her career.

There is rarely so much scarcity as we tend to focus on and bychanging the way we approach each day, we can change the way we live our lives. This week,Simple Talk host Wayne McCullough speaks with Dr. Rob Carman, pastor and leader of aworldwide ministry, who shares this message of hope and faith. Too often, we can findourselves living in the past and dwelling on life's difficulties. But there is always a future withGod, Dr. Carman says, and it's a greater future than we can possibly imagine.In order to follow that path, it's important to tap into the power within. Humans are holisticbeings; they are made up of a body, a soul, and a spirit, and it's important to nourish and findthe potential of each to amplify that power. Sometimes, it comes down to taking a hard look atour habits, as they are what shape the way we walk through each day. If we approach our dayswith positivity and a purposeful outlook, that will, in turn, affect what we experience. Everythingis connected and it's up to us to discover what we truly have.This Week's Takeaways:-Work with an idea of purpose-Cast off old, unhealthy habits-Remember that everything affects something else-Remove the shame from difficulty and depression-Have moments of quiet and stillness in your lifeQuotes:“Life is never behind you; it is always in front of you. I don't live out of a memory; I live out of animagination.” -Dr. Rob Carman“God said in the book of Ephesians that he would do above and beyond what you can ask orimagine, according to the power that's at work in you. Well, you've got to amplify, you've got tojump start that power. That's the power of faith, hope, and the Holy Spirit. And unless you gearthat thing up and be determined, you begin to live off your laurels and you don't want to live inyour past. If you live your past, you're going to go backwards. You're going to die. The definitionof old age has nothing to do with a numerical amount or when you were born. The definition ofold age simply says in Webster's 1828 dictionary — nobody would argue with Noah Webster —that old is belonging to the past and then he gave the second definition is stale. We don't wantto be stale. We don't want to belong to the past. There's always a future with God and it'salways bigger than what you've had before.” -Dr. Rob Carman“I tell people, you can retire from a company, a job, an occupation, but you never retire fromwork. Work is one of the greatest things that God gave an individual. … Work is the tool thatGod gave a human being to get out of them everything he put in them. Without work, everytalent, every skill, every ability lies dormant.” -Dr. Rob Carman“Psychiatrists have said if you can change the first five minutes when you wake up and the lastfive minutes when you go to bed, you can change your day. I say if you can change a day, youcan change a life because all a life is is an accumulation of days.” -Dr. Rob Carman“Everything leaves to enter and the way you leave determines the way you enter. You left yourwomb to come into this world. You leave home to go to school. You leave school to have acareer. You leave singleness to get married. You leave a house to get into your car. You leave acar to go into work. The way you leave determines the way you enter. So, anytime you leaveanything, leave right and you'll enter right.” -Dr. Rob CarmanContact:You can follow Dr. Rob Carman's work on his website, robcarman.com, where you can alsosign up for his weekly devotionals, as recommended by Wayne McCullough.

Summary:There is always hope. Even in a person's darkest moments, there is a path forward. Finding itcan be difficult, but it's made easier when you have a community to turn to for support. Thisweek, host Wayne McCullough speaks with Jessica Trudeau, executive director of theMomentous Institute, about finding that path through difficult times. Trudeau had a challengingchildhood and it took many years for her to both sit with and move forward from thoseexperiences, she says. Now, she's dedicated to helping others learn to grow from adversity.The Momentous Institute, which is celebrating its 100th anniversary next year, works to helpchildren reach their full potential through fostering social emotional health. Providing childrenand their families with mental and social help resources gives them the chance to becomeagents of change within their own lives and communities. After all, Trudeau says, people canbreak unhealthy generational cycles if they can begin by healing themselves.This Week's Takeaways:-Acknowledge mistakes and work to repair them-Practice forgiveness of both self and others-Seek help and support if you are feeling alone-Learn to sit with discomfort-Find a way to release trauma after honoring itQuotes:“At one point, someone told me, for stained glass, it's the fractures that let the light in and allowit to be beautiful. I believe that about human beings.” -Jessica Trudeau“The moments of really deep suffering in my life, I've grown from. My mother always says, youcan learn in the darkness and you can learn in the light.” -Jessica Trudeau“It's easy to think there's not a path out. There is always a path out. The easiest way to accessthat path is to surround yourself with community. We cannot do this life alone. We were notmeant to do this life alone. I believe we were created and hardwired to be in community. Whenyou feel like (you) just can't keep going on, find the person who will be safe for you and reachout and ask for support.” -Jessica Trudeau“You have to be able to sit with discomfort. The goal is not to numb pain. If you numb pain, younumb joy. And sitting in pain will not kill you. You will get to the other side. But there's no wayaround it. There's no path to recovery in this lifetime that does not involve walking through thepain you're experiencing.” -Jessica Trudeau“We have an opportunity to understand that everyone has their own life path to walk. And it's notour job to save anyone. It's our job to learn the lessons we're supposed to learn in this lifetimeand to witness and offer light and hope to others, but to let them walk their path.” -JessicaTrudeauContact:You can find out more about the Momentous Institute at momentousinstitute.org. The institute'sChanging the Odds 2019 conference is scheduled for Oct. 24-25 in Dallas. The theme of theconference is Hidden Factors.

It's possible to live a life of authenticity through a vertical and centered relationship with God.This week, Simple Talk podcast host Wayne McCullough shares ideas about how to verticallyintegrate faith in your life to live in gratitude. One of the most important steps toward doing thatis removing comparison from your life. After all, he says, if you're in a state of comparison, howcan you be in a state of gratitude?If you can find a way to get centered and spend the time you need to sit with God and your ownthoughts, you can start making decisions that reflect that relationship you want to have. It comesdown to reality, your perception, and seeking contentment through distractions. More thananything, it's important to remember that life is a gift and to live graciously is one way to giveback.What You'll Learn:-Center God in your life-Practice good stewardship of family, faith, friends, fitness, and finances-Remember that competitiveness is OK, but comparison kills gratitude-Stress test situations that are worrying you-Seek authenticityQuotes:“We need to walk with Christ or God inside of us as opposed to alongside of us.” -WayneMcCullough“We live in a world where we're in a constant state of comparison, we're in a constant state ofwhat perception should be. And all those situations just create failure.” -Wayne McCullough“Comparison is the death of joy.” -Wayne McCullough“Life is so precious. Just being able to breathe, just breathing, taking a deep breath, you've gotto be gracious for that.” -Wayne McCullough“Own your responsibilities, own your mistakes, but own the things that you have done great anddon't even look at others.” -Wayne McCulloughMentions:This week, host Wayne McCullough mentioned the book “2 Chairs: The Secret that ChangesEverything” by Bob Bodine.

People change throughout their lives and embracing change in yourself and others can give youthe space to find the path you're meant to be on. On this episode of The Simple Talk podcast,host Wayne McCullough speaks with Noel Bouché, of pureHOPE, which seeks to build a worldfree of sexual exploitation and brokenness. Bouché shares stories of challenges and successesin his own life and tells his own truth of change.Throughout a person's life, they will often find themselves at a crossroads. Sometimes thechoices they face are difficult or dangerous; other times they are more clear-cut. Fear, guilt, andshame can be powerful drivers, so it's important to try to find identity, relationships, andcommunity that will uplift you in your times of change and need and confront difficultconversations honestly to move forward in learning and growth.This Week's Takeaways-Embrace transitional periods in life-Understand that growth means change-Seek out community and provide it for others-Help yourself to help others-Focus on relationship-buildingQuotes“What happens in our life is things get interwoven and what can happen is, we don't see ithappening, but they can become idols. When our identity is wrapped around something, someway that's detracting us ultimately from who we really are and who've been designed to be andit can be limiting.” -Noel Bouche“If we can just rest in those periods, those transitions, where the oceans are choppy and wedon't have certainty, what's going to happen is we're going to grow. Because anytime wetransition, it literally means to step across. Naturally, our perspective is going to be shifted andthat is a good thing because we can get stuck in ruts. And more than that, healthy things growand growing things change.” -Noel Bouche“Fear is not just the absence of courage, fear is about self-preservation. When a stimuluscomes, what fear is, is me trying to protect myself and that's why we put up barriers, that's whywe wear masks, that's why we hide. And the Bible says the antidote to that is not courage; it'slove because love is self-giving.” -Noel Bouche“A crisis is just danger meeting opportunity. It's a crossroads.” -Noel Bouche“The beauty of climbing the mountain is not at the top when you look out at everything, it is inclimbing the mountain, which is the hardest part. You don't tell the story when you climb Everestabout standing up there for 25 seconds, you tell the story of climbing and how tough it was, butthat's where you grow, that's where you get stronger, that's where the story is.” -WayneMcCulloughReferencesYou can find out more about pureHOPE at purehope.net or on social media @findpurehope.

Irishman Wayne McCullough was a two-time Olympian who raced to a world title in the pros. Having captured silver in the Barcelona games of 1992, he had a decorated pro career, making his name as a high-volume fighter with a rock hard chin and an iron will. He fought the best of his era, the likes of Naseem Hamed and Erik Morales, won his world title impressively in Japan, boxed Scott Harrison and refuses to say the words 'I retire' or 'I quit' even today. Here, in an interview in a Las Vegas coffee shop, he talks about the moments that defined his career, his regrets, his highlights and everything in between.

In this inaugural episode of the Simple Talk podcast, Dallas, Texas-based host Wayne McCullough shares the genesis story of this project, which is near and dear to his heart. As a husband, father, uncle, friend, and businessman, McCullough is no stranger to splitting his time among the many responsibilities in life. But along the way, he found he wasn't always balancing them right. After hearing a talk during a dads' day at his kids' elementary school a decade ago, he was inspired to start the Simple Talk meet-up sessions that ultimately led to this podcast.This podcast is for everyone, but the idea started with a group of men who were looking to better their own lives. Through regular meetings at participants' homes, the group sought to bring together the most important avenues in life: faith, family, friends, finances, and fitness. Now, McCullough hopes to share some of those thoughts and ideas on this podcast to help you create your best life. Tune in as he talks with guests and shares readings from his own learning here on Simple Talk.This Week's Takeaways-Ask yourself what you're actively doing to create a better life-Discover the narrative of your life and who set it-Start to change how you may look at the world-Identify the strength in your weaknesses-Get involved in the world and start doing, not just beingQuotes“We're going to improve your life and a lot of that is going to be focusing on the big five in your life, which is faith, family, friends, finances, and fitness. And what that's always meant to me is those big five things, if we align them, your life is so much better.” -Wayne McCullough“What we're trying to do is create transparency in a community. … A life of authenticity is so much better received than a life of what we would consider fake.” -Wayne McCullough“There's a difference between success and being fulfilled. There's a difference between success and significance. What I'd like to encourage people to do is you want to end up with a life of significance.” -Wayne McCullough“What we try to get people to see is that your brokenness is really a bridge to greatness.” -Wayne McCullough“We need to go from humans being to humans doing.” -Wayne McCulloughReferences This week, Wayne mentioned retired Navy SEAL and current podcaster and author Jocko Willink. He suggests trying to adopt at least one of Willink's recommendations for leading a more productive life including waking up early, preparing your gym clothes the night before, making tomorrow's to-do list before you go to bed, using short naps throughout the day to rejuvenate yourself, and ignoring your office's free food (especially during the holidays). You can find out more about Willink and listen to his show online at jockopodcast.com.

On this week's episode of the Simple Talk, host Wayne McCullough discusses the docu-drama film he co-produced, called The Heart of Man. It delves into the troubles of an oversexualized world and shares people's stories of pain and journeys to faith. McCullough took on the project after learning about the epidemic of sex trafficking in the United States. He says it opened his eyes to a different world and one he felt he had the resources to help shed light on. Throughout this week's episode, McCullough returns to the intersection of struggle and faith. He asks us to take a moment to consider a question posed by renowned composer and non-profit leader Tony Anderson: “What if my brokenness was a bridge to God and not a barrier?”This Week's Takeaways-Brokenness is a path to God, not a barrier-It can be important to talk about uncomfortable topics-Sexual abuse and sex trafficking happen across this country-Faith and family are the foundation of a good life-Worry less and have fun for longevity and healthQuotes“I think you really have to believe in providence — whatever that looks like to you — providence being that certain things make their way into your life and you have to let those things happen. And then sometimes, you have to take those things on when it doesn't seem right.” -Wayne McCullough“There's too much shame out there in the world.” -Wayne McCullough“There's a whole world that exists outside of my little bubble.” -Wayne McCullough“We can kick down brothel doors and arrest people but until we address that there's a demand, we can never control the supply.” -Wayne McCullough“Get uncomfortable. Get comfortable with being uncomfortable.” -Wayne McCulloughReferences This week, Wayne recommended checking out the film he co-produced, which is called The Heart of Man. You can find out more at https://heartofmanmovie.com. He also mentioned the Dallas, Texas-based non-profit pureHOPE. You can learn more at their website, http://purehope.net/.

While people often feel comfortable talking about physical pain, they may shy away from topics like emotional pain and mental illness. This week's guest is family man and mediator Mike McCullough. He speaks openly about his struggle with depression and anxiety and shares his story in the hopes of reaching others who may be facing similar hardships.It's important to have friends and feel comfortable turning to them for support, McCullough says. There are times when depression can make it hard to feel motivated, so it's critical to get up and move around or take time outside to kick start your system. But above all, McCullough says it's faith that put him on a better path to accepting the pain he'd felt in his life and building up the tools he needed to move forward.This Week's Takeaways-Bring together the spiritual, emotional, and physical-Understand it can be helpful to sit with pain or hurt and learn from it-Restart your system by getting outside, doing exercise, and moving-Have a support system for when times get tough-Persevere with acceptanceQuotes“We can focus on the emotional, the physical, but we also have to focus on the spiritual because, you know, we are a spirit. We have a soul and we live in a body. So, we've got to have all three line up.” -Mike McCullough“That weakness is literally your superpower. It is a gift from God.” -Wayne McCullough“Friends (are) hugely important in our lives for a variety of reasons, but particularly when you're going through physical or emotional pain, you've got to have people around you.” -Mike McCullough“You can't regret the past. It is what it is, and you've just got to learn from it.” -Mike McCullough“I want people, if they're listening to this podcast, to know, one, there's hope, and two, to experience God in some way in their life.” -Mike McCulloughReferencesThis week, the McCullough brothers mentioned Dallas, Texas-based Dr. George Burris, the New Hope class at Park Cities Baptist Church, and the following:-You Gotta Keep Dancin' by Tim Hansel, https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/96162.You_Gotta_Keep_Dancin_-Lisa Ann McCall, founder of The McCall Method, https://mccallmethod.com/-Brennan Manning, https://brennanmanning.com/-Richard J.
