On today's You Get the Gist, I'm wanting to make a couple of points that may or may not have occurred to you while you heard about or you were watching Simone Biles' journey at the Olympics. First, I wondered what your first thought might've been when you heard Ms. Biles had initially opted out. And we fairly quickly learned it was because of her concerns about her focus – basically her impaired state of mental health – and how that might work to harm her physically. Or as she said to her team, “I don't want to ruin your chances of winning…” with a less than stellar performance. And second, did you put yourself in her shoes? Could you disappoint your boss, or your family, or your kids – due to your own concerns about your mental health? How many times have you done things that you realized on a core level might harm you, but you went ahead and did it? Would there be a limit to that? What would the boundary be for you to say, “No, I can't.” There's a lot you can learn from your own reactions… so I'm here today simply asking a few questions of you – the answers are yours to be privately considered – and maybe changed if need be.

El oido se ve obligado a medir la suerte de una canción sospechosa, con atención y detenimiento, y su veredicto generalmente no es aceptado sin polémica. Hoy u n podcast que trata sobre canciones quizás sospechosas, algo similares a otra; y es que la música es melodía, Armonía y ritmo. Teniendo en cuenta la similitud de tempo y compases que encontramos en el pop actual, seria absurdo pretender adivinar los plagios basándonoslos solo en el ritmo de dos canciones, deberíamos centrar la atención en las melodías vocales y las bases armónicas de guitarras, pianos y notas al bajo. La duda siempre existirá, pero a lo mejor, si existe una identidad entre el conjunto de la voz y los acordes de las dos canciones, casi con toda seguridad será un plagio en toda regla. Hoy par mi estudio 115, a ese puñado de polémicas, digamos trampas musicales, las he titulado como: Parecidos más que razonables.Playlist del programa:00 - Blaudzun-Solar (Intro).01 - The Hollies-The Air That I Breathe.02 - Radiohead-Creep.03 - The Beatles-Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da.04 - The Offspring-Why Don't You Get a Job.05 - Killing Joke-Eighties.06 - Nirvana-Come as You Are.07 - Al Bano y Romina Power-I Cigni Di Balaka.08 - Michael Jackson-Will You Be There.09 - The Kinks-All Day and All of The Night.10 - The Doors-Hello, I Love You.11 - The Chiffons-He's So Fine .12 - George Harrison-My Sweet Lord.13 - Stevie Wonder-Uptight.14 - Oasis-Step Out.15 - PJ Harvey That Was My Veil.16 - Amaral-Te necesito.17- Blaudzun-Solar (Despedida).
If you were raised in Northern Ireland a part of your culture is the pub. If you are Irvine Nugent your dad owned the pub and you were raised as part of a sub-culture. For the Irish the pub is more than a place to drink, it is a place where people gather, all people, regardless of their station in life. It is a place where laughter and enjoyment are embodied. The pub was the place the Irvine Nugent learned about leadership and culture. His father helped him understand as a pub owner (a.k.a. "puplican") that there was a great deal that he could do from a leadership standpoint to enhance the customers and employees of the pub. And it is these leadership lessons that Dr. Irvine Nugent shares with us on this episode of A New Direction. Dr. Nugent's book Leadership Lessons from the Pub is more than a book about leadership. It is a book that helps leaders understand how by increasing their emotional intelligence that can affect and infect their people. As Lesson#1 so simple states: "You Get to Set the Tone" and as Irvine's father elaborates, "Whatever mood you are in will be reflected back to you by the customers within an hour." This is just a sample of the many leadership lessons that Irvine Nugent provides both in this episode and in "Leadership Lessons from the Pub".

For today's YGTG, or "You Get the Gist", I was pondering what a patient of mine said the other day. He had to struggle a bit with the idea that therapy – for him – felt a little self-indulgent. He followed quickly up by saying, “I know it's because I rarely if ever focus on myself. And it feels a little odd doing it. But it's also not an easy thing to do. And most self-indulgences are that… easy things. Things that offer comfort. This definitely isn't easy.” What follows is a story about having a rock in your shoe - which I hope can stand as a metaphor for those who may not come into therapy for severe trauma or grief, depression or anxiety - but who can benefit greatly from realizing that dealing with something apparently "small" may have remarkable results.

For the past 20 years she has had the joy and pleasure to help her clients pursue healthier lifestyles through her weight release and fitness programs that she personally designs.

Her slogan is Be Healthy, Vibrant and Free. Tina teaches nutrition courses, cooking classes, fitness and various webinars within corporations as well as delivers keynote corporate speeches. In today's episode Tina shares her story learning to love her body. Growing up as the third female child in an Italian family, Tina never felt the love she craved from both her parents. The only way for her to get the love and attention she craved was to refuse food. It wasn't long until this behavior developed into Anorexia. She used to refuse to eat as a form of control over her crazy Italian parents and her chaotic life, and then when she was twelve years old everything she changed. She traveled to Italy with her Nona and fell in love with food for the first time. Tina realized she had an emotional relationship with food, and after her sister passed away from cancer it was the wake-up call she needed to take care of herself. She realized she had a deep love of wellness, and it became her mission to teach as many people as she could about natural health and wellness. Over the years she's come to peace with the self-sabotaging behaviors, and Tina knows if she can heal you can too. Now Tina teaches professional menopausal women to lose weight naturally and keep it off forever without yo-yo dieting. The key to her success is coming to peace with those emotions that drive you to eat and keep you stuck.

I get to interview the brilliant author and entrepreneur Jordan Raynor, who shares why our work matters to God and to the people around us. We’ll also spend a few minutes journaling about how we can honor God in our work. How to Be Proud of the Work That You Do Work is hard—especially if you’re feeling bored or burned out at your job. In this video, I’ll share one important truth that will help you wake up excited, not overwhelmed, about the day ahead. How God Uses You in Your Work with Jordan Raynor Have you ever felt like the only way you can serve God is by becoming a pastor or joining a full-time ministry? Today, my friend Jordan Raynor explains why all types of work matter to God. Does God Care About Your Work? “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.” Colossians 3:23 (NIV) This verse completely changed my perspective on work. I don’t know about you, but when I know that God cares about the details of my work, it makes me want to step it up, give it my best effort, and work to please him. Whether you’re the CEO in the corner office, or you’re waiting tables, or you’re a stay-at-home mom, God wants each of us to put our entire heart into our work. Spend a few minutes journaling your answers to these questions: Where do you see God in your work right now? How can you remember that God is using you right now in your work? How can you do your work unto the Lord more intentionally?

I sat down with my good friend Angie Smith and talked about how to trust God even when we don’t understand the story He’s writing. How Your Story Fits Into God’s Story “For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope.” Romans 15:4 (NIV) From beginning to end, the Bible is full of hope. When we open the Scriptures, we find encouragement for our story by reading about the greater story. Here are a few journal questions to help unpack this idea: Have you ever thought of the Bible as one big story? What is the point of the story of Scripture? What part of God’s story do you want to know more about?

We’re talking about how to get excited about life again, just like we were when we were kids. I also get to have an awesome conversation with Harris III (an illusionist, speaker, author and entrepreneur) on the topic of wonder. Finally, we’ll wrap up the show with a few journal questions. What to Do When Life Gets Boring Between all the errands and chores and work tasks and commitments, it’s easy to feel like you’re running a business instead of actually living your life. If you’re tired of going through the motions, check out these three steps that will help you break out of boredom and experience more joy and wonder. Is THIS Stealing Your Joy? with Harris III According to Harris III, wonder is “A childlike state in which we have permission to believe in a story we have yet to see.” The problem is, so many of us live with negative stories running through our heads all day. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Harris III shares some practical tips on how to change your story and see limitless possibilities for your life. What Fills You With Wonder? “When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them?” Psalm 8:3–4 (NIV) God is performing miracles around us all the time. But often, we’re so caught up in our crazy lives that we don’t even notice what He’s doing! When we actually pause to look at the world around us and see how creative and powerful our God is, we’ll be filled with a sense of wonder. I want to give you some journal questions to help you process this: What fills you with wonder? What gets in the way of you being filled with wonder and awe? What’s one thing you want to do to take action on this idea of wonder so you can create it in your own life?

Today's "You Get the Gist" explains the four different types of narcissism. All of them share the major features of a constant need for admiration, an unrealistic sense of self-importance, a lack of empathy, and great difficulty forming meaningful relationships. What are they and how are both similar and dissimilar to one another? You'll find out more.. but they are the grandiose narcissist, the covert narcissist, the communal narcissist (I'd never heard of that one..) and the malignant narcissist. I use the excellent work of Darlene Lancer, an attorney and a mental health clinician (link below). However, I do offer one caveat - be careful about diagnostic labels. They were historically meant to aid in better communication but often go way beyond that.

You’ll receive five days of encouragement focused on helping you become a more confident you! https://bit.ly/3u0BroT On this episode, we’re talking about why you should love yourself. (I know some of you will disagree with me on this, which is why I want you to tune in!) I’ll also talk to my friend Crystal Paine about her new book, Love-Centered Parenting, and how we can love ourselves while loving our kids. And we’ll close today’s show with a few journal questions. Why You Should Start Loving Yourself Some of you are already mad at me for bringing this up. As Christians, we’re not supposed to love ourselves, right? Here are three reasons why self-love is actually a good thing. How to Become a Great Parent with Crystal Paine You can’t offer something you don’t have. So, if you’re not receiving the love of your heavenly father, how can you give love to others? In today’s interview, Crystal Paine—author, speaker and entrepreneur—talks about her new book, Love-Centered Parenting, and why loving our kids well starts with letting God love us. Is It Biblical to Love Yourself? “The most important [commandment],” answered Jesus, “is this . . . ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.” Mark 12:29–31 (NIV) When Jesus says to “love your neighbor as yourself,” he’s implying that we already do love ourselves. It’s our gut instinct to love and protect and take care of ourselves, so we should have that same level of care for the people around us. Let’s unpack this idea with a few journal questions: Who’s someone you love? Describe your love for that person. Be honest: What do you think about yourself? Why is it hard for you to love yourself?

Also, we'll get to hear from author Brittany Ann about falling in love with God’s word. We'll wrap up today's show by journaling about making quiet time a priority. 3 Ways to Make Time for Quiet Time For years, I struggled to read scripture, even though I know how powerful it is! But thankfully, I discovered a system that helped me overcome the obstacles that were keeping me from time with God. In this video, I unpack my system in three simple steps. How to Enjoy Reading Your Bible with Brittany Ann The REAL problem most of us have with our quiet time is that we’re not passionate about spending time with God. In today’s interview, I talk to author and Bible teacher Brittany Ann about her new book, Fall in Love with God’s Word. She’ll share practical strategies about bridging the gap between wanting to read more and actually doing it. You Need THIS to Read Your Bible “All scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.” 2 Timothy 3:16–17 (NIV) All of the things we could ever want or need in life are found in God’s word. So, why does it feel like a chore to open up our Bibles? I encourage you to dig deep on this topic by responding to these journal questions: How do you feel about reading your Bible? What would help you have alone time? What is one thing you could do this week to give yourself what you need to have that alone time?
Welcome to SelfWork's You Get the Gist, five minutes of some ideas you can ponder for the rest of the day. Today YGTG is about saying goodbye. When I knew back in 1992 that my husband and I were going to leave Dallas and move to Arkansas, I distinctly remember a conversation I had with my therapist. I was wondering how I would say goodbye to all these friends and family that were so important to me. It seemed overwhelming. He gave me such an important way of understanding something about goodbyes that's I'd never considered - that many of us don't handle endings very well. We don't know how to grieve. It helped me not personalize what happened next. We'll talk about all kinds of grief - and what you can learn about how you say... goodbye.

And I’ve got the perfect guest for this topic, my good friend Emily Ley. She’s an author and speaker who helps people simplify their lives. Finally, we’ll end the show with a few journal questions about how to be content—no matter the state of your home. 5 Ways to Stop Obsessing About the Mess in Your House Sometimes the state of our house can have an impact on the state of our mind. I’ve been there. That’s why I want to share five simple things you can put into practice so you can stop feeling like a mess—even when your house is messy! How to Make Life Simpler with Emily Ley My friend Emily Ley is a speaker, author and simplicity expert. One of the things I love about her teaching is that she gives small, practical tips we can use every day to organize and manage our lives better. The Secret to Loving Your House “I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty.” Philippians 4:11–12 (NIV) Even with a spotless, Pinterest-perfect house, we can still be unhappy with what we have. That’s why this verse from Philippians is so powerful: It reminds us that with the power of the Holy Spirit, we can be content in any circumstance! Let’s bring this concept home by answering these journal questions: What do you love about your home? How does it change the way you view your home when you set your mind on what you’re grateful for? How can you practice being content in your home, your life, and your situations right now?
Today's YGTG, or "You Get the Gist," deals not with who's right and who's wrong in the ongoing drama between Meghan Markle, Prince Harry and Great Britain's royals. Nor about the very serious allegations of racism. As a psychologist, what I'm concerned about is how this focus on talking about suicidal thinking is affecting those whose loved ones have already died by suicide, and how this could affect the way those words are recognized in the future by anyone who actually hears them. For every suicide “success” as it’s ironically labeled, The American Foundation of Suicide Prevention reports there are 25 attempts. We'll discuss common but painful reactions from families. And we need to realize that everyone who kills themselves has thought about it before. Maybe even shared their thoughts with someone. It's so important to listen, and try to help.

Why Focusing on Your Strengths Leads to Success Have you ever wondered what you’re good at? I sure have. Back in eighth grade, I was cut from every sports team I tried out for.

I'll share four practical steps you can take to make and keep awesome friends. Also, I get to sit down with two of my best friends, Jenny and Sarah. We'll wrap up the show with a few journal questions about the importance of friendship. 4 Ways to Have Great Friendships as an Adult Let’s face it: It’s hard to make friends as an adult. We don’t have many natural ways to meet new people. We get set in our ways and get busy with kids and work and errands. If you want to have more friends—or better friendships—you’re going to have to decide to make time for it. Here are four practical actions you can take to get started! How to Make Time for Friends In today’s interview, I get to sit down with two of my real-life best friends! Through all of life’s ups and downs and changes and challenges, we’ve managed to make time for each other. No—it’s not always easy to coordinate calendars. But it’s worth it. We’ll share some of secrets that have helped us maintain our friendship for almost two decades. What Do Your Friendships Look Like? “Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor. If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up! Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.” Ecclesiastes 4:9–12 (NIV) We weren’t created to live alone. We need community. I want you to have people who will be there for you—people you can laugh and cry with, share the bad things with, and celebrate your milestones with. To start making some practical changes in the area of friendship, spend some time journaling your thoughts to these questions: What are you looking for in friendships right now? What specific types of friendships do you desire this year? What’s one step you can take to grow your friendships this year?

I tackle that lie in today's show. I also get to interview Jamie Kern Lima, founder of IT Cosmetics, which is the fastest-growing cosmetic company in the world. She knows a thing or two about success! Finally, we'll wrap with some journaling prompts about celebrating—not shaming—our success. You Need to Stop Doing This Today . . . Why is it so hard to accept compliments? I believe it’s because we don’t know what true humility looks like. The next time someone notices or congratulates you, don’t dismiss or downplay it. Say this instead. Why It’s Okay to Be Successful with Jamie Kern Lima Before she started IT Cosmetics, Jamie Kern Lima was saving her tip money from waiting tables at Denny’s to buy fancy makeup. But just a few years ago, she sold her company for $1.2 billion! In our interview, Jamie shares the lessons she’s learned about hard work, rejection and—ultimately—success. How Do You Respond to Compliments? “Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.” — James 1:17 (NIV) There’s nothing we accomplish or enjoy on our own effort. Every single thing—from our relationships to our skills to our opportunities—is a gift from God. That’s a humbling (and freeing) truth! Let’s unpack it with a few journaling questions: How do you normally respond to compliments? What does humility look like to you? How can you practice being grateful for everything God has done and is doing in your life?

Why You Should Take More Risks Life is full of challenges that feel too big for us. When you’re facing something scary, should you wait until you feel confident before acting, or should you just go for it? I’ll unpack the answer in today’s teaching. How Matthew McConaughey Built Confidence What’s the secret to confidence? It’s knowing who you are. And it helps when people in your life remind you when you’ve forgotten. Matthew McConaughey shares an inspiring (and hilarious) story about how his mom instilled a sense of confidence in him from a young age. How to Listen to God “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?” — Isaiah 43:18–19 (NIV) New things are both exciting and scary. Maybe you find yourself starting a new position at work, entering a new season of life, or launching a new business. Whatever you’re experiencing, here are a few journal questions that will help you process what’s going on: What new thing do you sense God is doing in your life? What do you sense God is urging you to do about it? What would it look like to just try it?

How to Love Life with Matthew McConaughey 0:49 Why Being Optimistic Is So Important 12:11 Matthew McConaughey’s Advice About Life 26:45 What You Should Be Thinking About Right Now Resources Christy's Devotional - Living True: 40 Days to Get Back to YouGet back to you with my brand-new devotional, Living True: 40 Days to Get Back to You. It will help you break through the busyness of life and build the confidence you need to embrace the person you want to be. https://bit.ly/39ou57u Christy's 5-Day Confidence BoostSign up for my free 5-Day Confidence Boost. You’ll receive five days of encouragement focused on helping you become a more confident you! https://bit.ly/2Mq1o0N Today, we’re going to talk about how your perspective on life impacts everything you do. And y’all, I’m so excited to share part one of my interview with actor, producer, and New York Times bestselling author Matthew McConaughey. To wrap up the show, we’ll work through a few journal questions that will help us be optimistic and focus on the good things in our lives. Why Being Optimistic Is So Important Our minds are powerful. And when you change how you think about life, you’ll change how you experience it. For today’s teaching, we’ll talk about a simple truth that will help you take control of your thoughts, be more positive, and see the good in your life. Matthew McConaughey’s Advice About Life I had the opportunity to sit down with Matthew McConaughey: actor, producer and New York Times bestselling author of the new book Greenlights. For decades, he’s been acting out the stories of other people. Now, he gets to share his own story—and it’s packed with wisdom and humor and life lessons. What You Should Be Thinking About Right Now “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.” — Philippians 4:8 (NIV) Optimism is God’s idea. No matter your personality style or life circumstances, all of us are commanded by God to think about what is good. And God calls us to be different for a reason: so we can be examples of joy and hope and peace and put Him on display for the world. Let’s apply today’s truth by working through these journal questions: What are you looking for? What are you thinking about and focusing on? What are some things that are good in your life right now? Make a list of things to be grateful for. What’s one thing that you can do today to put optimism into practice?

You’ll receive five days of encouragement focused on helping you become a more confident you! https://bit.ly/2YkAZnQ Where does confidence come from? Today, we’re going to get to the root of it by talking about three areas of life where you can find confidence. I’ll also talk to the incredible speaker, coach, author and Bible teacher Alli Worthington about her personal journey with confidence. And as always, we’ll wrap up with a few journal questions so we can actually apply these ideas about confidence to our own lives. 3 Ways to Build Confidence In today’s teaching, we’re going to cut through the lies we’re told about confidence. No, it’s not something you’re born with. And no, it’s not something that’s dependent on your circumstances. We’ll cover three practical things you can know and do that will help you build real, authentic, unshakeable confidence. Why Being Confident Is So Misunderstood with Alli Worthington Author, speaker and Bible teacher Alli Worthington has an important truth we need to hear: God has great plans for every woman. Every. Single. One. In our interview, Alli and I talk about how we can find the confidence we need to overcome adversity and face our future with boldness. Where Do You Find Confidence? “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” — Hebrews 11:1 (NIV) According to the Bible, faith equals confidence. As Christians, we might shy away from confidence, thinking that it means we’re self-centered. But God calls us to have confidence, not in ourselves, but in Him—His character and His ways. Spend a few moments journaling about the truths we’re covering in this video: How do you feel about the word confidence? What feelings or beliefs do you have around the idea of confidence? How can you lean on your faith to build confidence? How can you practice courage this week? What’s an area of your life where you’re willing to practice a skill over and over again to build confidence?

What gifts has God given you, and how does He want you to use them? We'll get some answers from the brilliant John Bevere—speaker, author and co-founder of Messenger International. Finally, we’ll wrap up with a few journal questions about how to put the light of God on display by walking in our calling. You Were Designed to Do This It can feel intimidating to figure out your calling, right? It’s scary to ask, What was I put on this earth to do? But guess what? Your calling doesn’t have to look and feel epic. Whether you’re working your dream job or just living life and paying bills, God can work through you to get glory for Himself. How to Understand Your Calling with John Bevere I’m so excited about today’s interview with John Bevere—bestselling author, speaker, and co-founder of Messenger International. He and I talk about the importance of taking our calling seriously. John points out that each of us has a choice to make: We can use our gifts to build God’s kingdom as intended, or we can just sit on them and do nothing. What will you do with your life? Feel Like You’re Being Held Back? You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven. — Matthew 5:14–16 (NIV) You know what’s amazing? God wants to show His glory to the world, and His plan is to do that through you and me. He could’ve chosen any method, but He chose to do it through us, despite our flaws. This responsibility feels big and more than we can handle. What can one little light do on its own? But the good news is that God builds bonfires through a bunch of little candles. Let’s bring this concept home by working through a few journal questions: Practically speaking, what does it mean to be the light of the world? What does that look like for you? How have you felt held back by your current circumstances? How can you let your light shine right where you are?

On today's show, we're talking about how important it is to just play and be silly and feel like a kid again. And I get to talk to my good friend and “fun expert,” Annie F. Downs, about practical ways we can add more fun to our lives. To wrap up, we’ll journal about a powerful verse from the Book of John about living an abundant life. Want to have more fun? Do this. In today’s teaching, I’ll share a few simple steps you can take to bring fun back into your life. If we’re intentional, we can create unforgettable moments for ourselves and the people we care about. Fun is a big deal. I’ll shoot you straight: If you don’t make time for fun in your life, you won’t be any fun to be around. You have this one life to live—so make joy a priority. Watch Rachel Cruze and me surprise Annie F Downs! I always have fun when I spend time with my good friend Annie F. Downs. She’s an author, a speaker, a Bible teacher, and the host of the That Sounds Fun podcast. We’ll talk about how to take breaks from the busyness and responsibility of life to simply enjoy the beauty and innocence of fun. And by the way . . . this interview comes with an extra fun surprise. How to Live an Abundant Life The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. John 10:10 (NIV) This is such a beautiful verse about the abundant life that we enjoy as we follow Jesus. It’s easy to think about this promise only in the future tense—that someday we’ll experience full life. But there’s a real practical implication for our lives right now. To help apply today’s topic on fun, here are a few journal questions: What does an abundant life mean to you? What do you do for fun? Do you make time for fun? If not, what gets in the way? What’s one fun thing you’re going to commit to this week?
Do You Know Your TRUE IDENTITY? with Matthew West 0:58 The First Step To Being Yourself 9:45 How To Embrace the Plan That God Has For You with Matthew West 42:47 This is Who You Are in God’s Eyes...

Email us at hello@christywright.com to let us know what you think of the show. We’re kicking off the new year with an important topic: Where does your identity come from? Do we take our cues from Pinterest or Instagram influencers or what our boss says about us? We'll get some life-changing answers from God’s Word. Plus, I get to sit down with award-winning songwriter Matthew West to talk about his new book on identity: Hello, My Name Is. The First Step to Being Yourself When we’re feeling lost, we cling to our titles and our roles, and we hold on to what we can accomplish or what others say about us. But there’s a deeper truth to keep us grounded, even when people and circumstances change around us. In today’s teaching, I’ll share a story about one of the first times I ever heard God speak to me and the powerful truth he taught me about identity. How to Embrace the Plan That God Has for You with Matthew West Y’all, I am so excited to sit down with award-winning musician Matthew West to talk about his new album, Brand New, and new book, Hello, My Name Is: Discover Your True Identity. We get all sorts of labels from the world around us—from what we’ve done or failed to do, from what we wear, drive or eat, from where we work, or who we hang out with. But, as Matthew points out, discovering who you are starts with knowing whose you are. On your best and your worst day, you can know that God loves you. You can choose to believe what He says about you instead of creating an identity for yourself. This is the foundation for the greatest confidence in the world. This Is Who You Are in God’s Eyes . . . But now thus says the Lord, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine. . . Because you are precious in my eyes, And honored, and I love you.” — Isaiah 43:1, 4 (ESV) Precious and honored probably aren’t the words you’d normally use to describe how you’re feeling. But regardless of how you feel, what you’ve done or haven’t done, or what’s been done to you, you are a child of God—if you have chosen to enter into relationship with Him. He loves you. So, to help us really grasp our identity as children of God, here are a few journal questions to think about: Where do you normally find your identity? How does it feel to think that God is all yours, all the time? How does it feel to imagine that you never get on God’s nerves? In what areas of life do you need God to remind you who you are?
Why You Should Stop Trying to Be Perfect with GiGi Butler 0:47 Three Ways to Let Go of the Pressure to Be Perfect 13:38 The Importance of Being Original with GiGi Butler 25:54 Are You Under A Lot of Pressure?

Email us at hello@christywright.com to let us know what you think of the show. The pressure to live a picture-perfect life is everywhere, isn't it? We're always chasing impossible standards for the perfect body, business, spouse, kids and family. Today, we're going to talk about how to let go of the pressure to be perfect and embrace our missteps and mistakes. It's time to move past the fear of imperfection and live an authentic life. 3 Ways to Let Go of the Pressure to Be Perfect Today, we’re talking about how to let go of the pressure to be perfect. I don’t know about you, but I feel this pressure on an almost daily basis. We’re always chasing some perceived idea of the perfect body, the perfect mom, the perfect house, or the perfect job. But when we choose to let go of our own impossibly high standards and stop focusing on our weaknesses, we can actually live an authentic life. We’ll unpack three main ways to let go of perfection: Focus on what’s right. Laugh about what’s wrong. Redefine “good.” The Importance of Being Original with GiGi Butler “Life isn’t about being perfect: It’s about being original.” These powerful words are from my friend Gigi Butler, entrepreneur and founder of GiGi’s Cupcakes. Gigi and I talk about how waiting to make a move until everything is perfect will leave you stuck. Because first of all, perfection doesn’t exist. And more importantly, God did not create you to be average or to try to pattern your life after someone else’s version of perfect. He created you for a unique purpose that only you can accomplish. Are You Under a Lot of Pressure? “Since this is the kind of life we have chosen, the life of the Spirit, let us make sure that we do not just hold it as an idea in our heads or a sentiment in our hearts, but work out its implications in every detail of our lives. That means we will not compare ourselves with each other as if one of us were better and another worse. We have far more interesting things to do with our lives. Each of us is an original.” — Galatians 5:25–26 (The Message) I love this passage of Scripture because it reminds us that God has big plans for each one of us. We can choose to spend our lives missing out by constantly comparing ourselves to someone else’s version of success. But as this verse reminds us, “We have far more interesting things to do with our lives.” Here are a few journal questions to help you think and pray through today’s teaching on perfection: What’s going right in your life right now? What’s good? What’s going wrong that you can laugh about? How can you redefine “good”?

Email us at hello@christywright.com to let us know what you think of the show. Merry Christmas! This time each year we celebrate and remember one of the greatest stories ever told. So, today, we’re going to talk about the importance of your story. My new friend Mary Marantz joins us to talk about her story and how she’s using it to help others (and how you can too). And then we’ll take some time to pause, reflect and journal. Let’s dive in! It’s Time for a New Christmas Tradition! We all have Christmas traditions. My husband and I have this Christmas tradition where we write a letter of everything that happened during the year—major events, prayers, goals and dreams. We pack up the letters with our ornaments, then read them the following year when we open our boxes to decorate again. It's always amazing to see just how much can happen in one year’s time. But when you’re writing a letter like this, you don’t know what the next year will hold. Your perspective is so limited from where you're sitting. You might feel like there are pieces of your story that have no purpose. But what I love is that God works all things together for your good—even the hard things. Even those wilderness seasons where you're wondering if God has forgotten you. God can even use those for your good. From Trailer Life to Yale Law School with Mary Marantz I’m so excited because my new friend Mary Marantz is joining us to talk about her new book, Dirt: Growing Strong Roots in What Makes the Broken Beautiful. Mary is a podcaster, author and speaker, and she has an incredible story that I know you’ll love. Mary and I talk about running from failure (and stumbling into success), speaking life over yourself and others, and the beauty and importance of our stories. Can You Answer These Three Questions About Yourself? “‘I am the Lord’s servant,’ Mary answered. ‘May your word to me be fulfilled.’ Then the angel left her.” — Luke 1:38 (NIV) This verse is such a great reminder for you and me. God can speak to us in ways that seem crazy, impractical, illogical or impossible. But when God gives you a dream or prompts you to go in a certain direction, you can still faithfully and obediently say, “You’re God, and I'm not. And I trust what you're doing in my life, even though it doesn't make sense to me right now, and even though I might not like it.” So, I want to give you some journal questions to process as you think about what this means for your life and where you are right now—especially in this Christmas season. Where do you sense God leading you right now? How have you felt about your own personal story in the past? Where have you seen God's faithfulness in your story?

Email us at hello@christywright.com to let us know what you think of the show. This year has left so many people hopeless and wondering if things will ever change. So, today on the show, we’re talking about how we can have hope that things can change, even if it feels impossible. Then, I’m so excited because bestselling author, rapper, recording artist and businessman Lecrae is joining us to talk about restoration. Finally, we’ll take some time to pray and journal. It’s going to be so good! Feeling Lost and Broken? Watch This. Our God is a God who restores. He cares about the big things and the small things and everything in between. There have been so many times when God’s displayed that in my life. Let me give you an example: When I was 23 years old, I moved to this little house that backed up to the Harpeth River. I decided it was the perfect opportunity to get a canoe, and my mom had a friend who owned a canoe company. So, I got an old, beat up yellow canoe that didn’t have seats and even had some holes in the bottom, and it was perfect. I fixed it up and enjoyed it the entire summer. One day, I was so exhausted after canoeing that I decided not to pull the canoe all the way up the hill into my backyard and just flipped it over on the hillside. When I came out the next day, it was gone. Someone had stolen it. I felt so guilty for leaving it outside the fence and told myself I didn’t deserve another canoe. But a year and a half later, I moved to another house surrounded by the same river and decided it was time for another canoe. I asked my mom to call her friend again, and a few days later she pulled down the old gravel drive of my farmhouse with the same yellow canoe. I couldn’t believe it. Turns out, someone had stolen the canoe, and the store owner’s wife saw it propped up on someone’s porch. Listen: God cares. So, if you’re questioning if God sees you, if He cares about you, or if He cares about the little things . . . He does. Why You’re Never Too Messed Up for a Restoration with Lecrae Y’all, I’m so excited because I get to sit down with bestselling author, rapper, recording artist and businessman Lecrae to discuss the work he’s doing with his brand-new album and book. We cover a lot of ground, but here are some highlights: Reigniting hope during hard times Separating your identity from your circumstances Finding restoration despite brokenness What Healing Do You Need? “And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.” — 1 Peter 5:1–11 (NIV) I love this promise and reminder that God knows everything and can do anything. If God said it, He will do it. He doesn’t make broken promises. He can and will restore you when you trust Him with your deepest wounds and brokenness. He will make you steadfast and strong. Take some time to pray and write down the answers to these questions: Where do you need God to restore something in your life? What have you given up on in your life? Write down a prayer of restoration, asking God to show you who He is and to come through for you in a way that only He can.

Email us at hello@christywright.com to let us know what you think of the show. There’s something that you need to do and you may not even realize it: Learn how to manage your money. That’s right, today my good friend and New York Times bestselling author Rachel Cruze is joining me to talk about all things money and her new book, Know Yourself, Know Your Money. Then we’ll dive into Scripture and spend some time journaling. Why Learning About Money Is So Important So many of us never learned how to manage money growing up. And if you never learned how to manage money growing up, then you don't know how to manage your money now. You might be living paycheck to paycheck, barely getting by, and trying to pay your bills. You might be dreading those bills coming to your mailbox or inbox and struggling to keep your head above water. And you might just think, This is as good as it gets. There’s more for you than just getting by. You can learn how to manage your money. You can learn how to live on less than you make so you can actually have some money. The trick to having money isn’t just to make more money—it's spending less money. And that's hard, but when you learn about it, you can do it. You’ll feel more powerful, more in control, more proud of yourself and more hopeful about the future because you realize that the person in control of that future is you. The Secret to Understanding Money with Rachel Cruze My good friend and bestselling author Rachel Cruze is joining us on the show today to talk about her new book, Know Yourself, Know Your Money. Y’all, this isn’t just another money book (although it will help you in that area too). It’s all about the “why” of why you handle money the way you do. In her book, Rachel helps you really dig into your spending habits and values. Why You Should Be Asking God for Wisdom “If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.” — James 1:5 (NIV) You and I are so good at trying to fix things ourselves, aren't we? Oftentimes, when I face a problem in my life, I immediately go into problem-solving mode. And time after time, I run into dead ends and keep coming up empty-handed. After days or weeks of this, I’ll have an epiphany: Why don't I ask God about this? I'm so quick to try to pull myself up by my bootstraps and fix everything. And sometimes that works out for me, but a lot of times it doesn't. Here’s the reality: If you're in a place where you’re struggling financially or in any area of your life, there are things that you can do to fix it. But you also can seek wisdom and ask God (who gives generously without finding fault) to meet you there. He will provide for you. He will provide information, resources, steps. He will provide discipline. And if you need it, He will provide discernment and correction. I have a few journal questions to help you process and pray through this: In what area of your life do you need wisdom and help right now? What do you wish was different about your financial situation? What are you going to do to learn something new?

The very best gift that you can give others and yourself this Christmas is your presence, your attention and your eye contact. So, today on the show, I’m talking about one of the biggest distractions we all struggle with: our phones. Then, I want to unpack some wisdom from John Mark Comer’s book The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry. Finally, I’ll leave you with a few questions that will help you really apply this to your lives. Let’s jump in. What People Really Want This Christmas Every single human being has a need to feel seen. That’s why the very best gift you can give others and yourself this Christmas is simply your presence, your attention and your eye contact. And let's be honest. We all struggle with how much time we spend on our phones. It steals our moments and our ability to be present for the people who matter the most. When you start intentionally putting your phone down and engaging the person in front of you, you start to realize the gift is not just for the other person—it’s a gift for you as well. If you want a great Christmas, you have to show up for it and actually experience it yourself. Believe me: You won’t be disappointed. Always Running Out of Time? This Is Why. I’ve been reading an incredible book by John Mark Comer called The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry. In the book, John talks about the impact our technology is having on our lives and even our attention spans. So, I want to share some of that research with you: In the year 2000, before the digital revolution, our attention span was 12 seconds. It has dropped to eight seconds, to put things in perspective. A goldfish has an attention span of nine seconds. Yeah—we're losing to goldfish. If we can understand the dangerous, addictive nature of technology, screens, apps and notifications, we can guard against it. We can put boundaries and guardrails around our use of technology to help us focus on what matters most. So, if your phone isn’t the most important thing in your life, then stop acting like it is. Stop giving it that much of your attention, your eye contact, your energy and your time. What if you just let yourself live in the moment and experience things in real time? What if you looked up, made eye contact, and were actually present for the people and the moments that mattered the most to you? I think, if you’d do that, you’d completely change how you experience your own life. Why Slowing Down Is So Important “Be still, and know that I am God.” — Psalm 46:10 (NIV) A lot of us have this inner drive—this pull—to be everything to everyone. And if I'm honest, a lot of my hurry and rushing and activity and need to do all the things all the time for all the people comes from this deeper need to be the hero and to save the day. I have this Mother Teresa complex. Like, Well, if I don't do it, who will? If I don't do it, it won't get done. As if, somehow, the world hangs on my shoulders (which is laughable). We're busy, we're burned out, and we're running ragged. We're running ourselves to the ground. This verse doesn't ask us to be still. It's not a suggestion. It's a command. It says “Be still.” Be still and be quiet. Don't look at your phone. Don't even listen to music. Stop the noise. Stop the rushing. Stop the running. Stop trying to perform. Stop trying to keep up. Just stop. Be still. This verse is a beautiful reminder and invitation for me and you to be still and know that God is God and we are not. Take some time to answer these questions as you think about this: In what area (or areas) of your life do you feel the need to be a hero? What would need to happen for you to stop? What must be true for you to be still and rest? How could you be still, even in the chaos?

Today, we’re talking about how to “deal” with your in-laws so you can have the best relationship possible. I’m so excited because my friend (and fellow Ramsey Personality) Dr. John Delony joins us to talk about navigating relationships in our lives. Then, we’ll spend some time journaling about what we can do to apply this truth to our lives. 5 Rules to Have the Best Relationship With Your In-laws There's one particular relationship that research shows is the hardest of all: the relationship between a mother-in-law and a daughter-in-law. I've even done some reading on this because I'm asked about it so much. People really struggle with their relationship with their in-laws. That’s why I worked with my own mother-in-law to come up with five rules for improving your relationship. If both people do this, the relationship will improve: Appreciate everything. Invest in the relationship. Communicate. Be confident. Put yourself in their shoes. Why Relationships Are So Hard with John Delony I’m so excited because Dr. John Delony joins us in studio to talk about navigating our relationships with our in-laws. Y’all, this is good stuff. We cover everything from marriage and setting boundaries to learning how to communicate well so we can have the best relationships possible. I hope you lean in and take away some great tips that will help you navigate and pour into the relationships in your own life. Let’s Talk About Your In-Laws “Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.” – 1 Peter 4:8 (NIV) How many things would be solved if we just loved each other? How many things would be easier if we just thought of how we could show love? It's so easy to get frustrated with family and take them for granted, but family’s also a sacred relationship and a role that no one else gets to fill. That's why it's on us to lead the relationship. Don't sit back and take a passive approach. We have an opportunity to love first. So, I've got a few questions for you as you process this and think about how to apply it to your own life: What are 10 things you’re grateful for about your in-laws? What’s one healthy boundary you want to set and communicate with your in-laws? What’s one way you're going to show love to your in-laws this week?

We’re continuing our journey to get back to you today with Part 4: Knowing Where You’re Going. We’re going to dive into what God says about your future. Then the always amazing and hilarious Patsy Clairmont joins us to share her valuable wisdom. Finally, we’ll take some time to journal and work through what this means for our lives. Let’s go! Why You Should Get Your Hopes Up About the Future “You don’t have to guard your heart with me.” That’s what God told me one Sunday morning in church as I kept trying to push back something I wanted so badly. It felt selfish, and it felt greedy. So, I kept pushing it away. And there, as I was worshiping in church, I felt this gentle whisper: “Get your hopes up? I’m the God of hope.” In the middle of that moment, I was truly transformed. And it wasn't about getting what I wanted. It was about understanding how God feels about me, my heart and my desires. So, get your hopes up. He created your heart. He knows what to do with every desire He’s given you. And He knows what to do with every broken piece when you're disappointed. He’s the God of hope. There’s something so powerful that happens when you own your desires, open your heart, and are honest with God about who you are and what you want. Is Fear Holding You Back with Patsy Clairmont I’m so excited because today, I’m sitting down with one of my favorite authors, speakers, and Bible teachers, Patsy Clairmont. I love her, and I know you will too. Patsy and I covered a lot of ground, but here are some highlights: Getting our hopes up with God Owning your disappointment Being obedient in the small things Stop Guarding Your Heart “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” — Romans 15:13 (NIV) Our God is a God of hope. Of course, we should get our hopes up because our hope isn't in ourselves. It's not in our circumstances or our situation. Our hope is in God, who is the God of hope. You don't have to pull yourself up by your bootstraps. You don't have to be a good Christian, check all the boxes, or do your Bible study every day for God to meet you where you are and fill you with hope. You and I have every reason to get our hopes up because our God is the God of hope. And through the power of the Holy Spirit, we can actually overflow with hope. Take some time to sit and pray and answer these questions: How have you been guarding your heart from God? What dreams and desires do you have right now? Write down a prayer of trust and faith and hope and give those desires to God.
