Every single man listening to this is familiar with discipline and has applied it (to varying degrees) in his life. We generally think of discipline as an overall good thing (and, I think it is) but it can often lead to bouts of frustration and unnecessary suffering if utilized incorrectly. My guest today, Craig Ballantyne, makes the case that discipline, although, a powerful force for productivity comes with strings attached, and isn't the end-all, save-all it's often made out to be. Today, we talk about what true discipline is not, why chasing the wrong target is so common and what to do about it, what I call the “self-help hangover” and how to avoid it, why you should know the distinction between standards and expectations, and how to avoid what Craig calls, “The Doom Loop” in your life.

What if forgiveness didn't mean forgetting, reconciling, or letting people off the hook — but reclaiming your future? Learning how to forgive — even when it feels like the hardest thing in the world to do — is transformative. It's a complex process, and there's a real art to balancing boundaries and letting go. It's an art Rachael Coopes is obsessed with. She's the author of The Art of Forgiveness.

During a conference, we once asked everyone how many people had same-sex attraction as some part of their history, either from childhood, the porn they watched or a relationship they pursued. Over half the people raised their hand.Today, 22% of Gen Z identify as LGBTQ. Even with this level of cultural prevalence, many Christians struggle with how they view people with same-sex attraction, and what should they say to them.On this podcast, we have Part 2 of our conversation with Niki Speed, and how God pursued her life to not only save and heal her, but to bless her. You'll be encouraged by her story as we bring her husband Paul into the conversation. Together, they paint a beautiful picture of how God took a hopeless, helpless, hot mess (Niki's words), and turned her into something only God could create - beautiful, whole and redeemed.Phil and PriscillaP.S. - Do you need help in your marriage?

When we first heard Niki Speed's story, it was instrumental in helping us believe nothing was too big for God, including same-sex attraction and the trauma of our past. Today, we're so pleased to introduce Niki Speed, who is married to Paul Speed, the Founder of Whatever it Takes Ministries. We've served with them for many years at weekend intensives with Whatever it Takes Ministries, and Niki is real, raw and shares transparently about how she not only embraced a lesbian lifestyle for 20 years, but also how she got there, and how God rescued her life.So, if you need a fresh touch from God in believing Him for what seems to be impossible, listen to Niki (and Paul) as they share how God brought Niki from a life that most would think could never recover, to a ministry that's helping people overcome the trauma and wounds of their past.Phil and PriscillaP.S. - Do you need help in your marriage?

Healing Our Hurts What if your past pain is still shaping your future? This message is about healing—not just the obvious hurts, but the hidden wounds we carry through life. Betrayal, grief, disappointment, shame—these don't fade with time. But the cross and the empty tomb tell a better story. Jesus showed us the way: He acknowledged the hurt, let go of the right to retaliate, prayed for His enemies, made room for reconciliation, and trusted God with the outcome. If He carried our wounds to the cross and walked out of the grave—scars and all—maybe your pain has a purpose too. And maybe healing will start today. Luke 23:26-56 Discussion topics Icebreaker - When you hear the word hurt, what's the first story, memory, or feeling that comes to mind? Luke 22:44 – Jesus in the Garden - What does this moment teach us about acknowledging our pain instead of suppressing it? Is there a hurt in your life that you've avoided naming or dealing with? 5 Steps to Healing - Of the 5 Steps to Healing shared in the sermon (Acknowledge the Hurt, Forfeit the Right to Punish, Pray for Them, Be Open to Reconciliation, Trust God with Your Future), Which step is hardest for you right now? Why? Which one do you feel God is inviting you to take next? From Pain to Purpose - Jesus rose with scars, not open wounds. What would it look like for your hurt to become a scar—no longer painful, but still purposeful? Is there anyone in your Community Group that needs to take their next step by being water baptized? Check out our other audio series and video playlists that can help you find Jesus in every moment and then discover what's next

Focus on One Thing at a TimeStop doing everything all at once.Whether it's Instagram, TikTok, or another platform, pick one and stick with it for at least six months otherwise you'll never the momentum and experience to achieve success in network marketing.2. Stick to the Income Producing ActivitiesAchieving success in the future in network marketing doesn't require fancy tools but does require you to focus on The DMO (Daily Method of Operation) and list of income producing activities.Post on social media, meet new people, send invitations, follow-up and do presentations.Here are complete details of these 5 income producing activities3.

Celebrate your consistency and you'll event get the results you want in the future.Don't Compare Yourself to OthersDon't let someone's highlight reel on social media compare to your reality because what you see is just the highlights and not their real life!Stay in your lane and focus on your own journey.Embrace MistakesMaking mistakes isn't bad because it's how you learn.The more mistakes you make, the faster you grow.Recap on The Future of Network Marketing in 2025The future of network marketing is bright, but it's going to be hard but so worth it.Network marketing gives you the chance to build residual income, connect with amazing people, and change lives.If you want to succeed in network marketing, remember to stay focused on the income producing activities.Keep it simple, stay focused and take consistent action!Helpful MLM ResourcesNetwork Marketing Training HubGoal Setting in Network Marketing GuideConsistency Champions Club Coaching
