“The only way you gain mental toughness is to do things you're not happy doing. If you continue doing things that you're satisfied and make you happy, you're not getting stronger. You're staying where you're at. Either you're getting better, or you're getting worse. You're not staying the same.” — David Goggins. Mental toughness is the ability to stay aligned with the Creator when every voice around you is trying to pull you into a trap. Goggins is right: if you only do what

“Indecision is the thief of opportunity... it is a disease because it keeps you from making the moves that could change your life.” — Jim Rohn... "Maybe" is a playground for the enemy. We often dress up our indecision as "waiting for a sign" or "praying about it," but more often than not, it is simply a fear of the commitment. . Indecision is a disease because it leaves the door to your heart cracked open for compromise. When you refuse to commit to something or someone, you

“Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment... and that bridge must be crossed every day. It eventually becomes a habit.” — Jim Rohn We live in a culture of "starts"—new diets, new prayers, new resolutions. Looking back at the life you left behind, or the "comfort" you sacrificed, is a form of spiritual indecision. It creates a structural crack in your bridge. Endurance is the discipline of the true leader who understands that the "accomplishment" isn't a trop

“If you do not conquer yourself, you will be conquered by yourself.” — Napoleon Hill Self-Mastery: Failing to govern your own mind, emotions, and desires allows these internal factors to dictate your life, leading to self-defeat. Internal Obstacles: Fears and doubts are the primary culprits that hold individuals back, and conquering them is necessary for success. Active Choice: The phrase implies that one must actively cultivate discipline, purpose, and self-awareness to a

"The greatest tragedy is not that we are not enough, but that we believe the lie that says we can never be different. The 'Liedentity' convinces us that we are a finished product of our past mistakes, rather than a work in progress in the hands of the Creator." — DLL... The reason we fail to see life as a "privilege and opportunity" is often because we are too busy "considering the things of old." The Liedentity functions on rehearsal—rehearsing our failures, our traumas, and

Subject: Your words can also make you sick... Blessing or curses! Proverbs 12:18 ESV  There is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts, but the tongue of the wise brings healing. Proverbs 13:3 ESV Whoever guards his mouth preserves his life; he who opens wide his lips comes to ruin. Proverbs 18:7 ESV A fool's mouth is his ruin, and his lips are a snare to his soul. Proverbs 21:23 ESV Whoever keeps his mouth and his tongue keeps himself out of trouble. Source Mary B

"The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn."...quote by Herbert Gerjoy included in Alvin Toffler's Future Shock . Toffler expanded on this perspective by saying " We must search out totally new ways to anchor ourselves, for all the old roots—religion, nation, community, family, or profession—are now shaking under the hurricane impact of the accelerative thrust." Discernment requires humili

"The wound is the place where the light enters you." — RA... The Liedentity is a wall built to hide our scars. Surrender is the moment we stop "fixing" the mask and let it shatter. We can't be healed of a self we refuse to expose. The Altar isn't for improving the old man, but for letting Light penetrate our broken places to birth the new. Matthew 16:25 "Whoever loses his life for my sake will find it." Adapted with permission from DQ&V - Dale Lee, Anesti

Leadership is an act of submission. To be a leader means listening to all kinds of people and in all types of situations. This is the price of leadership—it’s an act of sacrifice. Leadership does not begin with authority—it begins with surrender. Those who lead well do so not by asserting their will, but by submitting it first. So leadership is part and parcel of the work of submission to God and others. The leader who refuses to submit to God will inevitably impose himsel

Disclaimer: The point of this post is not to be an alarmist about a specific food product/brand. Instead the point of this post is to bring awareness to how manipulating the truth regardless of the motivation can result in negative consequences to an unkowing/trusting population. We MUST utilize our superpowers of common sense and logic when making healthy living choices. We should all be seeking to eat more healthy, natural foods, but this can sometimes be difficult when an

This quote from the movie A Few Good Men is applicable in our every day lives. We face this question at home, at work, and certainly in the media. What is your source of truth? “The truth sounds like hate to those who hate the truth.”— Todd Wagner...  Not every hostile reaction is about tone or delivery. Sometimes the resistance is to the truth itself. Scripture tells us the same message produces opposite responses. To some, the truth is life and freedom. To others, it is u

Do not wait; the time will never be ‘just right.’ Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along.”— George Herbert... Waiting for perfect conditions is one of the most subtle forms of disobedience. Scripture reminds us that those who wait for certainty never move, and those who wait for ideal circumstances never sow. God does not call us to predict outcomes—He calls us to act in faith. Jesus fra

Have you ever wondered, Why would a loving heavenly Father allow His children to go through trials and sorrow? It can be baffling when the all-powerful God of love seems to stand by silently while painful things happen. The Word of God is the place we can find an answer. Even so, today’s reading can be hard to understand or accept. One might read James’s exhortation to be joyful in the face of trials and think, Count me out! Difficulties and joy just don’t seem to go togethe

The Redeeming Identity Podcast is a place where sons and daughters of the perfect heavenly Father are empowered to live from their true, core God-given identity. Before even our father or mothers knew us, we were carefully crafted by the hands of our Heavenly Father in our mothers’ wombs. However, from the moment that each of us enter this hostile world, we are targeted by the enemy of our souls who seeks to steal, kill, and destroy! His number one strategy is speaking his na

“Integrity is doing the right thing, even when no one is watching.” — C.S. Lewis… Integrity is rarely loud, and it’s almost never noticed in the moment. Most of the choices that shape us happen quietly—when there’s no recognition, no applause, and no one keeping score. Integrity doesn’t just describe who we are; it guides us. It steadies us when emotions pull, when shortcuts tempt, and when compromise feels easier. A divided life eventually divides the soul. What we pretend

How do you prioritize important aspects of your life with regards to your career, your spouse, your family, your hobbies, your dreams, and your faith? If you say your first priority is a job/career or a hobby or your kids or some dream you have, followed by your spouse and maybe your faith with these priorities rotating based on circumstances, then please take a moment to grasp how this choice has long reaching consequences. You may feel that ‘balancing’ priorities make

“If your peace depends on everything going right, it’s not peace, it’s control. Learn to be steady in uncertainty. That’s real growth.” — Arben Kanani If interested in learning more, please take a moment to read a verse from the Bible that aligns with Arben Kanani's statement : Isaiah 26:3 “You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.” Biblical peace is not the absence of trouble — it is the presence of trust. Control seeks certai
