In The Meantime with Timmy Riggs

In the episode I sit down with Pastor Dan Rodriguez and we discuss the components of spirituality, relationships, and vocation. I hope this encourages you where needed. 

I believe so much of our environment is forcing us to become less and less human. Technology is a great thing, until it causes us to lose touch with we are. You don't have to drift, or be on autopilot. You can make the decisions that get you moving in the direction you want to go. 

Eating healthy can be tough, but its a big part of cultivating a healthy-whole life. In this episode I touch on two small tips we could implement today that will help us going forward with our diet. 

Gratitude is just like complaining; the more you do it, the better you  become. 

Talking about money is always tough. But not thinking about it correctly is even harder. In this episode I talk about my philosophy when it comes to money, and I hope it can serve you well! 

Far too often we can find ourselves just floating and coasting through life. But I believe, in the meantime, there is an alternative! That we can choose how to use the energy we have been given. I also believe we can improve our energy. But in this episode I discuss the best places where to put it. I first and foremost I believe we should bring our best energy to the people we interact with! 

In this episode I sure mostly about the transition I am making in my career. Moving from a full time employee to full time entrepreneur! I'm excited about  this new season and I wanted to share a little bit about my journey, but also share a few pieces of advice on how I navigated through my decision. If this encourages you I would love for you to give me some feedback and share with your friends....

There is no need to wait for someone else, or for something else, to improve your life. You have the opportunity to do that today! How? First by taking control of your emotions/attitude. Its the number one way to begin to change your life today! 

In this episode I talk with my good friend Colin Pasque about the many aspects of healthy living! It is hands down one of the most important things we can do in the meantime, yet so many times it falls to the back burner! Colin provides wonderful types on training and how it can be a part of your daily routine! 

In this episode I talk briefly about one of my favorite stories from scripture. A blind beggar hears of Jesus coming to town, and instead of thinking that he doesn't deserve  to be better, he does what he can to get to Jesus. He chooses to live a life where his weakness doesn't define him. So often we're paralyzed by our  limitations. It's time for you to have the courage to be bad at something  w...

I think it's fair to say that it's both. But ultimately I feel like more than anything social media is only revealing who we truly are on the inside! 

Sat down with my buddy again to talk about the main things that we're growing through!

The common denominator in getting better or not getting better is often connected to the people you are closest with!

I believe in this one big time! Throughout our days we often have moments where we can either be quick to criticize or quick to  coach. Our ability to be coachable is fully reliant on the ability of the coach. Lets choose in the meantime to throw out a critical spirit, and choose the life of a coach.

I love this phrase for its double meaning. We can get better as a human each day over time, it doesn't have to be all at once...and we can get better with how we use our time. Listen to some of the crazy stats about how the average person uses their time! My goal in this episode is to help you become more aware of how you invest your time! 

Time to not just do more, but to do MORE of what really matters. I have a couple of thoughts on here about what I'm aiming to do with excellence for the next 30 days. If you listen, I'd encourage you to challenge yourself with the same thing! 

This message is for graduates and anyone still fighting their student debt!! The best thing to do is ATTACK it. There is a huge difference between deferment and forbearance and I share that information briefly. No matter the size of your student debt, make a plan, stick to it, and make war on it. So many of us our in this boat. Let's pay it off sooner than later. 

Doing hard things always reaps a big reward. The deal is, however, is that usually the hard things  we  want to do that offer big rewards, also come with major fear factors attached. But we shouldn't let that stop us, it could change our lives! 

As much as it sucks sometimes, its only out of  tension and struggle  that strength is produced. Think about it, if  you wanted to run a couple miles a day and you haven't in forever, that first run is going to be miserable.  But then everyone after that is going to get easier! Life is the someway. We are in a corporate struggle. But  if we manage the right way we can come out stronger. 

Its definitely a time to be cautious and  prepared...but I also believe its a time to move forward, innovate, and create! 

Bryton is my  business  partner for Streakers Window Cleaning! He's a great friend and someone who is moving through the meantime the right way. Tune in to hear about the birth of our business and the birth of Bryton's pastoral career! 

Case and I sat down and talked about our friendship, our callings, and everything in between. We briefly discussed the challenges included in pastoring the younger generation. Hopefully this can be encouraging to you. 

Living a life where you are constantly thinking "I can't wait till..." often keeps us living a life full of purpose. I believe that if we begin to see each day as an opportunity to grow and impact others, then even during struggles and when we have to do hard things, we can live a purposeful life.  

Here was a sermon that I preached last summer where the focus is around leadership and the risk it takes to lead like Jesus. 

I believe this episode could be really impactful for a lot of people. Kate is a great friend of mine, and phenomenal pastor, and someone that is going after a God given dream that would impact people in a major way. Also, we start off our conversation about a conflict her and I had that we had to work through.
