March or Die

One area that we do not focus on enough is the mental health challenges of those working in the First Responder community. Dealing daily with traumatic and potentially dangerous situations, years of shift work and mandatory overtime all contribute to high levels of anxiety, depression, often suicide among those who keep us safe. Thankfully, these challenges, as well as resources and solutions, are...

How do we move from a place of Guilt and Shame to a place of Freedom and Redemption? And what does Ultra Running have to do with it? And, more importantly, do I have to be an Ultra Runner to experience Freedom and Redemption? Obviously we do not experience redemption through running, but there are lessons that can be learned about overcoming Guilt and Shame when we commit to doing hard things. Red...

Does social media shape the way we view the world? Can we attune to listen when God is putting an opportunity in front of us? On this bonus episode from LifeAudio's "Talk About That" hosts John and Jonnie W draw from real-life examples on topics ranging from social media to divine interruptions while bringing some comedy to a heartfelt conversation.  If you like what you hear, please subscribe to...

How do you move forward when it would be easier to stay where you are and die? This is the question that I ask, and attempt to answer, every week on The March or Die Show as we discuss principles for moving forward when it feels like your world is falling apart. That is why I am excited to share this week's interview and guest with you. Today I am honored to interview Author, Texas State Represent...

While Christianity was once respected in our culture, even among those who did not claim to be Christians, we are now living at a time in history where Christianity is viewed negatively at worst and with suspicion at best! To tell someone that you are a regular part of a local church may very well cause that person to think less of you than if you had said nothing at all. In his book, "Life in the...

On this weeks episode of The March or Die Show, I discuss a brand new resource designed to confront the epidemic of Suicide that is sweeping across our nation. Instead of surrendering to the purposelessness, hopelessness, pain and anguish, thereby spreading it around to everyone in your life, you can find a new purpose. A new hope. A new mission to give your life meaning. You have so much still to...

There is a story in history that is both incredible and in many ways unknown. In fact, it is likely that you if you know anything at all about the Armenian Genocide you know very little. But this is a story that we need to know! The first Christian nation experiencing a genocide of 1.5 million Christians that served as the model for the Jewish Holocaust of World War II. And in the midst of this tr...

Do you ever lose your focus? It can be easy in a world with so many distractions to lose sight of the reason we are doing all that we are doing. We can go through the motions and get some things done, but without a clear focus, we will never accomplish all that we can or should. Thankfully, as with so many other things, there is a great example in the Bible of how to maintain our focus when the wo...

How do you move forward when the Prayers That You've Prayed Go Unanswered? We know that when we are struggling in life we are supposed to go to God in prayer. But what do we do when He doesn't answer or when He doesn't answer the way that we think He should? How do we keep moving forward, Marching, when it feels like we are all alone? This week on The March or Die Show, I talk through four perspec...

How do we cut through the noise and chaos that so often exists around us? While most of us say that we understand the importance of our "why", practically speaking we don't use our why to help move us forward! With so many distractions vying for our attention, we need to be clear on our "why" so that we can know where we are going and how to take the next step in that direction. This week on the M...

I believe that one of the reasons so many people struggle to move forward in their lives is because of a lack of forgiveness. We have all been hurt. That, unfortunately, is a part of being human. We cannot avoid being hurt, but when we learn how to forgive those that have done the hurting we are able to move forward into the life that God has created us to live. There is a freedom that comes from...

Why is it that in the new seasons of life, the seasons when we should be full of hope and excited about the future, we are often overwhelmed and burdened down? Whether it is a new year, a new job, a new relationship, or something else "new", we need to understand how to move into these seasons in a way that brings rest instead of fear and uncertainty. This is something that I have been thinking al...

What are you doing now to make the most out of the New Year? As in most other areas of life, if you are not actively preparing, the coming year will just be a repeat of the last. The good news is that this CAN be the best year ever if you get ready right now. This week on The March or Die Show, we discuss three important steps as you seek to March the New Year!

Who is the Christ of Christmas and why did He come? As we celebrate this week, it's important for us to know both WHO and WHY we celebrate! This week on The March or Die show, we pause to take a look at those two questions. In the midst of the busyness of the season, let's not forget what it's really all about.

With everything going on during the Christmas season, it can be difficult to know exactly where to focus. The problem with a lack of focus at this time of year, is that we can get to the other side exhausted while missing the reason this holiday exists! Family and presents and gatherings with friends are all great, but we need to make sure we are focused on the right person (The Christ of Christma...

The holiday season (Thanksgiving thru New Years) should be a wonderful time of year. It will not be without its pressures or unpleasant moments, but it can be a time where we are able to focus on what is truly important in life while resetting for the year to come. But this will never happen if we don't plan.  This week I am sharing an episode of the March or Die Show that was originally published...

What is true Biblical Masculinity? What makes a Man different than just an adult Male? What is our guide for defining and understanding this and why is real masculinity such a challenge in today's culture? This week on "The March or Die Show" I have the privilege of interviewing Jim Ramos who is the founder of the Men in the Arena ministry. Through his podcast, books, and ministry to men across th...

During this holiday season we know that we are supposed to be thankful. So, in the spirit of the holiday, we take time out from the frustration and anger we often feel at work and express thanksgiving over a large meal around friends before getting frustrated and angry again when we go out to do our Christmas shopping! Somewhere I think we may have missed the true "spirit" of the season. Which is...

This last weekend I finally finished the 22 for 22 Challenge! For those of you that have not been following along, this means that I ran 22 marathons, for a total of 576 miles, in 22 days. There was so much that went into this and so many lessons learned along the way. Today, I wanted to take a few minutes to share some of those lessons with you. It is amazing what you can learn when you spend tha...

One of the big lessons that I have been learning over the last few weeks is that comparing myself to others is an empty exercise. When I see what others are doing it can, if I am not careful, make me feel as though I am not doing enough. What all of us should do, though, is ask the questions, "Am I doing all that I can, with what I have, where I am?" The answer to that question truly reveals wheth...

What motivates you to keep going when keeping your commitments get's really hard? How do you decide whether a job is worth finishing or one that should be abandoned? This week I share a lesson that I was reminded of while running the Marine Corps Marathon. I am in the middle of running 22 marathons in 22 days and along the way have learned (or been reminded) of quite a few great lessons. Todays? D...

"Is there not a cause?" This was the statement from David, the future King of Israel when he was facing a seemingly insurmountable battle. He knew that there are some causes so big that there is no cost we should be unwilling to pay. This week on The March or Die Show, I share some thoughts that I have had as I work to run 22 marathons in 22 days, beginning with the importance of understanding the...

Why is it important to intentionally Do Hard Things? In a time when comfort is exalted about just about everything else, what makes intentionally doing difficult things so powerful? This week on The March or Die Show I discuss how a structured, intentional focus on doing hard things prepares you for  all that life will throw your way.

Have you ever felt like an imposter? Not that you were trying to be intentionally deceptive, but that you were afraid if others found out what you are really like they may just walk away? Believe it or not, we have all felt this way at one time or another. Regardless of where you are in your life or relationships, it is possible to feel like an imposter. But what do you do when this feeling creeps...
