We can actually become STUCK in a present state because of limiting beliefs. The truth is most of what we struggle with in our lives, is not because of someone, or something outside of ourselves. It is because of our underlying core beliefs about life, worth, value, ability, etc. If we can tune into the thoughts and the self talk taking place in our minds, and change our picture of what is possibl...

Albert Einstein once said, “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.” Our thinking, our beliefs, our ways of processing, have all contributed to our current circumstances. In order to change this, or to make any progress, we must utilize Next Level Thinking. Everyone wants “more” or “to get ahead”, but few go all in and identify what must change in order to...

Join me today as we talk about mastering the If/Then Principle! P...

We Have “Them and Us” Syndrome One of the greatest travesties I’ve witnessed in my lifetime is intentional separation between the church and the marketplace.

On today’s program, I want to share with you the importance of Convergence: When Ministry Meets the Market...

We behave and act out of habit As we embark on another year, one of the most important things we can do is evaluate our habits. Habits, when formed, become second nature DRIVERS for our lives. These habits produce results; so when the results you are presently experiencing in you life don’t match up to what you want or know you are capable of, you must, as RAFIKI said … LOOK CLOSER! ON today’s pro...
