The Strategic Living Podcast with Brian Holmes

Experience what it is God wants you to experience. I truly believe it’s success on every level in your life – health, wealth, relationships… This is a common time of year for most people to be thinking about “New Year’s Resolutions”. I believe “commitment” is a better word than “resolution“. Resolution has become overused and lost it’s meaning. So this year I want you to make a new “commitment” to...

Are you ready for the new year? Last week, we talked about transition. We are now approaching a brand new YEAR, and how you leave one place is how you enter another. ON today’s program, I want us to look at 15 Questions that will focus you mind and heart on entering the new season with confidence and intentionality Click  HERE  to get your free powerful worksheet to help prepare you for your best...

What will you do with change when it comes to you? You see, TRANSITION is something we will all experience in life. It is that place between the way things used to be and the way they are becoming. It is the blank page between two chapters in a book. It is unchartered territory. It’s not where you have been, and it is not the full expression of where you are going. It is the place called BETWEEN....

Last week we talked about the power of your words What you say is what you GET. It is imperative that we become aware of, and alter what we say, as it directly impacts our outcomes. On today’s program, I want to share with you a process by which you can radically alter your life by learning the art of confession and affirmation. Premises from the Word:  1) God has a pre-determined plan and vision...

What you say is what you GET I really believe this to be true.  Our thoughts lead to beliefs; out of our beliefs we talk, both internally to ourselves, and outwardly to others; and what we say has tremendous creative power. Have you ever intentionally turned up the volume and raised your awareness of what comes out of your mouth? You might be shocked if you walked around with a recorder all day. W...

A few questions Are you overweight? Are you miserable in your current job/career situation? Do you keep repeating the same patterns in life? Do you want to make more money? Do you feel you have more to offer this world? Are you tired of where you are living? Are you yearning for new, life giving relationships? Are you tired of the SAME OLD, SAME OLD? Sounds like you make be ready for some CHANGE!!...

One of my most desired things is to live my life ABOVE AVERAGE I believe with every fiber of my being that I am born to be great, and to be great only requires that I choose not to be average and ordinary. It is EASY to go with the flow.  It is comfortable to compare ourselves against everyone else, making sure that we ‘MEASURE UP’ to what the world expects of us. It requires no real effort to mai...

I am often asked, how did the Ties That Bind come to be? Others want to know my personal story; what makes me an authority on the process of healing I so often talk about. Well, like many others, I have a story to tell It’s my story… a true story Before this story began; before I needed healing; before I came to a crisis place in my own life; before God met me in the most unlikely place in 2000, H...

Passionate Leadership That Produces Results I am excited today to share with you some thoughts on Becoming A Passionate Leader. You may or may not fancy yourself a ‘leader’, but the truth is, everyone of us are created by God to LEAD our generation in some way or form. We talk often on this program about BECOMING or BEING. We also refer to DEVELOPING LEADERS. What do we mean by this? I will tell y...

Can You Hear Me Now? – 10 Ways That God Speaks To Us For several weeks I have been sharing on our Monday Mastery about Relating With God as Father. In our last episode, I shared with you on How To Hear and Follow His Voice. Why is this so important? Why is this such a focus of mine right now? How does this affect my life, business, marriage, family? These principles are currently in the process of...

Are you hearing voices? Well there’s one voice you need to be listening for… We find ourselves in a season right now where God is inviting us to LEARN what it means to be LED by the Spirit; to follow hard after Him; to trust His leadership; and to HEAR His voice. One of the challenges we face as 21st century Christian’s is that somewhere along the way, our reliance factor changed over from relying...

Today’s episode is a little more challenging than usual… are you ready? God has put dreams into your heart He wants you to achieve. He has brought relationships into your life for your growth and encouragement to help you achieve those dreams. BUT if you don’t take action you can miss all that God has in store for you. Are you someone who says “yes” to lots of things but has trouble following thro...

Cliff and I met in early 2012, and have develop...

What was your relationship like with your natural father? How has that impacted your ability to relate with God as your Father in heaven? Do you really know Him as Daddy God? On today’s podcast, I want to share with you a little of my personal journey and from that, share with you some keys for being fully restored to and fully engaged with God as Father. Biblical Principle: Prodigal Son – Luke 15...

We live in a day where there are SO many opportunities to learn, grow, and consume great content. One of the most awesome ways is those mediums that come to us by way of the internet. What is really great is that ALL of these can be done on a computer, smart phone, tablet, or otherwise. This is the way I do SO MUCH of my personal development. This is the way I feed my mind and spirit on a regular ...

It is amazing how we go about our lives and never realize the accumulation of STUFF. Files, papers, receipts, extras of everything, a garage full of sports equipment, camping gear that is never used, boxes, etc. What about BOOKS, magazines, or even the E-mail inbox? The truth is, there is something about the human condition where we want to collect and keep YET, there is a time to throw away, clea...

America, with all of its faults and challenges, still remains a shining beacon of hope, freedom, and opportunity. Without question, the USA stands as evidence of the grace and blessing of God. As I have crisscrossed this nation for the last 20 years, having visited more than 2/3 of the states, what I see is a beautiful land; a blessed people, and a nation that God Himself has raised up as a light....

One of the guiding principles in my life is that one MUST be committed to personal growth if he/she wants to be successful in life. While this may look different for each person, there are some key areas that are so important if we desire to become the full expression of what God has created us to be. We must … Grow Spiritually Grow Your Character Grow Your Mind Grow Your Competency Grow Your Conf...

One of the new and emerging trends in business is that of Social Entrepreneurship. While there are many variations and definitions of it, in our minds it is the convergence of the business savvy and resources of the entrepreneurial spirit, and a specific social need or cause. Those individuals who champion such a cause literally change the world with an idea, while at the same time, they are able...

As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives. – Henry David Thoreau What we THINK or BELIEVE to be true governs the outcomes in our lives in a very real way. It stands to...

One of the most important aspects of living strategically and successfully is having a real understand of WHO YOU ARE, and WHAT God has graced you to do. So many people gravitate to the lane that LIFE has dictated to them. SO many wind up living their life to measure up to the expectations of others. Some live there lives LOCKED in a place that was never intended for them; their beliefs and their...
