The Strategic Living Podcast with Brian Holmes

Relationships come and go. As you and I grow and pursue what the Father has for us, we find not everyone is willing to go where we’re called to go. In this revisited episode I share a little about my journey the last few years, and how along the way it’s been necessary to evaluate relationships and make adjustments in order to continue our progress. I’m thrilled to bring to you my Interview With D...

Spring time in these parts means a fresh start, and the infamous spring cleaning! I’m not just talking about dusting and vacuuming, but cleaning out the physical, emotional, and even the unnoticed clutter from your life. If you have clutter, you’re polluting your potential!

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. This mindset has crippled our ability to bring heaven on earth, and has paralyzed us in becoming relevant change agents in the culture. On today’s program, I want to share with you the importance of Convergence: When Market And Ministry Colli...

What do stale bread, moldy cheese, and stinky meat have to do with our lives, business, relationships, or dreams? Tune in and find out! We’ve been talking over the last several weeks about life transitions, business transitions, seasons of change in general. Not counting ourselves out, we’re transitioning our program and getting it ready for a relaunch later this spring! We’ll be airing some episo...

So long as you continue to carry all the weight of everything you’ve experienced through life to today, you’ll continue to be stuck, make no advances, and never experience the freedom that comes from letting go.

Five years ago I embarked on an unknown journey. My sense was I was being invited to a place I had never been, and I was filled with uncertainty. (Which is the anatomy of an adventure!) I said “yes”, even though I didn’t have all – or any – of the answers.  When I said “yes”, I did so without hesitation, without reservation, and with all of my heart. As a result, I’m living a life I never knew pos...

I always have a lot going on, whether it’s projects, tasks, to-dos, or even having fun. I tend to take on more than I can effectively finish. Less is more. Simplifying is multiplying.

We are creatures of comfort, craving the familiar and “normal”. We unconsciously defend – even rationalize – our positions and attitudes as a way of avoiding exposure or risk. Most times, however, you have to leave safety and security behind and risk everything to commit your life and future to your unknown destiny. Episode Summary: If you’re going to succeed, you may have to sabotage your own esc...

The passage of time isn’t something simply to look back on. It’s a time to reflect, certainly. But not a certificate to define your tomorrow. Learn, embrace, then embark! Your next season is full of possibility.

What does it mean to be a believer? A believer in what? Today I’m sharing the most meaningful gift I’ve ever received, the story behind it, and the purpose that propels life as I know it!

I love pouring into others and developing leaders, through the content on this podcast especially. I am also an inherently transparent guy, and believe in the value of sharing, learning, and doing life with one another. What I want to do today is simply share some of my life with you. I want to pull back the curtains a little and let you backstage. I want you to be able to glean from my experience...

As I enter a new year, a new decade, a new season of life, I have some reflections from my first 50 years I’d like to pass along to you!

I don’t think I could be any more excited than I am to introduce you to someone who has had incredible influence and impact in my life. You’ve heard me speak about the journey I’ve been on over the last five years, and I frequently share when we’re in the midst of transition and advancing to our next level in life, the key relationships God sends us make such a powerful difference. My guest today...

You’ve heard it said, “What you see is what you get.” The same rings true with what you expect. If you expect the same you’ve always had, you’ll be content to stay there. Find out more in today’s video.

Continuing our discussion on new beginnings, I want to encourage you to embrace the possible, and dust off your dreams.

It’s 2017, and an epic new year has begun! Every new year brings about the opportunity to start anew. It is a widely observed tradition to set resolutions, and for many, a new set of goals and dreams for the coming 12 months. Many are talking about this, and while I certainly practice goal setting and planning, it is my supposition there are other factors at play to determine whether or not I will...

It’s a new year, which means new beginnings. We’re talking about the importance of a fresh outlook, a clear vision, and determination for making things happen.

There is a tangible sense something is stirring, and we are about to be ushered into a new season of life, a new era of influence, and a window of opportunity like we’ve never seen before! Today, we are talking in terms of No More Excuses! It’s Go Time!
