"Until you view your life in the context of war, you will misinterpret 90% of what happens in life." - John Eldredge We are all in a battle.

153. Authority: The Key To Getting God's Flow In Your Life

Authority is a term we often take for granted and rarely think through. As such, we often breeze past how important it is to have an understanding of authority.

If you were going to leave your loved ones forever, what would you want your final words to be? This is the scenario we get in Matthew 28 when Jesus is ascending into heaven and giving final instructions to his disciples. He tells them to go into all the world and make disciples... But what is a disciple? That is not a word we use in today's language and we are worlds away from the time that Jesus spoke those words. So how do we make sense of them? In this episode, we look at what discipleship i...

We all want our kids to do better than we did. We want them to know and love God, know who they are, and live purposeful lives in line with our family values.

That’s why Pastor Keith Craft wrote Dear Parent 32 years ago.

141. What Is A Godly Man in Modern Times?

According to a March 2024 Gallup poll, only 21% of Americans attend their religious services weekly. That means 1 in 5 attend services even though 68% of Americans identify themselves as Christian.

In this episode, we look at what's changed and what never changes about being a Godly man. We look at ho...

Training is a word that we hear often but experience rarely. What we actually experience more is learning. So what's the difference?

Comfort is the silent killer. In a society where survival is taken for granted, we all have multiple options for comfort available to us at all times during the day.

And while many people would consider themselves disciplined or desire discipline, there is a level to it that very few people know exists. This is when discipline becomes part of your identity and is not dependent ...

133. Breaking the Default: Unlocking the Power of Vision in Mindset, Family, and Business

So much of our own limitations are down to a lack of vision. We accept things as they are and don't question anything beyond convenience. We settle for what challenges us rather than asking what we are actually capable of, paying our price, and pushing beyond our perceived limits. This is a default life and not what the Impossible Life is all about. A life on default is like a feather floating around and being blown by the wind. It goes wherever luck and chance take it. While everyone is subject...
