Episode 13: Don't Get Hung Up on the "Hows" - Todd and Wendie Talk Goal-Setting and Going With the Flow In the New Year!

As we bid farewell to what has arguably been the most unusual calendar year in human history, Todd and Wendie share some insights and guidance on how to set "SMART" goals moving forward. Goals can be a blessing in that they keep us on target and accountable.

If we become obsessed with setting and ke...

Episode 10: Born Again in the Eyes of God (And the Government). How Robert Borelli Went from Mafia Henchman to Full-Blown Jesus Freak

It all started with a bucket of steam. When Robert Borelli was a wee lad, the “associates” in the local crime family told him to walk into the nearby store and order a bucket of steam.

It turns out Robert was willing to do quite a bit when ordered to do so. So much so that by the age of 20, he was granted aud...

Your biggest breakthrough is often a process, and on occasion it's an event. We expect it to happen in dramatic fashion. Perhaps we even wish it would happen that way.

We often expect a clap of thunder and lightning, a miracle of biblical proportions to occur in our lives. And of course it's always possible for God to intervene in that way. But more ofte...
