Believe Conceive Achieve ft. Butch and Julieann Hartman
Ever notice how your eyesight tends to change over time? What was once clear and sharp can get a little cloudy or fuzzy a few years later.
Our lives can be like that as well. When we are young, we might have a clear and definite picture of what we want to do, and what our purpose in life is. Pretty soon, enough expected (and unexpected) changes occur that we are left not knowing what our purpose is. Like a kaleidoscope, the picture tilts and shifts until we can’t recognize the result anymore.
Most people let their ideas die. Don’t be those people! Instead, let someone draw out of you what God has put in you.
You need to be able to move forward with what you have. Jesus didn’t multiply the loaves and fish until he HAD some loaves and fish!

Are you a YES-a-holic? ft. Mimika Cooney
Anyone who loves gardening probably has some choice words about crabgrass. It looks like it’s just in one spot and then reaches across a sidewalk, wraps around a tree and then jumps under your fence to terrorize your neighbors.
What makes it so difficult? The fact that the roots are interconnected, and not necessarily where you think they are.
Just like that crabgrass, our roots are sometimes deeply embedded in the past, and that can - and will - affect our present life more than we realize.
Bad roots will produce bad fruit in our lives, because certain emotions that we feel from the past unfortunately do not have an expiration date! Discover how to pull up the bad roots in this episode with Mimika Cooney.

Breaking the Cycle of Fear ft. Clay Clark
Trust is defined as the “firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability, or strength of someone or something.” Be careful who or what you put your trust in.
We put our trust in basic things of everyday life: our car to get us to work, our friends to shoot straight with us, and our family to love us. It’s time-consuming to check every source, and besides that, it can turn us bitter and cynical.
Better to be positive-minded and trusting, right? Well, mostly right.
The truth is that we forget that other people and organizations might have their own agenda, and we can be filled with misinformation and not even know it. After all, there are only so many hours in the day, and we can’t investigate everything we hear.
That's why Clay Clark joins us in this episode, to arm you with the resources you need to fight against misinformation.

The Mind and Body Connection ft. Lofa Tatupu
It’s not often that you hear a former professional football player say that he is in much better shape NOW than he was in the NFL. That is exactly what Lofa Tatupu, formerly playing for the Seattle Seahawks, IS saying.
In six seasons, he had 10 surgeries and over 15 documented concussions. Playing football is a little rough on the body.
When his father died, it was discovered later that he had both early-onset Parkinson’s, and CTE - (which is essentially chronic head trauma.) His father had also played for many years in the NFL, and that’s when Lofa started to worry about himself more. And for good reason. Whenever he would come out of a concussion, there was short-term memory loss, attention problems, lack of focus and general cognitive deficits. He also had inflammation, sleep apnea, vision issues and a host of other complaints. And this was all in his late 20’s.
When you have a dream and you work for it and live it for years and years and it’s suddenly gone, your heart gets ripped out. It affects everything you are or can be. It causes you to sink into a “funk” or depression. How do you get out of that? Find out in this episode.

Notes to a Younger Me ft. Gary Hensel
If we truly understood that words create, we would choose our words more carefully, to “create” a brighter future for ourselves. We would also surround ourselves with people in our lives who would speak positively and keep us expecting the best.
We can raise our positive energy with the books we read, the shows we watch, etc. And likewise, anytime we have an opportunity to know what our weaknesses are – physically, emotionally or spiritually – we have an opportunity to correct them.
In this episode, Gary Hensel will help you peel back the layers and find out who you really are.

Rewire Your Brain ft. Ron Kardashian
Why is it when we think about change, it’s always with someone else in mind? Wives want their husbands to change and husbands hope their wives WON’T change! We want our children to do better in school, be homecoming queen or captain of the football team.
We have a certain idea or opinion in mind about every person in our lives, but we are the only ones we can change.
Of course, each of us also have blind spots that we are unable to see by ourselves. That’s where - having or building - trusted counsel comes into your life. Friends as well as professionals who will be honest with you and speak into your life.

From “Raw” to “Revved Up!”
“Come as you are” is more than a sign in a restaurant window. It is a beautiful invitation to relax, be yourself and not worry about needing to be overly dressed or formal. Jesus also wants us to relax and be ourselves - although many people think that they cannot be themselves and follow him. We need to remember 1 Samuel 16:7, “man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”
Be encouraged by Brad's story about how a personal relationship with Jesus Christ made all the difference.

Forest Bathing ft. Dr. Suzanne Bartlett Hackenmiller
Ever driven somewhere and had no memory of getting there? Ever been in the middle of a conversation with someone only to realize you have no idea what the person is saying? Those activities (and countless others) are examples of NOT being mindful. Not slowing down to really enjoy the food you are eating, or paying attention to the sights and sounds going on around you.
Now imagine that we are going to take two words that you are already familiar with, and combine them into one term that you probably have never heard of before. Ready? Are you sure? This is pretty different. Okay, here they are. Forest + Bathing. (I tried to warn you.)
First, let me assure you that your clothes stay on. It’s simply a matter of taking all of the relaxation that you get from a bath - “Calgon take me away” - and combine that with the simple pleasure and therapeutic benefits of nature. THAT’s what we’re talking about today.

Hope for Alzheimer’s Disease ft. Dr. David Haase
Alzheimer’s. People hate hearing that word. It triggers us; it makes us afraid. “I don’t want anyone to know, because I don’t want to acknowledge it.” It’s hard to say, it’s hard to spell and it leads us into a downward spiral of depression and hopelessness.
There is hope. We have to be brave enough to see new data, new treatments, and new opportunities. Read on.
Denial is based on fear, but knowledge is power and there IS something we can do about this. It’s called Therapeutic Plasma Exchange, and it is shown to slow moderate cases of Alzheimer’s by 60% over a span of 14 months. This treatment involves the removal of plasma from your blood and the replacement of new, clean plasma. In essence, you take out the bad things and put in the good things.

Core Principles - Zero Compromise
Men: What do you think it takes to consider yourself a “real” man? Money in the bank? A fast car? A woman you can be proud of? Your every need and desire being met? Or does it go deeper? Work you are content or fulfilled in, or a satisfying marriage? Or are you simply too busy to even think about these questions?
When God created Adam, he must have given him at least the potential to be everything that “manhood” entailed. Appropriate love, a way to provide for his family, a sacrificing nature, right leadership and the ability to honor and follow through with his spoken word. Or, if you want a way to sum up these points, Gandhi said, “happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.”

Weighing Your Options for COVID Prevention
As promised, Dr. Mark Sherwood gives us specific information about several news-worthy drugs being currently touted as a cure for COVID. Before you blaze a trail to your nearest pharmacy, he also lists the side effects that come with these medications.

COVID Vaccine Ingredients: Another Piece of the Puzzle
The mRNA vaccines are different because, unlike a flu vaccine, you are NOT given a small amount of the Covid virus. You are given genetic instruction to make unique spike proteins that will hopefully create an antibody. One of the goals of the vaccine is that your body will have a “memory” of what to do and be able to duplicate the process again - if needed.
The desired result in this case needs to be a personal, well-thought-out decision based on YOUR health.

Nitric Oxide and Chronic Disease ft. Dr. Nathan Bryan
You may not know what it is, but Nitric Oxide is your friend.
It is one of the most important molecules in the human body. Not only is it responsible for oxygen delivery, it is also a “signaling molecule”, meaning that it helps convey information back-and-forth between the cells in our body.
Our bodies require a tremendous amount of correct information to be conveyed. This is the basis for our development, as well as playing a very important role in our immune system.
Because of this, loss of Nitric Oxide production is the earliest event in the onset and progression of chronic disease.

Healing Hearts and Wholeness ft. Dr. Barbara Lowe
Despite her many accolades, Dr. Barbara Lowe has “been through” a lot. Parents who did not want her. A life consumed by eating disorders and substance abuse. Relatives in the drug trade who threatened her, and a mother who kicked her out in a drunken rage. Despite such a rough beginning, she went on to help countless people overcome addictions and trauma, and turn their lives around.
"Challenges and scars are what make us human, but with hard work, the right tools, faith, and unconditional love pushing us forward, we can turn our challenges into positive change, and turn our scars into superpowers."

Setback to Comeback! ft. Staci Wallace
Staci Wallace knows first-hand what it feels like to be “unplugged” from the world. She woke up with song lyrics playing over and over in her head: “Will you say yes or will you turn and walk away? Will you say yes to me today?” She realized God was asking this question, and she did “say yes”. She walked away from everything she had built her life on. Not only the material things, but patterns of over-achievement and an addiction to approval.
