Self-Disqualification May 16, 2016

Show notes

Often times, we don't step into the next season, because we are disqualifying ourselves. Not because we aren't ready, or don't have what it takes, but because we believe we are disqualified. It's time for us to give ourselves more credit, and to step into what we want...and what we are ready to do!

The Poison of Comparison May 09, 2016

Show notes

Comparison is death to our confidence. Regardless of how good we're doing, how many strengths we have, or what we've accomplished...there will always be people that are "ahead" of us. If we keep our eyes on others, we won't ever be able to embrace our own strength and unique qualities.

Highlights from the Show:

Everyone compares themselves to someone.

Sons often compare themselves to fathers.

If I have a relationship with comparison, I will limit myself so that others aren't threatened by my success.

Comparison divorces you from your personal authority.

When you compare with others, you don't have energy to invest in yourself.

When you have a relationship with comparison, it opens the door to envy and fear.

We must separate the comparison version of us from the present version of us.

When we compare ourselves, we can't recognize the benefits from the season we're in.

When you can't embrace your current season, you trap yourself within it.

Comparison opens us up to desperation.

When we exhaust ourselves with comparison, we end up partnering with the "what's the point" monster.

No More Mr. Nice Guy May 02, 2016

Show notes

We all know a "Mr. Nice Guy." Heck, we might even be that guy. But it's true that nice guys finish last. It's time that we identify why we become a "nice guy," and how to get out of the mold...without becoming a jerk. This episode is for all the guys who want to break out of the friend zone (even in marriage), and all the ladies who have been waiting for guys to be powerful and confident.

Porn is a big topic. BIG.

To handle this monster topic, we thought we'd bring in Abi Stumvoll to help us discuss it. This may be our most important episode to date, and you definitely don't want to miss some of the craziness that ensues.

If you've struggled with porn, or have known someone who does...this episode is going to be groundbreaking for you. If you feel comfortable, please share this or send it to someone you care about!

The Transformative Power of Forgiveness Apr 18, 2016

Show notes

Everybody and their brother tells us to forgive. But what the heck does that mean? Why is forgiveness powerful? In this crazy episode, Justin and Blair talk about what it really means to forgive...and why it can change our lives and relationships.

Show notes

We all deal with stress and anxiety. But can we eliminate the majority of our stress and anxiety? Is it necessary? In this episode, Blair and Justin share the main reasons we deal with anxiety, and how to reduce them.
