Called to Confidence - Personal Development For Kingdom Focused Leaders

In this episode of Called to Confidence, we delve into the powerful topic of shedding the harmful labels others place on us, such as "failure," and how to break free from their grip. Drawing insights from my book, The Girl in the Garage: 3 Steps to Letting Go of Your Past, I share actionable steps to redefine how we see ourselves. We explore how to replace these negative labels with positive, empowering words that reflect our true potential. Join me as we embark on a journey to reclaim our identities and choose words that uplift and inspire us.

I'm a daydream believer...wanna know why? Because daydreams aren't just daydreams, they are snapshots of what God has planned for us. You may think that longing in your soul was from you, but God created you for a divine purpose and wired you different than the other 7 billion people on the planet. He created you for specific things that only you can do the way you do it. Think of a singer - many people can sing, but not just anyone can belt out like Pavarotti or Luke Bryan.

What happens when Kevin Sorbo comes on the show? An amazing candid conversation that is an absolute delight. Kevin rose to fame and became a household name for his roles as Hercules, Captain Dylan Hunter in Andromeda, and Kull in Kull the Conqueror, but in this interview his guy next door - hometown roots and faith shine through. Since leaving the screen as an action hero he has dedicated himself to creating inspirational family movies such as Soul Surfer the story of surfer Bethany Hamilton who lost her arm in a shark attack and faith based movies such as God's Not Dead to name a few. Kevin shared an encounter with a woman he met at ComicCon who had polar opposite beliefs and why Christians need to be more forgiving - and I agree with him! I asked Kevin what's the biggest thing he's learned about himself looking back over his life. His answer surprised me and every creator, artist, leader and entrepreneur needs to hear it. Takeaways from Kevin: His encounter with Rev. Billy Graham Having faith vs. needing faith The assumptions about who he is The cost of not listening to "the voice" Being called out for not being "Christian enough" Coming out Summer 2021 Miracle in East Texas Connect with Kevin at KevinSorbo.net Order his books, True Faith and True Strength Kevin is working on: Climate Hustle 2 Documentary Before The Wrath Against The Tide Connect with Kevin Sorbo here

This is part one of one of the most fascinating and candid conversations I've ever brought to the show. To say Stacy Raske is brave is an understatement. She fought the odds that were stacked against her and she won. Now she helps others break free from the dark side of perfectionism. From hitting rock bottom, drinking, binging and cutting to a healthy, successful author and business coach; this interview reveals what lurks beneath the surface of so many broken hearts. Main takeaways from Stacy: The high achiever vs. the high performer running from the past, avoidance and numbing out being crippled by overthinking having the permission to "feel" paying the price of giving her power away and taking it back. Be sure to listen to Ep. 43 for part 2 of the interview. Connect with Stacy Raske: Stacyraske.com Grab her book from Amazon: Amazon/author/stacyraske

After taking some time away, I felt it was time to break my silence and get back to doing what I do best. Its with deep respect for the losses our country has recently experienced that I share this episode.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you and as always, I wish you every good thing.

Hey friends, grab a coffee and enjoy this conversation...when I hit record, I didn't expect what we fleshed out. Its profound and thought provoking. This episode is In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King JR.'s legacy. I'm honored to have my friend Marcus "Goodie" Goodloe back on the show to discuss his book, Kingmaker, Applying Dr. Martin Luther King JR.'s Leadership Lessons in Working with Athletes and Entertainers. If you've been listening for a while you know I'm absolutely fascinated with leadership development and this interview was beyond my expectations. There's a moment in the show that I asked, "what if we just stopped believing what we believe about other people?" It's such a profound yet simple question. Let's do good, together, all of us and make the world safe for everyone. Key points made by Goodie: The point of influence and the risk it requires Are you waiting to be chosen? What about the good Samaritan? What is your why? Your gifts and talents will make room for you Is your outcome productive? understanding your purpose -what is being said to you?
