On this soul-stirring episode of Raw Tallant Mindset, former law enforcement officer and coach Dave Tallant asks a question most people avoid but everyone needs: Where are you? Not geographically; but mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically.
Drawing from years in the field and wisdom forged through adversity, Dave unpacks the deeper meaning behind the 10-20 radio code used in law enforcement to locate officers in harm’s way; and applies it to everyday life. In a world spiraling in confusion, anxiety, and lack of purpose, your location determines your outcome. Are you headed toward destiny or destruction?
Backed by mental health stats, scripture, and powerful personal stories; including surviving a gunfight; this episode delivers a raw wake-up call: you can’t afford to wander through life as a “general statistic.” It’s time to become a meaningful specific; a man or woman anchored in truth, clarity, purpose, and resilience.
Key Takeaways:
Your Life Has a Location: Your emotional, mental, spiritual, and physical state must be tracked and named; because people can’t help you if they don’t know where you are.
Truth = Direction: Clarity beats chaos. You don’t drift into purpose; you decide it and walk into it.
You’re Not Broken; You’re Unlocated: Most anxiety isn’t about failure, but disorientation. Finding your 10-20 is the first step out of the fog.
Triangulate Your Truth: Use known spiritual, relational, and physical reference points; God’s Word, trusted community, and honest self-inquiry; to locate where you are and where you’re going.
Purpose Is Built, Not Found: Take aligned daily actions toward your future self; and surrender the rest to God.
“You don’t have a production problem—you have a direction problem.” – Dave Tallant
