I'm grateful that my last interview for this podcast is with my sister-in-law, Maribeth Dodd. Maribeth is a leader. She is a business coach of leaders in the corporate world, in network marketing, and leaders in ministry. She shares vulnerability about balancing her work along with all of her other personal responsibilities. And, how sometimes the best place to be is a little bit scared.
Award-winning and best-selling author, Lee Strobel, joins me for one of my final interviews. It is fitting to talk about the end of life at this time, as I want listeners to remember what's most important in your life as you live it. This conversation really impacted me. I hope it impacts you too.

As part of my ongoing exercise in trimming and pruning my life, I spent the last 2 weeks prayerfully thinking about and writing down a Pro's and Con's list of the 18 things that I have been doing for work. That process helped me narrow my work-life down to 5 main areas of focus. And, I balance them with 1 main area of focus personally. I share it all in this 3rd-to-last episode of the Courage Cast before my long 5-mont...

I've gotten so caught up in trimming, that I've forgotten to trim. You heard me right - I take a taste of my own medicine, via my wife. She hands me a doozy that really gets me thinking about the questions that help me to decide whether to trim something or not.
Do I have the TIME for it?
Do I have the TALENT for it?
Do I have the PASSION for it?

"None of us are getting out of here alive. The purpose of life is not to arrive safely at death or accrue the most titles, trophies, and treasures. Live from a death bed perspective.
Be relentless in the pursuit of what sets your soul on fire."
Here's my response to this.
I'm curious, what would you be, do or have if you...

"Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit." - John 15:2
How many of you have clutter in your life? How many of you are frustrated with areas of your life that just don't seem to working for y...
Continuing the conversation about the straight path that God models for us, I discuss Jesus' compassion vs. my convenience.
Inspired by a chapter in the devotional book The Book of Mysteries by Jonathan Cahn.
There are 3 patterns you can follow in your financial life. The pattern of the poor, middle class or rich.
Here's a link to the graphic.
Today, I am going to teach the pattern of the rich as learned from Robert Kiyosaki and Rich Dad, Poor Dad.
Be generous with encouragement. It is verbal sunshine. It costs nothing, it warms hearts and enriches lives. - Nicky Gumble (The Bible in One Year)
1 Thessalonians 5:11 - "Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing."
Two things to remember in life:
- Take care of your thoughts when you are alone.
- Take care of your words when you are with people.
If I had to choose between quantity vs quality, I will always desire quantity. Here's why!
The plan is simple:
- Pay off all BAD debt.
- Build a 3-month emergency fund.
- Open a Roth IRA
- Invest $500 a month (into the SPY - S&P500)
- Keep doing for 40 years.
Start early and this is enough to make you a millionaire.
Assuming a 12% annual return rate compounded over 40 years, this would be worth $4,943,560.
There are two main lakes that are connected by the Jordan River that borders Israel. One is alive and one is dead. I talk about why and how it can inspire you to make your life about something more than yourself!
Inspired by Jonathan Cahn's devotional book, The Book of Mysteries.
