Elevate Life Podcast

Growth sounds exciting… until it starts costing you something. In this powerful episode of the Elevate Life Podcast, Eric Spaulding shares a challenging and deeply personal message recorded live from a recent Elevate Life Network Family Gathering. In “Built Through Change,” Eric unpacks the uncomfortable reality of transformation—how real growth often comes through pressure, discipline, consistency, and learning to respond differently when life gets difficult.  As Leaders in Elevate Life Network move deeper into Skill Development, many are experiencing the tension between the life they’ve always known and the future they’re trying to build. This episode explores what it truly takes to change—not just externally through career development, but internally through mindset, habits, ownership, and perseverance. In this episode, Eric discusses: • Why the life you want requires a different version of you • How transformation begins by changing the way you think (Romans 12:2) • Why growth often feels like loss before it feels like progress • The four responses to pressure: avoidance, blame, growth, and ownership • How habits—not motivation—shape your future • Why employers are hiring more than just skills—they’re hiring discipline, reliability, and character • How pressure can reveal and build who you are becoming Blending biblical truth, personal stories, modern life examples, and practical encouragement, Eric challenges listeners to stop waiting until they “feel ready” and start building the habits necessary for lasting transformation. This message is especially for anyone who feels stuck in the middle of change—tired, overwhelmed, uncertain, or struggling to stay consistent. Because as Eric reminds us: “You are not stuck. You are being built.” About Elevate Life Network Elevate Life Network is a faith-based workforce development nonprofit based in Canton, Ohio, helping individuals overcome barriers and build sustainable careers through coaching, accountability, community, and career development.

What if something as simple as kindness could transform your life—and the lives of those around you? In this episode of the Elevate Life Podcast, Eric Spaulding shares a powerful message from a recent Elevate Life Network Family Gathering on the impact of acts of kindness. Blending biblical teaching with modern scientific research, Eric explores how kindness is not just a moral value—but a practical, life-changing force. Drawing from the teachings of Jesus in Gospel of Matthew (Matthew 24), this episode highlights how kindness is deeply rooted in faith and is a reflection of how we are called to live. But beyond scripture, research shows something incredible—kindness has a measurable impact on our mental health, physical wellbeing, and relationships. In this episode, you’ll learn: • How kindness is modeled and encouraged by Christ in Matthew 24 • The science behind kindness and how it benefits the giver, receiver, and even observers • Why acts of kindness can reduce stress, improve mood, and increase overall happiness • How kindness builds stronger teams in the workplace and healthier cultures • Practical ways to incorporate intentional kindness into your daily life Kindness isn’t just a nice idea—it’s a powerful tool for personal growth, leadership development, and community transformation. Whether you’re at work, at home, or in your community, choosing kindness can create a ripple effect that impacts far more people than you realize. At Elevate Life Network, we believe real transformation happens through both personal responsibility and meaningful relationships—and kindness is a key part of that foundation.

On this powerful Palm Sunday message, we explore one of the most pivotal moments in Scripture—Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem—and the tension that still challenges us today.   The crowd welcomed Jesus as King… but for the wrong reasons.   They wanted a Savior who would fix their circumstances. Jesus came as the Savior who would transform their hearts.   In this message, we unpack the difference between the King we want and the King we need, and how that same struggle shows up in our lives today.   Are we following Jesus for what He can do for us… or surrendering to Him as Lord?   This episode challenges you to: Move from expectation to surrender Embrace personal responsibility in your faith Understand the true mission of Jesus beyond comfort and convenience Step boldly into discipleship and life transformation   And if this truly is the greatest story ever told… are we willing to share it?

The question isn’t if change is coming—it’s how you respond when it does.   Recorded live at an Elevate Life Network Family Gathering, this episode explores: The four common responses to change (Denial, Resistance, Exploration, Acceptance) Why resisting change often keeps us stuck How embracing change creates momentum and clarity The role of mindset, resilience, and daily habits in personal growth What it looks like to move confidently into the next phase of life and work   Blending real-life storytelling, modern philosophy, leadership insight, and practical next steps, this episode challenges listeners to stop waiting for the “right moment” and start engaging the process in front of them.   If you’re feeling uncertain, overwhelmed, or standing at a crossroads, this conversation will help you reframe change—not as something to fear, but as an opportunity to grow, reset, and move forward with purpose.   The future belongs to those who prepare for it today.

What separates a faith that is heard from a faith that is truly lived?   In Episode 52, we continue our journey through the book of James with Part 2 of the opening sermon, focusing on two of the most practical and challenging teachings in the New Testament: being doers of the Word and living without favoritism.   James confronts the gap between belief and obedience, reminding us that spiritual maturity is revealed not by what we know, but by how we live. This message calls believers to examine whether their faith is producing real action and whether their lives reflect the heart of Christ in how they treat others.   In this episode, we cover: The difference between hearing God’s Word and doing it Why obedience—not information—is the mark of mature faith How spiritual self-deception keeps believers stuck What “true religion” looks like in everyday life Why favoritism contradicts the gospel How the church is called to reflect Kingdom values, not cultural standards   This episode is a direct, challenging call to action, urging believers to move beyond comfortable Christianity and live a faith that is visible, obedient, and rooted in love.   🎧 This is Part 2 of Sermon 1 in the James series. Together with Episode 51, this message lays the foundation for understanding what authentic, living faith looks like.   Key Scripture: James 1:19–27; James 2:1–13 Series: James – Faith That Lives  

What does real faith look like when life gets hard?   In Episode 51, we begin a new sermon series through the book of James with Part 1, focusing on the first two foundational lessons James teaches believers living under pressure—lessons that are just as relevant today as they were in the early church.   James challenges us to move beyond comfortable Christianity and step into a faith that is tested, refined, and lived out daily.   In this episode, we explore: How trials produce perseverance and spiritual maturity Why James tells believers to consider trials joy The difference between God testing our faith and temptation pulling us away How unchecked desires lead to spiritual drift What holiness looks like in everyday, real-life situations How to prepare your heart and faith for the year ahead   This message is both encouraging and confrontational, calling believers to examine how they respond to hardship and temptation—and how those responses reveal the depth of their faith.   Whether you’re a long-time believer, new to faith, or entering a new season of life, this episode will help you build a faith that endures trials and resists temptation.   🎧 This is Part 1 of the James sermon series. Be sure to listen as we continue unpacking what it means to live a faith that is alive, obedient, and mature.   Key Scripture: James 1:1–18 Series: James – Faith That Lives

Travis goes beyond the idea of the nuclear family to reveal a deeper truth: God is our Father, and His model for family extends into how believers care for one another and live together as the body of Christ.   Listeners will be challenged to rethink family as more than shared bloodlines—seeing it instead as a spiritual calling marked by love, responsibility, discipline, grace, and mutual care.

What do you do when God calls you forward—but doesn’t show you the full path? When the future is unclear, and comfort is calling you back, it takes real faith to keep moving.   In Episode 29 of Faith Momentum, host Eric Spaulding explores what it means to obey God when you can’t see the outcome. Using the story of Abraham’s journey (Genesis 12) and Jesus’ command to “follow Me,” this episode breaks down how trusting God’s timing requires surrender, not strategy.   This isn’t about reckless decisions.

Abraham’s Call (Genesis 12:1–4): God told Abraham to go without telling him exactly where. That same call still challenges us today. Faith = Obedience Before Answers: Obedience often precedes understanding. God reveals more as you walk, not while you wait. Timing is God’s, Obedience is Yours: Don’t wait until you feel “ready” Trust God’s silence doesn’t mean absence Don’t confuse fear with wisdom Practical Takeaways: Take one next step—today Build habits of surrender: prayer, journaling, Scripture meditation Surround yourself with people who challenge your comfort zones Final Word: God doesn’t need you to know the whole plan. He just needs your “yes.”

In a culture that thrives on division, isolation, and self-interest, true brotherhood is becoming rare—even in the church. But the Bible paints a different picture: one of uncommon unity built on Christ, forged through accountability, service, and shared mission.   In Episode 28 of Faith Momentum, host Eric Spaulding unpacks what it means to build deep, spiritual brotherhood rooted in Scripture—not just surface-level friendship. Pulling from the early church in Acts 2 and Jesus’ own call to love one another as brothers, Eric explores how men today can rise above cultural norms and build lasting, God-honoring relationships that sharpen and strengthen.   You’ll discover: Why isolation is dangerous for your spiritual life How biblical brotherhood creates strength, maturity, and accountability What real unity looks like in a divided world The four pillars of Christ-centered relationships How to start building brotherhood today—even if you’ve never had it before   Whether you’re craving deeper connection or trying to lead others in faith, this episode gives you a blueprint for building strong bonds that last.   Length: ~28 minutes Release Schedule: New episodes every Tuesday Keywords: Christian brotherhood, biblical unity, spiritual community, men’s ministry, accountability, Acts 2, unity in Christ, discipleship 🔑 Episode Summary – Key Points Highlighted The Isolation Epidemic: Most men walk alone spiritually, leading to burnout, temptation, and apathy. Brotherhood is the antidote. Biblical Blueprint: Acts 2:42–47 and John 13:35 show that love, unity, and shared mission were foundational in the early church. The Four Pillars of Brotherhood: Authenticity – No masks, no games Accountability – Loving correction and encouragement Shared Growth – Praying, serving, and studying together Purpose – Advancing the Kingdom shoulder to shoulder Building It Starts With You: Be the initiator. Don’t wait for community—build it. Find one man to pray with this week. Be vulnerable. Brotherhood is forged in shared struggle. The Big Takeaway: Unity isn’t built on common interests—it’s built on a common Savior. Brotherhood in Christ is uncommon because it’s built on truth, sacrifice, and love.

When did we start treating faith like a private thing? In today’s world, staying silent often feels safer than standing firm. But Scripture never called us to a quiet faith—it calls us to courage.   In Episode 27 of Faith Momentum, host Eric Spaulding dives deep into what it means to live boldly as a follower of Jesus, even when it’s uncomfortable.

The Model: The early church, especially in Acts 4, shows what Spirit-empowered boldness looks like in action. The Challenge: You’re not called to blend in. You’re called to represent Christ—boldly and lovingly. The Practical Steps: Ask God for courage and clarity. Start with one conversation—one stand for truth.
