Episodes

152: Catching up
So I said in my mind initially that this episode was going to be about Starbucks, but I decided to save that segment in my drafts folder until I learn more. But anyway, I have been doing some other things lately that I want to catch you up on.
-
151: Do the work first!
When you’re striving to create your own opportunities instead of merely waiting for someone to give you an opportunity, there are often extra things you have to do to prove your value in the marketplace.
-
150: Will Facebook swagger jack Anchor?
Anchor could be in trouble if FB decided to get serious. Hope I'm wrong. (Note: I've had this episode sitting in my drafts folder for almost a month. I need to ship a lot quicker and stip waiting for perfection.)
-
149: Why Twitter is still valuable
Twitter is getting the little things right these days, which is why I believe the platform is more useful and valuable than ever.
-
148: A really good leadership podcast
In this episode, I discuss four personal takeaways from this week’s Carey Nieuwhof’s incredible podcast conversation with former Popeye’s CEO, Cheryl Batchelder.
-
147: Devotional & Black Panther
Five minutes. That’s all I had time for today, so I reflected upon the verse of the day and the movie of a lifetime. It was that good. #WakandaForever
-
146: Identifying root causes
One benefit of an extended period of struggle is that you are forced to have a greater perspective about your situation. Prolonged trials cause you to look deeper within and realize that perhaps it’s not your circumstances, or other people, or that opportunity you just didn’t get, or God just not...
-
145: Corny Spirituality...
The way we often try to encourage those who are single or have relationship conflicts on Valentine’s Day is laughable. Sometimes, it’s better to just not say anything and pray in private. I promise you, you’re still saved.
-
144: I’m greatly encouraged!
I’m encouraged—by the feedback I’ve gotten about the #50SocialMediaTips; by the growth potential this fledgling platform; by some of the subtle, under-the-hood improvements to Anchor while I was away; and by how this podcast sounds. Things are not better yet, not by any means, but I am encouraged...
-
143: #CanYouHearMeNow?
Real-time reactions and reflections from my “Can You Hear Me Now?” social media ministry workshop at Ecumenical Theological Seminary over the past weekend. Getting back in the teaching saddle and doing something I haven’t been able to do for a long time was incredible, and I’m so thankful.…

142: I’m back!
It’s been so long...wanted to come back sooner with some new branding and some bonus episodes of content I’ve produced over the past couple months since I’ve been gone, but I haven’t had a chance to do it. But I couldn’t wait any longer until the time was right; I had to move forward now and put...
-
141: Special episode - Consistency

-
140: You need that ONE person
We all need to be encouraged as much as possible, so Romans 8 ought to be required devotional reading every morning, in addition to whatever other scriptures you read. Plus, we all need at least one person we can lean on when we get weak, or else we will die holding everything inside. Even Jesus...

131: Get out of your own head!
You can never go wrong when you seek that which is eternal. Plus, get out of your own head—talk things out (so you won’t be bottled up) and write things down (so you won’t forget what’s important). Sounds basic enough, but the first things we always neglect are the basics. | Podcast ID 2 • Day…
more -
130: All I had time for today
When you start the day’s podcast the NEXT day, like at 12:45am, you only have time to squeeze everything into a single, five-minute, all-in-one segment with the gratefulness, devotional, and commentary (b/c it’s late)...this is what it looks like. Podcast ID 2 • Day 133: Welcome to The Journey! •...

-
127: The art of improvement
The uniform we wear lets people know our affiliation. Love is our uniform to let people know we serve Christ. There’s no more telling characteristic than the love we have for one another. | Podcast ID 2 • Day 130: Welcome to The Journey! • My daily gratefulness 20171109 • YouVersion Bible verse…
more -
126: Shoot better, live better
How we treat people we don’t know speaks volumes of our relationship with Christ. Plus, we discuss how Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond improved the biggest weakness in his game by changing everything in his life. Also, we talk about when happens when your hit a snag on your journey of...
-
125: Halladay dies, Snap falls
Don’t run your mouth, but also don’t run your mouth about people who run theirs. Plus, the tragic death of future Hall of Fame pitcher Roy Halladay reminds us that we must, to the best of our ability, give people their roses while they’re living. Also, we have several takeaways from Snap, Inc’s...
-
124: When motivations change
All scripture is inspired by God is and sufficient for teaching; it’s when we misread and misapply it that we get in trouble. Also, it’s difficult to get started again when your motivations change, but it simply serves as a reminder that your primary motivations must always be intrinsic. - - -...
-
123: TX massacre thoughts soon
I try not to post too much commentary on controversial and/or tragic current events anymore, but I’ve got a LOT to say because the body of Christ has missed the mark yet again with this #TexasChurchMassacre. Just not today. Let me gather my thoughts together so I say it clearly and correctly.
-
122: Introducing “Wingcast”
We’ve got to stay focused on this journey; it’s the only way we’re going to get through all life throws at us. Plus, learning how to lose the right way is the epitome of character.
-
121: A short one today, sorry
Super brief today, sorry. I pray you’re blessed by the gratefulness moment and devotional.
-
120: The comparison trap
Be confident? Yes! But thinking TOO highly of ourselves blocks us from the self awareness we need for change. Plus, why can’t we appreciate Cal Ripken’s and Joe Thomas’ streaks separately and equally?
-
119: Zuckerberg for President?
The weapons of warfare may not be carnal, but its manifestations are. Plus, if Mark Zuckerberg has real presidential aspirations, he’s missed out on a golden opportunity to show leadership in crisis.
-
118: Is this THE moment?
Even before deliverance, God will sometimes remind you you’re still God’s child and God has not forgotten about you. Plus, I’m prepping for a February church comm workshop. Is this finally THE moment?
-
117: Next level thankfulness
People without relationship focus on condemnation avoidance. Those who truly love God know there’s no condemnation. It always takes something catastrophic to remind your to be thankful for the basics.
-
116: Trunk or Treat
Thank God God is with those who are brokenhearted because if not, I don’t know where I’d be today. Plus, the “Trunk or Treat” phenomenon is super recent and an example of how quickly things catch on.
-
115: Self awareness in sports
Discipline never tastes good going down, but once it’s down, it blesses you from the inside out and makes you better. Also, the concept of self awareness is ubiquitous, even in sports scheduling.
-
114: Disney talks homosexuality
The fight of faith is the most difficult fight there is, but it’s the greatest fight you can fight. Plus, Disney handles homosexuality is a super mature way. Controversial? Yes. Much needed? YES.
-
113: 25 Nikes and a Mercedes
Don’t be discouraged about people’s inability to value you because of your age or because of any limitation people place on you. Plus, something GaryVee said today really resonated with me.
-
112: Playoffs. Sleep or stay up?
Position yourself for blessing by sitting under (and following) good teaching. Plus, fall is a difficult season for working sports fans, fraught with tough weeknight decisions. Sleep or stay up?
-
111: Priorities and gaps
God’s manifesting God’s self in the person of Jesus is the greatest love ever shown. What’s the greatest love you’ve ever shown? Plus, I was late in buying emergency water but smart in finding it.
-
110: After 13yrs and 205K...
We fall short of God’s glory daily. Don’t ever think so highly of yourself that you forget that. Plus, I got a new car yesterday. Haven’t processed it enough yet to find the value in it. Just sharing.
-
109: Be honest with yourself
Jesus didn’t have to do it, but he did, and I’m grateful. Plus, I’m disappointed that more of us Michigan fans aren’t being honest about where our team is right now. Realization is step #1 to growth.
-
108: Gentleness is also underrated
Gentleness, like God’s word and God’s peace, is underrated. Also, spend time with those who gas you up and focus only on your strengths—concepts you don’t hear too often but have much merit to them.
-
107: Biz success w/o passion?
Rid yourself of anything that separates you from God, yes, but don’t think you need to have it all together before you come back to God. That’s a fallacy. Plus, your “why” can supersede your passion.
-
106: Showing your battle scars
Sometimes, we have to be willing to reveal our war wounds to put the power of God on display. Plus, this Rick Pitino thing illustrates the importance of—what we talk about all the time—self awareness.
-
105: Life comes at you fast
When we think about Whom we’re doing everything in the name of, it ought to impact everything we do. Plus, Gordon Hayward’s gruesome injury and what happens when your plans change in an instant.
-
104: Affirm yourself first
We’ve already talked about how God’s peace is underrated; so, too, is God’s word. Plus, if you seek affirmation, if you’re starving for positivity, affirm yourself first.
-
103: Focusing on the right things
In good times and in bad, God is still God and still worthy of our praise. Plus, I don’t care about Michigan’s AP ranking. It doesn’t matter. Winners focus on the right things and adjust accordingly.
