Truly a Masterpiece Podcast

Truly a Masterpiece podcast is based on the Scripture that teaches, you are God's unique work of art, his masterpiece. This podcast is for those who are tired of wasting their potential and putting their dreams on hold while they struggle with the paralysis of self-doubt. My name is Craig, I'm your host.  In 2014 I won the war over self-doubt. Looking back I can't believe how easy the war was to win. In each episode, you'll meet others who have won the war over self-doubt. They will share the dark side of doubt and how they overcame that "not enough" feeling to live the life they were born to love.

    Can Your Desires Reveal God's Will? | Episode #068

    Send us Fan MailChristians are often taught to distrust their desires. But when your life is surrendered to God, your desires can become some of the strongest clues to His will and calling. They are not conclusive proof—but neither are they merely selfish impulses you should bury or ignore.In this episode, Craig explains how to:• Surrender your desires without denying them• Recognize how God shapes the desires of a surrendered heart• Bring what you want honestly before God• Align your personal desires with God’s purposes• Step out in faith without requiring a successful outcomeYou’ll hear how Craig’s love for horses became connected with an opportunity to fulfill his calling—and why surrender should never be confused with always choosing the safest path.Your surrendered desires may be more than things God allows you to enjoy. They may be some of the strongest clues to His will and calling for your life.Scriptures referenced: Psalm 37:4; Philippians 2:13; Ephesians 2:10; Matthew 14:28–29; Romans 6:13.Time Stamps00:00 Introduction01:00 Is It Right for Me?01:08 Reviewing the Previous Episode01:39 Surrender Your Desires to God0212 Can Your Desires Point You to God’s Will?02:42 God Works Through Surrendered Desires03:36 You Are God’s Masterpiece04:18 Peter Steps Out of the Boat 05:00 Don’t Confuse Surrender With Safety05:58 A Prayer of Surrender06:31 Align Your Desires With God’s Purposes06:58 All Christians Have A Shared Calling07:13 When Personal Desire and Calling Come Together08:56 Surrender Does Not Guarantee Success09:45 What Desire Keeps Returning?Connect with Craig @CraigWalkerCaochingFree eBook: 5 Lies Christian Men Believe That Keep Them Stuck  https://craigwalkercoaching.com/5liesConnect with Craig  @CraigWalkerCaochingFacebook:  https://www.facebook.com/craigwalkercoachingInstagram:  https://www.instagram.com/craigwalkercoachingLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/craig-walker-1816367/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@craig.walker.coachYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@craigwalker9197Get a copy of Craig's Book SHAMELESS The Life You Were Born to Love https://amzn.to/44vldsQSign up for the Safe Husband Three-Day Free Workshop: Secure Men Make Safe Homes https://craigwalkercoaching.com/resourcesJoin the Masterpiece Brotherhood Men's Group: https://craigwalkercoaching.com/brotherhood

    When Enjoying What You Love Feels Wrong | Episode #067

    Send us Fan MailDo you ever feel guilty for doing something you love—even though there is nothing sinful about it?Many Christians divide life into two categories: spiritual things that honor God and ordinary things that seem less important. That can leave us feeling guilty about enjoying things like hunting, fishing, golf, horses, working out, family activities, or anything that doesn’t appear on the spiritual list.But God is not glorified when you feel guilty for enjoying a gift He gave you. He is glorified when you receive it with gratitude and enjoy it with Him.In this episode, Craig explains how to:• Stop dividing life into sacred and secular• Distinguish genuine conviction from false guilt• Let God’s Word—not feelings or tradition—determine what is right• Receive God’s good gifts with prayer and thanksgivingYou’ll discover how unnecessary guilt can make you suspicious of God’s goodness—and how truth can set you free to enjoy His gifts with a clear conscience.Scripture referenced: 1 Timothy 4:4–5; Genesis 3:1–5; 2 Samuel 6:14; John 8:32.Time stamps01:12 Why enjoying what you love feels wrong03:08 Stop compartmentalizing04:38 Receive it with thanks05:32 The problem06:02 Learn the truth07:01 The lie07:30 Confusing false guilt with holiness07:58 God’s word is the standard08:57 A strong caution09:21 The truth sets you free10:05 The central truth10:14 What’s coming next weekConnect with Craig @CraigWalkerCaochingFree eBook: 5 Lies Christian Men Believe That Keep Them Stuck  https://craigwalkercoaching.com/5liesConnect with Craig  @CraigWalkerCaochingFacebook:  https://www.facebook.com/craigwalkercoachingInstagram:  https://www.instagram.com/craigwalkercoachingLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/craig-walker-1816367/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@craig.walker.coachYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@craigwalker9197Get a copy of Craig's Book SHAMELESS The Life You Were Born to Love https://amzn.to/44vldsQSign up for the Safe Husband Three-Day Free Workshop: Secure Men Make Safe Homes https://craigwalkercoaching.com/resourcesJoin the Masterpiece Brotherhood Men's Group: https://craigwalkercoaching.com/brotherhood

But no human being can give your soul the life it was created to receive from Christ.In this episode, Craig explains why human connection must be kept in its proper place, how misplaced dependence burdens our relationships, and what it means to abide in Christ as the true source of our identity, security, and life.You were created to live in relationship with people—but you were created to draw life from Christ.Time Stamp00:00 Something Is Missing01:36 Putting Community in Its Proper Place02:01 Identifying the Hunger Beneath the Hunger04:05 Jesus Is the Door and the Vine04:55 When Dependence Becomes Misplaced06:07 What Abiding in Christ Looks Like06:48 Receive People as Gifts, Not Your Source08:02 Conclusion and InvitationConnect with Craig @CraigWalkerCaochingFree eBook: 5 Lies Christian Men Believe That Keep Them Stuck  https://craigwalkercoaching.com/5liesConnect with Craig  @CraigWalkerCaochingFacebook:  https://www.facebook.com/craigwalkercoachingInstagram:  https://www.instagram.com/craigwalkercoachingLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/craig-walker-1816367/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@craig.walker.coachYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@craigwalker9197Get a copy of Craig's Book SHAMELESS The Life You Were Born to Love https://amzn.to/44vldsQSign up for the Safe Husband Three-Day Free Workshop: Secure Men Make Safe Homes https://craigwalkercoaching.com/resourcesJoin the Masterpiece Brotherhood Men's Group: https://craigwalkercoaching.com/brotherhood

    Shame: The Silent Killer | Episode #065

    Send us Fan MailYou can have high blood pressure and not know it. That’s why it’s called the “silent killer.”Shame works much the same way.You may not think you struggle with shame. But if you battle insecurity, self-doubt, comparison, defensiveness, perfectionism, fear of failure, or the constant need to prove yourself, the signs may already be there.In this episode of Truly a Masterpiece, Craig shares the story of discovering he had high blood pressure—and why his initial denial taught him something important about shame.You’ll discover why shame isn’t a sign of weakness, why even successful and accomplished men struggle with it, and why you can’t outperform your way to freedom.You can’t overcome shame by proving you are enough. Freedom begins when you stop trying to prove yourself and begin trusting what God says is true.Craig closes the episode by leading you in a simple prayer of confession to help you take the first step out of denial and toward freedom.Time Stamps0:00 The diagnosis I didn’t believe2:21 What is shame?3:23 The numbers on the cuff3:50  Shame doesn’t mean you are weak4:27 You can’t outperform shame6:14 You inherited something, too7:11 Shame wants you to believe you’re the only one who struggles with this8:14 Shame: The silent killer9:19 Taking the first step toward freedomConnect with Craig @CraigWalkerCaochingFree eBook: 5 Lies Christian Men Believe That Keep Them Stuck  https://craigwalkercoaching.com/5liesConnect with Craig  @CraigWalkerCaochingFacebook:  https://www.facebook.com/craigwalkercoachingInstagram:  https://www.instagram.com/craigwalkercoachingLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/craig-walker-1816367/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@craig.walker.coachYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@craigwalker9197Get a copy of Craig's Book SHAMELESS The Life You Were Born to Love https://amzn.to/44vldsQSign up for the Safe Husband Three-Day Free Workshop: Secure Men Make Safe Homes https://craigwalkercoaching.com/resourcesJoin the Masterpiece Brotherhood Men's Group: https://craigwalkercoaching.com/brotherhood

    Practice Doesn't Make Perfect | Episode #064

    Send us Fan MailPractice Doesn't Make PerfectYou've probably heard the saying, "Practice makes perfect." It sounds right... but what if it's wrong?The truth is, practice doesn't make perfect—it makes permanent. If you're practicing fear instead of faith, worry instead of trust, or control instead of surrender, those habits become your default way of living.In this episode, Craig explores one of the most powerful stories in the Gospels—the father who cried out to Jesus, "I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!" (Mark 9:24). Along the way, you'll discover why so many Christians remain frustrated in their spiritual walk, not because they don't believe in God, but because there are still areas where they struggle to believe God.You'll discover:Why we've normalized doubt without realizing itThe question hiding behind every fearWhy practice doesn't produce perfection—it produces permanenceThree biblical practices that will help you replace doubt with lasting faithHow to make trusting God your new default response to life's challengesYou don't have to know what God will do to know how God will respond.If you're tired of living with fear, frustration, or uncertainty, this episode will help you begin practicing something different.Scripture: Mark 9:14–29, Hebrews 11:6, James 1:6–8, Romans 8:28–29, Psalm 13Time Stamps0:00 Practice Doesn’t Make Perfect01:18 The Horse That Taught Me a Powerful Lesson 02:08 Every Day You're Practicing Something 04:11 The Father's Question: "If You Can..." 04:42 Have We Normalized Doubt? 05:46 Doubt Doesn't Mean You Don't Believe in God 06:37 The Question Behind Every Fear 07:17 Three Practices That Build Unshakable Faith 07:19 #1 – Practice Confession 08:16 You Don't Have to Know What God Will Do 09:04 #2 – Practice Declaration 10:56 David's Secret to Lasting Peace (Psalm 13) 12:40 #3 – Practice Demonstration 13:57 My Battle with Fear and Debate 15:51 Practice Believing God 16:00 Final Challenge: What Are You Practicing?Connect with Craig @CraigWalkerCaochingFree eBook: 5 Lies Christian Men Believe That Keep Them Stuck  https://craigwalkercoaching.com/5liesConnect with Craig  @CraigWalkerCaochingFacebook:  https://www.facebook.com/craigwalkercoachingInstagram:  https://www.instagram.com/craigwalkercoachingLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/craig-walker-1816367/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@craig.walker.coachYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@craigwalker9197Get a copy of Craig's Book SHAMELESS The Life You Were Born to Love https://amzn.to/44vldsQSign up for the Safe Husband Three-Day Free Workshop: Secure Men Make Safe Homes https://craigwalkercoaching.com/resourcesJoin the Masterpiece Brotherhood Men's Group: https://craigwalkercoaching.com/brotherhood

    My Greatest Blessings Began with 'No' | Episode #063

    Send us Fan MailWhat if the thing you're resisting today is the very thing you'll thank God for tomorrow?Most of us assume we know what will make us happy. We avoid anything that feels like loss, discomfort, or surrender. But what if God's greatest blessings are often hidden behind the word "no"?In this deeply personal episode, I share how every defining blessing in my life began with something I didn't want to do—from trusting Christ, to learning how to love my wife God's way, to leaving a successful career, planting churches, and stepping into the ministry God had prepared for me.You'll discover:Why we naturally resist God's leading.How obedience often feels like loss before it becomes blessing.Why surrender isn't the end of your dreams—it's often where God's greater story begins.How Proverbs 3:5-6 has shaped every major decision of my life.If you're facing a difficult decision, grieving an unexpected change, or struggling to trust God's direction, this episode will encourage you to stop leaning on your own understanding and start trusting the One who sees what you cannot.Key Scripture: Proverbs 3:5-6Question to consider: What are you resisting today that God may use to become one of your greatest blessings tomorrow?If this episode encouraged you, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who needs the courage to trust God with their next step.Free Resource: If you're ready to build a stronger marriage by becoming more secure in Christ, join me for the Safe Husband Workshop.

    The Marriage Lesson I Wish I Had Learned 50 Years Ago | Episode #062

    Send us Fan MailAfter more than 50 years of marriage, after 36 years of counseling couples as a pastor, and studying the Bible, I've come to believe something I never would have believed as a young husband.A wife's greatest need isn't anything I would have imagined: her deepest longing is to feel safe.In this episode, I share the two marriage lessons I wish someone had taught me before Debbie and I got married. They changed not only our marriage, but my understanding of God, myself, and what it truly means to love another person.I'll share the story of the man God used to lead me to Christ, why I once questioned the Bible's teaching on sacrificial love, and how overcoming shame and self-doubt transformed the way I relate to my wife.If you've ever wanted a stronger marriage, don't start by asking how to change your spouse. Start by asking what kind of person God is inviting you to become.In this episode, you'll learn:• Why emotional safety is one of the greatest gifts a husband can give his wife.• How insecurity quietly affects every marriage.• Why your spouse can never provide the security only Christ can give.• How resting in God's love frees you to love sacrificially.My prayer is that this conversation helps you become a husband, father, and leader who reflects the love of Christ.If you'd like to take the next step, download my free eBook, Five Lies Christian Men Believe That Keep Them Stuck, or reach out to learn more about coaching.Time Stamps:00:00 – What I wish I'd known before getting married00:51 – The man God used to change my life01:32 – The Bible verse I didn't want to believe (Ephesians 5:25)03:08 – What it really means to make your wife feel safe05:08 – The second lesson: becoming secure in Christ05:29 – Why insecurity damages every relationship06:12 – The marriage I almost missed07:00 – Final encouragement and next stepsConnect with Craig @CraigWalkerCaochingFree eBook: 5 Lies Christian Men Believe That Keep Them Stuck  https://craigwalkercoaching.com/5liesConnect with Craig  @CraigWalkerCaochingFacebook:  https://www.facebook.com/craigwalkercoachingInstagram:  https://www.instagram.com/craigwalkercoachingLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/craig-walker-1816367/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@craig.walker.coachYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@craigwalker9197Get a copy of Craig's Book SHAMELESS The Life You Were Born to Love https://amzn.to/44vldsQSign up for the Safe Husband Three-Day Free Workshop: Secure Men Make Safe Homes https://craigwalkercoaching.com/resourcesJoin the Masterpiece Brotherhood Men's Group: https://craigwalkercoaching.com/brotherhood

    Why Do Good and Talented Men Bury Their Talent | Episode #060

    Send us Fan MailMost people know comparison is wrong.So why do we keep doing it?Because comparison isn't the problem. It's the symptom.In this episode, Craig uncovers the hidden reason good and talented men bury their gifts, avoid opportunities, and settle for less than God created them to become.Craig shares a deeply personal story of how comparison caused him to hide his own talent—even skipping the message at two of his children's weddings because he believed what he prepared wasn't worth hearing.But the real problem wasn't comparison.It was the assumptions he'd stopped questioning.If you've ever struggled with fear, perfectionism, procrastination, people-pleasing, or the feeling that you're simply not enough, this episode will help you discover what's happening beneath the surface—and how God's truth sets you free.In this episode you'll discover: Why comparison is a symptom, not the real problem.  The hidden assumptions that give shame its power.  Why fear causes good and talented people to bury their gifts.  The difference between living by comparison and living by revelation.  How to identify the assumptions that have been shaping your life.  Why God never asked you to become a five-talent servant—only a faithful one. Key Quote"The greatest lies are the assumptions you've stopped questioning."Scriptures Matthew 25:14–30 – The Parable of the Talents  Ephesians 2:10  2 Corinthians 10:12 If this episode encouraged you, share it with someone who needs to hear it.If you're ready to overcome shame and self-doubt so you can become the husband, father, and leader God created you to be, I'd love to help.Time Stamps0:00 There is a hidden reason that keeps good and talented men from succeeding0:58 Why comparison has so much power1:20 Comparison caused me to hide my talent, and I wasn't even aware I was doing it1:28 My embarrassing story2:27 It wasn't that I thought I wasn't a good speaker.

    You've Got Talent | Episode #059

    Send us Fan MailIn this episode of the Truly a Masterpiece Podcast, Craig explores one of Jesus' most challenging and encouraging teachings: the Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25:14-30).Many people assume this parable is primarily about abilities, skills, or financial stewardship. While those ideas are certainly present, Jesus is revealing something much deeper.The parable exposes how comparison fuels fear, how fear leads to inaction, and how a distorted view of God can keep us from doing what He created us to do.Craig explains why the third servant's greatest problem wasn't a lack of talent—it was a lack of trust.In this episode, you'll learn: Why God gives different assignments to different people  The danger of comparing your gifts to someone else's  How fear causes people to bury opportunities  Why faithfulness matters more than results  What it means to invest your life for the Master  How to overcome self-doubt and take the next step of faith If you've ever felt inadequate, overlooked, or tempted to sit on the sidelines because you believe someone else is more gifted than you, this episode will encourage you.God doesn't expect you to be someone else.He simply asks you to faithfully invest what He has entrusted to you.Because the goal isn't to become a five-talent servant.The goal is to become a faithful servant.Time Stamps:0:16 The fear that you are not enough is one of the greatest obstacles to becoming all God created you to be0:28 What you'll get in this talk: An identity that removes frustration and restores hope1:29 A powerful picture of what fear will do to you and what a true identity will do for you.2:12 Three servants: Two faithful and one fearful3:21 Four insights about fear3:24 Fear will rob you of your potential3:53 Fear is fueled by comparison4:48 Comparison caused one servant to focus not on the talent he had, but on what others had5:25 Comparison is the act of asking another person's life to answer questions only God can answer5:58 Comparison doesn't create confidence.

    Don't Let Resentment Ruin a Relationship | Episode #056

    Send us Fan MailResentment can quietly destroy a relationship—even when love is still present.In this episode, Craig explores why resentment is often much deeper than the situation that triggered it. Beneath irritation, tension, and emotional withdrawal is usually something unresolved in the heart: insecurity, fear, disappointment, unbelief, or an identity wound.Through the story of “John and Angela,” Craig shows why trying harder to “not feel or act resentful” doesn’t work—and how true freedom comes through honesty, trust in God, renewing the mind, and discovering the truth that sets you free.This is not just a conversation about relationships.It’s a conversation about identity, freedom, peace, joy, and learning to trust God with the deeper places of your heart.In this episode:• Why resentment is an identity issue• Why suppressing resentment never heals it• The difference between confessing the symptom and confessing the root• How resentment often exposes deeper unmet needs and beliefsYou don't have to sacrifice freedom, peace, and joy on the altar of love.Time stamps1:00 Don't let resentment ruin your relationship1:29 What most people do1:44 John and Angela2:42 Show sacrificial love or learn to live with resentment?4:00 There is a better way.4:15 Stop trying to hide the resentment4:43 Admit that your resentment isn't sacrificial love4:58 Honesty is what it feels like when healing begins5:01 Confess the root and not just the symptom5:34 Resentment isn't the root.

    Taking the Confusion Out of What It Means and Doesn't Mean to Get Saved | #053

    Send us Fan Mailf you’ve ever thought, “Why does the Christian life still feel like such a struggle?”—this episode is for you.A lot of Christians are confused about what actually happened when they got saved. We hear phrases like “brand-new creation” and assume that means the battle with the flesh should disappear completely. But when temptation, fear, insecurity, and struggle remain, many people quietly begin to wonder: “Maybe this works for everybody else…just not for me.”In this episode, Craig helps remove the confusion surrounding salvation by unpacking the difference between the flesh, the soul, and the spirit—and why understanding that difference changes everything.You’ll learn: • What did—and did not—happen when you were born again • Why the flesh and Spirit war against each other • What it really means to be “made new” in Christ • Why spiritual things can feel difficult to trust • How your spirit now communes with God’s Spirit • Why walking by faith brings life and peaceThis conversation brings clarity to Galatians 5, and Romans 8 and the inner battle every believer experiences.If you’ve been frustrated in your walk with God, this episode may help you finally understand why—and show you how to move forward with greater confidence, peace, and freedom.Time stamp01:10 Why so many Christians feel confused after getting saved01:55 What salvation does not mean02:22 Understanding the flesh, soul, and spirit03:38 The night vision illustration04:49 What it really means to be saved05:36 Why you must be born again06:42 Pulling it all together06:54 The battle between the flesh and the spirit07:26 Why the battle always comes back to faith Connect with Craig @CraigWalkerCaochingFree eBook: 5 Lies Christian Men Believe That Keep Them Stuck  https://craigwalkercoaching.com/5liesConnect with Craig  @CraigWalkerCaochingFacebook:  https://www.facebook.com/craigwalkercoachingInstagram:  https://www.instagram.com/craigwalkercoachingLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/craig-walker-1816367/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@craig.walker.coachYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@craigwalker9197Get a copy of Craig's Book SHAMELESS The Life You Were Born to Love https://amzn.to/44vldsQSign up for the Safe Husband Three-Day Free Workshop: Secure Men Make Safe Homes https://craigwalkercoaching.com/resourcesJoin the Masterpiece Brotherhood Men's Group: https://craigwalkercoaching.com/brotherhood

I am your host, and today I have the luxury of being here with one of my children, my son, my oldest son, and his name is Jeremy Walker. Jeremy, thank you for being with us today. You have some exciting things going on in your life. I'll let Jeremy tell you a little bit about himself, pretty much what he's doing right now. He was a worship leader when I was a pastor, when I was a church playing pastor for most of those years. He was the worship leader for our church, and we enjoyed him tremendously.

ABOUT THIS SHOW

Truly a Masterpiece podcast is based on the Scripture that teaches, you are God's unique work of art, his masterpiece.

My name is Craig, I'm your host.  In 2014 I won the war over self-doubt. Looking back I can't believe how easy the war was to win. In each episode, you'll meet others who have won the war over self-doubt. They will share the dark side of doubt and how they overcame that "not enough" feeling to live the life they were born to love.
