    Ep. 27 Dale Wallace: An Ai Model You Can Trust

    🚨 Before you listen—go download Ask LYTE in the App Store. If you’ve ever wished you had a place to process questions, decisions, and ideas through a biblical lens—this is it. It’s AI built with a foundation of truth, designed to help you think clearly and discern wisely. Don’t just listen to this conversation—experience it for yourself. Download Ask LYTE today.—AI isn’t going anywhere—but the way you use it will shape the way you think, lead, and live.In this episode, we sit down with Dale Wallace, co-founder of Ask LYTE, to unpack what it actually looks like to use AI in a healthy, grounded way—without losing your voice, your convictions, or your dependence on God.There’s a lot of noise right now: fear that AI will replace us, blind trust that it should guide us, and confusion about where the line is. We cut through all of that.We talk about:Why most people are using AI in a way that slowly erodes discernmentThe difference between outsourcing thinking vs. sharpening itHow fear and over-reliance both lead to the same problemWhat it means to keep truth as your foundation in an algorithm-driven worldA practical framework for using AI as a tool—not a masterThis isn’t about rejecting AI.

    Ep. 26 When "Child of God" Falls Short As An Identity

    Most people stop at “child of God” when defining who they are. The problem? That’s not a full identity—and it might be holding you back.In this episode, we break down the difference between a label and a lived identity, and why that gap matters for your performance, leadership, and decision-making.If you’ve ever felt like something is missing in how you show up—your confidence, your purpose, your impact—this might be why.In this episode, we challenge a common assumption and explore what’s missing. Your identity isn’t just a name—it’s a source.

    Ep. 25 How to Build a Vision You Actually Care About

    What if the reason you feel stuck…isn’t a lack of discipline—but a lack of clarity?In this episode, we break down what a real vision actually is—and why most people are chasing something that was never specific, meaningful, or measurable enough to bring to life.For years, I chased a vision of signing a $1M pro basketball contract. That vision shaped my decisions, my discipline, and my identity for two decades. But looking back, I can see how different things could have been if I had the tools we’re walking through today.Inside this episode, we give you 3 indicators your vision isn’t just good—it’s right:It’s thrilling and meaningful (it actually moves you)It’s specific (not just what you don’t want)It’s measurable (so you can track and refine it)You’ll hear real stories from high-performing clients—from a business owner chasing money to a coach trying to build a better culture—and how asking better questions helped them uncover what they actually wanted at the root.

    Ep. 24 How To Reinterpret Core Memories

    Most of us carry a story about who we are—often one we never chose. In this episode, Tate shares a deeply personal moment from his childhood that convinced him he wasn’t intelligent. For years, that belief shaped how he saw himself, how he performed, and what he thought was possible. But the truth didn’t come out until decades later, when a simple IQ test confirmed the lie he’d been living under. This episode is about reinterpreting core memories, breaking false identities, and discovering the freedom that comes when you stop believing lies about your story.

    Ep. 18 The Beauty of the Intuitive Mind

    In this episode, we explore something deep, quiet, and often overlooked: the intuitive mind. It's the part of you that already knows—without needing to explain how. We unpack the difference between the rational and intuitive mind, why we often let the wrong one lead, and how to reconnect with the quiet confidence that comes when your intuition is in the driver’s seat.This isn’t about abandoning logic—it’s about remembering that your worth, identity, and peace don’t come from performance. They come from presence.If you’ve ever felt stuck in your head, always needing a plan, or wondering why even your success feels empty—this one’s for you.

    Ep. 16 Storytime: What We Don't Usually Share

    In this episode, we tell two stories we’ll never forget. One about Cam stepping into something silly—but scary—that he’s avoided for years. The other about a woman who held fear inside for over five decades… until one moment of honesty changed everything.

    Ep. 14 It’s Simpler Than You Think: Fear out, Identity In

    In this episode of The Freedom Lab, we strip it all down — no hype, no fluff. Just the simple, powerful process at the heart of every transformation: naming your fear and receiving your true identity. You don’t have to overthink it. You don’t have to fix yourself. This is not a self-help formula — it’s a freedom invitation.We’ll walk through why this process works, how it’s changed our lives and others', and what it looks like to actually step into it. If you’ve been feeling stuck, heavy, or unsure of who you really are, this episode is your reminder: It’s simpler than you think. And you’re not alone.Verse Cam is referencing: - Jeremiah 17:7“Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose trust is the Lord.”- Proverbs 3:5-6“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.”

    Ep. 13 The Gift of Identity: Why You Can’t Earn It

    So many of us are trying to earn our identity instead of receiving it. In this episode, we unpack the transformative process of discovering who you truly are — not by striving, but by surrendering. At The Freedom Lab, we call this the moment where fear loses its grip and freedom takes root. You’ll learn why your true identity isn’t something you achieve, it’s something you receive — often in community, in truth, and in stillness. We’ll guide you through the key steps, share personal stories, and help you move from false labels and fear-driven roles into the God-given identity that’s been waiting for you all along.

    Ep. 12 Breaking the Cycle: A Reset for the Anxious Heart

    In this episode of The Freedom Lab, we dive deep into the moments when fear, anxiety, and false identities take the wheel — and how to reset when they do.

It’s not just about coping — it’s about reconnecting with who you are and choosing a better way forward.

    Ep. 11 Naming what is hidden: The 3 layers of fear

    Fear isn’t just one thing—it’s layered, like armor we’ve put on to survive. In this episode, we explore the three key layers of fear that often go unnamed: surface fear (what we say we’re afraid of), gateway fear (the belief that protects us from deeper pain), and core fear (the fear that touches our identity). We break down each layer, how they show up in our lives, and how to begin moving through them—so you can stop managing fear and start walking in freedom.Perfect for anyone ready to dig deeper, name what’s really holding them back, and take the first bold step toward wholeness.

    Ep. 10 Competing Free (Part 2): The Flow State

    What does it look like to perform without pressure, move without fear, and live fully in the moment? In Part 2 of our Competing Free series, we dive deep into the flow state — the space where identity, presence, and purpose collide.Tate and Cam unpack how flow isn't just a mental zone, but a rhythm: a way of moving through life aligned with who you designed to be. We talk about how fear pulls us out of flow, how striving disconnects us from presence, and what it takes to live and lead from your true identity.Whether you’re an athlete, entrepreneur, or everyday warrior — this episode will remind you that your best performance comes when you’re fully flowing, and fully you.

    Ep. 9 Competing Free (Part 1): From proving to flowing

    What’s really fueling your drive to compete?In Part 1 of our Competing Free series, we dive deep into the shift every high performer has to face — from proving to flowing. Whether you're on the court, in the boardroom, or leading a team, it’s easy to get caught up in the hustle to be seen, validated, or enough.But that grind? It’s often fear in disguise.This episode unpacks how fear hijacks our performance, where that pressure to prove comes from, and why competing from identity — not for identity — is the only way to experience true freedom.If you’ve ever felt like success still isn’t satisfying… this one’s for you.

    Ep. 8 The science of fear: How your brain keeps you safe (and maybe stuck)

    In this episode of The Freedom Lab, we dive into the science of fear—what's really happening in your brain when fear kicks in, and why it often overrides logic, courage, and even identity. We explore how the amygdala, nervous system, and subconscious patterns are designed to protect you—but can also keep you stuck. Join us as we unpack how fear shows up biologically, how it sabotages your freedom, and most importantly, how you can begin to rewire your brain to move from fear to freedom. If you've ever felt trapped by hesitation, self-doubt, or anxiety, this one’s for you.

    Ep. 5 How false identity shapes every room you walk into

    Have you ever felt out of place, like you’re performing instead of showing up fully as yourself? In this episode, we peel back the layers on false identity — the stories we’ve been handed, the roles we’ve learned to play, and the masks we wear to survive. From the boardroom to the living room, who you think you are is influencing how you show up in every space, every relationship, every decision.We’ll explore how false identity quietly distorts connection, breeds fear, and blocks us from true freedom. And more importantly — how to begin reclaiming your real identity and walk into every room aligned, grounded, and free.#thefreedomlab #feartofree #stepintoyou
