Show Notes
Christ said things like, "Deny yourself" and "Follow me." He also said, "Whoever seeks to save his life will lose his life." And that He came to bring not just a good life but "the Abundant life."
This episode is about what others have described as "ego death" or the denying of the "separated self," which is everything in us that is not from God. The ego always wants control, always wants it's own way, and is never satisfied.
I dive into Oswald Chambers excerpt from "My Utmost for His Highest" on the topic of "individuality" or "the ego" and how it is the shell which protects our real, personal life with God. It's not a bad thing as much as it is a layer that must be shed or denied to enter into union with GOD.
I also share my personal testimony of how Jesus Christ changed my entire life, even my heart.
May this episode inspire you to continue staying spiritually fit for life now and forever.
Strength in love, Brian

Most people think success is about achievements. Money. Status. Accomplishments. But go to enough funerals and you’ll realize something surprising… No one talks about those things. They talk about who the person was.
I felt stuck in my corporate job.. like I was slowly dying. Baseball was already behind me. Now I was staring at a sales career that felt safe… but didn’t feel like me. So I made a decision that scared the heck out of me. I quit. Not because I had everything figured out.. But because I knew I had to stop playing small and start chasing what I felt called to build. This episode isn’t about quitting your job. It’s about going all in on your potential. And that can look different for everyone. But here’s my story, and in this video I break down: 💥 The moment I knew it was time to leave 💥 How I started coaching when I had ZERO clients 💥 How I built my first online community 💥 The biggest mistakes new creators make 💥 What I focused on instead of chasing followers 💥 How I turned passion into real income If you’ve ever felt the pull to build something of your own… this episode is for you. Keep becoming ⚡️
Most guys don’t lack potential.. they lack self trust. Every broken promise to yourself chips away at your identity. In this episode, I break down:
What would change if you actually went all in on yourself? ⚡️ In this episode, Garrett MIller and I talk about something most men feel, but rarely say out loud. The fear of playing small. The pressure to provide. The quiet voice that says, “You’re capable of more.” We talk about: • Going all in on your potential • Owning your story instead of hiding it • Why the right circle changes everything • Mental health conversations men need to have • How to shine your light (instead of dimming it) You have a unique gift and a 1 of a kind story. Only you can give the world who you are. The world doesn’t need another copy. It needs you. This one’s honest. Raw. Real. And it might be the reminder you didn’t know you needed.
Everything you need is already within you 🌱 Humans are like seeds.. and the oak is within the acorn. But most people don't live like that. Most people forget who they are and how they're designed. In this episode, I break down: • Identity first • How to water your life 💧 • Why environment is everything • The miracle growth filter • And how to stop living below your design You don’t need more from the outside. You need to water your life and get in better soil. Let’s grow together ⚡️
