You're Stronger Than You Think w/ Joel Osteen

Like many of you, I’m a person of STRONG FAITH AND CONVICTION. My LOVE of my GOD means everything to me and has brought me PEACE, PURPOSE, and STRENGTH throughout my entire life.
Before I tell you about this week’s guest, PASTOR JOEL OSTEEN, I want to make it clear that I RESPECT and ENCOURAGE you to practice your faith and spirituality in any way you see fit.
That said, I wanted to share this UPLIFTING interview with Joel because it goes way beyond any single religious persuasion, exposes you to NEW IDEAS, and most of all, GIVES YOU A LOT TO THINK ABOUT.
For more than 20 years, Joel has combined his love of the ministry with a savvy approach to media and business to build one of the LARGEST FOLLOWINGS in the world. The Lakewood Church has become one of the most popular visitor destinations in Houston and currently draws more than 45,000 WEEKLY ATTENDEES. Joel’s international broadcast following has expanded into more than 200 MILLION HOUSEHOLDS in the United States alone. And his dedicated SIRIUSXM channel (Channel 128) and NIGHT OF HOPE events worldwide continue to amplify his messages to millions of more people.
Incredibly, Joel never set out to do the work he does today. The story of how he reluctantly filled in to deliver a sermon for his ailing father that turned out to be the FULFILLMENT of his DESTINY is a powerful example of God’s hand at work that you need to hear, along with the importance of CONQUERING YOUR FEARS to live the life you were meant to lead.
We talk about facing dark seasons in our lives, and how we can OVERCOME CHALLENGES and by holding onto our faith.
Joel also reveals how he prays, why GRATITUDE is a big part of his conversations with God, and the role of DESTINY in our lives.
If you struggle with CONFIDENCE (and most of us do), Joel offers advice on overcoming your fears and doubts by mastering self-defeating limitations.
We also touch on LETTING GO of things that add nothing to our lives and FOCUSING ON WHAT MATTERS MOST, a lesson all of us NEED TO LEARN.
JOEL OSTEEN is a tremendous force for GOOD IN THE WORLD, and after you listen to this week’s episode, you’ll know exactly why.

The Making Of Real Journalism w/ Megyn Kelly
Few people are more qualified to talk about POLITICS and NEWS MEDIA in America than this week’s guest, MEGYN KELLY.
For the past several years, most of us have watched the stunning transformation of these parts of our society from the comfort of our living rooms. But this week, Megyn gives us a NEWS INSIDER’S VIEW on some of the most high-profile political events and personalities in recent history.
It’s part of a larger look inside who Megyn Kelly is and how she has dealt with being a CHARISMATIC media figure over the past two decades, including dozen years spent at Fox News and later, on NBC’s The Today Show. She remains in the public eye through her current daily podcast on SiriusXM.
During her broadcasting tenure, politics and the news game became FULL CONTACT SPORTS, and Megyn often climbed in the ring to take on heavyweights in bouts that gained her the reputation of asking tough questions and demanding HONEST answers. Perhaps the best known of these was her ongoing back and forth tussles with then-presidential candidate Donald Trump.
Megyn’s CANDID take on the CURRENT STATE OF JOURNALISM will confirm what many of you already suspect. You’ll want to hear what she says about BIAS and how it rapidly accelerated during the Trump era.
You’ll also appreciate her insights about President Trump, the nature of identity politics, and how the public reacts to manipulative news media in and out of their own echo chambers.
On a personal level, Megyn talks about her SUPERPOWER and what she attributes to much of her success. She also offers advice about HOW TO RAISE WELL-ADJUSTED KIDS and what’s worked best for her as a mother of three children.
We spend a fair amount of time on a couple of essential but often overlooked questions in our lives.
Is Megyn happy?
She is.
And what does it take to make her happy?
It’s a simple answer, but much like the rest of who she is, Megyn’s answer is SMART and STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART.
As it should be for all of us.
I hope you’ll enjoy listening and learning from Megyn as much as I did.
She remains an INTELLIGENT voice in a lot of important discussions going on right now.

Transform Your Identity w/ Bob Harper
He hosted The Biggest Loser on television, but BOB HARPER is a BIG WINNER when it comes to being one of the most recognizable fitness experts today.
In this week’s episode, you’re going to get a big dose of TRUTH from Bob about battling obesity and LEADING A HEALTHIER LIFESTYLE. We’re going to talk about how you can make changes in your life, both mentally and physically, so you can better PROTECT YOURSELF and find your peak state, especially when it comes to CARDIAC HEALTH.
Bob is a successful author who has written three New York Times bestsellers. He has also educated countless people through his series of DVDs on working out and staying healthy and is a personal trainer to the stars, with clients such as ELLEN DEGENERES and JENNIFER JASON LEIGH.
But one of the most fascinating and unexpected chapters in Bob’s life was his well-publicized heart attack in 2017 at age 52. Despite outwardly being the picture of perfect health, Bob goes into detail about how he almost succumbed to that near-fatal attack.
In fact, HE FLATLINED FOR NINE MINUTES and spent two days in a coma before eventually recovering.
As you might imagine, that traumatic event deeply affected his psyche and his CORE IDENTITY. That led to a lot of SOUL SEARCHING and some dramatic changes in Bob’s life. Bob talks about dealing with PTSD, EMOTIONAL TURMOIL, and PIVOTING to find a NEW SENSE OF SELF.
Every one of us has faced life-changing moments like this or will soon enough. That’s what makes our conversation PERSONAL, ESSENTIAL, AND COMPELLING. I want you to listen and reflect on how something like this applies to you.
We also talk about practical ways to think about and achieve meaningful weight loss. Hint...it all starts in your HEAD before you see results in your WAIST! Bob and I also get into building GOOD HABITS, the RIGHT ENVIRONMENT, and SUPPORT TEAM, which are critical elements to losing and keeping weight off.
The bottom line is, BOB HARPER knows a lot about HEALING.
Listen closely, because he can TEACH you a lot about it, too.
