Crew 1st Culture Podcast

I’ve heard it so many times, people avoid God’s calling because their idea of what a Christian looks like isn’t something that they think is attainable. You don’t have to be perfect to recover God’s love, you don’t have to have all of your “problems” fixed before he’ll accept you; God loves you as you are. Don’t wait any longer, it’s time to surrender.

A great book that I’ve listened to recently is “Unbreakable” by Jay Glazer. It is a great book and I definitely suggest it to anyone especially those dealing with depression and/or anxiety. This episode I go over what he calls the Unbreakable Mindset.

An area that I feel like we can really improve on in the fire service is practicing vulnerability. Vulnerability is such a powerful thing and I have seen so many great things happen because someone decided to have the courage to be vulnerable. This is where our real courage is tested, it's not easy but it is so important.

Choose to overcome, not to be overcome!

I am thankful to Chief Corley Moore for not only having me on as a guest but for also allowing me to release this on my platform as well. I enjoyed the conversation and hope you will too.

A struggle for so many of us is placing our value and self worth in the hands of those around us. Whether someone sees the value you have or not does not diminish your worth. We can’t allow the words and actions of others determine our level of happiness, confidence, and satisfaction. There may be 100 people telling you that you have nothing to give but God will lead you to the one person that needs what you have to share.

I have the pleasure of being in the company of a great friend and an amazing person today. Marc Maikoski joins me today and I am so excited to be able to let him share a little bit of his story with you all. Marc shares about family, mission work, his tribe, and learning the power of presence.

Sharing a story from my past of times that I wasn’t really sure how I’d make it out of. Even though my situation is worlds away from what it was back then I still have struggled feeling completely used up and exhausted. But even in those times I know God is working in my life and it will eventually pass.
