Winning Minds

by Fred LaValley

WINNING begins in the MIND. Enjoy these conversations with everyday people who overcame difficulties and setbacks, or simply recognized how their way of thinking limited their own abilities and opportunities. They did this (and continue doing it!) by learning that success and WINNING start in the MIND and how we think. With WINNING MINDS we can Think better. Do better. Be better.

2023.04 Israel, Russia, China: The Big One

8m · Published 10 Oct 16:09

I delivered this sermon back in April of this year – 2023. This is just a small part of it dealing with the instability of world governments and economies. Everyone was concerned about Russia and Ukraine, but I said, things can easily accelerate, and What if this scenario played out… now we see some of it is. But are you ready for what I called “The Big One”? Thank you for listening. I hope this challenges you and inspires you to make the greatest winning decision: living for Jesus Christ and looking forward to His return.

2023.03 Satan, Technology and Faith

29m · Published 16 Jun 13:00
Written in 1975, but oddly relevant now. Even though technology has progressed and accelerated as much as it has, Howard Snyder's words still ring true in 2023. This is a reading from his book, The Problem of Wineskins: Church Structure in a Technological Age. Thank you for listening to this episode. I hope you enjoy it, share it, and that it contributes to your next winning decision.

2023.02 What is Money? Michael Sailor & Robert Breedlove

18m · Published 01 Jun 21:00

The "What Is Money" Show and podcast are very popular and informative. But it falls short in diagnosing the root problem with broken money. The root cause is the human condition: sin. And the true and final solution is a conversion experience with Jesus Christ. In this episode I respond to and share my thoughts on the topic and what the Bible says about it.

Thank you for listening to this episode. I hope you enjoyed it and that it contributes to your next WINNING decision.

2023.01 Mental Health and Weed(ing)?

17m · Published 03 Apr 12:01

Recently, my parents moved. And because of the move, I began receiving their forwarded mail. One of the items was a gardening magazine my mom would read. Because I enjoy gardening, I figured I’d check it out.

Interestingly enough, the articles were not about gardening as much as they were about mental health: dealing with life’s ups and downs. Events in the various authors’ lives, and the reflections and lessons learned. This episode is the result of that reading.

I am reading 4 of the short articles from the magazine. It’s called “Green Prints”, and this issue specifically is called, “The Weeder’s Reader.” Each article is separated with the least annoying sound effect I could find, and I give the title of the article as well.

Thank you for listening. I hope you enjoy this, and that it contributes to your next Winning Decision, and possibly even inspires you to get into gardening.

2022.15 Rachel LaValley: Identity and Unsubscribing

19m · Published 21 Nov 16:30

Life comes at you 100 miles-per-hour and we get swept into it's current. But what if you could "check out" from it... in a HEALTHY, WINNING way? That is what Rachel LaValley decided to do. She did not like the pace her family was running at, so she took things into her own hands, and into her own home. It is challenging on many levels, but the reward is worth it so far.

2022.14 Women and Mothers

24m · Published 03 Nov 16:00

What does fair treatment and equality for women look like? What is the value of all the things women, and particularly mothers, do? How much should women be paid? What do we get right and what do we get wrong as a society? These are valuable questions to consider, and hopefully lead to actions and behavior that helps us all WIN in life.

2022.13 Autumn Fortitude: Strength Sown Steadily

10m · Published 14 Oct 12:00

Fall is beginning. That means winter is coming. Nothing new there - it's been happening for thousands of years. But before we move on or start looking ahead too soon, we should slow down and smell the... pumpkins? Maybe not. But we should slow down and think for a while - not about the world or even your nation, but you...personally.  What is happening in your life and what future are you headed towards?  How have you actually grown so far this year?  These questions are easy to ask and read (or listen to), but will we take the time to consider and answer them?  This episode is not a conversation. I am reading two articles from the Fall 2022 edition of the Magnolia Journal. I'm reading it because I found them useful and hope you will as well. But also, to use it as a way to ask you: what are you reading? You must have more than your own thoughts in your mind. You must have more content than whatever youtube video or social media channel you follow. There is immense benefit in taking time to read, consider, think. Stop watching screens and READ. Your mind will benefit as well as your body, and it helps you slow down and be present in wherever you are and whatever season of life you are in right now. Thank you for listening to this episode. I hope you enjoy it and that it contributes to your next winning decision.

2022.12 Amen Clinics: Mental Hygiene

10m · Published 01 Aug 12:00

"Wash your hands." 

We saw signs and ads everywhere for the past 2 years telling us to do this - something we learned to do when we were 3 years old. I remember visiting a college campus in 2021 and seeing those signs up in the bathrooms. I thought, "Seriously? Our up-and-coming, brightest-minds-of-the-future have to be told do something this elementary?" I'm not making light of the situation we all know too well but simply pointing out that physical hygiene is something we learn as children.

But what about mental hygiene?

In this episode, I am reading an article published by the Amen Clinics. This clinic was established by Dr. Daniel Amen (what a last name, right?), and you can find it in the link provided in the show notes. I have learned so much through their articles, podcasts, YouTube videos and books over the previous 2 and a half years. I thought it would be appropriate to feature this simple, yet very effective WINNING practice in an episode.

Thank you for listening. I hope you enjoy this, and that it contributes to your mental hygiene and your next WINNIGN decision.

2022.10 Derrick Caldwell: Resources and Relationships

32m · Published 17 May 12:52

Today’s guest is Derrick Caldwell – the Director of the Boys and Girls Club of Lanier, the place where he has worked for the last 20 years or so. Throughout his time he has guided, mentored and helped thousands of young men and women. He does this because he sees himself in so many of them. As a young man he so often did not have these resources and relationships. But now, through his care and commitment, there are several well-known men and women he has directly influenced, and many, many more who are having a positive impact on their local communities and families. Derrick Caldwell is definitely a WINNING MIND!

Thank you for listening to this episode. I hope you enjoy it and that it contributes to your next WINNING decision.
