All of these beautiful Blasts from the Past were previously broadcast, but we are sharing them with you at a time when you might need them most. Hope you enjoy the review!

What would people honestly say about you if today were your last? We take that uncomfortable question and turn it into a compass for purpose, unpacking what it means to live as a “living sacrifice” where intent matters more than optics and love costs something real. Drawing from Romans 12, we explore how transformation beats imitation, why joy outlasts happiness, and how motive turns generosity from a seasonal stunt into a daily habit that actually helps people.

Along the way, we contrast a peacetime mindset with a wartime mindset—the former drifts into comfort and self-preservation, the latter stays alert to the quiet emergencies around us. We talk frankly about privilege, perspective, and the seductive myth that comfort equals control. Then we ground the conversation in stories that sting and inspire, including seventeen-year-old Medal of Honor recipient Jack Lucas on Iwo Jima and a medic’s final moments that redefine courage and compassion. These moments aren’t just history; they’re mirrors for the choices we make when nobody’s clapping.

This episode is equal parts conviction and coaching. You’ll hear practical ways

Have you ever wondered why so many spiritually-minded people avoid organized religion? What if the problem isn't religion itself, but our fundamental misunderstanding of what it's supposed to be?

In this raw, unfiltered conversation, we dive deep into the topic I've hesitated to discuss – religion versus relationship. I break down the rarely-examined definition of religion (appearing only 5-7 times in the New Testament) and explore why terms like "system," "institutionalized," and "ceremony" leave such a bitter taste in so many mouths.

We confront the uncomfortable truth that hypocrisy isn't just a church problem – it's a human problem. Whether it's telling our kids not to talk to strangers except on Halloween or claiming we don't eat certain foods while making exceptions, we all live with contradictions. The question becomes: are we willing to acknowledge them?

Hey, Friends and Family.

Even in the months of the podcast season when things are slow, we have content for you. Our team thought it a great idea to start reviewing previous (but timely) episodes of our show during the times that Mista Yu is away from the microphone. All of these episodes (or beautiful Blasts from the Past) were previously broadcast, but we are sharing them with you at a time when you might need them most. Hope you enjoy!

One To Grow On:

This is the toughest conversation many of us may have, but it is the one we absolutely must have. Our team thought that based on the current climate, this would be an ideal episode to reload for all of our new listeners and those that have been with us for years. Enjoy!

The impact of our social circles on our personal growth and development cannot be understated, especially during divisive times like election season. Who we spend time with directly influences our mindset, opportunities, and future trajectory.

• The five people you spend the most time with shape who you become
• Like standing near a smoker, negative people affect you even if you don't adopt their habits
• "Show me your friends and I'll show you your future" is more than just a saying
• The Crab Bucket syndrome: when people pull you down to stay at their level
• True friends love you too much to leave you where you are
• Being a "diehard" fan in sports can translate to harmful blind loyalty in other areas
• We often attach ourselves to groups without researching what they truly stand for
• Evaluate relationships based on how they affect your spiritual, physical, mental, emotional and financial health
