Don't Stoop | motivation Monday

olliebanks2436247@gmail.com (Ollie Banks ) — Mon, 11 Aug 2025 12:00:00 +0000

In this Motivation Monday episode of the Abundant Behavior Podcast, we’re talking about one of the hardest lessons in life—how to lead with love when others treat you wrong. The truth is, when we stoop to someone else’s level, we don’t rise—we fall. No matter the offense, no matter the disrespect, choosing love keeps you aligned with your purpose and protects your peace. Luke 6:27–31 reminds us to love our enemies, do good to those who hate us, and treat others the way we want to be treated. It’s not weakness—it’s strength in its purest form. Listen in as we discuss: Why responding with love is more powerful than revenge How to break the cycle of negativity Ways to guard your heart without hardening it The spiritual rewards of staying true to God’s call If you’ve been tempted to match someone’s energy when they wrong you, this is your reminder: rise above, don’t stoop.

Accept the rejection | word Wednesday

olliebanks2436247@gmail.com (Ollie Banks ) — Wed, 6 Aug 2025 23:23:11 +0000

In this episode of Abundant Behavior, we explore how rejection can be a divine setup. When people say no or doors close, it doesn’t always mean you’re on the wrong path — it could mean God is pruning you, preparing you, or protecting you from what you can’t yet see. Rooted in Psalms 118:19-22, this message reminds us that even when we're overlooked or denied, God can turn that rejection into our foundation. What feels like a setback may actually be the start of something greater. Tune in to be reminded: your value isn't defined by others' acceptance. Stay rooted in purpose and let God do the building. 👉 Follow and leave a review if this episode speaks to you. 🎧 New episodes every week to grow your faith and mindset. #AbundantBehavior #ChristianPodcast #FaithTalk #SpiritualGrowth #RejectionIsRedirection Follow me : https://linktr.ee/therealolliebanks Subscribe my channel: https://youtu.be/LolcGGdIClg?si=JrlJihJGy255x_85

In this Motivation Monday episode, we’re talking about the importance of trusting the process, even when the progress feels slow or invisible. It’s easy to get discouraged when your reality doesn’t match your vision. But just because it’s not happening fast doesn’t mean God isn’t working. This episode is a reminder to: Trust God, especially when it doesn't make sense Stay grounded in your why Refuse to conform to the pressures and patterns of this world Focus on getting 1% better every day Romans 12:2 reminds us: "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind..."

Adversity is a blessing | word Wednesday

olliebanks2436247@gmail.com (Ollie Banks ) — Wed, 30 Jul 2025 14:57:04 +0000

What if the very thing you’re trying to escape is the exact thing God is using to elevate you? In this episode of the Abundant Behavior Podcast, we’re digging deep into the truth that adversity isn’t your punishment—it’s part of your preparation. While the enemy may try to use trials to turn you away from your mission, God uses them to shape your character, build your endurance, and keep you grounded in His purpose. James 1:2–6 says: "Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance..." This episode will help you: Shift your mindset about adversity Understand why trials are part of spiritual growth Recognize when the enemy is attacking your purpose Embrace God’s correction as love, not rejection Find joy and strength in the middle of your storm Adversity doesn’t mean God has left you—it means He’s preparing you.

Lord soften my heart | motivation Monday

olliebanks2436247@gmail.com (Ollie Banks ) — Mon, 28 Jul 2025 12:00:00 +0000

Have you been feeling emotionally numb, closed off, or spiritually distant? This episode of the Abundant Behavior Podcast is a heartfelt reminder that a hard heart doesn’t protect you—it separates you from healing, growth, and intimacy with God. Life’s pain can harden us—through betrayal, loss, disappointment, or trauma. But staying hardened doesn’t lead to strength... it leads to more hurt. In this message, we ask God to soften our hearts, because true transformation starts on the inside. Scripture Inspiration: Ezekiel 36:25–26 "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you... I will remove your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh." In this episode, we dive into: How a hardened heart forms—and how it shows up in your life Why spiritual numbness is dangerous for your purpose What it truly means to receive a new heart from God The power of forgiveness, vulnerability, and surrender A prayer to invite God to soften and renew your heart Listen now to be reminded that healing is still possible, and a soft heart is a strong heart.

Its a blessing in the delay | word Wednesday

olliebanks2436247@gmail.com (Ollie Banks ) — Wed, 23 Jul 2025 20:23:46 +0000

Word Wednesday | It’s a Blessing in the Delay | Abundant Behavior Welcome back to Word Wednesday on the Abundant Behavior channel! This episode is titled “It’s a Blessing in the Delay,” and it’s a powerful reminder that just because it hasn’t happened yet doesn’t mean God said no—sometimes, He’s saying “not yet” for your protection. If God is closing a door or slowing things down, it’s not to harm you—it’s to help you. What feels like rejection could actually be divine redirection. Isaiah 55:8-9 reminds us: "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” God sees the full picture. That delay you’re frustrated about might be the very thing saving you from disaster—or preparing you for a bigger blessing. In this episode, we break down: Why delays aren’t denials How God’s timing protects and promotes you How to trust when you don’t understand the “why” 📖 Scripture Reference: Isaiah 55:8–9 🔥 Tune in every Word Wednesday for real, relevant, and faith-filled encouragement 📺 Watch, Like, Comment & Subscribe for more truth and motivation 📲 Share this message with someone who’s waiting on God and needs this reminder #AbundantBehavior #WordWednesday #ItsABlessingInTheDelay #Isaiah5589 #ChristianEncouragement #FaithOverFrustration #GodsTimingIsPerfect #PurposeOverPanic Follow me : https://linktr.ee/therealolliebanks Subscribe my channel: https://youtu.be/LolcGGdIClg?si=JrlJihJGy255x_85

ALL winners have vision|motivation Monday

olliebanks2436247@gmail.com (Ollie Banks ) — Mon, 21 Jul 2025 12:00:00 +0000

In this Motivation Monday episode of the Abundant Behavior Podcast, we’re reminding you of a simple but powerful truth: Every winner has vision. Winners don’t let their current circumstances stop them from seeing the bigger picture. If you can’t see where you’re going, you’ll stay stuck where you are. That’s why it’s so important to feed your mind positive thoughts and stay focused on the purpose God placed in you. Proverbs 29:18 says: "Where there is no vision, the people perish." That means if you don’t have a vision for your life, it’s easy to drift into discouragement, distraction, or defeat. But when you lock into your vision, you can stay motivated—even when life gets tough. In this episode, we’ll talk about: Why your subconscious mind needs positive fuel How to speak life over yourself daily The importance of staying focused on your future, not your frustration Don’t let today’s problems steal tomorrow’s promise. Keep your eyes on the vision and trust the process. 🎧 Listen now and subscribe for weekly faith-fueled motivation on the Abundant Behavior Podcast. 📲 Share this episode with someone who needs a mindset reset today.

olliebanks2436247@gmail.com (Ollie Banks ) — Wed, 16 Jul 2025 23:48:12 +0000

Welcome back to Word Wednesday on the Abundant Behavior channel! In this episode, “Do What’s Hard,” we’re talking about the power of choosing the hard path—because that’s where the real reward is. Your comfort zone might feel safe, but it’s actually your danger zone. Growth, breakthrough, and purpose are found when you push past what’s easy and step into what’s challenging. Remember: The hard road leads to the best destination. As Matthew 7:13-14 says: "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it."

In this episode of the Abundant Behavior Podcast, we’re keeping it real about the struggle. The mission God gave you won’t always be easy—but that doesn’t mean it’s not worth it. Sometimes the journey feels heavy, the road gets rough, and the finish line seems far away… but that’s exactly when you need to keep going.

In this episode of Abundant Behavior, we’re talking about staying rooted in your faith—even when life feels unbearable. No matter the pressure, pain, or confusion, never turn away from Jesus. Your struggles don’t cancel your calling; they build your character, just like 2 Peter 1:5–10 teaches: "Make every effort to add to your faith goodness… and to perseverance, godliness." When the world tells you to give up, Jesus calls you to endure. This conversation will remind you to keep your eyes on Him, even when you don’t understand the “why.” 🔥 Whether you’re in the middle of a storm or just coming out of one—this message is for you. 📖 Scripture Reference: 2 Peter 1:5–10 🎧 Listen now on all streaming platforms 📺 Watch the full episode on YouTube and subscribe for more faith-filled content!

Faith over Fear| motivation Monday

olliebanks2436247@gmail.com (Ollie Banks ) — Mon, 7 Jul 2025 19:09:27 +0000

In this episode of the Abundant Behavior Podcast, we’re talking about choosing faith over fear. Fear often shows up loud and strong—but remember, fear is just False Evidence Appearing Real. 📖 Hebrews 11:1 tells us that faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 📖 And 1 John 4 reminds us that perfect love casts out fear. God didn’t call us to live in fear, but to walk in boldness and trust in His plan. In this message, I break down how to stop letting fear control your decisions and how to start living by unshakable faith, even when the path isn’t clear. If you’ve been battling doubt, hesitation, or anxiety—this episode is for you. 🎧 Press play, and let’s grow together. #FaithOverFear #AbundantBehaviorPodcast #ChristianFaith #SpiritualGrowth #Hebrews11 #1John4 #OvercomingFear #FaithJourney #ChristianMotivation Follow me : https://linktr.ee/therealolliebanks Subscribe my channel: https://youtu.be/LolcGGdIClg?si=JrlJihJGy255x_85

Word Wednesday – Lukewarm Faith|Why It's Worse Than No Commitment

olliebanks2436247@gmail.com (Ollie Banks ) — Wed, 2 Jul 2025 19:00:00 +0000

In this episode of Abundant Behavior, we’re unpacking a powerful truth from Revelation 3:15–16 — where God says, “Because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth.” Too many people are stuck in a place of spiritual comfort, thinking that partial commitment is enough. But lukewarm faith doesn’t honor God — it actually offends Him. Today’s message is all about why being half-in is more dangerous than not being committed at all, and how to move from complacency to conviction. Listen in as we explore: The danger of lukewarm living How to self-check your spiritual temperature Steps to reignite your passion and purpose in Christ This is your midweek reminder to get real, get focused, and get fired up in your walk with God. 📖 Scripture: Revelation 3:15–16 Don’t forget to follow, rate, and share the podcast to help spread the message! #WordWednesday #AbundantBehaviorPodcast #FaithTalk #LukewarmFaith #Revelation3 #SpiritualWakeUpCall #ChristianPodcast #FaithOverComfort #JesusIsKing #OnFireForGod #BibleBased #ChristianLiving Follow me : https://linktr.ee/therealolliebanks Subscribe my channel: https://youtu.be/LolcGGdIClg?si=JrlJihJGy255x_85

BE HUMBLE under Gods hand| Word Wednesday

olliebanks2436247@gmail.com (Ollie Banks ) — Wed, 25 Jun 2025 17:54:06 +0000

In this episode of Abundant Behavior, I get real and raw about a lesson I learned the hard way — the importance of staying humble under God’s hand. As the podcast grew, I got big-headed, started focusing more on the attention than on the calling, and it cost me dearly…even my relationship. My girlfriend walked away because of it. Through this painful experience, I came to understand Romans 12:3 in a new light: “For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment.” This episode is about checking your pride, submitting to God, and rediscovering the heart behind why you started in the first place. If you’ve ever felt yourself drifting from humility, this one’s for you. Let’s walk this path together and learn to stay humble under God’s hand.

Let God spot you| Word Wednesday

olliebanks2436247@gmail.com (Ollie Banks ) — Wed, 18 Jun 2025 20:00:28 +0000

Welcome to another episode of Abundant Behavior — where faith meets real life. Today’s message is for anyone feeling the weight of the world on their shoulders. In this episode, I break down the importance of letting God spot you, using a relatable gym reference to show how God shows up when the pressure gets too heavy. Just like in the gym, when the bar gets too heavy and your arms start to shake, that’s when your spotter steps in. Spiritually, God is that spotter. He sees what you’re lifting—the burdens, the fears, the pressure—and He’s always ready to step in when your strength isn’t enough. We’re anchoring this episode in 1 Peter 5:6-9, where we’re reminded to humble ourselves, cast all our anxiety on God, and stay alert because the enemy is always watching. But here’s the hope: you don’t have to carry that weight alone. God’s strength is made perfect in your weakness. 🎙 In this episode, we’ll cover: What it looks like to "train" your faith and build spiritual strength The signs that you're trying to carry too much alone Why it’s not a lack of faith to admit you need help—it’s an act of surrender How God lifts what you can’t when life gets heavy This episode is for anyone who’s been pushing through silently, grinding through the pain, and needs the reminder that you are not alone. Let God spot you. Let Him carry what you can’t. 🎧 Available now on all streaming platforms. Don’t forget to share this with someone who’s been lifting life without a spotter.

olliebanks2436247@gmail.com (Ollie Banks ) — Mon, 16 Jun 2025 18:15:02 +0000

In today’s episode, we’re digging into a powerful mindset shift: the difference between motivation and inspiration — and why one fades while the other fuels lasting change. Motivation might get you started, but it’s often based on feelings, pressure, or external rewards. It comes and goes. But inspiration? That’s deeper. It comes from purpose. It’s rooted in who God called you to be. When you’re inspired, you don’t need hype — you’re moved by vision, by calling, and by a desire to walk in alignment with God’s plan. 💭 If you’re tired of starting over, feeling burnt out, or wondering why motivation never lasts — this episode is for you. We’re breaking down how to tap into inspiration, how it connects to your faith, and how to stay consistent even when emotions fade. 🎧 Listen now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and all streaming platforms.

Get out the sketch phase| finish what God called you to do| Word Wednesday

olliebanks2436247@gmail.com (Ollie Banks ) — Wed, 21 May 2025 20:53:23 +0000

🎙️ Get Out of the Sketch Phase: Finish the Assignment God Gave You Too many of us are stuck in the “sketch phase”—dreaming, planning, and preparing for something God has already called us to do. But faith that never moves into action isn’t faith at all. As James 2:17 reminds us: “Faith without works is dead.” In this episode, we’re diving deep into the spiritual weight of obedience. God didn’t give you that vision just to inspire you — He gave it to activate you. It’s time to move from intention to execution, from inspiration to obedience. You’ll discover: How fear and perfectionism can delay your calling Why procrastination is often spiritual disobedience The power of aligning your works with your faith How to boldly trust God and take your next step 🛠️ God has already equipped you. Now He’s waiting on your yes. Stop sketching — start building. It’s time to finish what He started in you. 👉 Tune in now and let your faith come alive through action. #FaithInAction #Obedience #KingdomWork #ChristianPodcast #FaithWithoutWorks #PurposeDriven #GodsTiming Follow me : https://linktr.ee/therealolliebanks Subscribe my channel: https://youtu.be/LolcGGdIClg?si=JrlJihJGy255x_85

Welcome to a brand new week — and a brand new opportunity to begin again. In today’s episode, we’re diving deep into something that so many of us wrestle with: picking up where we left off. If you’ve been feeling stuck, inconsistent, or like you've lost momentum on your goals or dreams, this conversation is for you. We all hit seasons of burnout, distraction, or self-doubt. Life happens — priorities shift, motivation fades, and sometimes we end up putting our passions and plans on the back burner. But here’s the truth: just because you paused doesn’t mean you’ve failed. You’re allowed to start over, and more importantly — you’re allowed to continue without starting from scratch. In this episode, we’ll explore: Why hitting “reset” is a strength, not a weakness The emotional weight of unfinished goals — and how to release the guilt How to reconnect with the “why” behind your dreams Practical tips for easing back into routines, projects, or ambitions you’ve been avoiding Mindset shifts that will help you build sustainable momentum moving forward This isn’t about chasing hustle culture or pressuring yourself into productivity — this is about coming back to yourself. It’s about giving yourself grace and then making the brave decision to show up anyway. 🌱 Whether you're restarting a business, getting back into a healthy habit, revisiting a creative project, or simply trying to get out of a slump, this episode will help you find the energy, clarity, and motivation you need to move forward. So grab your coffee, take a deep breath, and let’s get back on track — together. 💬 I’d love to hear from you: What’s one goal or dream you’re recommitting to this week?

Purpose through pain - 2k Kenny

Welcome back to another powerful episode of the Abundant Behavior Podcast, where we explore the stories of creators, leaders, and visionaries who are doing the internal work while building their purpose-driven paths. In today’s episode, I’m joined by 2k Kenny, a rising R&B/Soul artist based out of Austin, Texas, who is making waves in the music world — all while still actively serving in the U.S. Navy. Known for emotionally rich tracks like “Might Not Last,” “TENDER 'BOUT YOU,” and “Villains,” 2k Kenny shares his inspiring journey of balancing military life with a growing music career. We talk about his upbringing, the decision to serve his country, and how that experience continues to shape his identity as a man and an artist. Kenny opens up about the emotional and mental toll of service, the role music plays as a creative outlet, and how he's found healing and purpose through self-expression. 🎵 From the structured demands of active duty to the vulnerability required in the studio, Kenny’s dual path is a rare and powerful one. His story is a testament to discipline, emotional resilience, and the drive to turn pain into passion — all while walking two completely different worlds at once. 🎧 Catch the full episode on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and all major streaming platforms. 🙏 If you’re moved by this story, please LIKE, COMMENT, and SUBSCRIBE to support more meaningful conversations on the Abundant Behavior Podcast.

Mens mental health

olliebanks2436247@gmail.com (Ollie Banks ) — Mon, 19 Aug 2024 22:09:28 +0000

Your mental health is your responsibility, you can't expect anyone to care if you don't.

Always pour into yourself, no matter if it's only 10-15 minutes a day. Give yourself a chance to refill your own cup before filling someone else's.

Anxiety isn't avoidable, but properly planning for big or stressful events can be the difference maker in the way you feel, and how productive you are.

Depression is a feeling that stems from something else. You can't just take a pill for depression, and it goes away forever. It's something you have to work towards everyday. Being intentional about your mental health daily should be the standard.

Having unresolved trauma can cause many underlining affects in business, and your relationship life. Never allow the way you feel to dictate the relationship you have with your loved ones. A lot of times when we are feeling less than our best, we beat up the people closest to us, or the people we love the most.

Real estate refers to property consisting of land and the buildings on it, along with its natural resources such as crops, minerals, or water. It encompasses a variety of categories, including:

1. **Residential Real Estate**: Properties intended for living purposes, such as houses, apartments, and condominiums.

2. **Commercial Real Estate**: Properties used for business activities, including office buildings, retail spaces, warehouses, and hotels.

3. **Industrial Real Estate**: Properties used for manufacturing, production, distribution, and storage of goods, such as factories and industrial parks.

4. **Land**: Includes vacant land, farms, ranches, and undeveloped property.

Real estate can be owned by individuals, companies, or governments, and it can be bought, sold, rented, or leased. The value of real estate is influenced by factors such as location, market demand, economic conditions, and the condition of the property itself. Investing in real estate can provide income through rent and potential appreciation in property value over time.

olliebanks2436247@gmail.com (Ollie Banks ) — Sun, 12 May 2024 17:30:24 +0000

. Empathy creates understanding! Never judge a person before you get to know them for yourself.

. Unlocking the mysteries of the prefrontal cortex, and Understanding its role in alcohol use and decision-making is very vital in your day to day life. If you were exposed to trauma in your adolescent years, know that trauma isn’t what happened to you. The Trauma is the long Lasting wounds, and side effects. Getting therapy is highly recommended if you struggle with healing yourself.

. As black men, we have to be a great example for the Little black boys coming behind us. Rather that’s a son , a cousin, or a neighbor! Always be there for the youth, because they hold the success to our future!

. I look at black people like we were born with -20 points. Imagine getting allll the way to -1, and you’re just about to enter into the positive. One wrong mistake can knock you back -20 points. Black men and women please don’t get caught up in the judicial system.

No matter your financial situation, always find a way to do what you love to do. Especially if you feel like God has called you to do it.

We need more empathy in relationships, but don't feel obligated to stick around until your partner gets themselves together! That shadow work is for them to do on their own, you can't change someone who doesn't want to change.

In the black community, we need to stop battling our oppressions, we are all oppressed equally. If we come together, we will see true change !

And every relationship should find balance ,and ultimately do what’s right for them. He also said most people scroll all day, and start to subconsciously place expectations of social media on everyday people.

I got a chance to sit down with up-and-coming artists from Pensacola, Fl Big Heff. Big Heff talked about performing overseas, getting hate during his beginning stages, but overcoming that adversity. He shared with us how important a mentor is when you first get started, and how it gave him the confidence to step in and be the artist he is today.

No matter who supports you, always chase your dreams. People will put limitations on you because they are unsure of themself as a person.

Healing takes time

olliebanks2436247@gmail.com (Justin Colasito) — Tue, 30 May 2023 15:42:32 +0000

If you have someone you love, don't wait until they pass away to tell them.

losing a loved one is never easy, but one thing that we should do is keep living and enjoying life even after they pass away.

As a young boy losing your father is hard to deal with, fathers seem to have all the answers that are used to unlock the doors of fruitful life, when you lose your father it feels like you have lost your road map to life. But when you keep going you're soon to realize everything your dad taught you this far in life, still has the ability to unlock those doors!

Health and wellness

Stay locked in on your fitness goals because you either spend time in a gym now, or suffer the health problems later in life.

Always remain coachable when inside the gym, their is always someone who can help you get better or enhance what you already do.

Eating healthy doesn't have to make your life miserable; Trainer Moe says start by implementing healthier options into what you already do week by week, and soon you will be on your way to a healthier life ,and a better relationship with food.

When you're in the gym, trainer Moe says your main focus should be locking in on YOURSELF and getting 1% better every time you step foot in that gym!

Trainer Moe says you don't need two hours a day to get more fit, his rule is 30-45 minutes for his new clients, but YOU have to do the work!

The Journey

olliebanks2436247@gmail.com (Chelsea Ulendo) — Wed, 26 Apr 2023 17:00:00 +0000

Words from Chelsea Ulendo:

Advice for self discovery

My advice for someone who is afraid to go on a self-discovery journey because of the fear of being alone is to reframe their perspective. Being alone can be scary, but it can also be a powerful opportunity for self-reflection, growth, and discovery. When we are alone, we have the time and space to truly tune into our own thoughts, feelings, and desires without the distractions and influences of others. It's important to remember that being alone does not have to mean being lonely. By embracing solitude as an opportunity for self-discovery and connection, rather than a source of fear, we can unlock a whole new level of self-awareness and fulfillment

Black Community

Accountable, holding each other to a standard

Losing Friends

Losing friends can be a difficult part of the personal development journey. It's important to remember that people come and go in our lives for various reasons, and it's okay to let go of friendships that no longer serve us. It's important to focus on the relationships that bring positivity and support to our lives, and to make space for new relationships that align with our personal growth. It can also be helpful to seek out communities or groups that share our interests and values, as these can provide a sense of belonging and support. Remember that it's okay to outgrow friendships and that it's a natural part of the journey towards personal fulfillment..

Family Structure

olliebanks2436247@gmail.com (Ollie Banks ) — Sun, 2 Apr 2023 18:13:33 +0000

Sometimes we don't realize our upbringing affects our personal relationships until we are in them, moving past trauma and family issues takes work and intentionality.
Before you get into a relationship, take the necessary steps to heal. Bring God into the center of your life ,work on improving your mindset ,and try hard to find your purpose.
