      <title>Many Are The Plans with Kelsey, Jordan, Matt &amp; Nolan</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Kelsey Evert, Jordan Smith, Matt Williamson and Nolan McCue join us to share their recent journeys.
GOD was working in each of them separately, to bring them together for a new PURPOSE & PLAN!
This episode will hit you hard...are you not sure you are happy with your current situation? Is God preparing you for change?
Are you not sure of your PURPOSE in life?
Do NOT let FEAR keep you from stepping into GOD"S WILL
PRAY about EVERYTHING
IRON SHARPENS IRON
Listen to this episode and the many NUGGETS they share...
And ALL OF THE SUDDEN... (change happens)
One sided loyalty is stupid!
Listen to someone besides yourself
Do you struggle with your PRAYER LIFE?
 Sit in HIS Presence (get up early)
Do you TRUST GOD???
SEEK GOD and HIS PLAN
Is your sense of self wrapped up in your career?
Are you masking unhappiness?
Is there a wind of change in your life?
Does where you are ALIGN with your VALUES?
The DEVIL will attack when you are seeking GOD
Are you asking...IS THIS REALLY???...AT WHAT COST???
Go from SUCCESS to SIGNIFIGANCE
Are you JEALOUS of what others have? the specific career path they have?
Are you experiencing ANXIETY but not sure where its coming from?
How are you filling the "holes" in your life?
Do you need to be challenged?
have TRUST & FAITH in the LORD! 
Be READY when GOD speaks
HIS PLAN WILL BE SUCCESSFUL!!!
Ask questions... if not NOW, WHEN?
LOYALTY TRUTH TRUST
Do you need to REKINDLE YOUR JOY

Phil 4:13, 6 and 19
I Thess 3:5-6
Jer 29:11
Prov 19:21

      <description><![CDATA[Michael is back for his third episode.
This time we discuss his journey to where he is today, after STARTING OVER at least three times.

GOD has a plan for us...that may not be what we thought it was

      <description><![CDATA[Morgan Gallagher joins us to share a life changing story and how it can help change yours.
She was told that she was the 31st best player on her college soccer team, and that only 30 could suit up to play in league games.
That made her strive to become GREAT in ALL areas of her life!
She shares many great nuggets of wisdom, such as:
Don't look back and think of all the things you did NOT do!
Ensure that you are NOT #31
Change using DISCIPLINE & CONSISTENCY
Do NOT go to the LAND OF COMPLACENCY
Be FULLY PRESENT
BE GRATEFUL
Be INFLUENTUIAL
To give anything LESS THAN YOUR BEST is to WASTE THE GIFT
We NEED FAILURE in order to be GREAT
GET OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE REGULARY

      <title>Sharing the Gospel, David Pope</title>
      <description><![CDATA[IMPORTANT EPISODE:
Today David Pope joins us to tell us about his recent Mission trip. 
We discuss the importance of joining groups for trips and events to SHARE GOD'S LOVE and THE GOSPEL...
as well as for us to share with THOSE AROUND US, ON A DAY TO DAY BASIS!!!
We share FOUR METHODS we can use to SHARE THE GOSPEL with others:
Your STORY of GRACE
The THREE CIRCLES
The ROMAN ROAD
The THREE CIRCLES
We also discuss:
Have BOLDNESS
RISK yourself for the ETERNITY OF OTHERS
BE A MISSIONARY, EVERY DAY!!!
Sometimes we SOW THE SEED, sometimes we REAP the HARVEST
For those that Know HIM, this is as close the HELL as we will be, for those that do NOT, this is as close to HEAVEN that they will be.
We are the WORKERS, We do NOT SAVE ANYONE...We are to be OBEDIENT, GOD DOES THE WORK

JESUS is our SAVIOR AND KING
WHAT IS STOPPING YOU FROM ACCEPTING CHRIST?

Look into EAST WEST Ministries and C12 Business Ministry

      <title>Abundant Life, Matt Williamson</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Our great friend Matt Williamson returns to share how he has been changed by Matthew 16:24. He has more of an ABUNDANT LIFE by Denying Himself.
He shares...
How he has made a change in his health and physical strength
Physical training has some value, but GODLINESS is of value in every way
How he using a morning COLD PLUNGE 
How he asked the question, "How am I denying myself?"
and, "Where can I make changes?"
We should desire to IMPACT OTHERS lives
We often Overvalue results and Undervalue activity
Choose your suffering or your suffering will choose you!
Consistency is Vital

      <description><![CDATA[I have marked another item off of my BUCKET LIST!
After years of saying "one day", Steven Modlin and I have started the AGOGE FIGHT LEAGUE.
We found an awesome partner in SWIFTKICK BERNARD ROBINSON and recently had our first card, AFL I.
It was AMAZING!!!
In this special "AGOGE FIGHT LEAGUE" episode of GTG, Steven and I interview the fighter that won the FIGHT OF THE NIGHT matchup, Dustin Whittemore. His opponent, ROBERT VINE, and Dustin put on an amazing show that was extremely competitive, but they also showed RESPECT and SPORTSMANSHIP to each other, and the sport.
We discuss topics such as...
WHY FIGHT?
How much DISCIPLINE AND GRIT does it take to prepare and compete?
What are the REWARDS of your efforts?
Show RESPECT AND HUMBLENESS
MAKE IT HAPPEN/MAKE THE DECISION!
