    <description>Do you find yourself frequently stressed out? Or maybe you aren’t sure of your true identity? No matter how hard you try, there just seems to be a giant void in your life?

Welcome to the YOU MATTER To Christ podcast, where we talk to current and former athletes, business professionals, and everyday people just like you. We ask them questions like, when did you hit the buzz saw moment in life, when did God undeniably show up in your life, and why do you pray?

The YOU MATTER To Christ podcast was launched to provide a platform for open and honest conversations that explore faith, hope, and the incredible impact of God’s love. Particularly for those who have doubts or reservations, this podcast is for you.

Life has a way of throwing us into challenging situations, and it’s during those moments that doubts can arise. I know what it’s like to question, to wonder, if there’s more to life than meets the eye. That’s why I want to share stories of hope and inspiration and transformation from both believers and those who may have wrestled with their faith, so that together, we can uncover the undeniable power of God’s love.

I believe that each and every one of us, regardless of our doubts or skepticism, is valued and cherished in his eyes. I believe that YOU MATTER To Christ. You are the only one that has ever existed that is you. Your unique spirit, skills and experiences make you exactly the right person for whatever it is God created you for.

So if you find yourself spiritually skeptical, unsure, curious, or you’re facing a void in your life that you just can’t seem to fill, then this podcast is for you. 

Join me in this adventure of exploration into the power of faith and the value of establishing a relationship with God. And remember, in the book of Matthew, chapter seven, verse seven, it says, ask and it shall be given to you. Seek and you will find. Knock and the door will be open to you.

I invite you to ask the tough questions, seek the truth, and knock on the door. Together we will discover that you truly matter to Christ.

God’s peace.

      <title>From Dope Dealer To Hope Dealer With Richard Kaufman</title>
      <description>Christ embraces all, even
those who have committed the gravest of sins – as long as they are genuinely
interested in converting and changing. Richard Kaufman is a great example of
this, and he is here to share his inspiring journey of transformation from
being a dope dealer to hope dealer. Joining Chad Burmeister, he looks back on
how alcoholism and drugs messed up his life, put him behind bars, and made him
suicidal. He opens up on how God worked wonders on him, even hearing His voice
through a country song, allowing him to get back up on his feet. Richard
explains how he now helps others get through the same tribulations as a coach
and host of the Vertical Momentum Podcast.

      <title>Guided By Faith: A Chaplain’s Journey Through Faith And Sports With Brad Kenney</title>
      <description>There are moments in our lives where we feel God’s profound presence leading us to where He meant for us to go. For Brad Kenney, that moment took him to where he is now, serving others by serving the Lord as a Chaplain. He is the Founder/Executive Director of the Soccer Chaplains United and Lead Volunteer Chaplain for the Colorado Rapids of Major League Soccer. In this episode, he shares with us the ups and downs of his journey of finding himself as he grows in his relationship with God. He also talks about the moments where his faith was tested and how he learned about the constancy of the Lord in our lives. Serving as a Chaplain to a pro sports organization, Brad then offers advice for athletes going through an identity crisis. Sometimes, it can be difficult to understand the path God has laid out for us; but if we open our hearts and minds and surrender, we learn that His plans are unfailing and the best.

      <link>https://www.youmattertochrist.com/blog/bars-to-bricks-christ-walks-with-sinners-and-transforms-them-with-dr-kevin-labelle</link>
      <description>When you get the chance to read the Bible, you will find that Jesus walks with sinners.

He, too, had been led astray in his life, and faith in God is what eventually saved him. Now, he runs Bars to Bricks Prison Ministries, an incredible organization that brings God to the struggling lambs behind prison bars. Someone out there who’s in the fence needs that little extra push to finally surrender themselves to Christ. They need to hear this message. Tune in to this episode and be that catalyst that makes even the most vilified people realize that they, too, matter to Christ.

      <title>From Setbacks To Slingshots: Unleashing Your Next Play Mentality With Ana Miroslavic</title>
      <link>https://www.youmattertochrist.com/blog/from-setbacks-to-slingshots-unleashing-your-next-play-mentality-with-ana-miroslavic</link>
      <description>Your setbacks are not roadblocks but the slingshots that propel you toward your true potential. In this episode, we sit down with the remarkable Ana Miroslavic, former player and coach of competitive water polo. Today, she shares how her resilience journey and its transformative setbacks led her to develop the “Next Play Mentality.” As Ana opens up about her personal growth, she reflects on her younger years, when she felt disconnected from her faith and later discovering the power of truly listening and connecting with it during her graduate studies at Biola University. Her most profound revelation came during her water polo journey, where she had to accept and trust that God had different plans for her, redirecting her path towards a higher purpose. As the conversation progresses, Ana discusses the pressure society places on us to impress others, constantly striving to meet external expectations. However, she emphasizes the importance of shifting focus to the audience of one—God himself. By optimizing our choices based on their impact on eternity, we unlock a bigger game that encompasses collaboration and positively influences people’s lives. Tune in now and learn how to develop your Next Play Mentality.

      <title>Beyond Boundaries: Balancing Spiritual Growth And Success In The Modern World With Stephen D'Angelo And Father Arnold Rosney</title>
      <description>In this modern world, spiritual growth and material success can often be seen as at odds with each other. But if there is one thing you’ll discover in today’s conversation, it would be the value of looking beyond the boundaries and finding the intersection of spirituality and business. In this episode, Chad Burmeister sits down with two special guests. Father Arnold Rosney, a Catholic Priest from Ireland, shares his insights on how to blend spirituality with striving in modern capitalism. Joining him is Stephen D'Angelo, an accomplished technology executive and business consultant, as well as the author of the Amazon best-selling book, A Single Day of Peace. Together, they discuss how a capitalist can align with Catholicism and the role of spirituality in achieving business success. Can worldly possessions alone make a man happy? Is wealth enough? Where does DEI fit in the Bible? Where do we put spirituality in a world of division? Tune in to this episode as it offers a unique perspective on how to balance the pursuit of wealth with the values of Catholicism.

      <title>Drop the Rock of Stress with Scott Anderson</title>
      <link>https://www.youmattertochrist.com/blog</link>
      <description>This episode of the YOU MATTER To Christ Podcast (formerly Living A Better Story) features Scott Anderson, Founder and CEO of Doubledare Executive Coaching and Consulting. He focuses on helping business leaders avoid burnout and reclaim their energy for fulfillment at work and in life.
He talks about the inevitability of having negative thoughts and how these can cause burnout and dissatisfaction in our lives.
 
HIGHLIGHTS

Scott's advice to the younger "Scott"

You're exactly where you're supposed to be so have faith

What burnout is about

How to recover from burnout

 
QUOTES
Scott: "I could choose fear or I could choose faith. But it's not inevitable, it's not like I don't have a say in the way I experience my day and my life. It takes practice and it takes discipline and, really, I think what it takes is having made a mountain of mistakes more than anything else."
Scott: "We have to multiple times a day, even take 5 or 10 seconds to completely drop the stress. Otherwise, it's this biochemical cycle and the psychological cycle of having unrelieved stress that ultimately results in this bone-tired exhaustion."
Scott: "Instead we have to shift our whole basis of living and action and focus on our values instead of our thoughts and emotions. In that way, we will always do what matters most to us. But it's a shift, most of us are addicted to listening to our thoughts and emotions and responding accordingly."

QUOTES
Mary Anne on looking back and feeling God's presence: "I always share with particularly women, if you look in the rear-view mirror, look over your left shoulder. You'll see that He was with you all the time."
Mary Anne's insight on understanding God's timing: "God uses every aspect of your life to draw Him closer to you. And then you really fully understand the peaks and you know that you're not walking alone."
Mary Anne on a time God undeniably showed up: "When I was finished, I just started laughing because I was in this zone of God. And He laughed with me and it was a joyous laugh. Like I was so excited I did this and this would have had to be God."

      <title>All You Have To Do Is Ask with Bikram Mishra</title>
      <link>https://www.youmattertochrist.com/blog</link>
      <description>This episode of the YOU MATTER To Christ Podcast features Bikram Mishra, CEO of Evolution Laboratories LLC. He shares how he was pulled into a string of scenarios that ended with him getting sentenced the maximum penalty, a consequence that didn't actually match the situation.
Bikram shares how this whole story progressed, from serving 12 years to learning the lessons throughout the whole experience, as well as dwelling in God's presence all throughout the journey.
 
HIGHLIGHTS

Introducing Evolution Laboratories

The worst 15 seconds of Bikram's life

Serving 12 years and the lessons learned

Feeling God's forgiveness of our past, present, and future sins

 
QUOTES
Bikram: "It's rough because broken people are the ones that need a listening ear and compassion, but we're also the hardest to deal with because we're broken and we've admitted that and accepted it. A lot of people are still living in a facade where everything's fine and they're superficial. But, no judgment, I was there and I would happen to be like that if I'm not careful."
 
Bikram: "That's the hardest part of it. Waiting gives that sinful flesh part of us the opportunity to just get up in there and really sink its teeth into us. And the Spirit is there guiding us patiently, saying 'God is with you' and to have faith in the process."
 
Bikram: "God obviously has the component to deal with humans that involves us being away for a long period of time before we're actually fit for the service that he wants us to do."

      <title>Your Perspective Helps You Control Your Life with Amir Reiter</title>
      <link>https://www.livingabetterstory.org/</link>
      <description>This episode of the YOU MATTER To Christ Podcast features Amir Reiter, CEO of CloudTask. He talks about setting up expectations for relationships and how challenges in many of those areas in life can help us grow.
He shares that many of the prominent people that we look up to have suffered in some way and this inspired growth in them. These moments of suffering are impactful in revealing the choice to get yourself to a higher and better point in life.
 
HIGHLIGHTS

What Amir's younger self would say to him now

Controlling your perspective to fuel growth

Faith and being inherently good

What would he be doing in the next few years

 
QUOTES
Amir: "Humans are not designed to grow off of feeling good, they just aren't. And if you look at history, it's pain and suffering that puts us forward. I already know that it's never going to be good enough because there's no such thing as a ten. Because a ten becomes a seven to us and that's what drives us to look for that ten that doesn't exist."
Amir: "Yeah, but no one teaches this stuff in school, right? Our brain is really undertaught like we don't talk about consciousness and how to control these things. I definitely think you're not supposed to have all the answers but humans' capabilities are limitless."
Amir: "Sometimes we're just uncomfortable with our power so we have to try to describe things but I don't need that. I'm okay with it, you know? I think our purpose is a lot different than we think about if that makes sense"

      <title>Moments of Realization with Paul Michalski</title>
      <link>https://www.youmattertochrist.com/blog</link>
      <description>This episode of the YOU MATTER To Christ Podcast features Paul Michalski, Founder of Integrous LLC. Sometimes, it takes a massive sledgehammer to wake you up to even the smallest realizations.
Paul shares the story of when he realized that his marriage was in a downward spiral. He tells of the profound experiences God showed him to get through this and other hardships later on in his life. He also talks about what Integrous LLC does and how they advise leaders on how to lead faithfully. 
 
HIGHLIGHTS

Experiences growing up and how others would describe Paul

The moment of realization that his marriage was spiraling down

When God showed and taught him not to give up

The focus of Integrous

 
QUOTES
Paul: "The third thing, thankfully, is I did something I had not done in a long time is I cried out to God to help me. And that moment changed the rest of my life."
Paul: "I've lost count of the number of people whose lives have been transformed because in a moment of desperation they said, God if you're real, now would be a really good time to show me."
Paul: "God would show up to just show me in a way that I would understand, 'just don't give up.' The lesson I learned was so often I think we give up on the brink of success. That we give up just at that last moment."

      <title>Work Is an Opportunity to Connect and Show Love with Dan Bruder</title>
      <link>https://www.youmattertochrist.com/blog</link>
      <description>This episode of the YOU MATTER To Christ Podcast features Dan Bruder, Founder of Blendification and author of The Blendification System. Dan shares the concept that we need to look at how to blend work and life instead of just focusing on work-life balance. 
He shares about his early childhood environment and how it influenced his story. He also talks about a particular night when God showed up for him that involved Bible verses and a cartoon about Jesus. All of these experiences led Dan create a system that blends work and life in all aspects including faith, career, and even usual daily activities.
 
HIGHLIGHTS

The advantage of growing up in a tough environment

Connection as a primary driver for people

An odd connection between a verse and a cartoon

What faith means to Dan

 
QUOTES
Dan: "The message there was 'man shall not live on bread alone.' So I was stressed about my job and the recognition there was life isn't just about that. There's much more to life."
Dan: "The truth is there's some level of ambiguity to this and we have to make what I consider to be a leap of faith. So it's having trust in something that I can't see and knowing that I don't have all the answers."
Dan: "We're all created for good works. We're actually created to do good things and we call that our vocation, calling, or what have you, and if we look at our time we spend over 40 percent of our time on work-related activities. So if we're going to do anything good in life we need to do it through work."

      <title>Using Difficult Experiences to be a Blessing to Others with Juanita Headley</title>
      <link>https://www.youmattertochrist.com/blog</link>
      <description>This episode of the YOU MATTER To Christ Podcast features Juanita Headley, Founder and CEO of Changing Cases. She is an international speaker on human trafficking and a pro bono lawyer focusing on cases around immigration and false incarceration. 
Juanita shares about the impactful moments throughout her life that brought her to prison ministry, becoming a pro bono lawyer, and eventually starting the Changing Cases organization. She talks about the time when she was confined for 8 days and the undeniable way God showed up then. 
She also talks about her book, Can You Keep a Secret? Here she tackles the difficulties she has faced in her life that led her to educate and empower individuals against sex trafficking and sexual abuse. She ends by discussing what faith means to her and how God has been present even in the most difficult times. 
 
HIGHLIGHTS

Start of Juanita's prison ministry

The negative impact of abuse

The many ways God shows up

What faith means not only for service but in daily life

 
QUOTES
Juanita: "Sometimes I tell people a white lie that I'm God's favorite but he doesn't have any favorites. But I am so blessed just by the way he shows up."
Juanita: "I want to ensure that I'm not exploited ever again. But I want to protect other children and so I believe that despite the negatives, despite the effects it had on me, the Lord has allowed me to use my story."
Juanita: "For the last 10 years, I've been living like a Luke chapter 10 Christian. I've traveled the world for 10 years without a paid job, I've never worked illegally, and the Lord has provided so much. So for me, knowing how real he is and seeing him show up consistently, it's not easy obeying. But as my pastor said, it's a lot harder to disobey."

      <title>Finding God's Presence in Music and Faith with James Burkhardt</title>
      <link>https://www.youmattertochrist.com/blog</link>
      <description>This episode of the YOU MATTER To Christ Podcast features James Burkhardt, President of Orphaned Heart Ministries and founder of the SNT Radio. SNT, short for "Spirit and Truth", has been streaming online 24/7 since Memorial Day of 2009.
James talks about his early passion for baseball and music. It wasn't all sunshine and rainbows though as his parents went out of their way to discourage him from playing music. Ultimately, he continued to foster this love for singing in church, especially during Christmas time.
He also shares about always keeping the idea of servant leadership in mind while being in executive positions throughout his life. He mentions learning about humbling himself and being a doer of the Word, not just being a role model.
HIGHLIGHTS

What started his life-long journey into music

Understanding God's presence after missing church

Being a servant in a position of leadership.

Taking the path less traveled

QUOTES
James: "Don't lose your childlike faith. Don't lose the joy of discovery or the joy of just being free in your mind and with your body. Go out and enjoy nature because sometimes you can be focused on the next project or the current project, you lose track of what you really need."
James: "At that young age, I could understand the presence of God's spirit in church, but especially at Christmas time. It was like, for a few weeks everyone became totally different, kind, and God's spirit kind of permeated the earth."
James: "I found that God loves a humble and contrite heart. So even though you've accomplished a lot, you're supposed to not be braggadocious about it or drawing attention to yourself."

      <title>Nature Can Be the Greatest Teacher with Dr. Deborah Fryer</title>
      <link>https://www.youmattertochrist.com/blog</link>
      <description>This episode of the YOU MATTER To Christ Podcast features Dr. Deborah Fryer, a Doctor of Philosophy in Comparative Literature, mindset coach, and an award-winning filmmaker. She is also the founder of the Anatomy of Money system, training entrepreneurs for ease, abundance, and freedom in life and business.
Deborah shares all about how nature helped her realize her aspirations and allowed her to be in one with herself. She talks about her "should haves" and why she didn't handle money as well as she should have even with her many qualifications. She explains how nature eventually taught her to let these thoughts go.
HIGHLIGHTS

Growing up in snowy Minnesota and seeing the effects of climate change

Gaining realizations by embracing nature

Knowing that you're right where you're supposed to be  

Understanding the 'oneness' of all

QUOTES
Deborah: "Nature is not productive 24/7 and I had been running my business as if I didn't have to follow the laws of nature. I was often working round the clock for clients. And what I came to understand was that I was operating against the laws of nature. I was just giving and giving some more and not allowing myself to receive."
Deborah: "I had only been giving, I haven't been allowing myself to receive. I had only been giving, I haven't been allowing myself to rest. And I hadn't allowed myself to just be. I was so in the mode of doing, doing, doing, I didn't even know how to be."
Deborah: "Whenever we're taking a big risk, we feel this click and it often is at the heart and it's often at the solar plexus. And that's by design because it's like our body is saying, 'I got you' and the squeeze is actually the catalyst that's going to get us to the next level."

She is also the founder of the Anatomy of Money system, training entrepreneurs for ease, abundance, and freedom in life and business. Deborah shares all about how nature helped her realize her aspirations and allowed her to be in one with herself. She talks about her "should haves" and why she didn't handle money as well as she should have even with her many qualifications. She explains how nature eventually taught her to let these thoughts go. HIGHLIGHTS Growing up in snowy Minnesota and seeing the effects of climate changeGaining realizations by embracing natureKnowing that you're right where you're supposed to be  Understanding the 'oneness' of all QUOTES Deborah: "Nature is not productive 24/7 and I had been running my business as if I didn't have to follow the laws of nature. I was often working round the clock for clients. And what I came to understand was that I was operating against the laws of nature. I was just giving and giving some more and not allowing myself to receive." Deborah: "I had only been giving, I haven't been allowing myself to receive. I had only been giving, I haven't been allowing myself to rest. And I hadn't allowed myself to just be. I was so in the mode of doing, doing, doing, I didn't even know how to be." Deborah: "Whenever we're taking a big risk, we feel this click and it often is at the heart and it's often at the solar plexus. And that's by design because it's like our body is saying, 'I got you' and the squeeze is actually the catalyst that's going to get us to the next level."

      <title>Finding Faith &amp; Discovering The Things That Truly Matter with Rick Barnett</title>
      <link>https://www.youmattertochrist.com/blog</link>
      <description>This episode of the YOU MATTER To Christ Podcast features Rick Barnett, Founder of Rep-Lite, a contract sales and service company providing salesforce solutions in the medical industry. Instead of using the CEO title, Rick considers himself more as a "steward" for this faith-based organization.
He was driven by his dad to become a major league pitcher when he was young and through that, he always had a passion and drive for any endeavor. He shares how this passion helps with his goals and how it naturally transcended to his business.
Rick also shares his experiences working with his Christian counselor and its immediate effect on his view of life in general. He details the premise behind running a faith-based company and never getting a pushback when it comes to employees' beliefs.
HIGHLIGHTS

Passion to become a major league pitcher at a young age

The realization of searching for significance in the wrong place

Going on a life-changing journey with a Christian counselor

Putting faith in God's word

The philosophy and execution of bringing his faith to work

QUOTES
Rick: "I was focused on the things I thought would satisfy my soul and I thought were significant. And what I realized only 10 or 12 years ago is that my significance has nothing to do with my salary, nothing to do with my title, and it was really a heart transformation if you will."
Rick: "This world and all the outside influence that we get, I think having someone who is honest, caring, and faith-based to not speak at us but to speak in us, is really valuable."
Rick: "Faith is my only solid ground. Everything else can shift and shake and rattle but the aspect of faith and believing in something I can't feel, touch, or see, it's a bedrock. It's a foundation."

      <title>Discovering And Manifesting The Real You with Ricco McAdory</title>
      <link>https://www.youmattertochrist.com/blog</link>
      <description>This episode of the YOU MATTER To Christ Podcast features Ricco McAdory, CEO and Founder of Davidic Covenant Speaks, keynote speaker, and author of the book Your God-Given Identity.
He shares how he has always known about being a miracle baby. However, it was when he was already 40 years old that he found out that his mother did not know she was pregnant until the last trimester. With this, Ricco learned to unlock solutions by focusing not around him, but within him.
He also explains how during his time in the navy, miles from home in the middle of the ocean, he finally said yes to God's call to minister His word. All of this led to his passion for helping other people realize their purpose, no matter what it may be.
HIGHLIGHTS

Loving basketball and music at an early age 

Learning about being a miracle baby at a crucial time in his life

Saying yes to God's calling during his time in the US Navy 

The core pieces of the book, Your God-Given Identity  

QUOTES
Ricco: "That let me realize that my future was not ahead of me but it was inside of me, just in seed form. And I had to say yes to activate the seed that was already there."
Ricco: "Faith is such a very important part. You're going to hit rough patches in life to where you can't figure it out on your own. You're going to need His higher wisdom to help you see what's already there. And once you say yes and surrender, the very thing you were praying for could be staring your right in the face."
Ricco: "He put both the idea and the purpose on the inside of you therefore you came to earth already loaded. So there's not a time you're going to be wondering, 'I don't have.' It's not that you don't have, it's there but it's coming in a way that you haven't recognized yet."

      <title>How Perseverance Leads Us to Hope with Hannah Fordice</title>
      <link>https://www.youmattertochrist.com/blog</link>
      <description>HIGHLIGHTS

Having a vivid imagination as a child and being a natural leader

A year of turbulence because of suffering and untimely losses

Having the ability to carry hope for one's self and for others

Working in advocacy and learning more about victims' experiences

QUOTES
Hannah: "In that moment, when you're really just clinging on by a thread is where you really meet God because you realize you have to hold on to something bigger."
Hannah: "Eventually, when you've persevered through suffering, it brings about the ability to carry hope for people when they can't carry it for themselves. And not in a trite way but in a way that honors the fact that they have suffered or lost."
Hannah: "The church is one of the places that really pushes healthy marriages and we talk about marriage counseling and marriage retreats. But we don't really spend a lot of time talking about what happens when it goes sideways. And I think that's something important to incorporate in."

      <title>Faith Is Knowing That Tomorrow Offers New Life with Bryce McKinley</title>
      <link>https://www.youmattertochrist.com/blog</link>
      <description>HIGHLIGHTS

The deaths of his child and wife and surviving a suicide attempt

You hear from God when and how you need to hear Him

Losing it all and gaining it right back again

Faith that tomorrow offers a new chance at life 

QUOTES
Bryce: "We call ourselves human being, but yet, most of us are just human doing. And so, when we take a step back and be that individual that we are called to be, for me, I'm an evangelist for our organizations, for our companies, for my nonprofit that I have, for my family, for my church and faith, I am a consummate evangelist."
Bryce: "In 2006, had a son of my wife, we were in an open relationship at the time, ended up being killed due to negligent medical homicide. And all I knew how to deal with, coping with things like that was to work harder and do more. The human doing versus the human being."
"So I did more, I do more, I do more, do more work, do more contracts, do more consulting, and I wasn't there for my wife. And by Friday, June 13th, 2008, I'll never forget I was on my way home from an event I was speaking at, and I get a call that she had taken her life. And over the next 18 months, my life would spiral out of control."
Bryce: "My God, he's a gangster, you look in the book of Mark and he kicked over the change tables and cussed out the priest at the temple because they were defiling His house. My God is kind of a badass. But that's I need to be talked to and that's how he talks to me and how I talk to Him."

      <title>Life Is Measured in Its Richness, Not Duration with Rebecca Corbin</title>
      <link>https://www.youmattertochrist.com/blog</link>
      <description>HIGHLIGHTS

An early drive for entrepreneurship and teaching

Disease in the family as the Buzzsaw moment and its silver lining

God reveals Himself in nature, Faith is divine order

QUOTES
Rebecca: "If I started chasing a dream that wasn't meant for me, if it was a job or it was sort of educational path, it does create a lot of misery because sometimes the lock in what we're meant to do in life, you have to have that frictionless sort of surrender."
Rebecca: "In my own life, I would think back on that and I would think about how that makes us a better person, and how it makes life richer because it's not really the length of your life, it's how much you enjoy each day."
Rebecca: "I think another cause of misery is sometimes comparing ourselves to other people or what we think is the ideal family, because who hasn't thought that?"

Embrace all of who you are and let God show it to you

Charisse: "Allow God to show you the multifacetedness of you, of who you are, the gifts that you have, the way that you show up in your family, the way that you show up in your work, the way you show up in your community, and in the world."

      <title>Faith Is Risking It All to Do God's Will with Charles Crouch</title>
      <link>https://www.livingabetterstory.org/</link>
      <description>HIGHLIGHTS

Leading roundtable discussions, marriage, and family retreats

Near-death in a motorcycle accident and giving life over to the Lord

Missing death in Iraq due to a flat tire was God's intervention

Faith is risk to do what the Lord tells you to do

QUOTES
Charles: "I went septic and I was septic for over 40 hours, and I should've died. They put me on a drug-induced coma in which I had an out-of-body experience and I looked down on my own body. And I remember it. I looked down and there was some people praying for me around my bedside."
Charles: "We should've practiced our tire changes a little bit more but it took us about 15 minutes and people are running all around. And Chad, while we're there, a Marine convoy goes past us and a mile down the road, their front vehicle gets bitten half by a roadside bomb. They lose all the guys in their front vehicle."
Charles: "It's the best ride you'll ever have is riding the wave of the Lord. You'll do everything in your life that doesn't make sense, but you'll do it because that's where you're supposed to be. And it's an exhilarating ride. The Lord's wave is funner than any other wave."

      <itunes:subtitle>This episode of the Living a Better Story Podcast features Charles Crouch, former Navy SEAL, current Chapter President of Truth at Work, and full-time husband and father to 2 kids. Charles' buzzsaw moment brought him to the brink of death, but it was not in God's plan to let him go just yet.

He shares how transformative this motorcycle accident was in revealing to him God's undeniable love. During his rehab, Charles decided to give his life over to Jesus. Charles also gets vulnerable by sharing another near-death experience as a SEAL in Iraq but his life was spared while Marines died.

      <title>Building a Farm as an Act of Kindness for Ex Inmates with Jarvis Guthrie</title>
      <link>https://www.youmattertochrist.com/blog</link>
      <description>HIGHLIGHTS

Living the qualities of a good person who helps others

The first day in prison was formative in humility

Meeting Pastor Rod and learning not to take blessings for granted

Sharing the word of God and showing acts of kindness

QUOTES
Jarvis: "My mom, she would give me $20 a week. That was my commissary. $20 is a lot of money in prison. I was eating. I was eating very well. But each of my bunkies and and my roommates, they were poor. They had nobody writing them letters, they would get no mail, no commissary, and that's really turned my heart seeing how fortunate I was."
Jarvis: "Going to prison, I got my vision. So a vision keeps you disciplined. That's the short version. The Bible says that people perish because of lack of vision, a lack of knowledge, so I stepped into that, which is so amazing."

      <title>Sobriety and Faith—Find God in Rock Bottom with Billie Dyson</title>
      <link>https://www.youmattertochrist.com/blog</link>
      <description>HIGHLIGHTS

Sticking needles in his arms was rock bottom

An arrest for battery burglary revealed God's forgiveness to Billie

Your $1 and prayer shows a homeless person that God still loves them

Pressure washing and time with God to reintegrate into society 

QUOTES
Billie: "I thought I was only supposed to smoke a joint in my life. Now I'm literally having that stuff going on in my veins that was a huge speed bump, but at the same time it got so horrible that I couldn't even stop."
Billie: "I have to live faith by faith. Everything has to be through faith. Without faith, I wouldn't be here today. I would literally be dead. Faith plays the biggest part of my whole entire life."
Billie: "That $5, even that $1 to help somebody could miraculously change him from the inside to show them that somebody cares for them. I would pool off to the side of the road, I would say the Holy Spirit led me to you, so they know that wow, even Jesus still loves little old me."

      <title>The Apartment Lady Builds Houses and Gives Hope with Lashondra Graves</title>
      <link>https://www.youmattertochrist.com/blog</link>
      <description>HIGHLIGHTS

Multiple grammar schools: Challenges taught Lashondra to be present

Pioneering social media marketing for fundraising

A vision at 8 years old of elevation and belief in God

Becoming a foster parent is Lashondra's purpose on Earth

The pillars of the Apartment and Housing Rentals Foundation


QUOTES
Lashondra: "The first vision I could remember, I was walking down an aisle at a church... And, when I got up to the front, people then believed God was real. I could feel it. And when I got up to the front at the altar, He lifted me up and everybody started believing that God was real."
Lashondra: "Children, they're sponges. And we all matter, that you matter. We all have a job to do on this Earth. And so, if God put it in your heart to become a foster parent, then do that, please. If he put it in your heart to adopt, then do that. But don't it for any other reason."
Lashondra: "We've given you all the tools in the first two pillars for you to understand what wealth means. And then, we do the community reinvestment, that's where we are buying properties, helping our clients become owners in our properties, and helping our clients become members, real members, of a neighborhood or a society."

      <title>Becoming an Adoptive Father Is God's Blessing with Dustin DeVries</title>
      <link>https://www.youmattertochrist.com/blog</link>
      <description>HIGHLIGHTS

Infertility: Opening up to the blessings of adoption

Sharing the 77Pray App and working on the website

Faith: Living your life the way Christ wants you to live it 


QUOTES
Dustin: "If the lineage of Israel, God's chosen people, is good enough to have an adopted ancestor who is also our savior, why am I so hung up on this whole idea of foster care and adoption?"
Dustin: "Reaching out to others and having fellowship with others because then that brings out more perspective, and you get advice. And a lot of times I think some of that is straight from God. He's using other people to speak to you."

      <itunes:subtitle>This episode of the Living a Better Story (Now YOU MATTER To Christ) Podcast features Dustin DeVries, Co-Founder and Technology Consultant at Caffeine Interactive Technologies. The greatest blessings can come from the most unlikely circumstances. Dustin experienced this on two main occasions, first with the realization of he and his wife's infertility and cancer. He grappled with accepting adoption as an option. However, he soon opened up to the idea when he realized that even God's chosen people accepted a man not of Israel's lineage to be their savior.   </itunes:subtitle>

      <title>Unite in Healing and Allow God to Direct Lives with Sharon and Jim Couts</title>
      <link>https://www.youmattertochrist.com/blog</link>
      <description>HIGHLIGHTS

Jim is hit by lightning and fell 80 feet 

Starting the You Are Amazing group and Just Allow God's Journey

Faith: Discipline in the love of Christ and complete trust in His will

Chad's son suffers third degree burns and prompts Chad to create 77Pray 

Dealing with loss and leaving it up to God

Writing You Matter and healing people from all over the world


QUOTES
Jim: "I define faith as discipline, discipline in the love of Christ, because if we are not disciplined within our love for Christ, who can we love? Is the question I would ask myself if I was in doubt of God. Now, if you love God, everything falls into place. That is how faith is always driven in my life."
Sharon: "Faith is all about trusting him in every detail of your life. And so now it's just like, okay, God, I'm trusting you to do this. I'm trusting you to do this. If it's your will, like this property that we're purchasing, if it is your will, then let's go. If it's not in your will, if it's not what you want for us then close the deal. I don't want it."
Sharon: "Everybody just wants to be loved and a lot of people just don't feel that love. They feel emptiness and so, I think what you're planning on doing or what God is directing you to do, I just pray that it really does heal this world, the United States, and even the world, because definitely something needs to change the way it is because people are hurting so bad."

On the topic of faith, Sharon and Jim give their own poignant definitions of it and share how faith has helped them through the most trying times, like Sharon's career shift and Jim's healing. They talk about the trials of their lives, from Chad's son's burns, healing from COVID, and moving on from the loss of loved ones. Chad also shares how he created the 77Pray app that brought together people from all over the world to unite in his son's healing, and the evangelization that is happening in India, also with help from his app.</itunes:subtitle>

      <title>Let Go and Let God with Angus Nelson</title>
      <link>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymXyj_2pmQo</link>
      <description>03:12 Being intentional about processing your emotions
06:24 Slow down, question your emotions, and talk about it 
22:58 Experience is the best teacher
31:20 Connecting with yourself takes a lot of emotional intelligence 
34:24 God loves you, whether or not you know Him
37:20 You don't have to earn God's love
39:28 Do not diminish God's capacity to shine his light through you
42:02 Love God with your heart, soul, and mind
44:53 Taking care of yourself is also honoring God
46:16 Seeing yourself from a more conscious state will improve your life
48:16 What it means to evolve as a man 
57:09 Expressing love not to please God, but through God
1:03:48 Give up your need to be right

QUOTES
09:18 Angus: "Your life is a reflection of your past beliefs. And so what you're living today is actually living in the past because all the stories that you have told about yourself, you've convinced yourself into a subconscious state of your identity."
 
31:36 Angus: "Going through my business and, you know, burying myself into trying to carry the weight of the world on my own shoulders, like I was doing it all wrong. And for all the wrong reasons, I didn't ask for help. And I didn't understand how my energy internally was mounting against me and I was creating my own pain."
34:20 Chad: "You still feel him, whether you've read the Bible or not, because it's not about reading the Bible necessarily. That's all good. It helps you get closer to the word, but you are talked to, you were quote unquote on a desert island, which was under your tree and in your own head and God, and yet God found you." 
36:44 Angus: "I'm of the opinion now where it's like by grace, you are saved and it's not, you, you start living a life out of the expression of that caliber of love. And the more you feel loved, the more you act right, do right, be right."
39:15 Angus: "I have to walk in dominion and authority and glory and power. And I have to let my light shine because God has made me a city on a hill that cannot be hid."
45:31 Angus: "Our bodies require this kind of focus and that is in the minds and in the health of our emotions, you know, mind, will and emotions. If you aren't caring for those things, then you can get exhausted. You can get distracted, you can get into really dark places because you're trying to burn candles at both ends."
1:11:38 Angus: The more that we put pressure on ourselves or on others to perform for some kind of an accolade, acceptance or validation is the moment we are caught in religion and legalism."

      <itunes:subtitle>This episode of the YOU MATTER To Christ Podcast features Angus Nelson, CEO of Evolve Men Coaching. Angus talks about his personal journey, including the circumstances that lead to his first divorce, and how his brokenness led him to a path of enlightenment. Down on his luck and contemplating how to end his life, Angus said he heard a voice that told him that this wasn’t the end for him. He felt that he had a huge load of burden lifted off from him, and he understood what it meant to let go of ego and the need to strive for accolades. Angus shifted his mindset from working hard to gain acceptance, to accepting His grace and letting God shine His light through him. Angus helps show other people how to achieve the same clarity, get rid of any limiting beliefs, and realize the boundless vision of God.</itunes:subtitle>

QUOTES
09:18 Angus: "Your life is a reflection of your past beliefs. And so what you're living today is actually living in the past because all the stories that you have told about yourself, you've convinced yourself into a subconscious state of your identity."
 
31:36 Angus: "Going through my business and, you know, burying myself into trying to carry the weight of the world on my own shoulders, like I was doing it all wrong. And for all the wrong reasons, I didn't ask for help. And I didn't understand how my energy internally was mounting against me and I was creating my own pain."
34:20 Chad: "You still feel him, whether you've read the Bible or not, because it's not about reading the Bible necessarily. That's all good. It helps you get closer to the word, but you are talked to, you were quote unquote on a desert island, which was under your tree and in your own head and God, and yet God found you." 
36:44 Angus: "I'm of the opinion now where it's like by grace, you are saved and it's not, you, you start living a life out of the expression of that caliber of love. And the more you feel loved, the more you act right, do right, be right."
39:15 Angus: "I have to walk in dominion and authority and glory and power. And I have to let my light shine because God has made me a city on a hill that cannot be hid."
45:31 Angus: "Our bodies require this kind of focus and that is in the minds and in the health of our emotions, you know, mind, will and emotions. If you aren't caring for those things, then you can get exhausted. You can get distracted, you can get into really dark places because you're trying to burn candles at both ends."
1:11:38 Angus: The more that we put pressure on ourselves or on others to perform for some kind of an accolade, acceptance or validation is the moment we are caught in religion and legalism."

QUOTES
17:26 "Will we be safe here? And there was a decision point. I almost turned around and went back in the plane, but I realized now that the kind of commitment that is required of military families and military spouses is every bit as all-consuming as it is for the military member."
34:43 "We decided that if you're still having problems by December, you can come home, but you've always told us that you cannot quit and you can't come home. I was like, oh my God, I hung up. And like TC said, that was a defining moment in your life." 
39:38 "I randomly opened my Bible and it opened to Jeremiah, the first chapter, and my eyes went to verse four and it was like the earth shook. Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you."
41:21 "The mandate that was placed on my life that night was, I mean, it was a completely life changing experience. And I realized that God does know who we are.
He knows us by name. It doesn't matter where we are, Chad. He knows us personally."

QUOTES
13:18 "I got the (ball boy) job and I come in the next day to get my uniform, go into the clubhouse, get ready, practice with the players. And I'm like, holy cow, I got this job. And I often say too many people got tired of hearing from me. God because I kept praying over and over, and Pat Kelly's office got tired of here from me calling him." 
16:10 "I won first place in the inspirational and Christian category. You know, candidly, I'm not a writer. I really am not. I'm a software professional, but I wrote a book, got divine guidance, and all these good things have happened with the book."
19:24 "Many people that have a lot of financial success are not happy because they're not living by the right principles. So they're frustrated. Maybe they're arrogant. Their disposition isn't good. They're not thankful."
22:27 "I always say is that ultimately the goal of the book is to help make the world a better place by helping people find their better place. And if they read my book and they're inspired and they find a better place within themselves, their own spirit, the God inside them, they'll do more for others."
26:34 “I remember when I first started working with you, people told me... oh, you get to work with Steve. He's going to help you make a lot of money… I think as we both go into the second round of nine holes a week, we make the turn, hopefully what they'll say now is, oh yeah, if you get to work with Steve, he'll help you with your spirituality.”

37:25 "There's something very intentional, I think, in the faith journey between our relationship with the Lord and seeing him move in ways that really activate kind of the gifts and the calling that he's given us."

QUOTES
05:44 "My personal mission was kinda what I just quoted to you, 'to impact, to influence, and to educate.' I think it's more than helping athletes achieve their physical goal, their sports goals, but it's being able to see they became better people because of their involvement in sports."
11:03 "Athletes especially at that level, we're talking about NFL, are very mentally wired to read and react and then respond quickly. Which can work very well in a number of other fields. But what they also have to learn as a life skill is to be self-disciplined and self-controlled, have personal responsibility, make good choices. I wish those were the hashtags at the back of the helmets."
17:23 "As kids, we have an interpretation about our reality at that time. And then as an adult, we look back at that time and we go, 'wow, that's not accurate,' you know? And then we put blockers in our own mindset to our own capability whether it's delivering value, making money, making relationships we get in. It's all inside."
20:05 "I want them to understand self-control, personal responsibility, they gotta be able to manage their choices well in life both on the field, off the field, on the court, of the court, and those type of things."
26:49 "If you read scripture then you would have an understanding that God is still good even though these bad things are happening because He allows free will. And that's a hard concept for some people, but I think once you overcome that or look at God where He tells who He really is ... you see him in those 10 minutes, you see him in those dark spaces because He is still there."
28:27 "It's just trusting Him with those life decisions to guide the transformation that I have experienced because of faith. To be a very broken young woman, to a single mom of strength and boldness. A women's football world champion raising two kids of my own while building my business ... Only God by my side could I have done and done that."

      <title>Faith is Everything - Bringing Different Groups of People Together with Andrea Sitzes</title>
      <link>https://www.youmattertochrist.com/blog</link>
      <description>HIGHLIGHTS
01:44 Andrea's childhood life growing up on stage with a musical family
04:15 Business concierge, liaison, and a collaborative partnership
05:45 Unforgettable memories brought realizations and learning to walk on two feet
11:09 StrengthsFinder test, individualization, and how people are important and what inspires Andrea to chart the direction to the next 20-30 years
13:20 An undeniable time God showed up, a blind date with the future husband, "the string to my balloon": The unexpected is already planned by God
16:00 Faith, Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey, and the true north

QUOTES
03:14 "I think just being comfortable being the voice that is something that is mandated in the job, you have to learn that I think as a leader as well. There are a lot of people who can do that out of pride or you can do that out of humility ... being able to link all those stories and bring a voice to their history and start magnifying that is a huge part of that role."
09:02 "Recovering from physical things that have definitely taught me a lot. But becoming independent and becoming comfortable with who I was as a human at that point in my life really set the foundation and allowed me to grow in so many ways moving forward."
12:12 "There are people that have to play a role in the team, just how Christ says we're all part of the body and if one of you fails or one is weak. Then you can't be effective."
15:31 "Sometimes you have to face these traumatic buzz saws in life to recognize that ... those are the times where when you go, 'God, what do you need me to learn from this. Your will be done.' And those are the most magical moments that can happen in your life."
17:01 "Whether you're in a good season and you have to keep the faith that is not of your own, or whether you're really in a place of desperation. There is a strength that can be found when you only reach the end of your own ... and what's beyond you."
17:41 "When those red lights or those yellow lights, you look back and see them turn green, faith is what gets you there. Faith is what keeps you breathing and I'm so grateful to have that tethering me and giving me a true north."

QUOTES
04:09 "You can do some pretty cool things in life but, at the end of the day, I think that the core of joy really comes from being close to your family and being around people that you love."
06:13 "It's important to just keep in mind, God's going to supply us with whatever we need and it's important for us to be giving the rest back to the things that he's called us to give to. And that's going to be different for every single person."
16:50 "If I could go back to that time, I would completely have a different mindset and be extremely more grateful for the things that I had.

      <itunes:subtitle>This episode of the YOU MATTER To Christ Podcast features Cody Harvey, President and Chief Strategy Officer of Kennected and Co-Founder and CEO of Breakout. Some of life's most formative moments happen in childhood. Cody looks back on pivotal moments in his early life that taught him the value of unity and community.Even as he grew older, going broke did not break him. In fact, he learned the hard but hopeful lesson that being poor in money doesn't mean being poor in life. He learned gratitude and the authentic way human capital drives growth in a way that trumps money capital at every turn.Cody further shares other moments when he deviated from God's path, such as coming out broke after gambling in an unknown part of Miami. He shares the trials of this time and how, almost a year to the day, he returned to the city with a renewed sense of purpose surrounded by people who wanted what's best for him. Finally, Cody also shares some wisdom he has learned like being patient has its rewards, having faith that God will provide will reward you in the end, and practicing gratitude pays you back in many other different ways. </itunes:subtitle>

36:48 "There's a difference between going down a good path and a God path. And sometimes we're in a season because God needs us to be in that season so that he can sharpen us and he can equip us and he can empower us to do what he's called us to do."

      <title>A Leader’s Spiritual Journey Through Faith, Miracles, And Christianity With Candace Mae</title>
      <link>https://www.youmattertochrist.com/blog/a-leaders-spiritual-journey-through-faith-miracles-and-christianity-with-candace-mae</link>
      <description>When it seems like all hope is lost, we can only pray for a miracle. But what if we don’t recognize it? Maybe that’s the reason a lot of people are wallowing in self-pity or despair. If we could only discover and realize that we receive miracles every day, we could strengthen our faith and believe that God is the ultimate power to guide us to the right path we need to take. Chad Burmeister discusses powerful insights with Candace Mae around Christianity and our belief in God. Candace is a leadership and strategic business consultant, executive coach, and the author of the upcoming book, Heaven Within. In this episode, she dives into having a great relationship with Christ and shares how she copes with difficult situations in her life. She cites instances of an extremely painful process that she went through and how she found Christ amidst all of those. It’s not about the material things anymore. It’s not about having the nicest car or the most expensive bags. Life is about love and Christ.

      <link>https://www.youmattertochrist.com/blog/exploring-missing-conversations-that-heal-the-world-with-robert-strock</link>
      <description>The most important things are often left unsaid. Such is the irony of life where people miss so much because they fail to go deeper. Robert Strock fills in the gap with The Missing Conversation podcast, where he explores complex issues that continue to persist even as the world seemingly contains all the information and answers. From hunger to terrorism to immigration, and everything in between, Robert covers it all to provide, like the name of his other podcast and book, Awareness That Heals. In this episode, he joins Chad Burmeister to take us to the origin story of his passions and his mindset around living the best life he can for himself and the world moving forward. He then talks about the mission behind the Global Bridge Foundation and reflects on our ability to be significant with our wealth and make a greater impact. Follow Robert and Chad as they bring important conversations forward.

      <title>The CEO Only Does Three Things With Trey Taylor</title>
      <link>https://www.livingabetterstory.org/</link>
      <description>The CEO only does three things: culture, people, and numbers. Chad Burmeister’s guest today is Trey Taylor, the CEO of Taylor Insurance Services and author of A CEO Only Does Three Things. Trey discusses with Chad how, if you’re a CEO and you don’t like these three things, perhaps it’s time to reconsider and go back to what it is you love doing. If you want to increase the value of your business, you need to bring in people who love to do the things you hate doing. Life is more fulfilling when you find a career path that makes you happy rather than blindly doing what you’re told to do. Live a better story by following the God-given desires of your heart. Tune in!

In building up Nowspeed, a digital marketing company, he had to live frugally for a year with no income. He could've switched to plan B, but he was dedicated to helping other people succeed in their businesses with his expertise that he never gave up. Join in the conversation and let David inspire you to grow and explore. Tune in!

      <title>A Life-Defining Moment: Learning Accountability And Responsibility With Steve Parker</title>
      <link>https://www.youmattertochrist.com/blog/a-life-defining-moment-learning-accountability-and-responsibility-with-steve-parker</link>
      <description>There are certain lessons that we get in life that would define the rest of it moving forward. In this conversation with Chad Burmeister, Steve Parker, the CEO and founder of Levelwing, shares his life-defining moment when his father taught him a very important lesson in accountability and responsibility. When he was still a small kid, Steve used to roam around on the football field to pass the time. One day, he happened to enter the locker room and come across lots of pens and pencils lying around. He had a finders-keepers mentality and collected 70-80 of them. But then his father told him to apologize in front of the team and return what he'd stolen. To this day, Chad practices accountability and responsibility, as we all should. What’s your life-defining moment?

      <itunes:subtitle>There are certain lessons that we get in life that would define the rest of it moving forward. In this conversation with Chad Burmeister, Steve Parker, the CEO and founder of Levelwing, shares his life-defining moment when his father taught him a very important lesson in accountability and responsibility. When he was still a small kid, Steve used to roam around on the football field to pass the time. One day, he happened to enter the locker room and come across lots of pens and pencils lying around. He had a finders-keepers mentality and collected 70-80 of them. But then his father told him to apologize in front of the team and return what he'd stolen. To this day, Chad practices accountability and responsibility, as we all should. What’s your life-defining moment?</itunes:subtitle>

      <title>Timmy Bauer On Leaving Your Entrepreneurial Legacy Through Kid’s Books</title>
      <link>https://www.youmattertochrist.com/blog/timmy-bauer-on-leaving-your-entrepreneurial-legacy-through-kids-books</link>
      <description>Imagine using kid's storybooks as your business and having joy and monetization in the process. We are so focused on engaging in the grown-up life that we didn't even consider a kid's book for business. There will always be a kid no matter what era, and those kids will always love good storytelling. But what transpires when you tell a story about entrepreneurs, and you didn't exclude all those jargons away? You watch as your young readers throw aside your book. Timmy Bauer understands the exact emotion. In this episode, author and host of The Purpose-Driven Entrepreneur Timmy shares his story on growing enthusiasm to touch kids' hearts while storytelling exciting and unique topics like entrepreneurship. If you want to learn and incorporate his knowledgeable experience, hop in the conversation.
