Keep a File

Remember last week’s episode about what you drew on a piece of paper? Well, it caused a response that I didn’t expect. As usual, I felt like we should talk about it today. You’re listening to Living the Freedom Life podcast and this episode is the last of the double digits, we are on Episode number 99 and today’s title is “Keep a File”.

There are 4

If you’ve ever attended one of our classes or had very many coaching sessions, you’ve heard me say that “People only fall into 2 categories; people that either bring me closer to Jesus, or the other ones”.
Well, as any good coach would say, “Everyone needs a coach”. And I’m not immune to that statement. I’m included in “everyone”. Well, MY coach told me about 4 categories of people. I want to share them with you today. So, get a piece of paper and something to write with. Yeah, we are going analog today. Get ready! It doesn’t have to be fancy, just a yellow sticky note is all. Maybe a sharpie. You’re listening to Living the Freedom Life Podcast, this is episode 98 and today, I’m telling you, “There Are 4”.

Handling the Truth

Some people can’t handle the truth about themselves or others.
Some of you know me well. Through the years, you’ve watched me grow, walked with me, encouraged me, sharpened me, there’ve been some correction and a few swift kick in the pants.
Some of you know me through our Coaching practice, and as you know, as candid as I am and as open as I am about my life, we’ve grown to know each other pretty well in a short amount of time.
There are some of you who listen to this podcast and don’t know me at all, . . . yet.
And that’s okay. In fact, that’s why we produce this podcast, not only for me to open up, to share. You get to know me and then, I get to know you; for us to sharpen each other.
I love getting to know new people. But there is a risk involved in that.
You’re listening to Living the Freedom Life podcast. This is Ep 97 and today we are talking about Handling the Truth

Redemption

Did you ever see the bottom of an old glass bottle or can? You could get yourself a shiny nickel if you turned it back in. To a 5 year old, that’s like free money! And that is a great example of redeeming something. You turn in something that is used and you get something in return that has value!
Redemption is an important concept to understand as a follower of Christ, but if we only look at it through “Coke Bottle lenses”, we may be setting ourselves up for a great disappointment if we are not careful. You are listening to Living the Freedom Life podcast and today we are talking about Redemption.

Love Struck

Today is an extremely special day in the McMurray household. There will be consequences for me later, but I just can’t help myself. I have a story to tell. It is a foundational part of my personal Freedom Journey and I want to share it with you today. It has a lot to do with this song. You’re listening to Living the Freedom Life Podcast and this is Ep 95, Love Struck.

Love and Fear

Even if you’ve never cracked open a Bible in your life, you’ve probably heard the scripture in 1 John 4 that tells us “God is Love”. Well, to put it bluntly, we’ve lost sight of that. We have forgotten it. We’ve watered this section of scripture down so much, that it has become dangerous, spiritual malnutrition, to the point that we may not know what Love is.
Our view of what Love is has become so delicate and conditional. Love is meant to be powerful, robust, strong and a powerful transforming force. I don’t believe most people get to experience that. They wind up truly identifying with this song.
We are so desperate to experience this, we may be confusing it with something else. Something much different. Something drastically opposite of what it really is and meant to be. Fear.
When I say it like that, it seems outlandish. Well, maybe not.
You’re listening to Living the Freedom Life podcast and this is episode number 93. Today we’re talkin about Love and Fear.

The Growth Battle

We are creatures of habit. I know that you know this and probably have quite a few examples of this truth in your life. Some, you would even be willing to admit. Habit is one of the enemies of Growth.
I want to share with you today a topic that we commonly face at Kyle McMurray Coaching, and that is the unspoken, outwardly silent but inwardly violent battle for your Growth.
I’ve recently fought this battle and I want to share it with you. Sometimes that’s the best coaching, just sharing my story.
