Description
Hello! Welcome to The Determined People Podcast, hosted by John Harrell, bestselling author, inspirational speaker, blogger and now podcaster. The Determined People Podcast is a two-pronged approach to podcasting. Every day I offer a 30 second inspirational message designed to start your day the right way. It’s not rah-rah stuff or fluff. The messages are designed to make you think, to inspire you, and to sustain you as you face the unknown challenges of the day. Bi-weekly I post interviews with real people who have honest, relatable stories. People who are willing to share their experience, strength and hope from their own life’s difficulties. When you listen to their stories, it is my hope you think, if they made it, so can I. Our world needs hope, and everyone I meet has a story. All of us have faced difficulties. In fact, we are facing one now…the global pandemic which has compromised our lives, our mental health and has impacted all of us uniquely. By sharing our stories, we connect at the heart level. We are unguarded. And through podcasting, these stories are available whenever you need them. So let’s get started.

Do you feel near God or does He seem like He's nowhere to be found? Who moved? Hint...it wasn't God.
It's time to take the challenges our world faces and put them in the hands of the faith and philanthropic communities. More government is not the answer. The politicians created much of the mess we are in. But there are solutions.
Not everything we try will be a success. But we learn from the setbacks and the failures. Everything can be used...
When the pain of staying the same is greater than the pain of change, you will change. You have reached you breaking point.
There are heroes among us.
When actions align with words, trust is built. Trust is the foundation of relationships.
The devil is a real spiritual being. He wants to destroy us and everything good in our lives. We must fight back against his influence. And the good news? We know who wins in the end. In fact, the battle has already been won.
There is a certain kind of nut we should all develop an allergy to. And I'm not talking about peanuts.
The day we graduate is a special day. For 130 inmates, this coming Friday will be extra special!
There are moments in life that present themselves as the intersection of free will and purpose. Which road will you choose? It's always up to you to decide.
Conformity will bring you to mediocrity, nothing more. But there is more. Much more. Go find your purpose and pursue it with everything you have in you.
Our minds don't operate optimally if we are constantly bombarded with noise. Sometimes we just need to be quiet.
Keep your phone screen put away and your head up.
We make lists and cross off things as we accomplish them. But many times in life we are merely checking the box; existing rather than living a full life.
In today's episode I take a look inside The Book of James.
In 1997, IBM's Deep Blue defeated chess champion Garry Kasparov. This was a turning point for Artificial Intelligence. Today, AI has unlimited applications. But pay attention or the machine might win the battle for existence.
Old Faithful is the most famous geyser in the world. But today I am discussing a bigger, better kind of faithfulness.
See yourself as the person you were created to become. This applies no matter where you are in life. Consider the early life of Thomas Edison.
