This podcast is with local community, leader, and pastor, Houston Woodard. Houston is a stalwart in the Phoenix community, and his leader ship is second to none. The following podcast hits several different aspects that many of us are navigating right now in society. Although faith is a large part of many peoples’ lives, There are many people who struggle with “church hurt”, hypocrites, and bad leadership within churches. We delve into that and much more in this podcast. Houston breaks down what to look for, and why it is imperative not to put your trust in man, or a ‘building’ for that matter. We also discussed the impact of sports, and why it can be such a tremendous tool for change. Houston, at one time, oversaw parts of one of the most extensive sports ministries in the metropolitan Phoenix area. Houston also draws from his military experience, and shares a concept that is timeless. We also talk about church, the diversity in churches, and why church can feel lonely on Sundays. Today’s youth are also discussed, and the way individuals experience God is not (and cannot) be the same as some old-school methods that many of us are used to! If you are looking for an authentic conversation About topics that really matter, you’ve come to the right place. Enjoy!
During this chapel, we discuss how one of the most coveted traits in sports (unity) is achieved. In the entire sporting cosmos, whether you are talking about winning a Super Bowl, NBA Finals, NCAA championships, etc., you would be hard-pressed to find a team who has not figured out the cheat-code to achieving unity. It is very difficult to achieve monumental tasks without having buy-in and unity from a large group of players, coaches, and supporting staff. In this chapel, the primary ingredients that comprise unity are broken down: understanding, empathy, and action. The players learn in a very hands-on way why “understanding” directly impacts levels of unity. We also discuss the importance of listening and spending time with others. Some of the highest paid professionals in the world or sales people, and and an unlikely trait seems to emerge time and time again when you study them closely. We also break down the “7-4-11 Rule”, and how we can use that in our everyday lives. We are also taught the importance of empathy, and what the Bible says about being empathetic. There’s also an amazing example that highlights the effect of mirror neurons & soldiers (a very little known story that many people do not talk about). Ultimately the chapel ends with the importance of action, and how nothing matters (our knowledge, our words, etc.) if you do not accompany it with action!
When it comes to desirable qualities for athletes, strength is usually at the top of the list. In this classroom, some of Arizona Christian University‘s top athletes come together to learn and discuss "STRENGTH". We break down what strength is, how to secure and increase it, and what God wants us to do with our strength. Ironically, there are two sides to every coin. Strength is no different. We learn that to secure great levels of strength, you must also have a healthy understanding of both training and rest. What happens when we train correctly?When we train too frequently? and when we don’t train hard enough? We also learn to understand the importance of rest, and what happens not only spiritually, but physically and mentally as well. This action-packed classroom puts “strength” into perspective, and ultimately finishes off with what God wants us to do with our strength!

In a recent devotional/chapel at Arizona Christian University (ACU), Josiah Igono shares about the power of Relentless Recovery with members of the Women's Vollyeball Team. Many athletes are burnt out! They have reached their end physically, emotionally, socially, and are in serious need of a reboot. When you look at the Biopsychosocial Model, as proposed by George Engel, oncd you addressed the respective areas, it is easy to visualize how to be restored after the rigors of competition & life. #Recovery #Athletes #Mindset #PeakPerformance #Inspiration #Motivation

Godeyvio Castro is not just a dedicated educator in traditional martial arts, fitness, and boxing; he’s a transformative guide for those looking to elevate their lives physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Born and raised in a tough urban setting, Godeyvio’s life was shaped by adversity—from witnessing violence and drug abuse to becoming a teenage father at age 16 and later a single dad, his journey was far from easy. At the age of 21, a physical altercation resulted in a felony charge, subsequently expunged, that set him on an entrepreneurial path. He founded Awakening Warriors Institute, a sanctuary for unlocking human potential. Here, Godeyvio focuses on activating the WARRIOR Archetype in individuals, guiding them to enhance their spiritual gifts through astral projection, quantum physics, and esoteric wisdom. Beyond his practical teachings, Godeyvio is an academic with a Master’s in Therapeutic Martial Arts from the American University of Holistic Healing. He is also yoga-certified and holds an elite level boxing coaching certification. His credentials underscore his commitment to being a well-rounded educator. Spiritual growth has always been the cornerstone of Godeyvio’s life. His spiritual journey led him to train with Taoist Monks and explore the jungles of South America, where he further honed his martial arts skills and spiritual practices. One transformative teaching he received was in the meditation practice of Falun Gong. Godeyvio’s global mission has taken him to four continents, where he has spoken to over 6,000 indigenous people, helping them integrate into modern society while honoring their spiritual roots. Closer to home, he offers self-defense classes for men, women, and children in Gilbert, AZ, aiming to elevate their quality of life and instill greater self-confidence. #blackbelt #commitment #dedication #nopainnogain #athletemotivation #athletemindset #inspiration

Perfectionism is a topic that is talked about often with high performers, but is gravely misunderstood. Can you strive to be perfect and still be a high-level performer? What happens when things aren’t perfect? You would actually be surprised at some of the research that is out there on Perfectionism. In this podcast we look at both the positive and the paralyzing aspects of what happens when things don’t turn out perfect. We not only look at how perfectionism can be a driver of performance, but how it can also be debilitating in nature when it is not channeled in the right direction. As an educator of 20 years, Jeffrey Birthwright, a.k.a. Birf, joins me on this thought-provoking podcast on a game-changing topic. Regardless of where you stand, Perfectionism is an important construct in the world of high performance, not only as an athlete and performer, but as a student and an educator. Join us for this insightful conversation, and don’t forget to share!

After taking a break from Superbowl, Derek and Josiah get back after it again. This conversation is hilarious, and you can tell that you can’t go too long without speaking because there’s no time for anything else! Part II: Burn The Tape (Coming Soon) Many athletes think that after a horrible or embarrassing performance that they need to “flush” the game and move onto the next chapter. We are going to discuss why this is one of the worst things that you can do. The human brain does a tremendous job in recording information (even when we don’t want it to). Every time you go back and retrieve a memory, you actually re-insert and reconsolidate it again for long-term use....and this is a great thing! Stay tuned for the next episode.
