Setting the Temperature | Ep 137
Description
Kyle returns from a Warriors for Christ fly-in event with a raw and
vulnerable reflection on personal accountability and leadership. After
bringing his wife to spend the weekend with his brotherhood in Allentown,
Pennsylvania, Kyle confronts a hard truth: he was disappointed in
himself—not because the event failed, but because he realized he wasn't
living up to the standard he knew he should set.
In this deeply personal episode, Kyle unpacks the danger of predisposed
expectations, the importance of "setting the temperature" in your
relationships, and why your natural behavior should reflect your values
every single day—not just in special moments. He challenges listeners with
a powerful question: If you're disappointed in your life, is it because
you're setting unrealistic expectations on others, or because you're not
living up to the standard you know you should have for yourself?
Drawing from experiences serving the homeless, witnessing God move through
his brotherhood, and examining his own internal dialogue, Kyle reveals
why consistency in character matters more than occasional peak
performance. This is an episode about raising your own bar, being the
thermostat (not the thermometer) in your environment, and living
congruently with the person you aspire to be.
