Creativity isn’t reserved for artists or authors—it’s part of God’s design for every believer. Whether you’re writing, building a business, raising a family, leading a ministry, or solving problems at work, you were created to create. This conversation explores how discovering and using your God-given creativity can impact lives, expand God’s Kingdom, and leave a lasting legacy. About Brae Wyckoff: Brae Wyckoff is an award-winning, internationally recognized author, speaker, and mentor who has written and self-published numerous books across fiction and nonfiction. He founded the Kingdom Writers Association (KWA) in 2016, which grew into an international community helping Christian writers discover, develop, and publish their God-given message. Together with his wife, Jill, he later co-founded Kingdom Creativity International to disciple writers and creatives worldwide. Episode Description: Have you ever wondered why you feel compelled to build, write, teach, invent, design, or create? What if that desire wasn’t accidental? In this inspiring conversation, Barry Scott Young sits down with award-winning author Brae Wyckoff to discuss why every believer was created to create. They explore overcoming fear, discovering purpose, stewarding creativity, and learning how God uses ordinary people to create extraordinary Kingdom impact. Whether you’ve dreamed of writing a book, starting a ministry, launching a business, or simply using your gifts more intentionally, this episode will challenge and encourage you to stop waiting and start creating. Three Big Takeaways: 1. Every believer is creative because we reflect our Creator. 2. Your gifts become meaningful when surrendered to God’s purpose. 3. The world needs what God has placed inside you. About Kingdom Writers Association: The Kingdom Writers Association began as a local Christian writers community and has grown into an international ministry equipping writers through training, mentoring, conferences, and community. Its mission is to help Christian writers and creatives use their gifts to advance God’s Kingdom. Closing Thought: “God never creates anything without purpose. If He created you, then He created you with something only you can contribute. Stop waiting for permission.

SHAFOIN STUDIOS and BEARANOOGA PRODUCTIONS p   r   e   s   e   n   t   s  : MY NEW NORM Podcast – S6 E10 Guest: Kent Kelley- Gobal Strategist, founder of Compassion International  Episode: WORLDVIEW: Who’s Shaping Yours? Host: Barry Scott Young What shapes the way you see the world? Whether we realize it or not, every one of us has a worldview. It influences how we think, make decisions, view relationships, handle challenges, and understand truth. The real question is not if you have a worldview—but who is shaping it? In this episode of MY NEW NORM Podcast, Barry Scott Young sits down with longtime friend Kent Kelley, a global strategist and big-picture thinker with Compassion International, to discuss one of the most important issues facing believers today: developing and maintaining a Biblical worldview. Together they explore: * What a worldview really is * How culture, media, education, and relationships shape our thinking * Why so many people are influenced by ideas they have never examined * The difference between a cultural worldview and a Biblical worldview * Why discipleship is essential in shaping how we think and live * How believers can intentionally align their lives with God’s truth * Practical ways to evaluate who and what is influencing your perspective Kent shares valuable insights from his global experiences and challenges listeners to think beyond the immediate issues of life and consider the larger spiritual picture. This conversation is both encouraging and challenging as it calls us to move beyond simply attending church and toward becoming fully discipled followers of Jesus. If you have ever wondered why people see the same world so differently—or if you want to strengthen your own Biblical foundation—this episode is for you. Remember: If you don’t intentionally build a Biblical worldview, someone else will gladly build one for you. About Kent Kelley: Kent Kelley has devoted over forty-five years to discipleship training across three continents. As the visionary founder of Crossroads International, he has woven discipleship into the organizational and mission goals of Crossroads and its bases in South Africa, India, and Pakistan. Prior to this, he spent 15 years as a Youth Pastor and Discipleship Pastor in Southern and Northern California.

In this eye-opening episode, Barry sits down with wellness coach and author James Igani to uncover the uncomfortable truth about today’s food system—and why so many Americans are sicker than ever before. This isn’t about dieting. This isn’t about trends. This is about truth, awareness, and taking back control of your health. We Discuss: * How modern food has been engineered, not grown * The hidden ingredients quietly impacting your body * The connection between food, chronic illness, and long-term health * Why convenience may be costing you your wellness * How the food industry influences what ends up on your plate * Simple, practical steps to begin reclaiming your health today Power Quote from the Episode “You don’t lose weight to improve your health… you improve your health to lose weight.” — James Igani The Reality Check We are living in a time where food is no longer just nourishment—it’s a business. And too often, profit is prioritized over people. This episode challenges you to think differently about what you eat… and why it matters. Key Takeaway If you don’t take control of your health, something else will.

I’m your host, Barry Scott Young, and today we’re joined by author and speaker Lynne Rienstra, whose book Sacred Refuge explores what it means to find safety, healing, and the presence of God even in life’s most difficult seasons. About Guest: Lynne Rienstra, is a recovering Pharisee and spiritual orphan. Through her mentoring, speaking, and writing, she invites women to exchange the lies they've believed for the truth God speaks over them in Scripture. The result? Freedom like they've never experienced before. Sometimes life changes in ways we never expected. Pain shows up. Loss hits hard. Trauma leaves questions that don’t have easy answers. And in those moments, many people quietly ask a question they never thought they would ask… Where is God in the middle of all this? If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed… If you’ve ever wondered how to keep going when life gets heavy… This conversation is for you.

In the U.S., you can call or text 988 to connect with the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. There are stories… and then there are stories that stop you in your tracks. This is one of them. From a childhood shaped by pain… To training in martial arts under legends like Chuck Norris… To a life spiraling into violence, brokenness, and addiction…Barry DeHart lived it all. But this episode isn’t about where he started. It’s about what didn’t finish him. -Addiction didn’t win. -Brokenness didn’t define him. -His past didn’t get the final word. Today… Barry celebrates 40 YEARS OF SOBRIETY. In This Episode: • The hidden pain behind strength and success • How addiction takes hold — and how it can be broken • The turning point that changed everything • What 40 years of freedom really looks like • A message for anyone still fighting their battle Why You Need to Hear This: Because someone you know… Is still in the fight. And this story proves: Freedom is possible Change is real Your past does NOT own your future Hosted by Barry Scott Young Real people. Real stories. Real change. Resource: Steps Toward a Life of Freedom: 1. Get Honest—For Real- Freedom starts when the excuses stop. You can’t heal what you keep hiding. 2. Decide—No More “Someday- Change doesn’t happen by accident. It begins with a moment: “I’m done living this way. 3. Don’t Fight Alone- Isolation feeds addiction. Freedom grows in community—find someone who knows your story. 4. Replace, Don’t Just Remove- You can’t just quit something—you have to fill the space. New habits. New rhythms. New direction. 5. Build Daily Discipline- Freedom isn’t a one-time breakthrough— it’s a daily decision repeated over time. 6. Renew Your Mind- Your life follows your thinking. Change what you believe, and you change how you live. 7. Expect the Fight- Temptation will come. Old patterns will call. Be ready—not surprised. 8. Get Back Up—Fast- You may stumble. Don’t stay down. Failure is a moment, not your identity. 9. Serve Others- Freedom grows when you stop living only for yourself. Help someone else—and you strengthen your own breakthrough. 10. Hold Onto Hope- No matter how far you’ve gone— freedom is still possible. Freedom isn’t found in one big moment… it’s built in small decisions—every single day. CALL TO ACTION: FOLLOW. WATCH. SHARE.
