Enjoy these conversations with everyday people who overcame difficulties and setbacks, or simply recognized how their way of thinking limited their own abilities and opportunities. They did this (and continue doing it!) by learning that success and WINNING start in the MIND and how we think. With WINNING MINDS we can Think better. Do better. Be better.

2024.02 The Money Speech Response
What is the love of money, anyway?
This is my response to the "Money Speech" in Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand.
1 Timothy 6:10 (ESV) For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs.
Matthew 6:24 (ESV) “No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.
Deuteronomy 8:18 (ESV) “You shall remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth…”

2024.01 Is Money Evil? Money Speech (Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand)
Ayn Rand was born in Russia in 1905. She was able to move to the US in the 1920s, and she remained there until her death in 1982. In this episode, I am reading a passage from her book, Atlas Shrugged. This book was written to help us contemplate and understand the importance of allowing individuals to pursue their own interests, and profit from their own efforts. This excerpt is known as “The Money Speech” by one of the characters named
Francisco. In this episode, I am just reading it. I will follow up with my own response to it in a later episode.
Thank you for listening. I hope you enjoy it, and that it contributes to your next winning decision.

2023.04 Israel, Russia, China: The Big One
I delivered this sermon back in April of this year – 2023. This is just a small part of it dealing with the instability of world governments and economies. Everyone was concerned about Russia and Ukraine, but I said, things can easily accelerate, and What if this scenario played out… now we see some of it is. But are you ready for what I called “The Big One”? Thank you for listening. I hope this challenges you and inspires you to make the greatest winning decision: living for Jesus Christ and looking forward to His return.

2023.03 Satan, Technology and Faith
Written in 1975, but oddly relevant now. Even though technology has progressed and accelerated as much as it has, Howard Snyder's words still ring true in 2023. This is a reading from his book, The Problem of Wineskins: Church Structure in a Technological Age.
Thank you for listening to this episode. I hope you enjoy it, share it, and that it contributes to your next winning decision.

2023.02 What is Money? Michael Sailor & Robert Breedlove
The "What Is Money" Show and podcast are very popular and informative. But it falls short in diagnosing the root problem with broken money. The root cause is the human condition: sin. And the true and final solution is a conversion experience with Jesus Christ. In this episode I respond to and share my thoughts on the topic and what the Bible says about it.
Thank you for listening to this episode. I hope you enjoyed it and that it contributes to your next WINNING decision.

2023.01 Mental Health and Weed(ing)?
Recently, my parents moved. And because of the move, I began receiving their forwarded mail. One of the items was a gardening magazine my mom would read. Because I enjoy gardening, I figured I’d check it out.
Interestingly enough, the articles were not about gardening as much as they were about mental health: dealing with life’s ups and downs. Events in the various authors’ lives, and the reflections and lessons learned. This episode is the result of that reading.
I am reading 4 of the short articles from the magazine. It’s called “Green Prints”, and this issue specifically is called, “The Weeder’s Reader.” Each article is separated with the least annoying sound effect I could find, and I give the title of the article as well.
Thank you for listening. I hope you enjoy this, and that it contributes to your next Winning Decision, and possibly even inspires you to get into gardening.
