Before he even coached his first game, the Marine-turned-football coach committed to God that he would give thanks after each game for what the players had accomplished and for the opportunity to be part of their lives through football. This was met with disapproval from his school district and became a lengthy court battle. On June 27, 2022, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Coach Kennedy and his First Amendment rights, and on March 8, 2023, Coach Kennedy was officially reinstated as assistant coach and is excited to be back with his team. Joe and his wife, Denise, are parents to four and currently reside in Pensacola. He continues to speak across the country, promoting freedom of speech. ABOUT ERIC CLOSE: Eric Close is the leading role in Average Joe. He is best known for starring in the hit series Nashville and Clint Eastwood’s movie American Sniper. He directed episodes of Nashville and six films with Crown Media, including A Christmas Love Story and his latest, Sugar Plum Twist.

    Living with Excellence | Alita Reynolds + Erwin McManus

    I had the pleasure of speaking with Erwin McManus, a remarkable individual who has significantly impacted my life through his unique approach to faith, entrepreneurship, and communication. Erwin is both an entrepreneur and a church leader, a rare combination that has allowed him to finance and grow his church, Mosaic, in innovative ways. We discussed Erwin’s journey of transforming a traditional church into Mosaic, a vibrant community that reaches a diverse group of people, including atheists, agnostics, and artists. Erwin shared the challenges he faced, including financial struggles and internal conflicts, and how his entrepreneurial spirit helped him navigate these obstacles. Erwin emphasized the importance of living a life of excellence, both in the church and in the secular world. He shared personal anecdotes about maintaining high standards and the necessity of continuous improvement. We discussed how Christians can have a significant impact in their workplaces by living out their faith authentically and striving for excellence. One of the key topics we explored was the concept of "Mind Shift," which is also the title of one of Erwin's new books. He explained how changing internal mental structures can lead to success and fulfillment. Erwin highlighted the importance of self-critique and the willingness to grow, even if it means leaving behind people who do not support your growth. Erwin also introduced "The Arena," a learning community he created to help people, especially entrepreneurs, develop their communication, leadership, and character. This platform offers a space for high-level learning and personal development. In closing, Erwin shared a powerful truth bomb: "You are your own ceiling." He encouraged listeners to take responsibility for their lives and recognize that their own limitations are often the biggest barriers to success. For those who are far from the Lord or have not accepted Jesus, Erwin offered heartfelt advice on finding faith and community. He emphasized the relational aspect of faith and the importance of surrounding oneself with people who live vibrant, meaningful lives. This episode is packed with insights and inspiration for anyone looking to live a life of excellence and impact, both in their faith and in the world. 00:00:25 - Guest Introduction: Erwin McManus 00:01:00 - Balancing Entrepreneurship and Ministry 00:01:53 - Financing Mosaic Church 00:03:28 - Challenges in Leading Women of Faith 00:04:22 - Transforming a Traditional Church 00:06:01 - Initial Struggles and Growth at Mosaic 00:08:18 - Starting Mosaic in a Nightclub 00:10:18 - Innovative Communication Style 00:10:51 - Impacting the Secular Workplace 00:12:09 - Real-life Example of Business Coaching 00:13:36 - Living a Life of Hope and Abundance 00:15:49 - Helping Christians Live Abundantly 00:17:04 - Focus on Living Fully Alive 00:18:07 - Advocating for a Spirit of Excellence 00:20:06 - Critique and Continuous Improvement 00:23:34 - Excellence in the World vs. the Church 00:26:11 - Importance of Feedback and Improvement 00:27:23 - Introduction to Mindshift Book 00:28:26 - Origins of Mindshift 00:30:33 - Internal Structures of Success and Failure 00:32:14 - Mindshift's Practical Approach 00:33:32 - Challenging Chapter: You Can't Take Everyone with You 00:35:47 - Changing Friends and Growth 00:36:39 - Encouragement to Read Mindshift 00:37:05 - Erwin McManus Truth Bomb 00:39:11 - You Are Your Own Ceiling 00:40:28 - Introduction to The Arena 00:41:33 - Message to Those Far from the Lord 00:43:02 - Closing Remarks and Farewell CONNECT WITH WOMEN OF FAITH & ALITA REYNOLDS ON SOCIAL MEDIA: ▶︎ INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/womenoffaith/ ▶︎ INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/alitareynolds/ ▶︎ FACEBOOK | https://www.facebook.com/womenoffaith ▶︎ TIKTOK | https://www.tiktok.com/@womenoffaith? ▶︎ TWITTER | https://twitter.com/womenoffaith ▶︎ WEBSITE | https://www

    I had the incredible honor of hosting the Kendrick Brothers, the creative minds behind the number one box office hit, War Room, and other impactful films like Overcomer, Courageous, and Fireproof. We discussed their latest project, The Forge, which is set to release in theaters on August 23rd. This new film focuses on discipleship and takes place in the same universe as War Room. The Kendrick Brothers shared the inspiration behind The Forge, emphasizing the importance of men stepping up in their faith and mentoring the next generation. They highlighted how the film portrays a Christian businessman investing in the life of a 19-year-old, guiding him through the journey of discipleship with relatable challenges and triumphs. We also chatted the differences between War Room, which centered on women and strategic prayer, and The Forge, which focuses on male discipleship. The brothers explained their creative process, which involves a lot of prayer and seeking God's guidance to ensure their films are both entertaining and spiritually enriching. A special highlight was discussing Priscilla Shirer's role in The Forge. Known for her impactful performance in War Room, Priscilla returns to play dual roles as twin sisters, adding depth and humor to the film. The Kendrick Brothers also mentioned the various resources they've developed to accompany the movie, including books and curriculums aimed at fostering discipleship. We wrapped up the episode by emphasizing the power of prayer and the potential for The Forge to inspire real-life change.

    The Power of Perseverance | Alita Reynolds & Lisa Toney

    In this episode, Alita Reynolds, Women of Faith President, sits down with her dear friend Lisa Toney. They discuss the importance of embracing truths and maintaining positive mindsets to keep our focus on Jesus. They emphasize the significance of transitioning from darkness to light, mourning to joy, and chaos to peace. By proclaiming these truths and cultivating positive mindsets, we can shape ourselves and keep our eyes fixed on Jesus. They stress that emotional maturity is just as crucial as spiritual maturity when navigating through challenging situations and emotions. By studying God's word, individuals can develop emotional maturity and understand that emotions should not be the driving force behind their actions, but rather their faith should be. The conversation unveils the process of untangling the knots within ourselves during difficult seasons or challenging circumstances. Alita and Lisa compare it to the exercise of untangling a human knot and stress the importance of persistently working through these tangles until a new direction begins to emerge. By discussing it with Jesus or a trusted spiritual leader or friend, we can untangle the knots and find clarity and resolution. Additionally, Alita and Lisa touch on the concept of experiencing extreme situations to witness the transformative power of God.  They suggest that sometimes we need to reach the end of ourselves or our previous experiences to embrace the newness that God has in store for us. This process requires courage and a strong faith in God's guidance and provision. The episode underscores the significance of embracing truths, maintaining positive mindsets, and having faith to keep our focus on Jesus. By doing so, we can navigate through challenging emotions and situations, untangle the knots within ourselves, and experience the transformative power of God. Alita and Lisa encourage us to remember that our story is not over yet, even during difficult seasons, and to hold onto hope and trust in God's plan and purpose for our lives.   ABOUT LISA TONEY: Lisa Toney is a pastor, professor, author, and speaker.
