Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks! Every day we have situations, environments and conversations happening in our lives. There are many things said and done and felt and thought. However, there is often very little focus on the outcomes we desire in those days, situations, environments or conversations. So we get affected by outside influences and don't see growth. However, with just the simple practice of consciously identifying The One Thing before those events, we can take control of the flow, the tone, and help create great outcomes, day after day! - Ho

Ep. 9 - Asking Beautiful Questions

Kris Emerson · Excel Still More

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks! Little kids ask the most awesome questions! They want to know things, things way beyond their comprehension, and they process the answers to build greater intellect. Sadly, many people stop doing this after the age of about 7. But if we can keep that spirit of wonder, inquisitiveness, and limitless possibilities, we can learn and grow in tremendous ways. More specifically, we can approach God so much better, asking Him big and beautiful things, accessing His limitless power and seeing His incredible answers! If you want t

Plus Bryan reacts to Jesus’ words on God filling us up to overflowing from Luke 6:38, and Ryan shares why his son can’t seem to shake the thumb-sucking habit. Join us for a listen!

Ep. 5 - Best Month Ever

Kris Emerson · Excel Still More

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks! What makes something the "best"? I mean, like "the best time," "the best year ever," etc. And similarly, how would you define a day as the "worst" or "a bad day"? It seems like we usually assess value based on what is happening around us and to us. This is exact opposite reasoning. If you want to build a great day, month, or year; or better yet, the BEST day, month or year, you have to find out where that greatness comes from and how it develops. Hint: it has nearly nothing to do with what is happening to you nor what oth
