Live on Purpose is a timely conversation about how we navigate life's transitions with intention rather than reaction. In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Paul Jenkins, who has spent decades helping individuals and families shift their mindset, reclaim a sense of purpose, and create lasting peace—especially during seasons of change. Together, we explore why transitions often challenge our thinking, how mindset shapes our emotional and physical responses, and what the science of positivity tells us about resilience, hope, and forward movement. When life feels uncertain, learning how to lead your thoughts can make all the difference in how—and how well—you move forward.

In an age dominated by streaming platforms, social media algorithms, and a constant flow of digital entertainment, it might seem unlikely that a series about the life of Jesus would become one of the most talked‑about global media phenomena of the past decade. Yet that is precisely what has happened with The Chosen, the multi‑season television drama created by Dallas Jenkins. What began as a modest, crowdfunded project has grown into an international cultural movement that is reshaping how biblical stories are presented in modern media. As Easter approaches each year—a season centered on the death and resurrection of Christ—the impact of The Chosen becomes even more meaningful. The series not only retells the Gospel story but also invites audiences to rediscover its humanity, relevance, and emotional depth in a way that resonates across generations and cultures. I wanted to trace a bit more of its history and discover why it broke through, especially in today's media climate. Full article here: https://GoalsForYourLife.com/the-chosen

In the story of Wicked, there's a powerful moment when we see how easily someone can be labeled "wicked" so others can feel justified in calling themselves good. It's a reminder that our worldview shapes how we define right and wrong — and ultimately how we make decisions. From the earliest pages of Scripture to the daily choices we face now, the tension between good and evil is real, and recognizing it clearly matters. The question is not just what we believe, but how those beliefs guide our future decisions. Today on the Power of After Show, we're talking about why defining your worldview — and aligning it with your core values — is essential for clarity, courage, and confidence in your next steps.
