Spiritual FoundationsWhy does God allow bad things to happen to good people? Here’s the short answer…He doesn’t. In this week’s episode I’ll give you a scripture-based answer to back this up, but here’s all you really need to know:
‘Nuff said. Tip Of The WeekA magic photo bag that is bigger on the inside than it is on the outside. I have been faced with a travel dilemma for some time now. I live in a smallish city that often requires me to take smaller regional jets with limited overhead bin space to get where I need to go. That’s a problem because I travel with my photo gear, business essentials, and my carry-on bag with my clothes. All that baggage makes me look like a sherpa loaded down to climb some great mountain. This is not a good look for me by the way. Enter the Airport Essentials photo bag, from ThinkTank. It checks all the boxes that I need in a bag, and the best part is that it’s magically bigger on the inside than it is on the outside. Feature Segment: “How To Overcome Everything”A remarkable conversation with Mark Goblowsky, creator of the Strength Through the Struggle podcast. My guest this week is someone who has been through some crazy trials in his life, and the way he has responded has been an inspiration to me. Here are some of the things you’ll learn this week from my friend Mark Goblowsky:

Spiritual FoundationsIf God wants us healed, healthy, and wealthy… then why aren’t we? Not long ago a man emailed me to ask me a tough question. “I was listening to your message. My wife and I are Christians for many years. We both believe that God will and can prosper us. But we have no more money. I have no job. We have debt. My wife has diabetes. We believe in healing, but we have not seen it. We believe in prosperity, but we are broke. We believe in it, but it is not working.” In this episode, I’ll tell you how I answered him… Tip Of The WeekHow to triple your productivity… instantly. Being productive is more about eliminating resistance (drag) than about getting better at anything. Here are 3 simple practices that, in my experience, will triple your output: Do one thing at a time, for a focused block of time (using a digital timer), to the exclusion of all else. And here’s the thing: for these practices to work, you can’t do them half-heartedly. You must be a fanatic. You must bring intensity to the game. Try it with full-on emotional intensity for one week and see the difference in your output. If you want to go beyond productivity and become more EFFECTIVE (not just EFFICIENT) in every area of your life, you may want to consider attending the webinar with Michael Hyatt this week at https://rayedwards.com/bye-webinar This week, Michael will be showing you the seven steps you can take to use goal-setting to design the life you really want. This is going to help you have your best year ever in 2017. Feature Segment: “7 Lessons Learned at the Gym From My Son”I’ve been on a personal health quest over the last few months, proactively taking control of what I’m eating and the quality and frequency of the physical exercise I get. The results are clear. I’ve lost over 50 pounds, had to buy a new belt, and had to buy some new clothes. I have a lot more progress to make, but it’s been a very encouraging, if somewhat challenging experience. I’ve tried to take control of my health in the past, and frankly didn’t have a great deal of success, at least not long-term. This time, I decided to try something different: I have enlisted an accountability partner that I absolutely don’t want to disappoint. That accountability partner is my son, Sean Edwards. Sean is a great accountability partner and coach because he is unrelentingly truthful in his assessment of how I’m doing (“Hey dad, when you do those squats you need to go all the way down…”). He has a great sense of humor, and he is a good teacher. This week I share seven lessons I have learned from Sean in our time working out together. Here’s a little preview of what you’ll learn…

Spiritual FoundationsHow To Avoid 40 Years In The Desert. Whether you’re a spiritual person or not, I believe the key to changing your outcome for the year is hidden within a story from the Bible that illustrates the power of our thoughts to influence the course of our lives. Here are some things to think about:
In this episode I’m going to show you how to do this by using “The 3 Be-Attitudes That Stoke The Fires of Faith.” You can march directly up to the border of the Promised Land, cross over, and receive the blessings of your dreams fulfilled. You can still meet your goals. Just don’t give up. Tip Of The WeekHow do they do it? You know who I'm talking about… It's the person who, regardless of how much they have going on in their life, always seems in control of it all. Is it some super power? It's not. These people understand something about setting and hitting big goals that most people miss. This week, New York Times bestselling author Michael Hyatt will be showing you the seven steps you can take to use goal-setting to design the life you want. This webinar is going to help you have your best year ever in 2017. https://rayedwards.com/bye-webinar There is no cost to attend. But you do need to register. So click the link above and claim your spot. Michael's free presentations have developed quite a reputation because they of the highest quality, and he usually creates a workbook to enhance your experience. However, just know that they typically max out so make sure you claim your spot early: https://rayedwards.com/bye-webinar Feature Segment: “The Most Powerful Life-Change Force In The World”When I was still in my twenties, I went to Parris Island, South Carolina, to see my brother Mark graduate with his classmates (I’m pretty sure they would all be horrified to know I just called them that) from Marine Corps boot camp. I don’t pretend to know what going through boot camp was like for my brother Mark. He has told me some stories, but I have a feeling this is a secret society you can only fully understand if you have been there yourself. What I do know is this: I saw the transformation boot camp wrought in Mark’s life, and in the lives of all the young men who were part of his graduating class… In this episode, I show you how, like my brother Mark, you can learn to harness “The Power of Emotional Gravity” to achieve any transformation you desire.And it only takes 3 simple steps. Knowing this secret should give you a great deal of hope. If you have not reached the outcomes you want from your life, whether it be in personal or business matters (or both), listening to this episode is the first place to start.
