We have been on a relentless journey for over a decade to live whole hearted and connected to God and others (actually connected). As a byproduct of this journey, we became life coaches (by accident) in 2018 and have now worked with over 32,000 believers. We have committed to documenting what we've learned in our lives as well as what we've learned from our clients and that's why we started the Alive & Free Podcast...to offer whatever we can to other believers that don't want to settle for mediocre connection in their lives and relationships. We cover conflict, pain, forgiveness, addictions, coping, sin, codependency, as well as many other topics. Welcome to the conversation.

The Art of Staying Regulated and Motivated as a Leader
<p>You feel called to something. You have vision, maybe even a clear sense that God put this in you. And still, weeks go by and you haven't touched it. Not because you're lazy. Because something underneath is running the show.</p> <p>In this episode, Sammi and I sit down after five months away from the mic and talk honestly about one of the most common struggles we hear from the coaches we work with: how to stay motivated and consistent when you don't have pressure forcing you, and how to know when lost motivation is actually a triggered state and not a character flaw.</p> <p>Together, we explore the difference between extrinsic and intrinsic motivation, what Maslow's hierarchy actually tells us about why some people self-sabotage to feel something, and why so many driven Christians flip between white-knuckling their way forward and drifting in what we call greasy grace. We talk about what it looks like to function from a triggered state while trying to build something, why an eight-year-old version of you can't make powerful content or hold a coaching session well, and what it actually takes to get regulated and return to your real self before you take the next step. We also get into why rushing to pray your pain away is often just self-abandonment with spiritual branding, and what it means to let God meet you in the middle of the mess instead.</p> <p>This episode is for anyone who:</p> <p>Feels genuinely called but loses steam the moment life gets busy or the pressure lifts.<br /> Struggles to stay consistent without someone external holding them accountable.<br /> Knows the vision but keeps getting hijacked by fear of failure, fear of judgment, or perfectionism before they can act on it.<br /> Is carrying the tension between dying to self and actually being allowed to want something.<br /> Desires to coach or lead from a place of overflow rather than performance and striving.<br /> Wants practical, grounded ways to take care of their heart so they can show up fully for the people depending on them.</p> <p>At its core, this is a conversation about what it means to stay connected to yourself and to God so that discipline and motivation become a natural overflow, not a grind you have to white-knuckle your way through.<br /> <br /></p> <p data-start="1627" data-end="1754">To find freedom, healing, and emotional wholeness, check out the Alive & Free Collective:<br data-start="1716" data-end="1719" /> 👉 <strong><a href= "http://www.aliveandfreeconsulting.com/">www.aliveandfreeconsulting.com</a></strong></p> <p data-start="1756" data-end="1930">To become a life coach and learn how to help people get free emotionally while building a meaningful business, watch our Coach Training:<br data-start="1892" data-end="1895" /> 👉 <strong id= "docs-internal-guid-b18bf403-7fff-3b62-027f-5299fda1796c"><a href= "http://www.aliveandfreeconsulting.com/">www.aliveandfreeconsulting.com</a></strong></p>

Do You Actually Want Freedom? (The Gospel vs Religious Control)
<p dir="ltr">Many Christians long for freedom, healing, and intimacy with God—yet remain exhausted, anxious, or stuck in cycles of striving and self-effort.</p> <p dir="ltr">In this episode, Spencer Robbins and Josh Straub explore what happens when faith quietly shifts from relationship to performance. They talk honestly about burnout, the hidden addiction to significance, and why shame—not sin—is often the real barrier to transformation.</p> <p dir="ltr">Together, they unpack the difference between guilt and shame, why grace must come before truth can be lived, and how control disguises itself as faithfulness. This conversation invites listeners to examine whether they are pursuing freedom—or merely managing behavior to feel safe.</p> <p dir="ltr">This episode is for anyone who:</p> <ul> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Feels tired of trying harder spiritually</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Struggles with shame or fear of being exposed</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Knows the gospel intellectually but doesn't feel free emotionally</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Wants a faith rooted in union, not performance</p> </li> </ul> <p dir="ltr">At its core, this is an invitation to trade control for trust—and discover the freedom that comes from being loved before you change.</p> <p dir="ltr">To find freedom, healing, and emotional wholeness, check out the Alive & Free Collective:<br /> 👉 <a href= "http://www.aliveandfreeconsulting.com/">www.aliveandfreeconsulting.com</a></p> <p dir="ltr"><strong id= "docs-internal-guid-b18bf403-7fff-3b62-027f-5299fda1796c">To become a life coach and learn how to help people get free emotionally while building a meaningful business, watch our Coach Training:<br /> 👉 <a href= "http://www.aliveandfreeconsulting.com/">www.aliveandfreeconsulting.com</a></strong></p>
