In this podcast: Being needled, Andy invites us into a four part series entitled The heart as a compass. The core question at the heart of this series is: How to defeat the Villain-giants that Hijack and Sabotage our story.

All stories have villains, antagonists that seek to stop the hero, protagonist making progress in the journey or quest. Andy reminds his listeners that God the Father is the screenwriter of the story-quest and journey called our life. He alone knows our purpose and its attached potential, and He has factored in the villains, that we have to face and overcome by His power.

The Old Testament describes these villains as giants!

Using scripture, stories and questions, Andy invites his listener to sit as a passenger, as they drive through the first part of this series: Recognizing being needled in heart!

Andy, offers his listeners three opportunities to stop and hear the Father’s voice, so they have an opportunity to Edit their story and Energise their life.

This is the core purpose of the Dads, Lads & Screenplays podcast.

Following these pauses and opportunities Andy offers up three benefits of the podcast and then challenges his listeners, the Father-Screenwriter’s hero’s, to take action! This series will help every Masculine heart and soul to understand and develop the Keystone habit at the heart of discipleship: Above all else Guard your heart. Proverbs 4:23.

Solomon calls it the keystone—the one atomic habit every Beloved Son must master to mature: guarding the heart (Proverbs 4:23). In this raw, thought-provoking, and deeply challenging episode, Andy pulls back the curtain on the hidden battlefield within. Through gripping stories, vulnerable personal testimony, and laser-sharp Scripture, he reveals a life-altering truth: Your heart is a compass—and its needle is being hijacked.

External forces and deeply embedded scripts act like villains lodged in the code of your soul, silently steering your direction. Drawing from the Exodus journey and David’s showdown with Goliath, Andy exposes how unresolved emotions, unanswered questions, and unhealed pain become giants that stall your story. These aren’t just feelings—they’re narrative saboteurs, freezing your screenplay on a single, broken frame.

But there’s hope. This episode isn’t theory—it’s a battle plan. Learn to recognize, name, and defeat these heart-villains with simple, practical, Spirit-empowered steps. Rewrite the script. Silence the giants. Step into the next chapter God has already written: promotion, purpose, and unshakable peace.

In this compelling episode, Andy explores the multifaceted ways the Father is portrayed in scripture and preaching traditions, presenting Him as a divine Personal Trainer dedicated to unlocking our untapped potential.

Drawing from the life of David, as reflected in Psalm 86, Andy examines how the Father collaborates with us to bridge the gap between where we are and the fullness of what we can become.

Andy defines potential as the latent capabilities within us, waiting to be realized and released. Central to the Father’s transformative process is His intentional inclusion of "giants"—challenges and obstacles designed to foster growth, resilience, and maturity in His sons. These giants, though daunting, serve as catalysts for progress, pushing us to confront our fears and step into our divine purpose.

Through the lens of David’s journey, Andy unpacks three timeless principles taught by the Father-Personal Trainer. These principles empower and equip listeners to move from merely surviving to thriving, offering practical insights for navigating life’s challenges with courage and faith. By facing our giants head-on and releasing the "pebble of our potential," we can unlock new levels of spiritual and personal growth.

At its core, this podcast is a clarion call to the masculine heart and soul, inviting men to hear the voice of the Father-Screenwriter. Through His guidance, listeners are encouraged to edit their life stories, energize their purpose, and step boldly into the narrative God has written for them.

Tune in to discover how to align with the Father’s vision, confront your giants, and unleash your God-given potential with renewed purpose and passion.
