In Episode 151, speaking coach and educator Danny Brassell offers tips on how to effectively share it.Timestamps:[00:04] - Intro[00:40] - Danny’s background[04:02] - The biggest mistakes Danny sees in speaking[06:57] - Danny’s introduction and RAP strategies for relating to and impressing audiences[10:12] - Danny’s experience of going off script, feeling God’s pleasure, and having God give him what to say[14:49] - How to infuse humor into your speeches and presentations[22:24] - What Danny has taken away from Jesus’ storytelling[27:39] - Connecting with audiences through single moments or stories to get them to want more[29:49] - How to read Scripture without getting overwhelmed, based on Danny’s educational experience[40:39] - Danny’s book projects[43:00] - Thoughts on Job, being refined by God, and how to approach God in prayer[47:21] - Prayer/Danny’s offer[49:46] - Outro/What’s coming up nextKey takeaways:People struggle most with two things in speaking: bragging too much and giving too many calls to action.Share failures, not just successes. That’s what makes you relatable and trustworthy.Give one clear call to action. Too many options confuse people and lower follow-through.Use RAP (relatable, authority, and purpose) to connect quickly.Relatability comes from everyday experiences. Not big, impressive achievements.You don’t have to be perfect — just practice. Great speaking comes from repetition.Humor helps, especially when it’s self-aware. You don’t need to be a comedian—just be real.Use stories, not just information. Stories are what people remember.Aim to leave people feeling better. Joy and hope are powerful goals when you speak.Jesus modeled powerful communication through stories and humility.Sometimes the best words come through you, not from you. Be open to being used by God.You only need one moment or one story to connect deeply with someone.There’s no single “right” way to read the Bible. Just start and stay engaged.The Bible meets you where you are. It speaks to real-life struggles and questions.Faith grows through relationship, not perfection. Be honest, curious, and consistent.God can redeem anything. Your story — no matter what it includes — still has value.You already have something worth sharing. Your story can make an impact.Unlock the Blueprint to Transform Your Story into a Powerful Business Growth ToolDr. Danny Brassell – Literacy, Leadership & Keynotes for SchoolsCTAs:Take one piece of your story this week — and share it with someone.

  • Building From the Ashes of Negative Life Experiences With Laurette Willis

    Building From the Ashes of Negative Life Experiences With Laurette Willis
    Apr 20 2026
    Faithful on the Clock is a podcast with the mission of getting your work and faith aligned. We want you to understand Who you're serving and why so you can get more joy and legacy from every minute spent on the clock. Thanks for joining us and taking this step toward a more fulfilling job and relationship with God!Want to join us on social media?We'd love to have you stay up-to-date with the show on all our platforms!ThreadsBlueskyFacebookPinterestInstagramLinkedInYouTubeIn this episode...Building From the Ashes of Negative Life Experiences With Laurette Willishttps://faithfulontheclock.com/building-from-the-ashes-of-negative-life-experiences-with-laurette-willisPain and mistakes? Dr. Laurette Willis joins us in Episode 150 of Faithful on the Clock to show how they can become a foundation for serving God.Timestamps:[00:04] - Intro[00:45] - Laurette’s career background[04:50] - Laurette’s life background[10:53] - How Laurette’s struggles showed up at work[17:07] - What to look for in others who might be struggling[27:25] - The difficulty of asking for help as a high performer[31:05] - The difficulty of asking for help even when not a high performer; addressing self talk[38:51] - Addressing the negative thoughts we might have about God[49:51] - Laurette’s ventures and offerings[53:11] - Whether Laurette would have changed anything in her past[60:59] - Prayer[64:11] - Outro/What’s coming up nextKey takeaways:Pain can become purpose when surrendered to God. God often uses our deepest wounds as the starting point for ministry and service. Willis’ ministries were built from her own experiences with trauma, addiction, and emotional eating. Instead of hiding the past, she turned it into a platform to help others heal.Coping mechanisms often mask deeper emotional wounds. People may appear successful or high-performing at work while quietly struggling with destructive coping habits. The real issue usually isn’t the behavior—it’s the unresolved emotional pain underneath.High performers often struggle to admit they need help. For people whose identity is tied to achievement, admitting weakness or asking for help can feel terrifying. This fear can create a dangerous cycle of striving harder, hiding struggles, increasing stress, and deepening dependence on coping mechanisms. Healing often begins with surrender—acknowledging that you cannot fix everything through performance alone.Struggling coworkers are often identified by behavior, not performance. Someone may still be hitting quotas and performing well professionally while quietly suffering. Warning signs are often relational rather than productivity-based: emotional distance, withdrawing, wearing a mask, and pushing people away. Compassionate connection — simply letting someone know they are seen and cared for—can make a profound difference.The battle often begins with our self-talk. Willis explains that negative internal dialogue shapes behavior and outcomes. Self-talk → beliefs → attitude → feelings → actions → results. If someone wants different results, the change must begin at the level of thought patterns.Renewing the mind changes both spiritual and neurological pathways. Through neuroscience and Scripture, Willis describes how people can retrain their thinking. By replacing destructive thoughts with truth, individuals can literally reshape neural pathways and create healthier emotional responses. “Take every thought captive.” (2 Corinthians 10:4–5)Healing requires changing how we see both ourselves and God. Many people carry distorted beliefs: “God loves others but not me.”; “I’ve made too many mistakes.”; “I’m not worthy of grace.” True transformation requires correcting both negative beliefs about ourselves and false assumptions about God’s character.Slowing down is essential to spiritual clarity. Constant busyness can block emotional and spiritual awareness. Simple moments of stillness—pausing, noticing small joys, or sitting quietly with God—create space for reflection, prayer, and healing.Freedom often begins when someone feels safe enough to be honest. People struggling with addiction or shame may desperately want help but feel unable to admit it. What helps most often is non-judgmental listening, simple invitations to connect, and small acts of compassion. Even one supportive person can help break the cycle.Your past does not disqualify you — it can become the foundation for good. You don’t have to erase your past mistakes. You can build something meaningful from them. What once looked like failure can become the very thing God uses to help others.Meditation KitChristian Weight Loss KitPersonal Transformation CoachingCTAs:If there’s something in your past you wish you could erase, consider this: What if the very thing you’re most ashamed of could someday become the thing that helps someone else heal?Most people who are struggling don’t show it in obvious ways. They keep ...

  • Managing Stress Without Losing Calling With Pat Welsh

    Managing Stress Without Losing Calling With Pat Welsh
    Apr 6 2026

Thanks for joining us and taking this step toward a more fulfilling job and relationship with God!Want to join us on social media?We'd love to have you stay up-to-date with the show on all our platforms!ThreadsBlueskyFacebookPinterestInstagramLinkedInYouTubeIn this episode...Managing Stress Without Losing Calling With Pat Welshhttps://faithfulontheclock.com/managing-stress-without-losing-calling-with-pat-welshIn Episode 149 of Faithful on the Clock, speaker and law enforcement officer Pat Welsh offers tips and insights for how to deal with stress even in the most difficult jobs.Timestamps:[00:04] - Intro[00:38] - Pat’s background and experience[02:39] - Pat’s integration of faith and work[04:47] - Feeling obligated toward law enforcement and meeting unique purpose[06:55] - Reconciling being in a stressful job or situation with the story of Job[17:34] - Why our identity is not what we do; our “life sentence”[23:42] - How Pat’s job influenced his marriage; advice for managing how your work influences the stress others experience[28:55] - Delegating and facing the fears underneath not doing everything yourself[42:51] - How the business world trains us to be on edge; addressing work culture to address stress[51:53] - Practical recommendations for managing stress as we adjust work culture to be healthier[01:01:32] - How to get in touch with Pat/Prayer[01:03:50] - Outro/What’s coming up nextKey takeaways:Stress has biblical precedent, and it is not evidence that God is absent. As the stories of Job and Jesus in the garden show, God often sits with us even in our most stressful hour. God does not create our suffering to test us, but can use it to rebuke the Devil and strengthen our faith.Calling often includes high stakes environments. In this sense, leadership is less about position and more about influence and impact.Faith calls believers to live out the unique purpose God created them for. This might mean we carry a significant stress load, but rejecting being a “photocopy” increases our impact.Stress around our calling or work often comes from trying to control what belongs to God. If we accept His sovereignty, the stress we might encounter is often reduced.Our work doesn’t just influence our own stress. It can influence the stress of those we care about. We can be loving to others by staying aware of this influence and working intentionally to examine our habits and goals.We can use practical strategies to manage stress even as we intentionally work to improve work environments that lead to anxiety.Pat Welsh on LinkedInWarrior Servant Leadership PodcastCTAs:Reflect about your work tasks and obligations. Identify what produces the most stress and select 1-3 strategies you can proactively use to regulate yourself.Have a candid discussion with your loved ones about how your work might be causing them stress and what you can all do to minimize the damage.What’s coming up next:Stress can lead us into unhealthy coping mechanism and poor choices.
