How To Defeat Cancer Of The Soul
So often we think that the attacks of the enemy will be massive assaults like what Job experienced in the Bible. More often than not, it is the subtle attacks we don't notice that block us from the Promises of God. These subtle attacks happen daily in the form of negativity.

In today's episode, I give you the process of how to overcome negativity and defeat Satan's number one weapon.

How To Increase Your Capacity
Capacity is defined in my 1828 Webster's dictionary as the power of containing or holding; extent of room or space. Your capacity personally is largely down to your ability to personally grow and develop. The greater your capacity, the greater your ability in any given situation.
In this episode, Keith welcomes on his friend Andre Olivier from South Africa and they look at the Biblical context for growing capacity. If you're someone looking to grow in your capacity, don't miss this episode.
3 Gifts My Father Gave Me
One of the greatest realizations you can have for growth is the understanding that God gave you to the 2 parents he did not to love you the way you needed to be loved but for you to learn from. To learn what not to do and what to do.
You get to decide who your teachers will be in life. This episode was recorded 10 days after Keith's father passed away in 2015 and is a fascinating insight into how to be a life long learner that grows no matter what.

Your 1% Power
You have a unique fingerprint that no one else has, to leave a unique imprint that no one else can leave. In Jesus, we see God's 100%, but we have a unique 1% that is our power to discover, develop, and deploy into the world.
It's impossible to discover and understand this 1% until you decide you want to know God. When you know God, you can really know who you are as God's son or daughter, and then you can know what you were put on the earth to do.
When you line up these three things, that's when you really begin to deploy your 1%. In today's episode, Keith goes in depth about the genius of God to give us this 1% and make us an unstoppable force.

The Growth Process
In today's episode, we look at the growth process in life. Everything God made grows. Growth is both automatic and intentional because everything grows better or worse. There is no maintenance where things stay level.
We give you an acrostic today for G-R-O-W and walk you through each step so you can recognize the areas in life you need to be intentional about growing. Grow stands for.
Goal for greatness - set your eyes on greatnes
Reality of Today - what can I do right now
Obstacles - are they options, opportunities, or opposition
Willingness - to serve and do whatever it takes
The Process of Promise
There are over 7000 promises in the Bible, but it's easy to get frustrated when we don't see them in our life. The reason we don't see them is because we are in process. Promise comes as the result of a process.
There is no more important lesson to learn in life than life is a process. What you learn through your process will determine all progress in every area of your life. The conscious decision to grow through whatever you go through is what determines whether you learn the lesson of the process and receive the promise or whether you have to take another lap.

The Think, Be, Do Of A Father To Make The World Better
Fatherhood is the closest thing to Godhood that any man could ever experience. A mother's job is to provide a nurturing environment. A father's job is to give the child identity.
In a world where identity is increasingly under attack, it is not a coincidence that we are also seeing a rise in fatherless homes. It is up to father's to provide strength and tell his children what he sees in them so they know who they are.
A man's greatest privilege is not being a male; his highest honor is not found in the eyes of friends or foes; his most notable achievements cannot be measured by material wealth; but a man's greatest privilege given to him by God is when he becomes a Father.
This conversation was held on Father's Day at Elevate life church with my 3 kids. It is always my heaven on earth to take the stage with them and it is a great privilege to be able to share our life lessons.

The Meaning of Meaning Part 1
In this week's episode, we look at one of the most profound teachings Keith Craft has ever done. Everything that happens in our lives is not about the thing that happened, we are the ones that give meaning to what has happened. We have the power to put everything that happens into a supernatural context. Realizing this and implementing it in our lives is a game changer.
By default, we are led by our emotions and if left unchecked, we can allow them to dictate our whole experience of life and the meanings we assign to events. Understanding the power we have to assign meaning allows us to truly unlock Romans 8:28 and understand how God makes all things work together for the good of those that love Him and are called according to His purpose.
