The Keith Craft Think Coach Podcast

It says in the Bible that Caleb had a different spirit and that because of that, he and his descendants would be brought into the promised land. Have you ever thought about what kind of spirit you have?

In this episode, we break down how to have a different spirit that will overcome adversity, refute negativity, and take hold of all God has taken hold of you for.

Keith Craft and Denny Duron has been lifetime friends. Long before Denny was on God, Family, and Football on Amazon, he was coaching the football team at Keith's college where they struck up a friendship.

In this episode, Denny shares the testimony of his life and how God used him to testify on a national stage. Denny and Keith share leadership principles and how they've used them throughout the various stages of their life. This is an episode focused on leadership where lessons from sports and Kingdom come together.

In today's episode, Josh Craft welcomes on Pastor Jim Raley with a focus on honor. Honor is the one thing that makes everything work the way God intended.

So often we still get confused about what honor is. The honor equation makes it very clear. It's follow + serve = honor. Don't miss this episode as Pastor Jim goes deep on each part of the equation so you can live a life of honor.

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.

You have a unique fingerprint that no one else has, to leave a unique imprint that no one else can leave. Learning to discover, develop, and deploy this unique 1% is the key to unlocking your genius and solving the problems that only you can solve.

In this episode, Keith and Josh Craft look at the God-given 1% genius we all possess and how to use yours to win in life.

There is nothing that speaks louder to legacy than fruit. In this episode, Josh, Keela, and Whitney Craft talk about growing up in the Craft home and how core values shaped so much of their expected behavior and family standards.

The Craft family values are honor, positive attitude, excellence, leadership, and generosity. Listen as they talk through their experiences with core values and the impact it has had on them as they start their own values.

Don't just be a hearer only though. Go live a core values based life and create family core values if you don't already have them. 

There is no Waze for life. You have to navigate it's obstacles, ups, and downs the best you can.

Most people in life get more of what they don't want rather than what they want because they never really decide what it is they do want.

You have to know what it is you want before you can get what you want/navigate to it.

In this episode we look at the various obstacles we have to navigate in life and give practical wisdom for doing so.

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.

In this episode, Keith goes through his top 10 Leadershipologies and shares some of the thinking that led him to develop them.

More than just a theory, we talk about the ability we have through attitude to bring positive into every situation. We look at Jesus dealing with negativity and temptation and take the lessons from His life to give us a pattern to follow in dealing with negativity.

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.

Did you know we are wired for meaning? The question man has struggled with for all time is, "Why?"

In this episode recorded from 2019, we go into the importance of meaning in our lives and the need we all have to assign meaning to things in order to answer the burning question of why.

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.

Mental health and wellness is a common known term, but we coined a new term to describe how to be both mentally wealthy and well all at the same time. Why did we coin the term wealthness? Because there are a lot of people who have wealth, but they are not well. There are a lot of people that are well, but they don't have wealth. Why not have both? That is what this podcast is about.
