Selfish
On an airplane, you are instructed to put the mask on yourself before you try to help someone else. Should we be self-absorbed, no. Are there times you must put your concerns first, yes! Find out when you need to be, Selfish.
Franchise Player
With the #1 pick in the draft, the team often selects a player that they hope will change the fortune of the organization. Likewise we make choices that change our futures.
Eye on the Ball
One of the first things a coach will tell you in sports is, "Keep your eye on the ball." Ball control leads to victory so it's vital that you know where it is. How does this apply to our daily lives?
Schemes
When you hear this word, do you think of scammers, or plans for advancement?
Team Captain
The captain of a sports team have more than just something different on their jersey. They have the responsibility of leading the team to victory.
Offensive Mindset
If you are only thinking about defending, how can you gain an advantage? At some point you need that defense to turn into offense to win.
Stats Pt. 4
One of the best ways to prove something is real is to test it against what you know it is not. That's what we do with Love in this, the final installment of our "Stats" series.
He's Right There (Time Out)
How did Coach Prime lead his team against USC while his son is on the sidelines? Why does God allow pain and suffering? What do these have to do with each other?
Stats Pt. 3 - What it Does
What good is a tool, if you don't know its capabilities. Likewise if we don't know what love is, then how can we truly experience it?
Stats Pt. 2 - What It Ain't
Often to know what something is, you have to know what it is not. In part two of our series, Stats, we will look at what characteristics do not reflect Love.
Stats Pt. 1 - What It Is
This is the first in a series. We will look at what Key Performance Indicators when it comes to love. What is it's true definition, what does it look like & how does it behave.
Vulnerable
Vulnerability leads to authentic relationships. Unfortunately, we have to guard ourselves because of what others may take advantage of these things. Is there a place where we can truly be vulnerable?
Dominion
Mankind was created to have dominion. Along the way we lost it. Learn how to regain your rightful place.
1 Day Contract
Often when a player signs a 1 Day Contract, they go on to be an ambassador, representing them until their days are no more. Is there any wrong so bad that Jesus can't forgive to reconcile us like player and team?
Father of Freedom
Many people have father wounds. Either from the absence of their father of the pain of poor parenting. A good father is an educator and puts the child on the road to success, a road to freedom.
Self-Love
Conor McGregor is the most famous and possibly the most polarizing man in MMA. There is no doubt that the man loves himself. Find out what true self-love looks like.
Banners
It's Memorial Day weekend. For most of us that means the beginning of summer. What is this in memorial of and why is it important to remember our past?
You Know Him, Right?
So often we say we know someone because we know certain facts or things about them. Without spending time in there presence and getting to know their character, we can't really know them.
The Best & The Rest (Time Out!)
The Miracle on Ice, The Giants SB win to spoil the Pats undefeated season, Buster Douglas KO's Tyson. Against all odds they won, like David defeating Goliath.
How can we be victorious when defeat is imminent?
I've Got This (Time Out)
We have all had instances where we have overestimated out abilities. What drives us to do this? In today's Time Out we'll explore those motivators and how to avoid these mistakes in the future.

There is a key skill that QB and Point Gaurds posses. This is also a characteristic that defines God.
13 Mix
Playing around with Stems in this mix. Putting vocals over new tracks and using the songs to build on each other.
The Remix (Time Out)
There's nothing like a remix to breath new life into a song and extend its impact. What areas of our lives need a remix? How do we get it?
What are you doing?
Have you ever seen a fan charge a player and ask, "What are you doing?" Fandom does not give you the same privileges' as players. Same principle applies in the game of life.
Come On Ref! (Time Out!)
Have you ever felt like someone treated you unfairly? You got passed over, your workload increased, or the punishment didn't fit the crime. How can we get anything good out of such a bad situation?
Why!?1
We have all made huge mistakes and for some of us it's not the first time we've done this specific thing. It seems we keep repeating the same errors over and over with no hope of changing. Why do we do this when we know it's no good?
Contract Demands (Time Out!)
During Free Agency we here a lot of talk about contracts. The clauses, bonuses, restrictions they have. There is a contract for the one thing, everyone is searching for. Today we explore what that is and what demands we must fulfill to get it.
Portrait of Love

Call It Out!
Actions speak louder than words, but what about when your words are your actions? Sometimes we need to speak up about things, especially in others lives.
Sell Out (Time Out)
The true measure of your feelings for someone or something is your effort. Are you giving your all or are you all talk?
Rejection (Time Out)
If you are over the age of 2, you have been rejected. A job, a love interest, even a hello, we have all put ourselves out there, and our offering was not received. How do you act, better yet, how should you react when rejected?
The Power of Proximity
In the first Time Out of November, Tha Voyze discusses the age old saying of "It's not what you know, but who you know."
Insecure
Nona Jones, a pastor in Gainesville FL, and Meta Exec. for faith based partnerships. Said in prayer the Lord told her that Insecurity is not about ego. It’s a function of what your identity is secured to. What anchors your identity?
Divine Forgiveness (Time Out!)
It's been said, "To err is human, to forgive is divine." Is that true and what does this kind of forgiveness look like?
Value (Time Out!)
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What's junk to the untrained eye is a gold mine to the educated. Value is determined by the one whose exchanging goods. How valuable are you?
Off The Bench (Time Out!)
To make a giant leap forward, sometimes you have to take two steps back. Today we look at how Steph Curry's start to this years NBA Playoffs can encourage us to humble ourselves for the good of the team.
Same Same (Time Out!)
As the old adage goes, the more things change, the more they stay the same. That's true in sports and in life.

Good and Pain are seemingly oxymoron's. We are taught as children to avoid situations that are painful, however some of the greatest growth we experience is after going through painful situations.

Be Still (Time Out!)
Running has many benefits. How beneficial are Middle and Long Distance track races though and what does this have to do with life?
He's On Fire!
In the 90's few things said basketball that the Video Game NBA Jam. Just like getting on a roll made you unstoppable in the game, those in Christ also have a level of invincibility.
We Are One (Time Out!)
As the saying goes, no man is an Island. This simply means that we all have a need for other people. God said it was not good for man to be alone so with his last creation he ensured that mankind would have the support needed to be fulfilled. In this time out we explore the importance of unity and camaraderie.
Product of Purpose
When Prince made music, Piccasso painted, or Henry Ford instituted the assembly line, mankind witnessed masterpieces. Likewise, when we move in our purpose we produce much greater results than using our energy other places. Todays episode explores the exponential growth produced by purpose.
Good Works Vs. Purpose
Good is said to be the enemy of great. What good things are you allowing to destroy your greatness?
The Pursuit (Time Out!)
In life we all chase things; fame, power wealth and influence to name a few. Are we pursuing the most important things though and do we desire the skills needed to be successful?
Perpetual Flame (Time Out!)
