You work towards a goal. You hit it. You feel amazing for 10 minutes. Then you're back to the grind, chasing the next one.
You miss the goal. You feel like the world's biggest loser. You spiral. You hustle harder. You push yourself to the breaking point.
And you're exhausted.
What if I told you that you're playing the wrong game entirely?
In this vulnerable and powerful episode, Josiah Ryan opens up about his grandmother's funeral (she was 98, lived an incredible life) and shares a life-changing lesson about inputs vs. outputs, process vs. results, and why you're killing yourself chasing goals that don't matter.
Here's the truth: you can't control the outcomes. You can only control your inputs.
God controls the results. And His results are always better than yours.
What you'll learn in this episode:
Why focusing on results instead of process makes you unhappy very quickly How to flip your mindset from "results-obsessed" to "process-focused" Why you take too much responsibility for outcomes that aren't yours to control How "doing your best today" is the only thing you need to do (Matthew 6) Why God works IN the results of things—even the failures, losses, and things that don't go according to plan The difference between taking responsibility for your actions vs. taking responsibility for all outcomes Why specific goals can trap you in a never-ending grind of achievement and emptiness How to ask God "What do you want me to do today?" instead of living and dying by goals What it means that "you are the pieces on God's chessboard"—and why that's actually liberating Why open hands, open heart, open ears, open eyes to God's will changes everything How God's peace and unspeakable joy are available to you—even in hard times Why you don't need a million dollars, 10 million, or any amount of money to be truly happy What it means to seek God first and watch all other things get added to you (Matthew 6:33)
This episode is vulnerable. It's real. And it will challenge everything you think you know about success, goals, and what it means to be happy.
If you're exhausted from chasing goals that never satisfy, if you're spiraling when you miss targets, if you're trying to control outcomes that aren't yours to control—this episode will set you free.
You're not responsible for the outcomes. God is. And His love, peace, and joy are available right now—not after you hit the next goal.
