Midweek Motivation Live! With Patrick Lee!

Over the last couple of weeks, we have been talking about helping other people become better... We talked about leaving the ladder down... then we talked about seeing something in people even before they see it in themselves... Today, I want to take that one step further... because believing in people is powerful... but eventually belief needs responsibility... It needs purpose... It needs contribution... There is something that happens inside a person when they realize, “Someone is counting on me”

The purpose of this episode is not to teach empty flattery. It is to teach people how to recognize potential, speak courageously to others, create opportunities, and remain patient while they grow.

Once we have reached any level of success or achievement, do we keep that all to ourselves? Or do we help others do the same? Leave the Ladder Down talks to us about leaving an open door, a lighted path, or a road map for others to follow so they can reach their goals!

Some people show up, make a big splash, and then disappear forever. What difference will WE make in this life?  How can I know that I made a difference in this world?  Remember ME! Living a life that matters!

We usually say those words when we're frustrated... Somebody does something ridiculous and we say, "Good grief"... The day falls apart... Good grief... but this morning, I want to ask you a very different question...
Is there actually such a thing as good grief?
Can we learn to grieve in a way that honors what we've lost without losing ourselves in the process? I believe there is, and it's IMPORTANT to your future!

Let me ask you something this morning...When you hear the word "pride," who comes to mind? Maybe a celebrity...A politician...A difficult boss...Someone arrogant...Someone who always has to be right... But probably not you...

That's what makes pride so dangerous...

How many people are praying for peace while allowing chaos unrestricted access to their lives? They consume anxiety all day long and wonder why they feel anxious...The truth is, peace doesn't happen accidentally. Peace must be protected intentionally...And practiced consistently.

Your breakthrough could be closer than you think! Don't let temporary frustration talk you out of a permanent blessing. Don't allow a difficult season to convince you that God has abandoned His plan for your life. The same God who brought you this far is not going to leave you now. So don't quit! I believe in you. It's time YOU started believing in you. You are on the right track! Don't give up now!

Let me ask you something this morning… how many people are walking around smiling publicly while quietly falling apart internally? What do we even do with that? Let's talk about. You will thank me for it...

Many of us are carrying things we were never intended to carry. Fear, doubt, frustration. We are influenced by people who should have no place in our lives. We, in turn, feel empty, stressed, exhausted...I don't believe this is what you meant to carry!  Let's talk about this today!

Let me ask you something… who’s been talking to you lately?  Not the people around you. Not social media. Not the news. I’m talking about the voice in your own head.  Because some of you are losing battles externally that actually started internally.

Support the show

Today’s episode is different.

Because most of what you’ve been told about motivation… is incomplete.

Social media sold you the highlights.

The gurus sold you the dopamine.

The influencers sold you the Lamborghini version of success.

But they left out the dark parts.

The lonely parts.

The repetitive parts.

The parts that don’t trend.

Barnabas never wrote a book of the Bible.
 He wasn’t the most quoted.
 He wasn’t the most visible.

But his impact?
It’s woven into the lives of the people he lifted. And that’s the kind of influence that lasts.

Let this settle in… these 6 truths are not optional. They are not flexible. They do not change based on how you feel. They are shaping your life—right now. So the question is not whether they’re true… the question is—are you living in alignment with them?

It’s rainy. It’s foggy. It’s gray.

And if we’re being honest… sometimes life feels the exact same way....

But I’ve got a word for you today—

Just because you can’t see clearly, it doesn’t mean God isn’t working powerfully.

Let me say this plainly: Jesus did not rise from the grave so you could keep living like you’re buried. The resurrection was not just proof of His power—it was a declaration of yours through Him. If Christ got up, then you have no business staying down in what God has called you to rise above. If Jesus rose, so should YOU!

As long as you keep feeding your addiction to fresh starts, you will never build anything that lasts. Real transformation doesn’t happen in week one. It happens in the weeks when nobody sees you, when you don’t feel like it, and when nothing feels exciting anymore. That’s where your future is decided. If you want to break the cycle, stop celebrating starts—and start honoring consistency. Because finishing is where your identity is forged.”

“Let me challenge you right out of the gate…You’re not stuck.

You’re not confused. You’re not waiting on the right opportunity.
 And you’re not lacking information. You’re just… comfortable. Comfortable doing what’s easy.
 Comfortable putting things off.
 Comfortable knowing what you should do—and still not doing it.

And the truth is…
 Comfort feels good in the moment…

…but it’s quietly destroying your future.”

Last episode we talked about Dominion Through Discipline. The idea was simple but powerful: God entrusts authority to disciplined people. Not the most talented. Not the most visible. The most faithful. But that raises an important question. What happens when God sees discipline in someone’s life? What happens when Heaven recognizes consistency, obedience, and integrity? Scripture gives us the answer again and again: God entrusts stewardship. Discipline proves readiness. Stewardship proves faithfulness. And faithfulness leads to influence.

Support the show

Dominion is not something you chase — it is something you are entrusted with. And God does not entrust greater influence to people with an unstable character. He entrusts it to disciplined hearts. If you want more authority, build more obedience. If you want more influence, master yourself first! Listen in to learn how!

Over the past few weeks, we’ve been talking about leadership, growth, and legacy. But today we shift into something extremely practical — because none of those things happen without Discipline.

Why do some people need applause and cheers for everything they do or say? Does that sound like they are playing the long game? Like they are trying to build something that lasts? I don't think so. Let's see what Ed Mylett and John Maxwell say about that!

Today, we’re talking about leadership—not the kind that chases applause, but the kind that stands firm when culture pushes back.

We’re living in a time where leaders are rewarded for being loud, reactive, and agreeable—but punished for being clear, grounded, and principled. And that tension raises a real question:...Find the answers in today's Podcast!

What you tell people about your success and what you do with that success matters. Do riches, fame, and influence have any value if they don't make a positive difference in the world?

“Give me 30 minutes, and I’ll change your life forever.”
 That’s not arrogance — that’s belief. Belief that one powerful encounter, one shift in mindset, one God-inspired word can ignite a lifetime of change. The truth is, you don’t need another year — you need one defining moment where you finally decide: I’m done living below my potential.
