Shopify: Start your $1/month trial at Shopify.com/trent HEY REHABBERS, Today’s mashup is your wake-up call. Too many of us are letting feelings lead our life, and I’m here to remind you, feelings can lie, but facts don’t. In this episode, I’m challenging you to stop letting temporary emotions make permanent decisions. It’s time to step out of what you feel and step into what you know. Because growth doesn’t happen when you’re comfortable, it happens when you get real with yourself. If you’ve been stuck, if you’ve been overthinking, if your emotions have been running the show, this one is for you. We’re shifting your mindset, grounding you in truth, and getting you back in control of your life. Let’s get it.

In this episode, I’m sitting down with one of my closest friends, Corey, and we’re having a real conversation about what people call a midlife crisis, but what we believe is really midlife drift. This isn’t about buying a sports car or making reckless decisions. It’s about waking up one day and realizing you’ve been living on autopilot, pouring into everyone else, chasing responsibilities, and somehow drifting away from you. We talk about how it happens, why it happens, and most importantly, how to take your life back with intention. Because here’s the truth. It’s not too late. You’re not stuck. And just because you drifted doesn’t mean you can’t redirect. If you’ve been feeling lost, disconnected, or just not like yourself lately, this conversation is for you. It’s time to stop drifting, and start living on purpose again.

Shopify: Start your $1/month trial at Shopify.com/trent My friend, let me be real with you… your feelings will lie to you if you let them lead your life. In today’s episode, I’m breaking down one of the toughest battles we all face, the battle within. Too many people are stuck because they move when they feel like it, they quit when it gets hard, and they let emotions decide their future. That stops today. I’m going to show you why intention will always beat motivation, how to stop letting temporary feelings create permanent setbacks, and the real steps to take your power back. This isn’t about ignoring your emotions, it’s about mastering them so they don’t master you. If you’re tired of starting and stopping, tired of doubting yourself, and ready to grow into the person you know you’re called to be, this episode is for you. It all starts with you.

Controlled by habits. Controlled by emotions. In this episode, I’m breaking down the real, raw steps you need to take to take your power back. This isn’t surface-level motivation, this is about mastering your mindset, building discipline that actually sticks, and creating a life you can be proud of when nobody’s watching. If you’re tired of starting over, tired of making excuses, and tired of letting your feelings run your life, this episode is for you. No fluff. No sugarcoating. Just the truth that will change how you live. It all starts with what you choose to control.

Danny is an author, entrepreneur, and spiritual guide who has helped thousands of people break free from the beliefs and patterns that keep them stuck.

We also dive into faith, personal responsibility, and the courage it takes to break cycles that may have been running your life for years. This episode isn’t about motivation. It’s about transformation. If you’ve ever felt stuck in patterns you can’t explain, struggled with your identity, or know deep down you’re meant for more but something keeps holding you back, this conversation is for you.

You might know Stephen as the writer behind the song Come Jesus Come, a song that has reached over 100 million people and was recently honored with a GMA Dove Award through the incredible voices of CeCe Winans and Shirley Caesar. But his story goes far deeper than music. Stephen opens up about his journey from being a preacher’s kid, to falling into addiction and becoming a meth addict, to ultimately finding redemption and purpose as a worship leader. This conversation isn’t about pretending life is perfect. It’s about what happens when your life falls apart and God still meets you right there. Stephen’s message is simple but powerful: if God can restore his life, then nobody is too far gone. No mistake, no failure, no broken season is bigger than the grace that can transform your life. This is a real conversation about brokenness, healing, and what it truly means to be radically restored. If you’ve ever felt like your past disqualifies you, this episode is going to remind you that your story isn’t over.
