The Drew McClure Podcast

Why does it sometimes seem impossible to make changes and move forward? Maybe the biggest roadblock is not found in the world around you, but in the world inside of you. Our assumptions and beliefs shape the way we see our lives, and not always for the better. I am here to tell you that just because life has always been like that, doesn’t mean it always will be like that. There is one word that has the power to infuse your life with hope and change the way you think.

The title of this episode is a metaphor for seasons that we will all walk through. In these seasons of struggle and transformation, we often feel broken, exposed, and drained. Our instinct is to turn away and hold our breath as we wait for something to change for the better. But what would happen if we really pressed in during these times? We could build a stronger foundation, discover unexpected treasure, and dig deeper into who we are.

Today is not about why but instead about what and how. I want to take something that feels mysterious and make it simple.   

Mysterious things happen around us and to us, all the time but who we have become and where we’ve ended is not a mystery. 

Every day we travel down familiar roads. We take the same turns at each intersection and then consequently find ourselves in the same places. So what would it be like and where could you go if you simply started making different turns? Different reactions, different decisions, different attitudes, and mindsets. Let’s explore this for a minute.

After Episode Exercise:

1) Describe where you are

2) Now ask what roads lead there

3) Describe where you want to go

4) Now ask what roads might lead there

Do you ever feel like a duck who is calm on the surface of the water but beneath the legs are churning like crazy? Welcome to most of my life. Sometimes the churning was intense and other times it was just a subtle annoying disturbance in the background of my life. Either way, it sucked and it has been a serious journey to become a less anxious and more peaceful person. But in order to do that, I had to stop wishing and waiting for peace and instead actually listen to and learn about peace. 

In a book of the Bible, Proverbs, the writer personified Wisdom as a "woman crying out loud in the streets" to anyone who would listen. The assertion was that you could have "wisdom" and be a "wise person" if you would listen and respond to the things Wisdom was saying. I think of having peace the same way. I believe we can "have peace" and be a "peaceful person" if we are willing to respond to what Peace requires. We all wish for internal peace and even ask God for peace but have we ever stopped to listen to what Peace may be asking of us?

In my experience, peace can usually be found when I either confront what I have been avoiding or finally embrace what I have been resisting. After doing those things I notice that Peace seems to be a regular guest in my home. Enough with all the metaphor? What in the world am I talking about? Listen and find out!

He has done everything from helping start a wakeboarding instruction company, to managing a fast food restaurant, to working for a church, to being a corporate recruiter to now being a highly valued coach/consultant for executives.

Jordan has gone on his "hero's journey' if you will. If you have ever had a hard time figuring out where you fit or who you really are then this episode is for you!

Imagine for a second that you signed up for a marathon and on race morning you showed up dehydrated, hungover and running on two hours of sleep. Somebody would most likely pull you aside and say something to the effect of "marathons are hard enough without you making it harder on yourself."

Life is just like that marathon. For that matter, so is marriage, parenting, friendship and any meaningful work in the world. They are all hard enough on there own without you making it harder. Have you ever stopped and asked the question "how am I making this harder than it has to be?" The answer to that question is the perfect place to start or refresh your journey of growth and transformation.
