The Determined People Podcast
Hello! Welcome to The Determined People Podcast, hosted by John Harrell, bestselling author, inspirational speaker, blogger and now podcaster. The Determined People Podcast is a two-pronged approach to podcasting. Every day I offer a 30 second inspirational message designed to start your day the right way. It’s not rah-rah stuff or fluff. The messages are designed to make you think, to inspire you, and to sustain you as you face the unknown challenges of the day. Bi-weekly I post interviews with real people who have honest, relatable stories. People who are willing to share their experience, strength and hope from their own life’s difficulties. When you listen to their stories, it is my hope you think, if they made it, so can I. Our world needs hope, and everyone I meet has a story. All of us have faced difficulties. In fact, we are facing one now…the global pandemic which has compromised our lives, our mental health and has impacted all of us uniquely. By sharing our stories, we connect at the heart level. We are unguarded. And through podcasting, these stories are available whenever you need them. So let’s get started.

Chores
What comes to mind when you think of doing chores? In today's episode, I examine a different way to look at them.

In today's episode I ask you to consider the inspiring story of Walt Disney.
The Seduction of Wealth
Money and power are intoxicating. But what good are they if we only use them for ourselves? Worship God, not money.
Finding God
Our encounters with God don't have to be like a three-ring circus or a pyrotechnic rock show. Find God in the quiet.
Childlike Curiosity
Toddlers might be some of our best teachers. Take a minute to listen and find out why.
If You Need To Tell...
Work hard. Stay humble. If you need to tell others how great you are, you probably aren't...
Condemned
Catastrophic events allow us to see the good in people. I believe most people are good at heart, and you cannot convince me otherwise. But there is one who never condemns us...
You Must Be Mistaken
We all make mistakes. But there are people in this world who like to remind us of everything we have ever done wrong. Those people aren't your people.
In Preparation
Every experience we have in life is preparing us for something else. We don't have the privilege to know what that something else is. Just know this to be true.
From Those Who Came Before Us
Learn from others who have been where you are. Wise people won't tell you what to do. Rather, they will allow you to figure it out for yourself.
The Quiet Good
It isn't necessary to call attention to ourselves constantly. It's a great temptation to do so in today's society. Go about your work quietly and with purpose. The right people will notice...
David and Goliath
Are you facing challenges in your life? Maybe they seem insurmountable. Please consider the story of David and Goliath. It is as true today as it was then.
Yes or No
We aren't given the privilege to know or understand why things happen. We live in an imperfect world with imperfect people. But God remains at work in our lives. Say yes to Him and no to anything and…
Seeing Beyond What You Can See
In today's episode, we consider the story of Joseph.
Miracles Happen Every Day
Miracles didn't only happen during Jesus' time on earth. They are happening all around us. Slow down a little and take a look.
The Moral Majority
The Moral Majority political movement is no longer with us. But morals never go out of style.
Hanging Around With Jesus
I believe Jesus would have been a blast to hang around with! What do you think?
