Join me on the True Man Podcast as I reimagine the holiday name of Thanksgiving to "Giving Thanks"—a shift from a day to a way of life. Instead of simply celebrating what we have, we’d focus on actively appreciating and giving back, allowing gratitude to guide our lives beyond a single day. In this episode, I explore how adopting a daily "Giving Thanks" mindset can deepen our faith, strengthen our Relationships, and bring purpose and joy that lasts far beyond the holiday season. #truemanpodcast #startyourcomebackstoryContact Mike Van Pelt:(864) 266- 2058mike@truemanlifecoaching.comhttps://…

What if, instead of ‘Happy Thanksgiving,’ we said ‘Happy Giving Thanks?’ Just one word flipped, but the meaning shifts entirely.Thanksgiving can feel like a day handed to us, but ‘Giving Thanks’ is a way of life—a choice we make daily.Imagine if ‘Giving Thanks’ wasn’t just a holiday, but a daily practice. This outlook could transform how we approach family, work, faith, and purpose. This week on the True Man Podcast, I discuss how scripture reminds us: “Give thanks in all circumstances.” Living out gratitude isn’t just feeling thankful: it’s show it.When we g…

In this episode of the True Man Podcast, I’m diving deep into what it means to discover God’s will for our lives. Join me as I break down how to discern God’s guidance through building a relationship with Him, embracing silence to hear His voice, and courageously walking in faith, even when the path isn’t fully clear. #truemanpodcast #startyourcomebackstoryContact Mike Van Pelt: (864) 266- 2058mike@truemanlifecoaching.comhttps://www.truemanlifecoaching.com Order Mike’s latest collaboration book:Cracking The Rich Codehttps://www.truemanlifecoaching.com Pre Order Mike’s new book:T…

Here is a a big question every man faces: What is God’s will for my life? This week on the True Man Podcast, I explore God’s will for our lives. God’s will isn’t about rigid choices—it’s about walking with Him and finding Clarity through that journey. It starts by delighting in God. Psalm 37:4 tells us, 'Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.'" Seeking God’s will is about daily, faithful steps—listening, trusting, and acting with confidence. Remember, it’s a journey, not a one-time answer. Catch the full episode at truemanpodcast.co…

Join me on the True Man Podcast as I talk about potential. Potential is the raw material inside each man. It’s the untapped talent, unfulfilled purpose, and the ability to do more and be more. Think of potential as a block of granite that’s waiting to be carved into something significant. It’s not yet realized, but it’s there waiting to be developed. #truemanpodcast #startyourcomebackstory Contact Mike Van Pelt: (864) 266- 2058mike@truemanlifecoaching.comhttps://www.truemanlifecoaching.com Order Mike’s latest collaboration book:Cracking The Rich Codehttps://www.truemanlifecoachi…
