503 - Praying Won’t Fix Stupid Habits (Here’s What Will)
You keep praying for a better life — more money, a better marriage, peace of mind — but nothing changes. Why? Because prayer won’t fix stupid habits.
You can pray all day, but if you’re still eating like trash, still blaming everybody else, still out of order… don’t expect different results.
In this episode, CJ, ET, and Pastor TJ break down why your sequence matters more than your intentions — and why God’s blessings aren’t missing, you’re just out of alignment.
👊 What you’ll get from this episode:
The painful truth about why prayer without work fails
How being “out of order” destroys success in every area
The cheat code of sequence — and how to reset it
Why accountability beats excuses every time

502 - Stop Holding It In - You’re Destroying Your Relationships
You think staying quiet is keeping the peace — but it’s killing your marriage, your friendships, and your opportunities. In this raw conversation from the S2S Podcast, the guys get brutally honest about the damage caused by holding things in for years, avoiding hard conversations, and expecting others to “just know” how you feel.
Learn why unspoken frustrations become resentment, how your silence might be teaching your kids unhealthy patterns, and why the same energy you use to make excuses could have already fixed the problem. From marriage lessons to personal breakthroughs, this episode is a wake-up call to speak up, take responsibility, and stop self-sabotaging the relationships that matter most.
