3 Nephi 1-7 Part 2 • Dr. Craig Manning • September 16 - September 22 • Come Follow Me •

[@AustinBlackhurst7]

I have been praying for some solid advice or counseling this week and I didn’t know where to find it. I feel like this podcast with Dr Manning was the answer to my prayers. His advice on finding truth was monumental to the way I want to think about things in the future. Dr Manning, Thank you so much for your solid advice and sound mind that was so helpful to me today.

[@MarkMcArthur]

I will be listening to this podcast over, and over, and over again. These are things I need to hear at this point in my life. Thank you Dr. Manning.

[@MarkMcArthur]

Pray with "specificity"!

[@michaelk7678]

The follow him podcast keeps getting better every week, but this podcast with Dr. Craig Manning was over the top for me. I think it’s the best one I’ve ever listened to, and please pass on my admiration and appreciation to him for his comments and his amazing philosophy of life. Just full of Wisdom & Truth !

[@sollycrew]

I agree- I’m a longtime listener, and feel like this episode goes beyond the seminary teaching to youth to useable content for adults. We don’t need to know what to do, we need to under ourselves, our thinking , our motivations - everything that affects our behavior as so much of that is run on automatic. As a multi- decade coach all I could say was YES!! Last night my husband came in so excited saying I had to listen to this podcast!! Even though he has heard and seen me use these truths for performance, Dr. Manning really spoke to him. Adults need this kind of relating the scriptures, the doctrines, the principles in our minds. Great content, great perspectives, great truths! Thank you. Have him in again!!!

[@TheRms64]

I had no idea I could learn so much wisdom and inspiration from a sports psychologist! Wow - thank you so much to Dr Manning. This one is a keeper.

[@TheChristianGirrl]

Amen!

[@rosemaryfrederico3677]

This was one of the best episodes I've ever listened to. Dr. Manning's teachings about truth were eye opening. Truth is what we all seek. I appreciate his testimony and love of the gospel. Thank you for your insights and understanding.

[@lizwood1315]

I am blown away by what I learned today. Some of the best therapy on truth, communication, self-awareness… that I have ever heard. What I learned from Dr. Craig today, I feel like it was a perfect summation of the best psychology book that I could’ve ever read. he takes his incredible knowledge and ties it to the gospel and the application of the scriptures. Thank you, thank you for what he taught us Lives have been changed through his shared expertise. Each week on follow him, I am so elevated by the inspiration and gospel knowledge shared by these incredible scholars. Such a gift.

[@jenbright5]

Dr Manning! You taught me many years ago on the tennis court at BYU and now I am continuing that teaching to high school tennis girls in Washington State. Thank you for the reminder of teaching with exactness and truth and for speaking to our Father in heaven articulately. Thank you for sharing your time with us!

[@themom1980]

Oh my, I will be listening/watching these two episodes for a long time to come. Thank you and bless you all!

[@patricefairbanks3502]

SO much meaty content! Thank you 3 brothers for teaching & sharing. My favorite take away from this broadcast, among such others, is to pray with "specificity"! When we don't take the time with our prayers to ask specifically and then listen carefully for answers, we miss great opportunities for personal revelation that the Savior has ready to give us. I love "Follow Him" & all that I have & am learning!

[@cheriseelliott9230]

Wow! Thank you for this wonderful conversation! I love that the scriptures can be approached from any angle. Also, all disciplines can be strengthened and understood more deeply by applying scripture to them. This was great!!

[@rachelleguymon8429]

This podcast guest couldn't have come at a more important time for me to help family members, and myself. I learned so much and each minute I need to break down because there is so much incredible insight and wisdom. I'm truly grateful for this episode. Every episode is wonderful. This one struck a specific cord. Thank you Craig! And Hank and John. I listen every week and it enhances my study 100%

[@tkwilliams3632]

Dr. Manning brings a feast to my table. I will be reviewing my notes with ernest dedication. I am so grateful to meet this scholar and the am strengthened by this conversation between you three and us. So blessed!

[@manosvbs]

I listen to the podcasts on my morning walks in the BGC area Manila, Philippines. I love it! At times, tears flow down my cheeks, but with the heat and humidity no ones knows are tears. Thanks for all the people that put this show in the air and for the amazing speakers you bring to the show.

[@mchabries]

I have had to pause, countless times, to reflect on the truth Dr. Manning is highlighting. Truth pierces error and falsehood more quickly and with precision that I have not previously understood. Thank you Dr. Manning, Hank, and John.

[@SteeleAndrews]

Thank you Bro. Manning; I was touched by all of your solid, clear messages. I hope I can incorporate these things into my daily life. I already got your book about fear, I've watched this podcast twice. Absolutely solid.

[@deborahsudweeks5395]

I listen to your podcast every morning as I go on my power-walk. I pray for both of you and your families. I am grateful to you good men who take time out of your lives to share your knowledge of the scriptures to the world. The spirit teaches and testifies to me every time. I love all your guests. Dr Manning's teachings were especially powerful for me in many ways. I hope you bring him back again and again.

[@hennore]

Dr. Manning was my sports psychology professor, and he changed my life. I rooted for the Milwaukee Bucks because of him. Loved hearing his insights on The Book of Mormon. Great episode!

[@annebilanzich7912]

Thank you- I echo John where I feel like my life has been changed. You have inspired me to want to continually become (although sometimes the thought is somewhat exhausting)! I'm ready to exit survival mode. I could feel my mom who passed away during this who always taught me to "be assertive." I took so many notes and I am mind blown! Dr. Manning you have helped answer specific questions I have had and I have felt your spirit. The truth truly does set you free. I hope I can be less careless and feel confident in sharing truth. The more I learn the more confident I get so thank you Hank and John for offering this! You are all some of my heroes! So much gratitude to you all today!

[@brianrudd7096]

Dr. Manning, I so enjoyed how you were able to tie your professional education and experience into the teachings of the Book of Mormon. Thank you for taking your time and sharing your testimony and certainly understanding of people and situations to better understand ways to become a better disciple of Christ!

[@amberrobinson2024]

I have been praying specifically and searching for years to find someone in the world of sports who understands truth in this way and how it effects who we can become, for my son. He has been blessed with the capacity to become an elite athlete and a leader in all things. He recognizes the gift he has been given, but something is holding him back. The pain of life is deep for him and seeing him struggle to face each day leaves me feeling alone and helpless. Thank you for being who you are. You speak what I have learned through the spirit and I know you know. I realize having him meet with you probably is unrealistic, so I will pray to know how to influence him to read your book and listen to this podcast.

[@brookemeyer9185]

I loved the part Dr Manning explained about fear! Just days ago a neighbor told me he is constantly in fear that neighbors don’t like his family. I felt inspired to share this with him. Thank you!

[@collinsharrell5738]

Dr. Craig Manning brought one of the most inspiring messages to this study. His perspective and the inspiring way he shares truth was amazing. I am inspired.

[@scatherinehester4612]

Life changing in the loveliest way! I feel like I understand myself better, and my focus is on that which matters most! I love words and these were so powerful and important and just so good! To focus on speaking truth, to focus on becoming, to keep my prayers specific, intentional and deliberate, and remember remember… Bring good energy ❤ Thank you Dr. Manning and always, thank you Hank Smith and John Bytheway!!

[@CissyJordan-n7t]

Enjoyed this podcast but I will be hearing it a few more times to really "catch" everything. Lots of wisdom there and I want to go back again and again to really hear and understand it a little deeper. Thx again.

[@lindas.hampson4642]

Lucky for us.There are the notes and you can print it out and study it all you want. I have printed out.I'm reviewing it in high- lighting it and enjoying learning interfaced with the scriptures.

[@elainecarter4750]

Thanks for having Bro. Manning as your guest and for all of the insights that both John and Hank added to this podcast. I took 8 pages of notes from the great concepts and principles of truth that were presented. I love the variety of guests that you have, the good humor, the love of the Gospel and the Book of Mormon that is always displayed. Your Follow Him podcasts bless my life and SO many others. Thanks, Hank, John, and Craig. So glad that Craig found and joined the Church. Onward and upward.

[@robinruybal2948]

These were FANTASTIC sessions!!! I really enjoyed Dr Manning! Please bring him back!!!

[@lynettepetersen9675]

This episode with Dr Manning was so good!! I couldn't write fast enough. So many wonderful insights that I will be using in my life. Intentional prayers of specificity!!! Love this so much. Thank you!!

[@nancysimpson4584]

"what makes you interesting is who you really are" I loved this and needed to hear it.

[@catherinejohnson4089]

We need a book from Dr manning. I love neuroscience and the gospel links...life changing. The truth of transparency!

[@Muzzy2024]

He wrote The Fearless Mind. It’s so good!!!

[@nextgenerationsteelbuildin6144]

I'll add my own story to everyone else. I have learned things today regarding my fight or flight that I didn't know I had. My sons advise was to lean into helping myself thru a series of decisions that just made my head spin and then shut down. Your comments, Dr Manning, has help me on this journey. They have been so helpful for me. When I see these real life connections with those from the Book of Mormon, it adds greatly to my testimony of this great book. I love it!! *sigh So awesome.

[@TerriMoore-e1s]

Every once in a while (actually fairly often), I find myself wanting to listen to your show again. This is definitely one of those times. Dr. Manning helped me understand things about myself, and even more things about my son. I feel like I want to reach out to Dr. Manning with more questions! Thank you for inviting him to join you.

[@drsax3622]

I can’t thank Dr. Manning enough. Some of these lessons were a lifetime coming. Never heard it before but it helps me make a lot more sense of my part in the world. Thank you, thank you!

[@kodythurston5406]

Outstanding...Dr Manning is deep and powerful. Thank you, good brother for living a life that allows your understanding and love of God and His son to be shared with the world. "Be assertive, be confident and be humble!" Precious.

[@andreamattinson1782]

Pure truth and wisdom Love this guest Dr Manning He brings his spiritual experience into his worldly experience and blesses so many Love learning from guests like him Thank you From New Brunswick Canada 5:30pm😊

[@helenwilloughby650]

So educational . So much anxiety and depression now in families. Finding peace in a world of swirling ideas and challenges. Bless those of you who so freely share your tested knowledge that in many ways helps us as we study our scriptures and try so hard to compare their strengths to our own efforts in becoming.

[@tinagiles3544]

You guy’s always have such wonderful people who have great advice! Thank you Dr. Manning for being so truthful in sharing the gospel with us! We are so blessed to have the truth of the gospel on the earth!

[@JanaMaughan]

This was fantastic. We need to know how our brains work and mind our thoughts and constantly capture and remove what we don't want to have in our mind. I love Dr. Craig Manning and his clear thoughts and approach to TRUTH. Full of Light and Joy. Please let him know how much we appreciate these comments. I agree...forever changed for listening to this.

[@cindyread7470]

Every week my life is blessed because of this podcast. Dr. Manning shared things about truth and becoming that are already blessing my life. How grateful I am for the variety of people that you invite to discuss the gospel with. It is truly life changing. Has given me so many opportunities to learn and grow. I will listen to this podcast several more times to uplift and edify me. Thanks so much to all three of you. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@robertaward4403]

Dr. Craig Manning- WOW! Thank you for so much!!!!

[@annedonovan7919]

This was an amazing podcast!! Thank You to Dr Manning for sharing your thoughts, your testimony , and the truth with all of us. I always love Follow Him and feel fed each week. This clear understanding of truth was so helpful! I am so thankful for John and Hank each week. You have the best guest to top off how amazing and loving you both are,

[@oliveoil2x]

Thank you! I’m so grateful for the lift these thoughts bring & for the Christ focused direction of these podcasts.

[@denisewinkowski4389]

I have been so uplifted by the last 3 guest! So many personal testimonials and inspired tactics for application in life .

[@stacygodnick3887]

So many things that clicked with me. First one was that when you can be completely transparent, it gives you such a feeling of freedom and the second one like unto it, Peace! ❤

[@Dan_Standring]

Dr. Manning is so brilliant! I had the pleasure of seeing Dr. Manning around campus as a student athlete at BYU and every time I talk to him I learn things that I’ll always remember. The first time I heard him speak I was a young kid attending a BYU sports camp and I have always remembered the things he taught to us kids in that room on BYU campus. The importance of becoming and how to recognize true happiness in our life really made this episode stand out, thanks so much!

[@lynettecole2105]

What an amazing podcast!! Dr. Manning was so inspiring. I went back and listened to it again so I could take pages of wonderful notes. I love the Follow Him podcasts and look forward to amazing scholars to learn from each week!! Thank you all so much for this wonderful resource!!

[@carolwhitaker3669]

Thank you Dr. Manning for your insights on truth, prayer, and understanding our behavior and its relationship with the gospel.

[@Palmnew]

This episode spoke to my soul. It has been so helpful to my husband and children. Thank you. The thoughts in specificity of prayer and positive energy, and John’s comments about the PEF will stay with me forever. Thank you.

[@shaunasandberg9753]

BYU-Pathway is a huge supplement to the PEF and in many cases makes PEF loans unnecessary

[@TiffanyHubbard-bl9mv]

I love this episode!! Knowing our true identity is so crucial. I lost mine my first year at BYU, and gratefully found it a few years later. Truth brings peace!! I’m going to listen to this again and recommend it to others! Thank you!!! (I’m going to apply some principles to improve my pickleball game too 😊)

[@sharmsmith1672]

Buster and I have enjoyed immensely Dr. Manning's concepts. I have always believed the power of the mind, truth, and attitude to move forward. Thanks Boys!

[@AliceGoodman-g7l]

Just love this podcast! This week was so over the top with good life lessons to follow

[@kristinsmith9168]

This was absolutely incredible to listen to. I normally take around a page of notes. This time I doubled that! Thank you Dr Manning for your time. John and Hank thank you for sharing your time and talents as well. You’re helping us all walk home to God.

[@arlenebassett4645]

I am so grateful for Dr. Manning insights on living in peace. We have control to learn of Christ, live in truth, gratitude and humility. Thank you so much.

[@whitdent2031]

I normally listen to these discussions doing things; driving, washing dishes, etc. This is the first guest I'm relistening to both part 1 and 2 and taking notes!!! Wow. Just wow!!!

[@MichaelLeigh-x4z]

Such an interesting and different way of discussing the scriptures and the gospel. Loved it, from beginning to end. Learned new ways to look at and evaluate my efforts and my experiences in life. Thanks to the three of you!

[@michellerichards8706]

Dr Manning is amazing. He speaks so much truth. Everything is made better after listening to Dr Manning. Love the podcast!

[@LisaSecrest]

I really appreciated this particular episode. Dr. Manning's explanations of truth, fight/flight, memory recall, effort, and specificity in prayer really hit me in my current mindset. So grateful for your show, all the guests are so wonderful!!

[@22bixby]

This was such an amazing message. This podcast was life-changing. I took so many notes that it took me two days to listen to both sessions. Thank you, thank you. My prayers are clearer and the answers are coming. Thank you!

[@dalegibson3443]

I appreciate the messages this week. I am going through some personal struggles and today's message was a DIRECT answer to what I need to do. Thank you for having Dr. Manning as a guest and thank you for your continued and valuable podcasts.

[@melaniekennedy7567]

Thoroughly enjoyed Dr. Mannings perspective this week. Another great episode, as always.

[@heatherkoelliker5053]

I am so thankful for your podcast, each week always teaches me new light and truth with the trials I am currently facing. I loved Dr. Manning's perspective, I took so many notes and look forward to sharing it with my family! ❤

[@1085jojo]

I can’t thank Craig enough for his words and insight today. After listening to this episode again, I felt compelled to comment. Understanding the difference between assertiveness and aggression will be life-changing for me. The truths he shared reminded me of a quote from Jordan Peterson: “If you say no, early in the cycle of oppression, and you mean what you say (which means you state your refusal in no uncertain terms and stand behind it), then the scope for oppression on the part of the oppressor will remain properly bounded and limited. The forces of tyranny expand inexorably to fill the space made available for their existence.” As someone who needed to learn that humility doesn’t equate to passiveness, this lesson was essential. It’s fascinating and thrilling how clearly the Spirit of the Lord can convey truth to our hearts and minds. Thank you, Hank, John, and Craig, from the bottom of my heart.

[@karenandmerrill]

I am so grateful for your messages i know the Church is true. I remember when i got the spirit more abundantly. I am humble and love learning. There.s so much in the Book Of Mormon.

[@anneecolette4397]

My understanding leveled up today! I have enjoyed several episodes this year. I choose to because you all love the book of Mormon like I love the book of Mormon. Your insights are enlightening and help my real life in real time. And I am SO GLAD I chose to listen today! I decided to comment because you encouraged us to and that Dr. Manning would get the message. I wanted to express my gratitude for him and his effort to convey some powerful connections. Recently, I have taken classes about mindfulness and I've been seeking Ted talks on human behavior and listening to books to learn about happiness and success in relationships. I want him to know that I heard him, and each time he offered the truth I was listening. I will go forward with more of the game changing truth that I need to exercise faith. Thank you!

[@dixietaylor3942]

I have been so encouraged by this podcast with Bro. Manning. What an inspiring way to view these sacred words and be able to apply the principles to my daily living. My heart was warmed and my desire to live my live with more meaningful prayer was strengthened. Thank you Dixie

[@staceybrumfield6403]

Thank you Brother Manning. What a blessing you are to all who listen to your clear and concise instruction. Your two sessions are such an inspiration to me and my husband. I, too, have re-lustened to the videos several times, and I plan to listen again and again, but with my notebook in hand. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! Much Gospel Love to you and to Brothers Smith and Bytheway. These sessions are always incredible. Just when I think you can't have better guests, you out do yourselves.

[@aleenholt3939]

Wow,wow,wow! Each week just gets better. Each of your guests along with you, Hank and John just bring the scriptures alive. Thank you for your knowledge and the incredible guests you bring on each week.

[@LoveLife2Heal]

Exactly the answers to many questions I’ve been having around relationships, life and marriage. Assertive over passive or aggressive, this is life-changing! This is how to become more like Christ! Thank you so much for your insights!

[@erikambailey]

I loved these episodes with Dr. Manning. I knew him in college and he has always been a guy with integrity. So smart, too! Love his perspective on these scriptures. Have him on again! 🙏

[@stephanieargyle7328]

This is one of the absolute BEST episodes. I have been able to apply the principles taught by Dr. Manning to my parenting skills and mental health struggles. My husband has applied them as well as a business executive and husband/father. I just can’t say enough. My teenage daughter’s favorite topics are religion, sports and psychology. She also loved learning from Dr. Manning. The Spirit has taught me much of these same principles and I heard it verified and reaffirmed through Dr. Manning, Hank Smith, and John Bytheway. I’m so grateful for truth and those who are willing to be true disciples of Christ in using their spiritual gifts to help others. This world needs to hear these truths now more than ever before.

[@RussellandJoanJohnson]

Wish this would have gone on for several more hours! Wonderful things to ponder about how we interpret and self awareness. Incredible tools to learn with, to overcome doubt and be positive. Thank you!

[@vanessastewart9421]

This episode with Dr. Manning was absolutely amazing!! Thank you so much!!

[@bsl5788]

Thank for having Dr. Manning as a guest. May need to listen to this one again! Surely the Lord has guided you in choosing the guests who come on.

[@marciacrandall6034]

As soon as I heard his voice I recognized Dr Manning from his BYU Devotional in 2017 you quoted that I've listened to many many times. He has such powerful insights into developing self and strengthening relationships - with God and others. I'm sure I'll listen to these sessions many more times as well and hope he'll come back on the podcast again.

[@ad4319]

I feel like I just got the best free coaching session I’ve ever had - so much value! What Dr. Manning taught about assertiveness vs. aggressiveness was mind-blowing. I’ve already found applications for me and how I interact with my husband and my children and how to teach my children about how to interact with others! And I LOVED when he talked about specificity in prayers - I have found that to be true as well. What an inspired choice for this week.

[@JessiLlamozas]

That was so amazing! Thank you for your insights Dr. Manning. I need to listen to it again and I want to share what I learned with my family. ❤

[@kaelswf123]

I loved the unique perspective Craig brings to the conversation and understanding of the gospel as it applies to us as individuals. Thank you for broadcasting this episode and all other episodes.

[@LeahHughes-j4z]

Thankyou Dr Manning for such insight to ourselves and traveling on the covenant path

[@taramansanarez8371]

What a timely message! Just outstanding information and testimony of truth! This episode will be on repeat for me! Thank you Bro. Manning for sharing your knowledge and experience and testimony with us.

[@amyhawkins6791]

Thank you for both of these episodes with Dr. Manning! We were given so much clarity on gospel topics as well as emotional and mental health; pointing out how true principles apply to each and every facet of our beings. I plan to listen to these episodes again. They are gold!

[@cindymiyasaki7577]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH! It is obvious how prayerful you both are about who to invite for each week’s discussion and study! I learned so much and appreciate all your time, efforts and sharing your years of study with us, Dr. Manning, John and Hank.

[@MargaretBleak]

This episode is so packed with wisdom from all three brethren that it will take me weeks and weeks to try to unpack it all. THANK YOU, God is good. ❤

[@Choosefaith7]

I listen to Follow Him every week and thoroughly enjoy it and learn a lot. I don’t usually comment , but i feel i need to this time. This was incredible. Thank you Dr Manning. I received so many insights they are hard to number. Assertive not aggressive. Truth. Clarity. I could go on and on. It was wonderful! Thank you so much!

[@renaemears6118]

Dr Manning's teachings, counsel, comments, and perspective was an answer to my prayers (in and through specificity) regarding personal confidence. It felt like my own personal therapy session, with the added benefit of teachings from 3 Nephi. This week's podcast not only brought the stories in 3 Nephi to life, it also gave my life balance and peace. I'm on my third time listening and following!

[@dianachambers1039]

Super grateful for your insights each week, for your consistency and preparation. You help me feel the spirit and dig deeper into the material.

[@tiffanyallred6395]

What transformative information. I think I’ve taken two pages of notes. Thank you so much, Dr. Manning for your Expertise, your stories, your candor and your encouragement. I feel truly blessed. You are now tied as my favorite “follow him” episode, along with Adam Miller.

[@MiriamLund]

I am listening from Niceville, FL; I enjoyed listening to Dr. Manning today. His insights and sharing of truth caused me to think and reflect on my interactions with others. Lifting each other, using truth, seeking attainment of better skill sets enable individuals to be ready to add to the work, discussion and grow in their understanding of who they are, what they want to be and how best to obtain their individual end goal(s). Thanks for a great Follow Him lesson.

[@mikewarren5876]

Becoming aware of how people feel out of control or lack understanding and then seek to control and manipulate others is such a positive concept. Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us. Agressive versus assertive great too.

[@conniedalton3635]

So So good! So much knowledge as it paired with the greatest book ever written The Book of Mormon! You always do such an excellent job as you bring the world Gods truth as your guest emphasized TRUTH! Thank you for your time and excellence!

[@mariaelenabarriosulloa7267]

This podcast was fantastic, offering so much to learn and discover about ourselves. There’s a wealth of wisdom to explore and learn from the scriptures. I think I’ll need to watch it again.

[@cc2abc]

So wonderful to hear from Dr. Manning in these episodes. Incredibly motivating words to move forward towards continuous change and improvement.

[@SuzanneBowen-i7o]

This was outstanding. His presentation clearly explained our political climate today and the gradient on robbers that exist today. I learned so much and the importance of staying close to the truth.

[@bonitariggs9031]

The insights Craig Manning provided during theses 2 podcasts were so helpful and inspiring. Thank you so much! Also, a big thank you to Hank and John! I love the ideas and gospel principles i learn in your weekly podcasts.

[@rebeccaknudsen6190]

I am so grateful for your generous sharing! It blesses so many.❤❤❤

[@lisakofoed1962]

I just wanted to thank Dr. Manning for giving the piece of information I needed to be able to understand something a family member did to my father nearly 40 years ago. I am now free to feel sorry for the perpetrator now and not feel frustrated for not being able to comprehend his behavior. Once again, thank you so much!

[@jessicasorenson4829]

This has been INCREDIBLE. Thank you for bringing on people with a fresh perspective. I love hearing how people apply the gospel in practical ways in their lives.

[@pamelawheeler1537]

I have learned so many great truths and concepts to do and be better and learn always to be more like Jesus Christ and to gain Eternal Life. Dr. Manning is humble, and truthful, and a true disciple of Jesus Christ. Thanks each of you for this thoughtful, interesting podcast.

[@sunshinegirlshop2311]

I LOVED the comments on specific prayers and specific language. I feel like I struggle in my prayers and now I wonder if it’s because I’m too vague and general. In studying the Book of Mormon today I noticed that Alma was praying (oh that I were an angel…) his prayer was very specific. I had never thought about that before. Thank you for sharing!

[@lindatopham6983]

Thank you! Thank you! This is one I will listen to and listen to again! Such power!

[@andreajcombs]

Thank you for this episode like all of your episodes it was so good, but this one was particularly timely for me. Dr. Manning will be happy to know I used what I learned from him this week as I coached the middle school tennis team in our area. My varsity singles player was getting down on himself because he kept hitting it into the net, although he was up in the score he was losing ground fast. I went to talk to him and could see tears welling up in his eyes. I asked him what was going on and he said, “it’s going terrible. I just can’t hit the ball.” I then remembered Dr. Manning’s words about living in truth. What I said, surprised both of us. I said, “that’s just not true. It’s not going terrible. You are currently winning. And that’s not true that you can’t hit the ball. You are hitting it, you are just hitting it into the net. So let’s focus on what is really going on. Why are you hitting it into the net?” He thought and then determined he needed to change where and when he hit the ball. I said, “great! So start working on that and let’s see what happens.” The tears dried up and I could see a new determination on his face. It was wonderful. He recalibrated, stopped hitting it into the net and ended up winning the match. I was happy for him that he won, but I what really made me happy was that he listened to the truth and believed it. Thanks for helping an up and coming young tennis player and an up and coming coach.

[@Ttingey01]

I love all of your speakers! Dr Manning just really spoke to my heart!! Wonderful lessons learned!!

[@JeanetteDymond-w9s]

I so very much appreciate the work, love and thoughts put into each of your podcasts!❤❤❤❤❤
