Episode 98 – The Uncomfortable Truth About Christian Suffering No One Wants To Talk About!

By Ryan Hicks | November 3, 2026

At TaughtToProfit.com, we dare to explore The Uncomfortable Truth About Christian Suffering No One Wants To Talk About. This powerful Christian Law Of Attraction And Success episode challenges conventional wisdom, offering a deeply Biblical perspective on the nature of suffering in a believer’s life. While acknowledging and honoring the genuine suffering endured by those persecuted for their faith, we delve into the less-discussed reality that not all hardship experienced by Christians is “for the faith.” Instead, much of it often stems from personal choices, neglecting the clear leading of the Holy Spirit, or unwise decision-making (also due to neglecting the leading of the Spirit).

I am exploring how easily believers can fall into the trap of mislabeling self-inflicted struggles as spiritual persecution or a “cross to bear.” For instance, we examine situations where Christians in lands adverse to their faith might be enduring hardship not purely for righteousness’ sake, but because they have ignored the promptings of the Spirit of God telling them to leave, or they have allowed pride to lead them into confrontational behaviors rather than wise, Spirit-led witness. The episode emphasizes that God often provides ways of escape or wisdom to navigate difficult situations, and stubbornly refusing His guidance can lead to unnecessary suffering, which then gets mistakenly attributed to persecution. I quote Scriptures like Proverbs 14:12 and Matthew 10:16 to illustrate the importance of wisdom and obedience over self-righteousness.

Furthermore, this discussion tackles the sensitive topic of health and illness. While we affirm the glorious truth that Jesus’ stripes already provide for our healing (Isaiah 53:5; 1 Peter 2:24), I am exploring how many believers suffer from illnesses that could be avoided. This happens when individuals refuse to honor God with their bodies by consistently making poor dietary choices, such as eating what a “trash food” non-vegan diet, or neglecting their physical well-being. This episode challenges the notion that every sickness is a spiritual attack or a divine test, urging listeners to consider if their health struggles are, in fact, a consequence of poor stewardship of the body, which the Bible declares to be a temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). It’s an honest look at our responsibility in maintaining the health God has provided for us.

Finally, I confront financial hardships within the Christian community. While it’s common to hear financial struggles attributed to “suffering for the faith,” I am exploring the often-overlooked fact that many are in poverty or deep debt not due to persecution, but due to a consistent pattern of unwise decisions. This includes reckless spending, failing to budget, ignoring Biblical principles of stewardship, and, crucially, failing to listen to the leading of the Spirit of God in financial matters. The episode highlights how a lack of wisdom and persistent error in financial management can lead to a just harvest of bad results and even poverty, which is then mistakenly spiritualized and many times even claimed to be the result of God’s will. I reference Scriptures like Proverbs 21:20 and Proverbs 22:7 to underscore the Scriptural emphasis on wisdom in managing resources.

This episode is designed to be a wake-up call, not a condemnation. It’s an invitation to honest self-examination, encouraging believers to discern the true source of their suffering. By embracing this uncomfortable truth, we can align ourselves more fully with God’s will, make wiser choices, and walk in the abundant life He desires for us, free from self-inflicted hardships. Join me as I reveal these critical insights and empower you to live a life of true prosperity, guided by the Holy Spirit and empowered by the grace of God. Discover how understanding the difference between genuine suffering for Christ and the consequences of our own actions can lead to profound transformation.

Episode 97 – Sustaining Your High Vibration: The Power of Daily Affirmations & Focus!

By Ryan Hicks | October 27, 2026

Are you tired of feeling your spiritual energy and positive momentum fade halfway through the day, even after a strong morning routine? Many believers hold the underlying belief that powerful visualization sessions at the beginning and end of their day are enough to maintain their high vibration and align with God’s prosperity. However, at TaughtToProfit, we are exploring a deeper truth: sustained high vibration and accelerated manifestation require consistent, intentional redirection of your focus throughout your entire day. This profound insight is not just about positive thinking; it’s about actively engaging with Biblical principles of mind renewal and speaking life into your circumstances.

In this transformative video, I delve into why morning and night visualization alone might not be sufficient to counteract the relentless distractions, challenges, and negative influences that constantly vie for your attention. I uncover how the daily grind, unforeseen obstacles, and even subtle shifts in your mental landscape can effortlessly pull your energetic vibration downwards, diminishing your capacity to attract and receive God’s blessings. The key lies not in avoiding these influences, but in developing a proactive strategy to continuously redirect your thoughts and intentions towards what is lovely, pure, and of good report.

I provide actionable strategies you can implement immediately. Learn the profound power of integrating affirmations throughout your day, not just as a morning ritual, but as a constant flow of life-giving declarations. Discover how speaking Biblical truths and personalized statements of faith can instantly elevate your mood, reinforce your beliefs, and keep your vibration aligned with abundance. I guide you on how to formulate affirmations that resonate deeply with your spirit and God’s promises for your life. Furthermore, I reveal the efficacy of short, intentional visualization breaks, which are brief, powerful moments of mental retreat where you vividly see, feel, and embody your desired reality. These quick, impactful sessions act as potent energetic recharges, ensuring your focus remains fixed on the future God has planned for you.

Central to these practices is the timeless wisdom found in the Bible. I examine Philippians 4:8, which provides a divine blueprint for our thought life, guiding us to focus on “whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report.” This isn’t mere suggestion; it’s a command for living an elevated life. I also explore the critical role of Proverbs 4:23, emphasizing the absolute necessity of guarding our hearts, for “out of it are the issues of life.” Your thoughts dictate your destiny. Moreover, I connect these practices to the transformative power of Romans 12:2, revealing how genuine transformation occurs through the “renewing of your mind.” This continuous process of aligning your inner world with God’s truth is the pathway to proving “what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God” for your prosperity and well-being.

By embracing these Scriptural principles and practical techniques, you will move beyond fleeting moments of positivity to cultivate a sustained state of high vibration and unwavering faith. This consistent alignment will not only accelerate the manifestation of your God-given desires but also empower you to live a life characterized by enduring joy, profound peace, and overflowing abundance.

Episode 96 – Stop Being a Victim: Your Victorious Identity in Christ Jesus!

By Ryan Hicks | October 20, 2026

Are You Trading Your Divine Inheritance for Pity? In this powerful and transformative episode of the Christian Law Of Attraction And Success Podcast, I am boldly confronting the destructive mindset of victimhood, revealing why it is a “currency for the useless” that has absolutely no place in the life of a true believer. Many unwittingly adopt a victim mentality, seeking sympathy or an excuse for inaction, but I am exploring how this path ultimately leads to stagnation and robs you of your God-given power and purpose. I firmly believe that Christians are not called to be pathetic victims, but rather to be the most successful, blessed, and victorious people that exist, manifesting God’s glory in every area of their lives.

I am revealing the Biblical truth of your identity in Christ, reminding you that you are already “more than conquerors” through Him that loved you (Romans 8:37). Your victory was secured at the cross, and I am emphasizing that Jesus Himself declared, “I have overcome the world” (John 16:33), making you a co-heir in His triumph. This episode powerfully dismantles the common misinterpretations of “strength in weakness,” clarifying that God’s power is perfected through our challenges when we lean on Him, not by us wallowing in self-pity or embracing excuses.

I am providing actionable strategies to dismantle victimhood thinking and equip you to step into your rightful inheritance. Discover how embracing personal responsibility, cultivating a solution-oriented mindset, and declaring Scriptural truths can activate God’s abundant blessings in your life, aligning you with His promise to make you “the head, and not the tail” (Deuteronomy 28:13). This teaching is not just about avoiding negativity; it’s about actively cultivating a victor’s mentality that draws forth divine favor, spiritual strength, and tangible success.

Understand why God desires for His children to be exceptionally blessed and prosperous. It’s not for selfish gain, but to be a powerful testimony to the world, to exert divine influence, and to fund the advancement of His Kingdom. Your success is meant to “let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven” (Matthew 5:16). This episode is a call to spiritual arms, urging you to shed the garment of victimhood and clothe yourself in the royal robes of your Christ-given victory. Join me as I empower you to claim your true identity, walk in uncompromising faith, and manifest the extraordinary life God designed for you.

Episode 94 – Unlocking God’s Desires: The Christian Law of Attraction and Your Heart’s True Calling!

By Ryan Hicks | October 6, 2026

Discover the Biblical truth about your heart’s desires and how God not only grants them but plants them within you. In this powerful Christian Law Of Attraction And Success Podcast episode from TaughtToProfit, I dive deep into Psalms 37:4, revealing how delighting in the Lord aligns your desires with His perfect will, paving the way for divine fulfillment.

I am exploring how many man-made religions falsely teach the suppression of all desire, presenting it as a virtue when it’s often a coping mechanism for their powerlessness and an excuse for their failure to achieve good things in life. This episode sharply contrasts this limited worldview with God’s true intention for His children. I meticulously distinguish between fleshly lusts and affections which the Bible calls us to crucify (Galatians 5:24), and the good, wholesome, and God-given desires for quality food, safe shelter, reliable transportation, excellent education for our children, and other forms of Biblical prosperity. These are not selfish whims but legitimate longings placed in us by our generous Heavenly Father.

The cornerstone of this teaching is found in John 15:7, where Jesus promises, “If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.” Understand that “what ye will” directly refers to what you desire. Learn how abiding in Christ and letting His words transform your heart purifies your desires, making them His desires for you, and unlocking the power for their manifestation in your life.

This episode will equip you to embrace your God-given desires without guilt, to recognize the difference between worldly ambition and Spirit-led aspiration, and to walk confidently in the abundance and fulfillment that God intends. Stop settling for less and start living a life where your heart’s true callings are not just dreams, but divinely ordained realities. Join me to transform your understanding of desire, prosperity, and God’s boundless love.
