Episode 88 – Christian Resilience: Defeating Postpartum Depression And Psychosis By The Faith Of God!

By Ryan Hicks | August 25, 2026

Are you a new parent navigating the overwhelming emotional and mental landscape after childbirth, grappling with what might feel like postpartum depression or even psychosis? Or perhaps you are supporting a loved one through these challenging times? At TaughtToProfit, I understand the profound impact these experiences can have, but I also believe in the transformative power of Biblical truth to provide not just coping mechanisms, but complete victory and a sound mind. This deeply insightful podcast episode is dedicated to empowering Christian women and men to rise above the symptoms of postpartum depression and psychosis, affirming that these struggles do not have to define or diminish your journey. I firmly believe that as believers, we have been equipped with the mind of Christ and the spiritual tools to overcome any mental or emotional adversary.

In this powerful session, I delve into foundational Scriptures that illuminate God’s provision for our mental and emotional well-being. I begin by anchoring ourselves in the truth of 2 Timothy 1:7, which declares that “God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” This isn’t mere platitude; it’s a divine promise that equips us to operate from a place of strength, clarity, and self-control, dispelling the fog of anxiety and despair. Furthermore, I explore the incredible reality of 1 Corinthians 2:16, stating, “But we have the mind of Christ.” This profound identity means we have access to divine wisdom, peace, and discernment, enabling us to approach every challenge, even including the demanding season of new parenthood, with a heavenly perspective and an unshakeable inner calm.

The episode meticulously unpacks practical, Scriptural strategies for maintaining mental fortitude. I emphasize the critical importance of guarding your heart with all diligence, as instructed in Proverbs 4:23: “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” I discuss how to protect your inner world from negative influences, discerning what thoughts, conversations, and external stimuli you allow to take root. Moreover, I provide actionable guidance on taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ, as commanded in 2 Corinthians 10:5. This powerful principle teaches you how to identify, challenge, and effectively “cast down” every imagination, fear, or self-defeating thought that attempts to exalt itself against the knowledge of God. This spiritual warfare of the mind is crucial for both new mothers and fathers struggling with postpartum challenges.

Finally, I guide you on how to actively redirect your focus towards uplifting and God-honoring thoughts, leveraging the wisdom of Philippians 4:8: “Finally, brethren, 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; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.” By intentionally dwelling on these virtues and God’s promises, you can systematically dismantle depressive thought patterns and cultivate a mind centered on peace, joy, and hope. This episode is a comprehensive guide for anyone seeking to navigate postpartum challenges with faith, resilience, and the empowering truth of God’s Word. Discover how to reclaim your emotional and mental well-being, step into your divine inheritance of a sound mind, and experience the abundant life God intends for you, even in the demanding season of welcoming a new child.

Episode 87 – Why You Must Start Answering And Saying The Word To Life’s Challenges!

By Ryan Hicks | August 18, 2026

Have you ever felt frustrated by lingering problems, or found yourself constantly discussing obstacles without seeing them shift? Here at TaughtToProfit, I am diving deep into a profound, yet often misunderstood, Biblical principle that holds the key to unlocking your divine authority and transforming your circumstances. This powerful teaching explores the recurring phrase “answered and said” found throughout the New Testament, revealing a critical spiritual dynamic that has been diluted and largely lost in modern Bible versions.

Many contemporary Bible translations often simplify “answered and said” to phrases like “said to it” or “replied,” inadvertently stripping away the original intent and forceful declaration inherent in the original Greek. I contend by the Sprit of God that this is more than just a linguistic nuance; it represents a compromise of an operational power that God intends for every believer to wield. This episode of The Christian Law Of Attraction And Success Podcast will illuminate why understanding and applying the true meaning of “answered and said” is essential for every Christian seeking to manifest God’s promises and experience true prosperity in their lives.

This teaching emphasizes a fundamental shift in how you confront adversity. Instead of merely speaking about your problems, which includes whining, complaining, lamenting, or giving power to the difficulty, you are called to actively “answer and say” the Word to your mountain. This means speaking directly to sickness, lack, fear, doubt, debt, or any unwelcome circumstance, wielding the unshakeable truth of God’s Word as your response. I explore powerful Biblical examples, such as Jesus speaking to the fig tree in Mark 11:14, and rebuking the tempter with the Word of God. These aren’t just fascinating stories; they are demonstrations of divine authority and clear instructions on how we are to operate.

Central to this message is the potent instruction in Mark 11:23, where Jesus declares, “Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.” Notice the emphasis: “shall say unto this mountain.” This highlights the active, vocal confession rooted in unwavering faith as the catalyst for change. It’s not enough to simply believe in your heart; you must speak out your belief, directing your words to the very issue you desire to see overcome.

This powerful podcast will equip you with the practical understanding and spiritual tools to:

Identify the “mountains” in your life that you need to speak to.
Locate relevant Scripture promises that directly address your challenges.
Develop a faith-filled vocabulary that aligns with God’s will.
Consistently and confidently “answer and say” to your circumstances, activating the power of your tongue (Proverbs 18:21).
Experience tangible shifts as you exercise your God-given authority.

Stop merely discussing your problems and start commanding your breakthrough! Unlock the transformative power of “answering and saying” and begin to see your life align with the abundant, victorious path God has designed for you. This podcast is perfect for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of Biblical principles of success, activate their faith, and walk in consistent triumph. Embrace your authority and declare God’s truth over every challenge today!

Episode 86 – Don’t Fear Prosperity: How God’s Blessing Secures Your Success!

By Ryan Hicks | August 11, 2026

Are you ready to redefine your understanding of Christian prosperity and Biblical success? At TaughtToProfit, we believe that God’s plan for your life includes abundance and freedom, not fear of wealth. In this powerful podcast episode, I challenge a common misconception: the pervasive narrative of rich people who fall. While it’s true that some wealthy individuals experience public downfalls, we often overlook a more widespread and deeply impactful reality: poverty itself often leads to far greater struggles, compromises, and “falls” in life. The pressures of scarcity can be overwhelming, leading many to difficult choices that hinder spiritual and personal growth.

This episode dives deep into the transformative truth found in Proverbs 10:22: “The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.” I explore the profound distinction between riches acquired through worldliness, which can indeed bring sorrow and temptation, and the divinely-granted prosperity that flows directly from God’s blessing. When your wealth is a result of God’s favor, it possesses a unique quality: it is pure, secure, and designed to establish you, not to ensnare you. This Biblical wealth is a tool for greater good, enabling you to fulfill your purpose, serve others, and remain steadfast in your faith without compromise.

Join me as I dismantle the subconscious fear of prosperity that can exist within Christian communities, often stemming from misinterpretations of Scripture or cultural narratives. Discover how God’s blessing for financial abundance is not a path to straying from the truth, but rather a stabilizing force that empowers you. Learn to confidently embrace the truth that God desires your holistic prosperity, providing resources that allow you to live a life of impact, freedom, and unwavering devotion. This isn’t about mere financial gain; it’s about understanding the source and purpose of true abundance through faith. Step into a mindset of Biblical abundance and spiritual success where God’s blessing truly makes you rich, and He adds no sorrow with it.

Episode 85 – Money Responds to Authority: Speaking Your Reality With Christ’s Faith!

By Ryan Hicks | August 4, 2026

Unlock a revolutionary truth that will transform your financial landscape! In this powerful episode of “The Christian Law Of Attraction And Success Podcast,” I am exploring the profound principle that money does not respond to need; it responds to your authority in Christ. For too long, many people have approached their financial lives from a place of scarcity and lack, hoping and praying for provision based on their desperate need. However, the Bible reveals a higher, more effective way: operating from our divine authority as children of God.

Join me as I delve into the Biblical foundations of this truth, highlighting how a focus on “need” can inadvertently anchor us in a mindset of limitation, rather than God’s boundless supply. I meticulously break down the concept of authority in Christ, showing how our identity in Him empowers us to exercise dominion over every area of our lives, including our finances. We’ll look at the life and ministry of Jesus and how He never begged or pleaded with circumstances, but rather commanded storms, withered fig trees, and raised the dead by simply speaking to the situation. His actions weren’t mere miracles; they were demonstrations of inherent authority.

Crucially, I will share how our mandate is to be like Christ, emphasizing Jesus’s own words in John 14:12 that we would do “greater works than these.” This isn’t just a spiritual promise; it’s a call to activate our divine inheritance and govern our earthly reality with heavenly principles. The episode will then pivot to the unparalleled power of spoken words, coupled with the faith of God. Just as God spoke the universe into existence, we, made in His image, have been endowed with the ability to create our own reality through the words we speak. I reveal the transformative power of Mark 11:23, illustrating how believing and speaking in alignment with God’s Word is the key to manifesting our desires. This isn’t just about our faith in God, but about operating with the very “faith of God” which is His creative, authoritative nature working through us.

Finally, I provide practical, actionable steps for how you can begin to speak your reality into existence. Learn to shift from discussing your problems to directly commanding your financial situations. Discover how to use Scriptural declarations to dismantle financial strongholds and usher in unprecedented abundance and divine flow. This episode will equip you to stop reacting to circumstances and start proactively shaping your future through the power of your words and the authority you possess in Christ. Prepare to revolutionize your understanding of Christian prosperity and step into a life where money responds to your God-given authority, not your earthly need!

Episode 84 – The Fig Tree Revelation: Unpacking Jesus’ Curse Of Fruitlessness!

By Ryan Hicks | July 28, 2026

Uncover the Profound Truth Behind Jesus and the Fig Tree in Mark 11! Dive deep into one of the Bible’s most often misunderstood stories and unlock a powerful Biblical revelation that will transform your understanding of fruitfulness, purpose, and prosperity. Many believe Jesus simply cursed the fig tree to die, but a close examination of Scripture reveals a far more impactful message. In this enlightening podcast episode, I dissect Jesus’ exact words, “No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever.” You’ll discover that this was not a literal death sentence, but a prophetic declaration of perpetual unfruitfulness, which in the Kingdom of God is the spiritual equivalent of being dead to divine purpose and impact.

This video and accompanying resources from TaughtToProfit challenge the complacent and ignite a passion for Christian productivity and excellence. I explore the fundamental Biblical principles that underscore God’s expectation for His children to be fruitful in every good work (Colossians 1:10), to bear much fruit for His glory (John 15:8), and to be like a prosperous tree planted by rivers of water (Psalm 1:3). Learn how unfruitfulness isn’t just a lack of spiritual gifts, but a sign of a life disconnected from God’s dynamic design for abundance and impact. I discuss how a life refusing to excel, choosing stagnation over growth, or consistently failing to produce good fruit can indeed manifest as an “unchristian” existence in terms of its effectiveness and influence within the world, and should cause one to carefully examine themselves and see if they are even in the faith (2 Corinthians 13:5). This isn’t about condemnation, but a clarion call to awakening to righteousness. It is a call to embrace God’s design for a vibrant, productive, and truly prosperous life.

Key Takeaways You’ll Gain:

A radical reinterpretation of the Mark 11 fig tree incident.
Understanding why unfruitfulness equals spiritual death in God’s eyes.
Biblical insights into God’s mandate for Christian excellence and productivity.
Practical encouragement to identify and overcome areas of spiritual stagnation.
How to align your life with God’s purpose for abundance and impact.
A renewed perspective on what it means to live a truly fruitful and thriving Christian life.

Join us at TaughtToProfit.com as we unpack this profound Scriptural truth and empower you to live a life that glorifies God through intentional fruitfulness and unwavering excellence. This isn’t just a Bible study; it’s a blueprint for transformative living!
