Coach Mahr - Godspeed and Guideposts for Your Journey | Podcast Guru

Details

Coach Mahr here serving as God’s Huckleberry to provide some inspiration and guideposts along our journey from where we are to where we need to be. This podcast will share his 4 decades of life experiences as a business leader, multi-faceted sports coach, community volunteer, and father with his faith to share insights gained, lessons learned to demonstrate where God’s prominence is interwoven through everyday life. This podcast will use winsome anecdotes and imagery to create “stickiness,” while meeting people where they are in life, inspire them to reflect on their situation and discern where they need to be. Coach recognizes he is in his "Final 1/3," so his emphasis is on building up others and fostering ‘eulogy virtues’ as opposed to ‘resume virtues;’ a focus on being and not just doing; and understanding it is a privilege to serve our neighbors.

Enough: The Space Between Perfect and Possible

Have you ever not done something because you were afraid you wouldn't do it well enough? Maybe you didn't start exercising because you couldn't commit to an hour at the gym. You didn't make the phone call because you weren't sure what you were going to say. You didn't pray because you didn't have 30 minutes of quiet time.

The Holiness of Now

This podcast is about presence, gratitude, attentiveness, and living fully in the moment God has given us—not worrying about tomorrow or longing for yesterday.

Each one a piece of a bigger picture, like a mosaic, an image comprised of thousands of smaller colored tiles. Modern culture is constantly pulling us away fr...

I look at my life in three distinct time periods (so, a hockey analogy as opposed to my standard football one). The first 25+ years were about investing in myself – the focus on growing, maturing, being educated, becoming an adult, building a strong mind and body; and starting a career and being a contributing citizen to society. The next 25+ years were about investing in my family – marriage, fatherhood, mentoring my children and all the roles that came with building the foundation of a home...

Rejoice and Godspeed

Have you ever noticed how casually we say goodbye? "See you later." "Take care." Or how we end our communications with “Sincerely yours” and “Best Regards.” They're pleasant enough, but they don't really say much. For years now, I've ended conversations differently. My salutation is ..."Rejoice and Godspeed." Those three words are far more than a farewell. They've become something of a personal creed. They express what I desire for every person I meet. That they would live with genuine Christ...

Live Life on Offense

I have always believed the old saying: "Defense wins championships." And in sports, that's often true. But over the years I've come to realize something important: Defense may win championships, but offense is what moves life forward. Think about it. A defender reacts. An offensive player initiates. A defender responds to circumstances. An offensive player creates opportunities. A defender protects what already exists. An offensive player builds what could be. Life does require some defense. ...
