Things have been so overwhelmed as I have a different blog for so many things and trying to keep up with them all has been hectic so I decided to run everything pretty much under this banner of Str8 Talk With Chris because no matter what I have always been a straight shooter on anything I write about. I believe that is just how God wired me. Granted many years ago I was really shy and it took me years to come out of my shell.
I have to be honest, I still have shy tendencies though. I guess its good to have some shyness in you, you just can’t let that stop you from pursuing God’s calling on your life. You will hear me say many times “Do NOT let who you think you are stop you from becoming who God called you to be”. I 100% believe what I just said.
I have seen many people who have a so called certain personalities so based on their personality they believe they can only do this or that or that they can’t do certain things. I am here to tell you that no matter who you are, what personality you have, you can do what God called you to do. But will you do it? That is another question because many people give up their calling to pursue what they feel comfortable with. I believe that we are called to get comfortable with being uncomfortable. When you read the bible, I do NOT believe the disciples said to Jesus, I know I can do all this? They didn’t, they just followed anyways even with their limiting beliefs and allowed God to work and help them grow in their lives.
Now back to why this site, as I said, I have blogs for marriage, for business and for Christianity so I have decided to make this my main blog so that I can have it all over one website. This will make it easier for me to write and keep things all organized.
I will write about God, Family, Business, Life & Attitude among other things. All the important things. Most of my writings will come from a Christian perspective so of course I will talk about God a lot. I hope that no matter who you are, you will be able to get something out of my blogs, books, seminars & podcasts as we grow.
I will eventually be doing 3 podcasts a week and here is what they will be about:
“Str8 Talk Mondays“, I will talk mostly about business & attitude with some God mixed in of course because without the right attitude you will never go far in life. Your attitude will determine your altitude in your life. There are no shortcuts when it comes to this. Either you do the work or you will stagnate in life.
“Sr8 Talk Christianity“, I will talk about some of the things it takes to live whole-heartily for God. Many times people will just need a little nudge to change their lives and when it comes to spirituality, sometimes people need a push and that will be what these will be.
“Str8 Talk Marriage“, Sandy and I will talk bout some of the things that we have done to stay strong within our marriage. We will hit points that people don’t think about. Many people do not realize how much work having a strong marriage really is but in reality if you aren’t working on your marriage everyday then you are actually falling behind. Its our job as your coach to push you beyond how you think about marriage and help you see how to live at a higher level than you currently are.
I hope and pray as we build our brand that you will be Blessed from everything. Our goal is to help you move to the next level by inspiring, empowering & educating you in ways that challenge your thinking! Most of what I say will probably not be new as most of us know what we need to do in life already. I hope that I can put a Str8 Talk Spin on it so that you can raise yourself to the next level! If you read or listen to something I say and to yourself say “I never thought about it like that”, then I did my job! My job isn’t to transform your mind all at once but to help you see things from a perspective that you may not have thought about.
If you have any questions or comments be sure to let us know!
Be Inspired or Be Left-Behind,
Chris Benton
