Episode Synopsis

Kyle returns from a Warriors for Christ fly-in event with a raw and  vulnerable reflection on personal accountability and leadership. After  bringing his wife to spend the weekend with his brotherhood in Allentown,  Pennsylvania, Kyle confronts a hard truth: he was disappointed in  himself—not because the event failed, but because he realized he wasn't  living up to the standard he knew he should set.  In this deeply personal episode, Kyle unpacks the danger of predisposed  expectations, the importance of "setting the temperature" in your  relationships, and why your natural behavior should reflect your values  every single day—not just in special moments. He challenges listeners with   a powerful question: If you're disappointed in your life, is it because  you're setting unrealistic expectations on others, or because you're not  living up to the standard you know you should have for yourself?  Drawing from experiences serving the homeless, witnessing God move through   his brotherhood, and examining his own internal dialogue, Kyle reveals  why consistency in character matters more than occasional peak  performance. This is an episode about raising your own bar, being the  thermostat (not the thermometer) in your environment, and living  congruently with the person you aspire to be.  Key Takeaways:  - Why predisposed expectations create unnecessary pain and disappointment  - The leadership principle of "setting the temperature" in your home and  relationships  - How to identify if your disappointment stems from you or unrealistic  expectations of others  - Why your natural behavior should align with your highest values—not just   on special occasions  - The power of being open to receiving insight and recognizing God's  movement in every room
