Listen "Setting the Temperature | Ep 137"
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
