Ep 151: Unstuck and Unstoppable with Pastor Jimn Kyles

Dec 21

Studies show that we have tens of thousands of thoughts a day. These thoughts hold power in our lives, and yet most of them are rooted in beliefs we formed as children.

Jimn Kyles, lead pastor of Anchor Bend Church and the author of Unstuck and Unstoppable, joins Karolina for a beautiful conversation about false beliefs and living out your purpose. Do you ever wonder why you feel like you're not enough? Do you self-sabotage opportunities that would bring you joy? Sharing his own journey of healing, Jimn offers insights, tools, and wisdom to break free of these patterns.

Leave your negative thought patterns behind, tune into what the Universe has for you, and live out your purpose.

A call to change

During his early 20s, Jimn Kyles was an entrepreneur and a real estate agent. When a restaurant became available for purchase, he and his wife decided to take it on, and it became wildly successful. But outside appearances are misleading. In truth, they were struggling in their marriage and with the pressures of life. To cope and numb out, they turned to high drug and alcohol use, hosting parties and going out regularly.

Then, the unthinkable happened.

It was 12:30am on February 7th, 2003. Jimn and his wife were about to go out when he had an encounter with God. He shared this awakening with his wife.

The next day, they both stopped drinking, quit drugs, and their lives changed for the better. Eventually they began working with an organization training leaders in mission’s work, and today Jimn is a pastor at Anchor Bend Church in Texas.

After Jimn’s divine encounter, everything shifted and his focus now is on helping others experience the same powerful shift he did, from hopelessness, pressure, drugs, and alcohol to a life of freedom and purpose.

Whether you call it God, Universe, or Higher Power, we are all offered messages. The guidance and support is out there. If you’re willing to stop and listen for even just a moment, what answer do you think you’d hear?

The power of paradigms

It’s crazy, but true that we each have between 12,000 and 60,000 thoughts a day. Of those, 80% are negative and 95% of them are repetitive.

Jimn has done a lot of work personally and with others around thoughts, specifically paradigms. Paradigms are subconscious thought patterns, largely formed from childhood experiences.

When we believe a thought is true, we give it power and influence over our life.

As a teen, Jimn worked for gentlemen who owned a Ford truck. In a conversation, he told Jimn that Chevy trucks weren’t “real” trucks. Decades later at age 44, Jimn bought himself a truck. Guess what he purchased? A Ford F-150!

This might be a silly story, but talk about influence, right?! Now, imagine the impact of believing something more profound like, “My best isn’t good enough.”

Making decisions based on a belief that your best isn’t good enough could lead to doubt in your abilities, self-sabotage, a lack of confidence, and/or feeling stuck in life.

BUT, we can have hope, because if we have the power to create our paradigms, we also have the power to change them!

Becoming a General

Beautiful, what is something you love so much that you’d do it even if you weren’t getting paid?

After you uncover what you love, there are some incredible ways to motivate and support yourself. One powerful tool Jimn offers is to dig into words you resonate with. Tune out the lies, negative thoughts, and false beliefs, and see what remains. For Jimn it’s General, for you it could be Goddess or Warrior or Champion.

Then shift from a self perspective to what (and who!) is around you. We are all the average of our five closest friends. So the community you surround yourself with also has a huge impact on your view of self and engagement in your life.

From internal to external, you can cultivate an environment that fosters motivation and movement toward the life you want, rather than feeling stuck in the life you have.

“Even if nobody else believes it, if you believe it, that's all that matters. I'm not trying to convince anybody. And this is what I've learned the best. I don't need to convince someone I'm a General, I just live it out. And as I do, it's amazing. Your life is what speaks.” Jimn Kyles
