Joel Osteen talks about living a more fulfilled life

On radio this morning, Joel Osteen joined Glenn in studio to talk about his new book, Break Out!: 5 Keys to Go Beyond Your Barriers and Live an Extraordinary Life. In the midst of the chaotic times we live in, Glenn and Joel discussed how small, positive changes will ultimately change people’s lives for the better.

“Joel Osteen is a highly controversial Christian because he tries to, I think, boil things down to really, really simple things to get people to understand that your life can be a lot better than it is today,” Glenn said. “But I appreciate his message. And I think he is a rock star for the Lord.”

Glenn explained that he was at a dinner the other night with a group of powerful people, who turned out to be some of the most depressing dinner company because they are so discouraged. Glenn described that they feel like “they have had the stuffing kicked out of them” because they do not believe they have the ability to make a difference any longer.

“And I said to them, ‘That's good. This is good news.’ And they said, ‘What? Are you crazy? And I said, ‘No. Because now you have surrendered. Now you know there is nothing that you can do.’ As a recovering alcoholic, once you surrender, your life is about to change.”

“That's so good,” Joel said. “Sometimes when you do it on your own, you don't need God's help. And then you come to the point and you say, ‘You know what, I can't do it without his help.”

“There are a lot of things in life pushing people down. That's probably an understatement. I really believe that you got to get up each day and fight that discouragement. It's easy to get bitter and lose your drive like you said, but I believe when you get up in the morning, you got to find something to be grateful for,” Joel explained. “I believe how you start the day, many times will determine what kind of day it's going to be... And you get up and you say, ‘God, I want to thank you for this day. It's a gift that you have given me. I believe I'm a person of purpose and destiny.’ Find something you are thankful for: healthy kids, roof over your head, I think that helps to start the day off on the right way.”

The message of Joel’s new book follows a similar theme – encouraging people to no loner settle for “good enough” and instead seek a more fulfilled life.

“I think the premise, again, there's so many things pushing us down in life. That book is filled with faith and encouragement. And the real message of the book: It's easy to get stuck and think ‘this is good enough,’” Joel said. “So, the book is about, take the limits off yourself, take the limits off of God. Believe there are good days ahead. It's simple things that we all know, but it just inspires people to rise up and not settle where we are. The Bible even talks about stepping into the fullness of your destiny, and I've been blessed but I think God wants us to continue to go further.”

“People, you know, I think people are just getting beaten down. All over the country, people are getting beaten down and think we're on the verge of something really good if we choose it,” Glenn concluded. “The name of the book is Break Out!: 5 Keys to Go Beyond Your Barriers and Live an Extraordinary Life. If you have never read any of Joel's books, i'm sure you have seen them, but if you haven't, start here. Break Out!, available in book stores everywhere.”

Congressman: We have EVIDENCE that White House initiated 'excuse' for FBI crackdown on anti-CRT parents

A shocking new report by The Daily Wire reveals that the furious father whose arrest at a school board meeting likely sparked the call for the FBI to investigate anti-CRT parents like domestic terrorists was furious for good reasons: The Loudoun County School Board allegedly tried to cover up his daughter's rape.

Rep. Chris Stewart (R-Utah) joined Glenn Beck on the radio program Tuesday to discuss the incident and explain why he joined 60 lawmakers in a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland demanding answers for why the FBI is targeting parents.

"We want to know ... what kind of coordination took place between the White House, activist groups and teachers unions, and the Department of Justice," Stewart told Glenn. "Because we have evidence that there was [coordination] and, in fact, that the White House are the ones who initiated this. They asked for these activist groups to write this inflammatory letter to the Department of Justice saying they were 'intimidated' and that they 'felt threatened', giving the Department of Justice Attorney General Garland, the excuse to say, 'Okay, well, we have to respond'."

Stewart went on to say he believes the federal government would only involve the FBI in such an issue if its purpose is to silence and intimidate parents concerned about the "poison" being taught to their kids in school. So, what can he and the other representatives who disagree with the Biden administration's overreach of power do to stop it?

Glenn Beck: Taiwan is preparing for potential WAR with China — but will Biden do ANYTHING?

Taiwan's Foreign Minister Joseph Wu is now warning that his nation is preparing for war with China after Beijing flew a record number of warplanes over Taiwanese territory. Wu reached out to another country for help, but it wasn't the United States.

In a video, Wu urged Australia to help prepare for a possible invasion, but gave the U.S. no mention.

"The defense of Taiwan is in our own hands, and we are absolutely committed to that. And if China is going to launch a war against Taiwan, we will fight until the end. And that is our commitment. And, of course, during this period of time, we would like to exchange with other countries for security cooperation," Wu said on ABC News In-depth's China Tonight program. "We would like to engage in security or intelligence exchanges with other like-minded partners, Australia included, so that Taiwan is better prepared to deal with the war situation. And so far, our relations with Australia is very good. And that is what we appreciate it for."

On "The Glenn Beck Program," Glenn, Pat Gray, and Stu Burguiere discussed whether or not America would do anything during such a conflict — because it sure seems like President Joe Biden is more focused on working with China to fight climate change. Plus, why did China just cut off all cryptocurrency?

'HARMFUL CONTENT': How King Biden Is KILLING the Constitution

On "Glenn TV" tonight, Glenn Beck heads to the chalkboard to reveal how the fundamental transformation of America has already begun by turning the Declaration of Independence upside down.

If Donald Trump was a dictator, then what do we call President Biden? In Biden's first nine months in office, he has already issued 64 executive orders – that's more than Trump, Obama, W. Bush, Clinton, Bush, and Reagan each issued in their entire first years in office.

You never hear the Left talk about the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, or the Bill of Rights any more, unless it's to "reimagine" the Constitution or slap a "harmful content" warning on our founding documents. Seriously. The National Archives said while its website label wasn't targeting the Constitution specifically, "some of the materials presented here may reflect outdated, biased, offensive, and possibly violent views and opinions." The Left finds basic, guaranteed rights so offensive they now spend all of their time on workarounds to deal with America's annoying founding documents.

Watch the full episode of "Glenn TV" below to see Glenn outline the aggressive unconstitutional abuses "King Biden" is jamming down our throats and teaches Americans how we can defend against presidential tyranny.

Glenn Beck: Electricity shortages in China mean empty shelves ARE coming. Here's how to PREPARE

On the "Glenn Beck Radio Program," Glenn explained why he wouldn't be surprised to see our supply chain collapse and empty shelves in America in the near future. Shortages are already wrecking our economy, China (where many of our goods are still made) is facing an energy shortage, and the Biden administration sure seems to be doing everything it can to make things worse.

Glenn noted a serious warning from American CEO Mike Beckham: "There's a major storm brewing in the supply chain," Beckham wrote on Twitter.

Thanks to China's centrally planned system, electricity shortages are causing huge delays in product manufacturing. In fact, some items are facing a 33 percent cut in production. "It could dramatically impact every [American's] life next year. But almost no one knows about it yet," Beckham warned.

Glenn went on to explain exactly what this means for you — and what you can do to prepare.
