The Heath Mullikin Project: Recent Episodes
Heath Mullikin
I recently posted the first episode of a new comedy series I am working on. This series is based on all of the conversations, voices, and characters I have in my head. Here's the introduction to everyone. If you haven't seen the episode I'm talking about you can watch it at: https://youtu.be/KDff_FfU6MA?si=y49FTy2ftSlVXSt_
Lately, I've imagined myself going back in time to have a talk with my 30 something self to see if he would have any advice for me during this season of life. It came down to 3 things. You can use the same 3 things to get unstuck and move forward in your own life.
Today is the 5 year anniversary of my wife, Karen, passing away. Here’s what I did today to remember her and other things that continue to help me navigate the grieving process. Thank you all for your love, support, and prayers.
As we get ready for 2024, what projects, tasks, and mental loops do we need to close? What would your mind look like if it were free from all the things swirling in the background waiting to be completed?
I had dinner with a great friend who gave the great reminder that sometimes our biggest cheerleader needs to be the person looking back at us in the mirror.
There are lots of spoilers in this episode as I compare and contrast the finales of Ted Lasso, Cheers, Friends, Seinfeld, and Guardians of the Galaxy. Some doors are opened. Some doors are closed. Some just leave a tiny crack.
Have you ever used the phrase “it is what it is?” Here’s why it one of my least favorite and most favorite sayings.
I’ve been thinking about schedule, how I choose to invest my time and the difference between being busy and active. Are you busy or active?
The past 5 years, around this time, I have hit a health plateau. Something has happened in my mind and I just quit going to the gym and eating healthy. Today, I got some insight into why that had happened and how I plan to overcome it. Here’s how I’m getting past the Plateau.
Most people would think of me as a “glass half full” kind of person, but the reality is that, internally, I’ve been a “glass half empty” guy all of my life. Here’s what I’m doing about it.
At the beginning of the year, I set a habit goal of exercising 30 minutes a day 6 days a week. It occurred to me today that I have updated that daily habit to be more focused and move even closer to my end goal. What adjustments do you need to make in your habits?
For the 4th year in a row I have lost 20 lbs with diet and exercise. What am I doing now to make sure I don’t gain it back and have to lose the same 20 next year? It’s about focusing on the process over your progress.
Yesterday was Karen’s birthday and it was a good day of remembering. Plus, I’ve been working through some bargaining in my grief journey lately. How can we set our intentions to relive some uncertainty and move forward?
I'm almost a week into giving up coffee and results have not been what I expected. On this episode, I talk about side effects I thought I would have, the side effects I am having, and the change in my quality of sleep. I'm starting to see a major difference in my energy and thinking. What did you give up for Lent?

Over the past several weeks I have felt God calling me to something. Something that will require me to be physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually prepared for. I've felt this pull. This desire. Like a quest. Leading into Lent I was thinking about what I would give up and that's when all the streams crossed and I realized I was about to bite off more than I could chew. What is God calling you to these days? What's your quest? What are you giving up for Lent?

As many of you have heard, there has been an around the clock revival happening on the campus of Asbury University in Wilmore, Kentucky. It's been an incredible thing to witness from afar. I had the opportunity to interview several folks from Southern Wesleyan who got to attend over the weekend and get their perspective. That conversation sparked lots of thoughts like: who's cleaning the bathrooms and who's running security? It's a great reminder that when God moves it can create logistical nightmares in our lives. Revival is going to make everyone uncomfortable in one way or another. How do we prepare for that and what are the 3 choices we face when the Holy Spirit moves? I'd love your thoughts on this and the revival. This morning, Asbury released an update on their plans moving forward at this link. You can listen to my interview with the Southern Wesleyan Students on the SWU Soul Stories podcast here.
If you’ve followed my story then you know I am a big fan of Michael Hyatt’s work. His new book, Mind Your Mindset, with his daughter, Megan, is a look at the voice inside our head and why it tells us the stories that it does. This book reinforced many things that I have learned and put into practice through my counseling sessions over the past 7 months. I hope it is a game changer for you as well. Here’s a link to purchase: https://amzn.to/3YoWUqW.
Thanks to Jon Cole and the amazing leaders who allowed me to share at this year’s Western New York District Youth Winter Retreat. It was a phenomenal experience and God was with us. Listen for more details.
I had one of those early morning epiphanies the other day about forgiveness and how forgiving myself led to major mental health breakthroughs on my grief journey. Here's why you need to forgive yourself and start turning off those "What if" valves.
4 years ago today, my wife passed away. Karen was an incredible person and it occurred to me that many of you never met her. On this episode, I give you the lowdown and the background on the woman who captured my heart and changed all of our lives.
It was fun to sit down and chat briefly with Glen Robinson at the recent Wesleyan Pastor's Gathering. Glen is the Executive Pastor of Leadership Development at Crosspoint Church in Lynchburg, Virginia where one of my accountability partners, Josh Ratliff, is the Lead Pastor. Glen and I have many connections. He is one of my wife's first cousins and also interned with me at Central First Wesleyan Church(now Alive Wesleyan) during his time at Southern Wesleyan. Glen talks about his ministry, family, and his recent sabbatical in this episode.
Pickens View Wesleyan Church just finished our Live Nativity and it was an awesome event. Here are my takeaways.

Yesterday while frying my last turkey of the season I realized I needed to make one simple change to cook it more easily than before. What’s one simple change you need to make?
I used to spend a lot of time wondering and worrying about what certain people thought about me. It caused a lot of anxiety and I’ve had to learn to stop. Here’s the how and why.
Here are my spoiler filled thoughts on Black Panther 2 Wakanda Forever. It was a powerful movie in many ways. Should they have recast the role of Black Panther? I have some thoughts on that as well.
How do we move on from regret, learn what we need to learn, and forgive ourselves so we can live an abundant, joyful life?
Sometimes, we get to be a part of events and weeks full of highs and lows that make us ask,”what planet is this?” How do you navigate the highs and lows of life when they happen in the same week?
There are certain movie and tv scenes that make me feel all the feels. They inspire and make me tear up or they motivate me to get going. What movie and tv scenes do you watch when you need a pick me up?
It may surprise people to hear that I love silence. Here’s why it’s important to me and why you should make space for it too.
On this episode, I expound on 2 Corinthians 10:5. “5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” What does it practically look like to take every thought captive?
God has been doing an amazing work in my heart and mind, but I felt that I was in a season where I had too much margin in my life. Is that even possible? Here’s what I mean and what I changed to live more fully during this season.
Life takes twists and turns that can throw us out of rhythm with important habits. Here’s how I’ve gotten back into The Reading Rhythm.
This summer was a busy season for me which meant that I had to put off dealing with the grief of a relationship that ended. Sometimes that happens in life. We go into crisis mode to make sure everyone is cared for, but eventually, the grief bill comes due. The more we get to know ourselves the more we will understand how we process grief the effect of time on that process. Here's I said this on Facebook:
It hit me this morning that it is almost October. Someone asked me this summer how I was doing and I answered “ask me in October.” No one is an expert in grief, but I knew the full summer would put off some emotions from the unexpected twists and turns life took this year. The grief bill always comes due. I’m grateful for a work trip in October that will give me some time and space on the road to dig deeper into the healing process. I’m grateful for sleeping well every night. I’m grateful for forgiveness. I’m grateful for counseling. I’m grateful for friendships. I’m grateful for the prayers of faithful people. I’m grateful for the daily l things that the Lord uses to keep us going like laughter, prayer, and exercise.
Make time and space to wrestle with all of the emotions wrapped up in your grieving. It's a process that takes time, has no clear map, and can be confusing. It's hard work. But it's the work of being human and the work that our Heavenly Father is doing in us.
Sometimes we think there is a mountain in front of us keeping us from our goals. Here’s a key to overcoming resistance and keeping your healthy streaks going.
Sometimes when you are grieving you will have a day where you feel like you are back to square one. Here’s why that’s totally normal and ok.
After years of being on and off the fitness train, something happened this year that changed my thinking on why I need to get healthy. Here’s what I’m doing to make sure I age gracefully and safely.
Sooner or later something is going to happen that discourages you. Here are some ways you can overcome discouragement.
How many times can your heart survive being broken? How many hopes can you have dashed? How much disappointment is too much? Hang in there. You are more resilient than you think.
On this episode I talk about a skill that I've acquired through various hard times in my life. This episode was a source of therapy for me to think through some things and get them off of my chest. Hopefully, it is an encouragement to you on your journey.

In December 2020, amidst a month at home between covid, furlough, and the holidays, I started a practice that has dramatically changed my mindset and my life. Posting what I am grateful for everyday has helped me realize how blessed I truly am. Join me in 2021 for the #gratitudeproject and post 3 things you are grateful every day!
We are keeping with the theme of having our best year ever in 2022 and I want to talk about something I did in 2021 that changed my life. For the first time ever, I read through the entire Bible in a year and it was an amazing experience. In this episode, I invite you to join Pickens View Wesleyan Church in reading through the Bible on the YouVersion app. Here's the invite at: https://my.bible.com/reading-plans/60/together/47815636/invitation?source=share&token=Uzjgmt5n6PLRlicrlN3brw. The books I used for my reading this year were:
Book 1: Covenant History

My thoughts on this verse: “Where there is no revelation, people cast off restraint; but blessed is the one who heeds wisdom’s instruction.” Proverbs 29:18 NIV https://www.bible.com/111/pro.29.18.niv
“To improve is to change, so to be perfect is to have changed often.”-Winston Churchill quoted in Developing the Leader Within You 2.0 by John Maxwell
I’ve been working on my values to help me become more of the person I was created to be. I share with you the current 6 values I am working on. What are your values?
Looking back at my darkest days I realize there was nothing I was pouring into my life to help. What would I do differently?
“”When opportunity comes, it’s too late to prepare.”-John Wooden from Developing the Leader Within You 2.0 by John Maxwell
Some thoughts on the opportunity that is presenting itself for you to set yourself apart on social media and make a difference at the same time? What if your funeral consisted of your family reading your posts? What would people think of you?
This morning hit some snags. What can we do to make sure a morning like that doesn’t ruin our entire day?
“We grow by dreams. All big individuals are dreamers. They see things in the soft haze of a spring day, or in the red fire on a long winter’s evening. Some of us let those great dreams die, but others nourish and protect them; nourish them through bad days until they bring them to the sunshine and light which comes always to those who sincerely hope that their dreams will come true.”-Woodrow Wilson
What is the point of a Christian’s personal growth if they are not bearing fruit and growing in the fruit of the Spirit? Are we ready to get pruned and prepared for growth and abundant life?
Why did I take a day to get out of the house and do an emotional inventory? How did God bring me peace?
If you’re not growing and changing then you’re slowly dying. Here are my 4 steps to becoming the person you want to be.
This scripture stood out to me today. “Lord, do not forsake me; do not be far from me, my God. Come quickly to help me, my Lord and my Savior.” Psalms 38:21-22 NIV https://www.bible.com/111/psa.38.21-22.niv. What promise do you need to remind God of today?
I love how God connects the dots between a conversation one day and a cherished memory the next. May this episode be a blessing you.
A few things really jumped out at me this morning while I was reading. 2 books chosen at random having the same quote today? Pretty cool. A third book with a message dealing with the same issue? That's a God sized megaphone.
Here's an update on my W.A.K.E. and S.L.E.E.P. routines after 3 weeks of putting them into practice. Plus, I started writing a book this weekend. The outline and introduction are done and it's on to filling in the gaps. Got questions about discovering your purpose, passion, and possibilities? Connect with me!

Today I look back on a book that changed my life, a risk that Karen encouraged me to take, and something I quit too soon. The Lion Chaser Manifesto
Quit living as if the purpose of life is to arrive safely at death. Run to the roar. Set God-sized goals. Pursue God-given passions. Go after a dream that is destined to fail without divine intervention. Stop pointing out problems. Become part of the solution. Stop repeating the past. Start creating the future. Face your fears. Fight for your dreams. Grab opportunity by the mane and don’t let go! Live like today is the first day and last day of your life. Burn sinful bridges. Blaze new trails. Live for the applause of nail-scarred hands. Don’t let what’s wrong with you keep you from worshiping what’s right with God. Dare to fail. Dare to be different. Quit holding out. Quit holding back. Quit running away. Chase the lion.

My reading in Atomic Habit prompted this thought. What good does making New Years resolutions do us if we don’t actually change as people?
How’s my morning routine going? What goals are you setting for 2021? What habits do you need to change/start to reach your goals? Don’t do it alone. There’s help waiting. All you need to do is ask.
Here's an update on my morning(Water, Affirmation, Knowledge, Exercise) and bedtime(Silence, Lights, Escape, Evaluate, Pray) routines.

Many things have happened over the past 16 months. Here's where I get you caught up on where we've been, where we are, and where we're going. God has been good to our family and has opened up amazing doors. I also share my thoughts on staying positive in the current climate and how Facebook may be revealing who we really are.
Here's my speech to the 2020 graduating class at Southern Wesleyan University. Graduation was held in a virtual ceremony that can be viewed at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjpKRaILoZs. To be honest, when my name was brought up in a meeting about speaking I thought they were playing a joke on me so I didn't think anything of it. Then I got the email telling me when my message would be recorded and things got real. This was a humbling and great honor and my main goal was to encourage these great students during this crazy time in their lives. Just remember: Don't Tap Out.
My thoughts on Survivor Season 40 episode 4 Winners at War. Some creative editing and marketing made it seem someone was going home due to illness plus Tyson gets voted off. Who’s playing great and why isn’t Sandra doing any challenges?

Today I get everyone up to speed on what God has been doing in my heart since August. It is a story of transformation, peace, blessing, and hope. I would love to hear your story of a changed heart. Leave a comment or email me at heath.mullikin at gmail.com.
I’ve had a lot of time to think about the regrets I had in my marriage and the things that I did wrong. Some were honest mistakes. Some were sinful, and I’ve had to confess and repent. My goal is recording these thoughts is to help others have better relationships with their friends, spouses, relatives, co-workers, etc. This is not recorded from a place of completion or perfection, but a work in progress. That’s why this is the Heath Mullikin Project because God is still hard at work on me and in me.

I found some of Karen’s journals in her bedside table leading me to some reflective moments last night. What I found inside may surprise you. Karen’s full obituary has been posted.

Karen passed peacefully last night not long after I posted yesterday’s update. The sun came up this morning and I made my bed. That may not mean a lot to you, but on this episode I explain why it means a lot to me.
My thoughts on the the 7 stages of grief and today’s devotionals. The sun is up and the bed is made.
God has given us more time with Karen and we are keeping her comfortable as her journey comes to an end. God’s timing is not our timing. We continue to sense your prayers and God’s presence.
Karen remains comfortable and with us. We are waiting on God’s timing and overwhelmed by the outpouring of love we have received.

Following yesterday’s frustration with the internet I share some thoughts on the Oakway internet situation. Karen has been resting comfortably today and we had a nice visit with the Hospice Chaplain.
Today has been a pretty frustrating day for a few reasons. Also, there are a few places where you can hear Karen screaming in the background. This is almost a spasm reaction where she will yell or cry out for no reason.
A conversation with Karen’s cousin, Becky Robinson Garmon, about grief and good ways to help and encourage those experiencing it. We had a house full of people so pardon the background noise. Again, this is meant to be raw and unpolished, just like life.
Yesterday I decided to cut my trip short and come home early from Orlando. This is the story of the journey to get home to my wife, Karen. Her oxygen levels have been below normal and safe for the past 2 days and hospice care has been called in.

What do Karen and I do every night before we go to bed? How has God been speaking to me through his word? Thanks!
Yesterday was a difficult day as Karen had several falls and had a doctor’s appointment.
Yesterday was a typical day in that it wasn’t typical at all. What is a typical day for me and what does that mean for the future?
Edit and update: I realized that somehow the original audio got cut off 2 minutes early so I have added a new ending to finish today’s thought. Remember, this is a work in progress! Thoughts on the things that can plague our minds, good friends,
