Episode 60 – Why Hard Work Isn’t Enough: The Secret to Intelligent Biblical Success!

By Ryan Hicks | February 10, 2026

Grinding 24/7 without a divine strategy is not God’s plan for your success. Today on The Christian Law of Attraction and Success Podcast, I discuss the concept of “Intelligent Labor.” I break down why hard work alone often leads to mediocrity and how applying Biblical wisdom to your efforts turns ordinary work into supernatural success.

If you feel like you’re hitting a wall despite your best efforts, it’s time to stop swinging a blunt axe. I explore the power of Colossians 3:23 and Ecclesiastes 10:10 to show you how to work “heartily” and intelligently to attract the promotion and prosperity you deserve. Discover how to align your daily tasks with Kingdom principles to stand before kings (Proverbs 22:29) and receive the blessing of the Lord that makes rich (Proverbs 10:22).

Stop Begging God! The Real Meaning of the Unjust Judge (Luke 18)

By Ryan Hicks | February 9, 2026

Do you feel like you have to beg God over and over to get your prayers answered? Many Christians have been taught that the Parable of the Persistent Widow in Luke 18 is a model for “wearing God down” with repetitive prayer (i.e. the vain repetition that Jesus prohibited in Matthew 6:7). But is God really like a corrupt, unjust judge who only helps you because you’re annoying Him? Absolutely not!

In this video, I uncover the true revelation of Jesus’ teaching in Luke 18:1–8. I explore why this parable is a study in CONTRASTS, not comparisons. Discover why you don’t need to beg like a widow with no covenant, but instead you can stand in faith as a child of God who has legal rights in the Spirit. Stop begging and start receiving the speedy answer God has promised you!
