Your New Day With Doug and Kristin PollockDiscovering and Maximizing Your Defining Moments
Knowing there are no limits with God, our passion is to inspire you to find new hope through the discovery of your life’s defining moments. We know that the lessons learned from those moments will help you make changes in your life that you have never been able to make before.
By the time I met Kristin, I had lived a life of tragedy and bad choices in which I lied, cheated, stole, cussed, and slept around. I got hooked on drugs, became a drug dealer, and landed in prison on a 20-year sentence as a result. However, I told the judge who sentenced me that I was not going to be serving time, but that the time was going to serve me – and it was there, behind bars, where I committed myself to live a godly life and embrace the faith I’d first been introduced to as a boy.
I discovered that real success was measured by the decisions I made and the actions I took, by seeing each obstacle as an opportunity, and by moving toward the destiny before me. I broke life down to the moments that gave me the definition of who I decided I could be.
By the time I was serving out my sentence at a Christian-based work release program, my faith in God grew and, through Him, I found the woman God had always destined me to be with. We fell in love, got married, and began working and ministering together through a rehabilitation treatment program. We had two children, all while I completed my prison sentence and parole, and she got a master’s degree in social work.
As a couple, Kristin and I have overcome a variety of personal challenges. Each one created defining moments that caused us to break free of our past hurts and move forward into all that God has for us. Today, Kristin and I find peace and power from our relationships with God and with each other – and our desire is to motivate you to be free from the issues of your past so that you can use your defining moments to strengthen yourself and your most treasured relationships.
Our 10 Commandments of Defining Moments for you!
- Give your best, not to be perfect, but to instill diligence.
- Always finish what you start.
- Trying hard things reveals your weaknesses, which create opportunities to grow.
- It’s okay to not be able to do something, but just because you don’t know how to do something doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try. Give everything at least one try.
- Making mistakes is okay, so it’s okay to make mistakes.
- Don’t stay stuck in your mistake.
- Do what you say, and you will do it.
- Be okay with telling people “no.”
- Don’t walk by trash on the ground without picking it up.
