Every life is built on a triangle.

The question is: Which one are you choosing?

On this episode of Like It Matters Radio, Mr. Black explores the power of the triangle—the most stable structure in nature and one of the most powerful patterns found throughout Scripture. Three points create strength. Three points create balance. Three points create stability.

But not every triangle leads to life.

Mr. Black unpacks two very different triangles that shape the human experience:

The first is Aaron Beck’s Cognitive Triad, the psychological architecture of depression:

A negative view of self

A negative view of the world

A negative view of the future

When all three align, people can become trapped in a cycle of helplessness and hopelessness.

The second is God’s Sovereignty Triangle:

Jeremiah 29:11 — God planned it

Romans 8:28 — God is working it

Ephesians 2:10 — God prepared you for it

Together they form a foundation of identity, purpose, and hope.

This episode explores how leaders can recognize destructive thinking patterns, avoid becoming like Job’s three misguided friends, and learn how to respond with wisdom, compassion, and truth instead of judgment and shame.

Mr. Black also reveals another powerful biblical triangle:

Remember → Do Not Fear → Obey

Because leaders rise or fall based on what they choose to remember. When we remember the right things, courage follows. When courage follows, obedience becomes possible. And when obedience becomes possible, purpose is fulfilled.

This is an Hour of Power about mindset, leadership, identity, and the stories we tell ourselves.

Because the enemy wants to control your memory so he can control your fear.

But God has a different plan.

Remember.

Do not fear.

Obey.

Choose your triangle.

Inspiration. Education. Application.

When you live your life like it matters… it does.
