Episode notes

Tim Storey is back on Called & Crowned! And this time, we’re going even deeper.

He’s the Original Comeback Coach. Author. Life strategist. The man Oprah called on for Super Soul. The one Robert Downey Jr. credits in his story of redemption. And he grew up in Compton, California, where losing his father at ten years old became the foundation for everything God would build through him.

In this episode, Emily and Tim unpack the Miracle Mentality, the framework that’s helped millions move from mundane to magical thinking. They dig into the 8 Buckets of Life, the Law of the Harvest, and why your comeback isn’t just about bouncing back… It’s about being positioned for something greater.

Whether you’re in a season of building or a season of breaking, this conversation is your invitation to rise.

What You’ll Learn:

Why the season of silence is where your greatest transformation happens
The difference between a “good idea” and a “God idea” (and how to tell them apart)
The “8 Buckets of Life” and why success without balance leads to emptiness
How to stay grounded when success, influence, and opportunity increase
How obedience unlocks doors you could never open on your own
