After a little break last week, I’m back with the team for a conversation about building endurance in the Christian faith through daily obedience, patience, and spiritual growth. Sanctification is a process, and so is building endurance. Using a lesson I learned from “ego lifting” in Pilates, we talk about why God may be more interested in our faithful reps than the amount of weight we’re trying to carry. So many of us want the big moment, the visible calling, or the impressive testimony, but God often develops our character through the quiet monents each day. We talk about walking in step with the Holy Spirit without trying to rush ahead, remaining faithful when our growth feels invisible, and trusting that God is establishing roots beneath the surface. Through the lives of Abraham, Moses, and David, we’re reminded that their public moments of faith were preceded by years of private preparation and obedience. If you’re a new believer, discouraged by your pace, comparing your calling to someone else’s, or wondering whether you’re truly growing, I pray this episode encourages you. Baby steps are still steps. You don’t have to reach the finish line first; you just have to keep going, looking to Jesus as the founder and perfecter of your faith.
