In today’s episode of The Good Word, we’re talking about something we all struggle with—grit, perseverance, and overcoming laziness. The Bible calls us to work hard, stay disciplined, and push through when things get tough. But what does that actually look like in our daily lives?

We’re diving into Colossians 3:23, 1 Corinthians 9:24-27, and Joshua 1:9 to break down what it means to work for the Lord, run the race of faith with endurance, and step forward with courage even when we feel like giving up. Whether you're struggling to stay motivated in school, work, or your walk with Christ, this episode is for you.

Are you running the race, or are you standing at the starting line? Let’s talk about it. 🚀 #FaithInAction #RunTheRace #TheGoodWord

Jesus didn’t just call us to love the easy people—He called us to loveeveryone (yes, eventhem). In this episode ofThe Good Word, we dive into what it truly means to love others like Christ, even when they don’t deserve it. We’ll break downMatthew 22, the story of theThe Greatest Commandment, and how Jesus flipped the script on what it means to be a neighbor.

Loving others isn’t always easy—especially when they’re difficult, annoying, or downright hurtful. But Jesus didn’t just love with words; He showed it through action, grace, and sacrifice. So how do we live that out today? What does it look like to love like Jesus in a world that says “cut them off” instead?
