Podcast Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/enduretotheendpod/⁠Zunex Pest Control: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/zunexpestco/In this episode of Endure to the End, we talk about something deeply personal and incredibly common: people pleasing.For a long time, people pleasing felt sincere. It felt kind. It felt loving. But over time, we've learned that constantly over-explaining, overextending, and trying to control how others perceive us is not Christlike and it's not peaceful.We talk about how easy it is to give away your power by managing other people's emotions, controlling narratives, and fearing being misunderstood. But when we look at the Savior's life, we don't see someone who chased approval. We see someone calm, restrained, honest, and rooted in His relationship with the Father.Ultimately, this episode is about anchoring your identity in Christ rather than in how well you are perceived. When we know God understands our heart, we don't have to beg to be understood by everyone else.People may misunderstand you. You may lose relationships. But if you are honest with yourself and striving to be Christlike, that is enough.00:00 – Opening music00:03 – Welcome to Endure to the End00:40 – Introducing the topic of people pleasing01:12 – How people pleasing gives away your power02:24 – Sincerity and anxiety behind people pleasing03:18 – Christ didn't over-explain Himself04:08 – Self-abandonment and emotional exhaustion05:02 – Letting people misunderstand you06:07 – Over-explaining is not Christlike07:20 – The “Let Them” mindset08:16 – Trying to control the narrative09:08 – When people hold onto their version of you10:26 – Christ was misunderstood and crucified11:22 – Being misunderstood by close relationships13:40 – Scripture: Moroni 8:1614:47 – God's love is not conditional16:26 – Two good people can still talk past each other18:48 – Being understood by God more than man19:35 – Perfect love casts out fear20:52 – Love does not equal access21:14 – Jesus loved everyone but gave access to few22:08 – Correction reveals character23:31 – Sponsor: Zunex Pest Control24:04 – Correction and humility25:22 – Don't force relationships26:20 – Habits vs personality28:24 – Scripture: Matthew 7:629:00 – Protecting your pearls30:18 – Shallow bonding vs safe connection31:38 – Seasons of independence32:24 – Not everyone belongs in your inner circle33:56 – Oversharing can strain your marriage34:52 – “Team No New Friends” season36:43 – Big rocks: spouse, kids, God38:18 – Losing people doesn't mean losing yourself40:36 – Christ as the perfect interpersonal example42:31 – You are loved44:33 – Think Celestial moment

Clash of the Kingdom John15:18-27 Culture vs. Kingdom Every culture has its own share of wickedness. Stepping into a new culture gives a fresh perspective. Don't focus on picking a team. Focus on surrendering to a kingdom. Culture vs. Christian We don't need any self-inflicted wounds. Endure hardship as a good soldier. Culture vs. the Lord Hated without cause. Humanity renders God guilty. Thank God for the HELPER. When opposition comes, so does opportunity and you'll be empowered.

Then that problem begins to spread, making the entire business feel broken.

With Iran’s supreme leader killed and retaliation unfolding, the US and Israel appear to be testing the durability of the Islamic Republic.

Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/enduretotheendpod/Zunex Pest Control: https://www.instagram.com/zunexpestco/Today we talk about what it really looks like to forgive when it feels undeserved or unfair. So often, hurt leads us to people please, over-explain, or try to control the narrative just to protect ourselves. But forgiveness asks us to release that control and trust God instead.We reflect on the Savior's example. His love was never conditional, yet He didn't chase approval. We discuss how losing people doesn't mean losing yourself, how God's love remains steady through every season, and why forgiveness is less about excusing others and more about freeing your own heart. In the end, choosing forgiveness is choosing peace, perspective, and an eternal focus even when it's hard.00:00 – Welcome to Endure to the End01:12 – How people pleasing gives away your power08:16 – Trying to control the narrative14:47 – God's love is not conditional21:14 – Jesus loved everyone but gave access to few26:20 – Habits vs personality31:38 – Seasons of independence38:18 – Losing people doesn't mean losing yourself44:33 – Think Celestial moment

March 2, 2026 Hello and Happy Day! This is Dr. MaryAnn Diorio, Novelist and Life Coach, welcoming you to another episode of Winning with the Word. Today is Monday, March 2, 2026, and this is episode #5 in Series 2026. This episode is titled, “How to Endure to the End.” Before we get into this week’s message, I’m excited to tell you that my featured book for this week is my popular historical novel set in Italy, The Madonna of Pisano. The Madonna of Pisano is Book 1 in my popular trilogy, The Italian Chronicles. If you’re a fan of Hallmark romance and epic stories set in beautiful, exotic Italy, then you will love The Madonna of Pisano. It is the story of a courageous, single mom fighting for her son in the midst of betrayal, treachery, and deceit. You won’t want to miss this powerful, heart-wrenching story of forgiveness and hope. Get your copy of The Madonna of Pisano at the link below. https://www.amazon.com/dp/0930037227 And now let’s dive into this week’s message.The Importance of Enduring to the End Have you been feeling weary lately? As though you can’t go on another day? Have you been troubled by what’s going on in the world and, worse yet, even in your own family? If so, my friend, you are not alone. You may be wondering what is going on. Life isn’t the way it used to be. Something is different. Something has changed, but you can’t quite put your finger on it. All you know is that, lately, you’ve been feeling more anxious than usual, as though the world is falling apart, and you can’t do anything about it. If this describes you, you are at the right place at the right time. Let me shed some light on exactly what is happening and why you feel the way you do. First of all, you have good reason to feel these emotions. In fact, my friend, caring people everywhere are feeling them. Responsible, thoughtful people are feeling them. And for good reason. Let’s look at some of those reasons: 1. The world’s thinking has turned upside down. Good is now called evil, and evil is called good. The Bible warned us of this in Isaiah 5: 20: In that verse, the Lord warns those who no longer think straight. Here is what He says: “What sorrow for those who say that evil is good and good is evil, that dark is light and light is dark, that bitter is sweet and sweet is bitter.” While these upside-down thinkers may think they’re in good shape with their false thinking, they have a rude awakening coming. If you grew up before the 21st century, you still have some idea of the difference between right and wrong. Why? Because you were taught according to a Judeo-Christian consensus. Moreover, the society in which you grew up more or less still espoused a Judeo-Christian value system. But that is not the case today. Judeo-Christian values are blatantly and brazenly opposed with vehemence and, in many cases, with brutal violence. Christians are being persecuted like never before. Even here in America, we are witnessing increasing opposition to Christians and Jews who believe that the Holy Bible is God’s manual for life. 2. A second reason you are feeling anxious is that the world is being invaded by demonic forces that have been unleashed because of humanity’s increasing love for and obsession with sin. Never in my 80 years on this earth have I witnessed sin without shame as I am witnessing it today. Never have I seen sin celebrated as it is today. I grew up in the fifties and early sixties. Yes, there was sin, but there was also a stigma of shame attached to sin. People did not openly flaunt their sin but hid it because the culture disapproved of sin, and deep down, people knew they were sinning. Today, people proudly flaunt their sin and encourage others to sin with them. Listen to what the Bible predicted about this very behavior thousands of years ago. I’m going to read a passage from the Apostle Paul’s letter to the Romans, chapter 1, in the New Living Translation: “But God shows his anger from heaven against all sinful, wicked people who suppress the truth by their wickedness. They know the truth about God because he has made it obvious to them. For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God. Yes, they knew God, but they wouldn't worship him as God or even give him thanks. And they began to think up foolish ideas of what God was like. As a result, their minds became dark and confused. Claiming to be wise, they instead became utter fools. And instead of worshiping the glorious, ever-living God, they worshiped idols made to look like mere people and birds and animals and reptiles. So God abandoned them to do whatever shameful things their hearts desired. As a result, they did vile and degrading things with each other's bodies. They traded the truth about God for a lie. So they worshiped and served the things God created instead of the Creator himself, who is worthy of eternal praise! Amen. That is why God abandoned them to their shameful desires. Even the women turned against the natural way to have sex and instead indulged in sex with each other. And the men, instead of having normal sexual relations with women, burned with lust for each other. Men did shameful things with other men, and as a result of this sin, they suffered within themselves the penalty they deserved. Since they thought it foolish to acknowledge God, he abandoned them to their foolish thinking and let them do things that should never be done. Their lives became full of every kind of wickedness, sin, greed, hate, envy, murder, quarreling, deception, malicious behavior, and gossip. They are backstabbers, haters of God, insolent, proud, and boastful. They invent new ways of sinning, and they disobey their parents. They refuse to understand, break their promises, are heartless, and have no mercy. They know God's justice requires that those who do these things deserve to die, yet they do them anyway. Worse yet, they encourage others to do them, too.” So, my friend, in the midst of all of this spiritual, mental, physical, and cultural turmoil, how can we endure to the end—that moment in time when Jesus comes to remove us from this sinful world to take us to Heaven? STEPS TO ENDURE TO THE END Let me suggest a few proven tools to help you: 1. Stay n the Word. Read your Bible every day and throughout the day. Keep it open on your desk or on a table so that you can refer to it frequently. 2. Pray. Keep in constant communication with God for wisdom, direction, and the grace to endure. Scripture commands us to “pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5: 17.” In other words, keep a running conversation going with the Lord all day long. 3. Fast. When we fast, we subdue the voice of the flesh so that we can better hear the voice of the Spirit. It is the voice of the Holy Spirit that leads us into all truth. 4. Fellowship with other believers. Scripture commands us not to forsake the habit of gathering in person with fellow Christians. We draw strength from one another and need to be with one another regularly. Together, we are the Body of Christ, not isolated individuals who can make it on our own. We cannot. To think we can is foolish and dangerous. 5. Embrace suffering. One of the greatest privileges of being a Christ-Follower is to walk in His footsteps. Sometimes we do this through suffering. Romans 8: 17 says this: “And since we are his children, we are his heirs. In fact, together with Christ we are heirs of God's glory. But if we are to share his glory, we must also share his suffering.” Suffering refines and purifies us. It removes the dross to allow the beauty of our true nature to shine forth. 6. Expect persecution. Persecution may come through betrayal, through lies spoken against us, through legal injustice. We may not know how it will come, but we can be sure that it will, indeed, come. Hatred against Christians is growing. The Bible tells us so in Mark 13: 13: “And you will be hated by all for My Name’s sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved.” 7. Finally, trust in the Lord in the midst of every trial. Trusting in God while we are undergoing suffering builds endurance. And this message is all about endurance. To help you endure, I’ve written a little book titled The Iron Saint: Preparing the Church for Persecution. Based on the principles employed in preparing for the Iron Man Triathlon, The Iron Saint applies those principles to enduring in Christ. You will find a link to The Iron Saint in the show notes. As we approach the end of human history, the days will grow darker. Already, believers are reporting an increase in demonic attacks, not only in frequency but also in intensity. Satan knows his time is short, and he wants to wreak all the havoc he can before our Lord Jesus Christ returns to remove us from this wicked world in the astounding event called the Rapture. My friend, I urge you to keep your eyes on Jesus. Pay attention to what is happening in Israel, for Israel is God’s timepiece. Bible prophecy is unfolding in Israel as we watch the creation of the Board of Peace and the rise of the AntiChrist’s beast system. Most important of all, if you do not yet have a relationship with Jesus Christ, establish one right now. Do not wait another moment. Only a relationship with Jesus Christ will qualify you to be taken up at the Rapture. Without a relationship with Christ, you will be left behind to suffer the horrors of the Tribulation under the brutal dictatorship of the AntiChrist. Worse than that, without a relationship with Jesus Christ, you will spend eternity in Hell. Jesus alone can save you from that unspeakably horrific fate. If you do not yet know Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord, pray this simple prayer with me now: Lord Jesus, I want to establish a relationship with you. I want to get to know You. So I invite You into my life and receive You now as my Savior and Lord. Thank You for dying for me and rising from the dead so that I can live forever in Heaven with You. In Your Name I pray. Amen.

What is prayer? Prayer in its simplest definition is a conversation with God. Just as any human relationship requires communication to sustain it, so does a relationship with God. Prayer is the means of communicating with God.Why should I pray? There are many reasons to pray, but here are five of the most important ones: 1. We need help. If you haven't figured it out yet, we cannot navigate this life alone. If we try to, we will eventually discover that there are some problems too big for us to solve. 2) We need the help of Someone more powerful than we who can do the impossible.Some problems in life have no human solutions. It takes God to solve them.  3) We need direction. Prayer helps us to hear from God regarding the big decisions we have to make in life.  4) We need hope. Sometimes life can become overwhelming, filling us with discouragement and despair. It is at such times that prayer is balm to our souls. When we pray, we are looking to God to meet our needs. We are not depending on ourselves. God has an endless supply of whatever we need. Prayer helps us to tap into that supply. 5) We need wisdom. Life is full of choices, and choices have consequences. When we pray, we receive God's wisdom to make wise choices that result in happy consequences.  The Privilege of Prayer Prayer is a privilege. It is the opportunity to talk with the God who made you and who knows everything about you. Just think about that. In prayer, we get to talk with the God who created the universe. This is a mind-blowing truth. So, my friend, are you ready to learn more about prayer? Are you ready to embark on the most exciting journey of communicating with God in the most amazing relationship you will ever have?  You might be thinking, “Dr. MaryAnn, where do I start?” You start by establishing a relationship with God through Jesus Christ. If you have not yet established this relationship, you can do so right now by inviting Jesus Christ into your life. Pray this simple prayer with me now: Lord Jesus, I want to know You. I want to establish a relationship with You so that I can talk with You every day and have You talk to me. I invite You into my life and receive You now as my Savior and Lord. Thank You for sending Jesus so that I could be reconnected with You. In His Name I pray. Amen.

Endure today’s hardships with faith, hope, and love.

Guest speaker Sloan Adams, Senior Engagement Manager of Pastoral Relations for TPUSA Faith and leader on the “Make Heaven Crowded” tour, joined us this Sunday to continue our Joseph series in Genesis 45. Sloan shared briefly about his work equipping pastors and traveling nationwide to see lives transformed by the Gospel, then stepped into the powerful moment when Joseph reveals himself to his brothers. After years of betrayal, suffering, and silence, Joseph chooses mercy over revenge. Instead of condemning them, he draws them near, names the wrong without minimizing it, and reframes the entire story through God's sovereignty—what they meant for evil, God used to preserve life. Sloan highlighted how this chapter foreshadows Christ: revelation leads to redemption, redemption leads to restoration, and restoration leads to revival. Joseph not only forgives his brothers, but restores relationship, invites them into closeness, provides abundantly for their future, and sends them back with good news—“Joseph is alive.” Just as Jacob's spirit revived when he heard the words and saw the evidence, we too are revived when we recognize that what seemed dead is not dead at all in God's hands.The message then turned personal, challenging us to examine where unforgiveness may still be lingering in our own hearts. Using the word FORGIVE, Sloan outlined a practical pathway: we must Face the pain, Overcome bitterness, Release justice to God, Give radical mercy, Invite nearness, Voice the good news, and Endure the process. Forgiveness does not deny the pain or erase boundaries, but it releases vengeance to God and frees us from bitterness. Restoration often requires endurance, intentional intimacy with the Lord, and the courage to bridge relational gaps. The service closed with a salvation invitation, prayer for those wrestling with unforgiveness, and a charge from Ephesians 4 to put away bitterness and forgive one another as Christ has forgiven us.Key Themes:Forgiveness and ReconciliationGod's Sovereignty in SufferingThe Gospel Parallels (Joseph as a Type of Christ)The Cost and Process of ForgivenessFaith and Culture EngagementPersonal Intimacy with GodCommunity and MissionEndurance and Spiritual GrowthTimestamps:0:20 — Welcome, announcements & speaker introduction 8:05 — A biblical lens on current events & cultural courage 14:40 — Opening prayer 15:35 — Genesis 45: Revelation releases redemption 17:45 — Joseph reveals himself to his brothers 24:20 — What you meant for evil, God meant for good 29:45 — Restoration, nearness & mission to bring Jacob 33:20 — Abundant provision & revived hope 39:45 — Walking out forgiveness (FORGIVE framework) 48:50 — Salvation invitation 51:40 — Prayer for freedom from bitterness 53:35 — Benediction: Ephesians 4 & final charge

Wars. Artificial intelligence. Global unrest. Earthquakes, famines, and rising deception.In this sobering message, Brother Singh examines Christ's warning about “wars and rumours of wars” and asks the question few dare to confront: are we spiritually prepared for what lies ahead? This is not a message of fear—but of readiness. Listen carefully. Endure faithfully.

In 2 Timothy 2:1, Paul toldhis son in the faith, Timothy, to “be strong in the grace that is in ChristJesus.” So I encourage you—be strong in grace. This grace comes throughhumility, through confession of sin, through recognizing every moment your needfor the Lord Jesus Christ and His blood to cleanse you, to help you, and togive you everything you need to be all that you should be for the glory of God.That is the grace of God—the unmerited favor of God. You do not deserve it, butyou come humbly, asking for it. And my friend, when you resist the devil, andhe will flee from you. ThenPaul goes on to say in verses 2-3, “The things that you have heard from meamong many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teachothers also. You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of JesusChrist.” Today, I want to encourage you to be a soldier who knows howto use the sword of the Spirit skillfully. You cannot use something skillfullyunless you practice with it. You must take time to read the Word, to study theWord, to memorize the Word, to apply the Word to your life, and to share itwith others. We also find that the Word of God helps us grow in the grace andknowledge of Jesus Christ. That growth happens as we remain in the Word of God. Anotherthing to remember is that the Word of God is what fuels reformation and revivalin our churches. Think of Martin Luther in the 1500s. It was the Word of God—“Thejust shall live by faith”—from the book of Romans that stirred his heart totake a stand against the heresies being taught by the church in his day. Ifthere is going to be reformation in the church, it will always come through theWord of God. The church has always been reformed and revived by God's Word—notby entertainment, not by cleverness, not by the trends of the day, but by Hisholy Word. It is always the Word of God, which brings transformation,reformation, and revival to our personal lives, our churches, our homes, andour nation! Sohow do we take up the sword? We take the helmet of salvation, and we take thesword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. You must pick it up. You mustchoose to use it. You must carry it. You do that by reading God's Worddaily—every day (Matthew 4:4). You study the Word carefully. As you read, youask questions: What does this mean? What is the context? What is God saying?How does this apply to my life today? Youmemorize the Word, as we have discussed. You speak the Word out loud in faith.We read in Mark 11:23-24, that whatever you say in faith, believing, you willreceive. That happens when you are praying the Word and the promises of Godback to Him. Oh, how important that is. Then you obey the Word. You are notlike a man building his life on sand; you are building on the foundation of theWord of God. Why? Because Jesus said the wise man is the one who hears Hiswords and does them (Matthew 7:24-27). Myfriend, let me give you a final of encouragement today from this passage inEphesians 6:10-17: You do not have to live a defeated life. You do not have tobe confused. You do not have to be tossed about by your feelings. God has givenus everything we need to stand—the whole armor of God. And as we conclude withthe offensive weapon, the sword of the Spirit, we are reminded again of itspower. Take it up. Open your Bible. Believe what God says. Use the Word tofight temptation. Use the Word to resist lies. Use the Word to encourage others.Use the Word to witness and tell others who Jesus is. Most of all, use the Wordof God in prayer. Spend time in prayer. We will see in the next verses theimportance of prayer connected to the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word ofGod. Myfriend, Satan cannot defeat you when you are standing armed in God's Word. Howwonderful that is—because he is dealing with a soldier who is equipped. So,take up the Word of God, the sword of the Spirit and by the grace that is givenyou in Christ Jesus.

Faith isn't proven by what we agree with—it's revealed by how we respond. In the opening message of Faith in Motion, Dr. Ernest Grant II walks through James 1:1–12 and confronts the gap between intention and obedience. James reminds us that trials aren't pointless interruptions; they are God's tools for formation, endurance, and maturity. If you've ever felt scattered, squeezed, or stuck, this message calls you to stop stalling and start moving. Faith doesn't wait for perfect conditions—it takes the next step. Just endure it.

The Theology of Resilience: Trusting God When Life Doesn’t Make Sense with Daniel RitchieResilience isn’t just the ability to survive hardship…it’s the courage to believe that God is still good, purposeful, and present in the middle of it. Today’s guest embodies that truth in a powerful way. Daniel Ritchie was born without arms, something that, by the world’s standards, could have defined his limitations. But instead of allowing his circumstances to dictate his identity or future, Daniel has chosen a life marked by faith, joy, perseverance, and purpose.This conversation goes far beyond overcoming adversity. It’s about how emotional wounds can run deeper than physical ones, the power that is found through surrender, as well as rooting and anchoring our identity in Christ, and how weakness, when placed in God’s hands, can become a platform for His strength.Daniel is a longtime evangelist, speaker, author, and currently serves as First Vice President of the Southern Baptist Convention. But at his core, he is a man who has learned to trust God deeply, even when life didn’t make sense.Links:Daniel’s Website: https://danielritchie.com/about-daniel/Pick up a Copy of My Affliction for His Glory: https://www.amazon.com/My-Affliction-His-Glory-Identity/dp/1683590821Pick up a copy of Endure: https://www.amazon.com/Endure-Building-Faith-Long-Run/dp/1683595416 About Daniel - Daniel Ritchie A post from DRITCH9 on Daniel Ritchie provided by: https://danielritchie.com Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

Send a textThis episode of FUTUREPROOF. is different.My guest is Trevor Reed, a former U.S. Marine who was wrongfully detained and abused in a Russian gulag for nearly three years, freed in a high-profile prisoner exchange in 2022—and then made a decision few could comprehend: he voluntarily went to Ukraine to fight against the same system that imprisoned him.In this conversation, Trevor reflects on what captivity does to the human mind, how survival reshapes your definition of justice, and why freedom—real freedom—can't be taken for granted once you've lost it.We talk about:What daily life inside a Russian penal colony is actually like—and how close he came to dying thereThe mental discipline required to survive prolonged isolation, hunger, and uncertaintyThe emotional toll of being turned into a geopolitical bargaining chipWhy revenge eventually gave way to a deeper definition of justiceThe surreal contrast between everyday life and active war zones in UkraineBeing critically wounded by a landmine—and what it means to survive twiceHow his understanding of freedom, responsibility, and humanity has fundamentally changedThis is not a conversation about politics. It's a conversation about power, resilience, moral injury, and what it means to remain human when systems fail you.Trevor's memoir, Retribution: A Former US Marine's Harrowing Journey from Wrongful Imprisonment in Russia to the Front Lines of the Ukrainian War, is not an easy read—but it is an important one. And this conversation is not comfortable—but it is necessary.

We have all been through it. The hard stuff. Not the surface-level kind. I'm talking about the deep, heavy hits. Health scares. Job loss. Business collapses. Divorce. Infidelity. Struggles with your kids.So how do you endure without breaking? How do you stay upright when life hits hard? I'll give you three anchors. And these aren't theoretical. These are lived, tested, and real.

This week, we kicked off our sermon series Established as we take a look at the different stories throughout 1 Samuel. This week, we looked at the story of Hannah and how she was barren but rooted in God and found His faithfulness amidst disappointment.1 Samuel 1:1-2 Genesis 2:24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.Matthew 19:4-6  He (Jesus) answered, “Have you not read that He who created them from the beginning made them male and female, 5  and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh'?  6  So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.”  I SAMUEL 1:3-18 Being Established DURING Great Disappointment1. Continue in Prayer 10, 12, 13, 16, 26, 27.2. Endure in all Things 183. Worship the Lord  19  1 SAMUEL 1:19-204. Patient in Trust  20I SAMUEL 1:21-28I SAMUEL 2:1-10Christ is the promised King who will establish His people by His victory over death.

Welcome to another episode of Endure to the End with Josh and Caitlin.In this episode, we respond to questions from our Instagram community and dive into a thoughtful discussion about how this generation is living the gospel differently than previous generations.We talk about the difference between doctrine and culture, especially here in Utah. Perfectionism can sometimes creep into church life in ways that aren't really doctrinal at all. We want to be careful not to judge ourselves or others by human standards that God never intended.Service and church callings are meant to help us grow and connect with one another and with God. But enduring doesn't require us to be perfect. It requires us to be sincere, humble, and willing to keep trying.We also explore how we want to teach our children — focusing on gospel principles instead of comparisons. We discuss boundaries, agency, and why growth comes line upon line. Just like you can't cheat running, you can't cheat spiritual progression either.The main takeaway:Give your best effort. Trust God's grace. And don't get trapped chasing an image of perfection.We close with a powerful scripture from Ether 12:27 about weakness, humility, and the sufficiency of grace in our lives.Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/enduretotheendpod/Zunex Pest Control: https://www.instagram.com/zunexpestco/00:03 – Welcome and introduction00:25 – Instagram questions from listeners00:43 – Responding to intense submissions01:03 – How this generation lives the gospel differently01:18 – Teaching doctrine over culture02:04 – Perfectionism and cultural pressure02:47 – Avoiding judgment by human standards05:10 – Pressure felt by millennials08:23 – Comparison as the thief of joy10:08 – You can't cheat spirituality11:43 – Scripture about not running faster than strength12:24 – Balancing capacity and grace15:41 – Personal experience with postpartum and callings19:08 – Accountability and agency21:30 – Peace through sincere service24:38 – True closeness with God27:17 – Lessons learned from friction33:09 – Testimony of service41:03 – Becoming more Christlike42:03 – Scripture: Ether 12:2744:16 – Final thoughts44:41 – Closing testimony

12 So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. 13 For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. 15 For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” 16 The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him.18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. 19 For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God. 20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope 21 that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now. 23 And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. 24 For in this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? 25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.1.     If you are a Christian, do you ever think of yourself as “just” forgiven, but not really a son and heir of God?2.     Do you ever feel like an orphan? What triggers that and how does that impact you? What can you do to remember the gospel truth of adoption in those moments?3.     Is it difficult for you to think of God as a father, and address him with the affection and familiarity of “Abba”? Why or why not?4.     Does being assured that you are a son and heir encourage you to fight, fight to grow and fight your sin? Why or why not?5.     How does current suffering and future glorification come out in your cost/benefit analysis? Do God's promises in Jesus make the suffering worth it, or bearable, in your mind?6.     Do you see the slight difference between faith and hope? Do you ever find yourself faithful but not hopeful? How does that impact your thoughts and actions?

#206 - What if the voices you let in are steering your life more than your goals are? That question sparked a wide-ranging, grounded conversation with Sagar Soni—nuclear engineer, creator of Beyond the Speech podcast, and a traveler who learned the hard way that more content and more checklists don't equal meaning. We trace his path from bingeing self-help at 1.5x to a simple, liberating switch: trade “I have to” for “I get to,” and watch momentum return without the pressure cooker of perfection.We dig into overwhelm and how to spot it, the subtle difference between being burnt out and being avoidant, and why a little “productive negativity” can get you off the couch when motivational quotes won't. Sagar shares a daily two-part question—“How am I feeling right now, and why?”—that turns vibes into data and helps you find what drains your energy and what gives it back. We also talk books that endure, from Ryan Holiday's stoicism to Cameron Hanes' Endure, and how to move from collecting ideas to actually living them.Travel threads through the episode like a second heartbeat. Sagar reflects on early all-inclusives, photo-heavy Europe, and the trip that changed everything: hiking Hawaii's lava fields and practicing presence. The takeaway is clear and human: it's neither the journey nor the destination—it's the company. That conviction grew stronger through real hardship as he and his wife navigated miscarriages, using travel to reset, and later building guardrails like always answering calls from family and friends after moving far from home.We close by looking forward: Sagar's “three relationships” framework—self, purpose, and people—now guides his podcast and his next leap into public speaking, including a confirmed TEDx talk. If you've ever felt behind, flooded by advice, or stuck between big dreams and real life, this conversation offers practical tools and honest encouragement.
