Episode Summary: When God plants a dream in your heart, the journey to seeing it fulfilled can be filled with challenges and delays. In this Sacred Scar Story, Grace Fox shares how she held onto the calling God gave her through years when opportunities seemed out of reach. She opens up about the lessons learned in the waiting, the perseverance it built, and the deep assurance that God’s timing is always perfect. If He has given you a dream, this conversation will encourage you to trust Him to bring it to pass. Quotables from the episode: My husband and I worked at a year-round Christian camp for eleven years, and God had made that abundantly clear that we were supposed to be there. The director of that camp seemed to struggle with women who demonstrated leadership qualities. That was where I wrote my first three or four books, and I was a speaker but this director didn’t give me any opportunity to use these gifts. I had so much shame because others noticed that I was a speaker and yet wasn’t being given the opportunity, and when they would ask why I wasn’t being used right there where I worked, I had no answers for that. I lived with a deep sadness within my heart. I lived with a sense of rejection, and a sense of “what’s wrong with me? There must be something wrong with me.” Because I didn’t have the opportunity to practice the gifts that I thought God had given me, I began to question if I misheard God. It was almost like Jesus not being able to heal in his own hometown. One morning during my quiet time, I prayed, “If this is of you, then will you do something with it? Will you use it? But if this is not of you, take away the desire because I don’t want to spend any more energy or negative emotions on this, wishing I could do this but not having the opportunity.” At 7:00 that morning, I received a call from a woman about 40 miles away asking me to speak at her women’s event. It was like God saying, “Grace, I heard your cry. I see you in your pain and I just want to assure you, it’s not all in your head. You do have this gifting, and I’m going to bring it about in my time.” And He did, eventually. All of a sudden, doors started opening for speaking engagements. So, I began flying out of there to speak to groups who invited me to come when I wasn’t being asked to speak in my own place. During that time, while I was waiting for that to come about, I cleaned a lot of toilets, scrubbed a lot of pots and pans, and baked a lot of birthday cakes for kids who came to camp or counselors that were there during the spring and summer. I really developed a lot of humility during that time and patience in waiting for God to bring my dream to fulfillment. When the camp director left and another director assumed the position, who had been on staff longer than we had been there, he approached me and said, “Grace, I need a speaker for a women’s event coming up and I think you’ve waited long enough. Will you do it?” There have been a couple other camp directors since then, since we left, and they have all invited me back to speak at my old stomping grounds. I learned from that that if God plants a dream in your heart, you need to not rush ahead, trust in God’s timing because he will bring it to pass but there is a lot to learn in the journey to getting there. I think God needed me to learn perseverance because what I do now requires perseverance too. I can’t do this in my own strength. I don’t want to try to do this in my own strength—it’s done in His strength. It’s also given me an empathy for other women who are younger than myself, but they also feel like God has put a dream in their heart but wonder why it isn’t happening. I get to share with them, “Be patient. Don’t give up. Because if God is in this, He will bring it to pass. It’s the lessons learned along the way that really matter. It’s the character we learn in those hard places.” If God is in it, don’t quit until He says so! Persevere and learn what you can along the way. Scripture References: Mark 6:4-5 “Then Jesus said to them, ‘Only in his hometown, among his relatives, and in his own household is a prophet without honor.’ So He could not perform any miracles there” Luke 16:10 NLT “If you are faithful in little things, you will be faithful in large ones.” James 5:11 NIV “As you know, we count as blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of Job’s perseverance and have seen what the Lord finally brought about. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy.” Recommended Resources: Sacred Scars: Resting in God’s Promise That Your Past Is Not Wasted by Dr. Michelle Bengtson The Hem of His Garment: Reaching Out To God When Pain Overwhelms by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner AWSA 2024 Golden Scroll Christian Living Book of the Year and the 2024 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in the Christian Living and Non-Fiction categories YouVersion 5-Day Devotional Reaching Out To God When Pain Overwhelms Today is Going to be a Good Day: 90 Promises from God to Start Your Day Off Right by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, AWSA Member of the Year, winner of the AWSA 2023 Inspirational Gift Book of the Year Award, the 2024 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in the Devotional category, the 2023 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in four categories, and the Christian Literary Awards Henri Award for Devotionals YouVersion Devotional, Today is Going to be a Good Day version 1 YouVersion Devotional, Today is Going to be a Good Day version 2 Revive & Thrive Women’s Online Conference Revive & Thrive Summit 2 Trusting God through Cancer Summit 1 Trusting God through Cancer Summit 2 Breaking Anxiety’s Grip: How to Reclaim the Peace God Promises by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner of the AWSA 2020 Best Christian Living Book First Place, the first place winner for the Best Christian Living Book, the 2020 Carolina Christian Writer’s Conference Contest winner for nonfiction, and winner of the 2021 Christian Literary Award’s Reader’s Choice Award in all four categories for which it was nominated (Non-Fiction Victorious Living, Christian Living Day By Day, Inspirational Breaking Free and Testimonial Justified by Grace categories.)

Today's podcast is an emotional and personal discussion between two friends reflecting on the passing of Ozzy Osbourne. They share anecdotes about their discovery of his music and the impact he had on their lives as fans, particularly regarding his ability to transcend musical eras and recreate his image. The conversation also explores the significance of music in coping with life's challenges and honoring the memory of loved ones. Ultimately, it serves as a tribute to Ozzy Osbourne's legacy and an invitation for listeners to reflect on their own lives and relationships. Key Takeaways: Embrace and openly express your emotions and feelings. Persevere through challenges and adapt to new situations to achieve longevity. Recognize and appreciate new talent, even if it initially seems different or unconventional. Strive to be the best version of yourself and give your utmost effort in every endeavor. Value and actively connect with your loved ones, making the most of every moment.

A perseverança é uma virtude importante e destaca na Escritura Sagrada. Servos de Deus do passado perseveraram nas situações mais adversas, sobretudo por que viviam mirando o mais importante alvo: uma vida centrada em honra e servir a Deus, o Criador e Pai. Olhar para a Palavra de Deus e suas promessas, confiar em seu amor e fidelidade, são elementos fundamentais para perseverarmos diante de obstáculos e oposição. Uma firme determinação de ser fiel, um compromisso inegociável com a vontade de Deus e um alvo claro também são determinantes. Persevere, com e pelo Senhor sempre valerá mais que tudo.

Whether it's advertising, news, social media, or people we know, there are many voices that try to say, “This is better!” or “No, this is better!” In this message from Pastor Holly, we focus on who we let define “better” and the things that often distract us from it. She dives into Hebrews 7 & 8 exploring how Jesus has a better priesthood, makes a better covenant, and offers a better hope. 

Don't Stop Believing: A Reflection on Hebrews 12 A Sermon by Pastor Richard Sfameni, Lead Pastor at Victory Church in Providence, RI. The Power and Blessing of God's Word The Word of God stands as a timeless, life-changing force. It is not just information, but revelation—a source of power and blessing. For the believer, Scripture isn't just a traditional book; it is the living, inspired guide that shapes faith and anchors hope. The Christian Race: Endurance Over Speed Using the imagery from Hebrews 12, believers are reminded that following Jesus is not a sprint but a marathon. Life in Christ requires perseverance and a willingness to continue through battles, spiritual attacks, and moments of doubt. The encouragement is plain: Don't stop believing. “Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith...” Faith as a Marathon The Christian journey is long and demanding, requiring perseverance, not a short burst of effort. Life brings seasons of spiritual honeymoon and also testing, but through faith, every hardship can be overcome. The Examples of Faith: A “Cloud of Witnesses” Hebrews 12 begins with a reminder that we are “surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses,” referring to the faith heroes listed in Hebrews 11. These individuals—Abraham, Moses, Samson, Gideon, and others—demonstrated faith amidst suffering, deprivation, and daunting obstacles. Their stories assure us: If they made it, we can too. Their testimonies cheer us on, encouraging us to keep running and believing despite all circumstances. Believers today have more resources—the full Bible, stories, and testimonies—than those early heroes did, yet the call is the same: keep the faith. Laying Aside Every Weight The Hindrances to Running the Race The passage urges us to “lay aside every weight and the sin that so easily entangles.” Like a runner shedding unnecessary gear, believers must let go of anything holding them back from wholeheartedly following Christ. Practical Weights to Lay Aside: Weight Description Laziness Neglecting spiritual discipline or commitments Lack of Commitment Merely being involved rather than truly devoted Distractions Allowing social media or worldly interests to replace time with God's Word Unforgiveness Holding onto grudges, which hinders spiritual progress Critical Spirit Being harshly judgmental towards others within the faith community Bitterness Allowing wounds to fester into deep resentment   These are not just bad habits, but actual spiritual weights that slow our progress and can keep us from finishing strong. The passage highlights personal responsibility: We must choose to lay these aside. The Sin That So Easily Entangles: Unbelief The passage distinguishes between “weights” (various hindrances) and “the sin”—which, in context, is unbelief. Unbelief is not a minor issue to God; it reflects a lack of trust in His promises and a turning away from His truth. The greatest obstacle to enduring faith is not hardship, but losing faith in the faithfulness of God. “See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God.” (Hebrews 3) Enduring with Encouragement Like athletes, we don't compete against each other, but run our own race, in our own lane. The victory is not comparison, but completion. The faithful who went before us testify: hardships can be overcome, faith can triumph, and God remains true. Grace to Overcome Lay aside every weight: Make choices that honor God over comfort or distraction. Persevere through unbelief: Trust in God's Word and His purposes, even when you cannot see the end. Closing Encouragement Let these truths settle in your heart: You are not running alone. The “crowd of witnesses” testifies to God's faithfulness through all generations. It's too soon to quit. Don't let weights or unbelief keep you from the victory promised to all who finish. The prize is eternal. While runners in ancient games received crowns that faded, your reward in Christ is everlasting. Stay encouraged. Don't stop believing. Lay aside whatever holds you back, and run with endurance—the Author and Finisher, Jesus, is waiting at the finish line.    

In this episode of Pray the Word on Ezra 4:4–6, David Platt urges us to endure in faith amidst discouragement or fear.Explore more content from Radical.

We all know what it's like to quit something—whether it's a hobby that doesn't hold our interest anymore, a job that's become too much, or even a relationship that's lost its spark. But what about our faith? Can someone who has truly given their life to Jesus just walk away? And what happens if we mess up—does that mean we've lost our salvation? These are tough questions, but they're important ones. And the Bible gives us the tools to understand what perseverance in our faith really looks like.
