Guiding Question: How can believers remain faithful and passionate in their walk with Christ from beginning to end, especially when facing hardship, cultural opposition, or spiritual fatigue? Summary: In this powerful and pastoral message, the speaker challenges Christians not just to begin well in their faith journey but to finish strong. Drawing from 2 Timothy 4:1–8, the sermon highlights Paul's final exhortations to Timothy, urging him to preach the Word, endure hardship, fulfill his ministry, and do the work of an evangelist. It offers a contrast between faithful endurance and spiritual dropout, emphasizing the value of perseverance and commitment in a world eager to embrace falsehood over truth. The message is both a call to spiritual endurance and a warning against cultural myths that divert believers from the truth. Using stories, illustrations, and scriptural insight, the speaker paints a vivid picture of a life fully poured out in service to God—encouraging all believers to evaluate where they stand and recommit to a long obedience in the same direction. Outline: I. Starting Strong in Ministry (2 Timothy 4:1–2) Charge to preach the Word Be ready in and out of season Reprove, rebuke, exhort with great patience II. Challenges to Faithfulness (2 Timothy 4:3–4) The time will come when people reject sound doctrine Desire for “ear-tickling” teaching Accumulation of false teachers according to personal desires Turning aside to myths III. Call to Endure and Fulfill Your Ministry (2 Timothy 4:5) Be sober-minded Endure hardship Do the work of an evangelist Fulfill your ministry IV. Examples of Faithful Finishing (2 Timothy 4:6–8) Paul's life as a drink offering “I have fought the good fight, finished the race, kept the faith” Anticipation of the crown of righteousness V. Contrast Between Starters and Finishers Many start strong but fall away The difficulty of sustaining enthusiasm and discipline Cultural distractions and spiritual attrition VI. Application and Encouragement Personal reflection on spiritual growth and perseverance Avoiding superficial Christianity Staying excited about the faith and sharing the gospel Learning from older saints who have finished well Key Takeaways: Preaching the gospel is often hard and may lead to rejection, but we are still called to be faithful. Evangelism is work, not just an occasional event left to professionals. The Christian life requires endurance, especially when truth becomes inconvenient or unpopular. Our culture increasingly rejects sound doctrine in favor of comfort and self-justification. Many drop out of faith not for intellectual reasons but because they refuse to change their lifestyle. Paul serves as a model of finishing strong, having kept the faith through trials and ultimately receiving the reward. Believers should strive not only for a passionate start but for a lifelong commitment that finishes well. Scriptural References: 2 Timothy 4:1–8 Acts 14:19–20 (Paul stoned at Lystra) Jeremiah 5:30–31 (False prophets and people's delight in lies) Isaiah 8:19 (Warning against seeking mediums instead of God) Romans 12:1 (Living sacrifices) Philippians 3:12–14 (Pressing on toward the goal) Romans 1:25 (Exchanging the truth for a lie) Eugene Peterson's book: A Long Obedience in the Same Direction Recorded 2/22/81

As a new year begins, there is often an unspoken pressure to feel motivated, clear, and already moving forward. But not everyone starts the year feeling strong. Some start stalled. Some start somewhere in between. In this episode of PTSD and Beyond, we explore why either way is okay and why what matters most is practicing the space of G.R.A.C.E. Grace is not a process. Grace is a practice. When we feel stalled, old patterns often rush in. Shame. Stigma. Rumination. Past criticisms. Stories that were never ours to carry. None of these support healing or growth. This episode introduces the G.R.A.C.E. practice as a way to move beyond coping and into grounded, compassionate self leadership. In this episode, we explore: • Why starting strong does not eliminate the need for grace • Why starting stalled is not a failure • How shame and past conditioning hijack the nervous system • Why grace is a daily practice, not a checklist The G.R.A.C.E. Practice G Ground Returning to the body and the present moment through sensation and breath. R Recognize Naming what is activated while staying anchored in now. A Allow Giving yourself permission to assess and adjust rather than suppress or react. C Choose Remembering that you have choice and practicing responses ahead of time. E Exit and Emerge Stepping into safety and returning when ready, without rushing or escaping. Whether this year has started strong or stalled, this practice offers a way forward that honors healing, agency, and humanity. If this episode resonates, consider sharing it with someone who may need permission to slow down and offer themselves grace. Follow, subscribe, and leave a review to support PTSD and Beyond. Join us on Ko-Fi to help keep these conversations going.

Ever feel like your workweeks slide into chaos, no matter how many productivity hacks you try? If you have ADHD—or just a brain that refuses to follow “traditional” time management—you're not alone. This week on ADHD-ish, Diann Wingert breaks down the problem of context switching for ADHD entrepreneurs and introduces the concept of “focus days” with three different models to choose from. Get ready to discover practical, customizable models to help you protect your time, boost your productivity, and work with your brain, lifestyle, and stage of business. About the HostDiann Wingert is a former psychotherapist and serial entrepreneur turned business coach, specializing in helping entrepreneurs with ADHD and other “not-so-neurotypical” brains thrive. Drawing from both her clinical expertise and personal experience, Diann delivers actionable advice, real-world strategies, and a refreshingly honest perspective on building a business, balancing priorities, and protecting your most precious resources: your time and your creative energy.Here's your quick guide to Focus Days, ADHD-style:The Single Focus Scheduling MethodThink of this as giving every day its own “job”—Mondays are CEO days (big picture, strategy only!), Tuesdays and Thursdays are for clients, Wednesdays for content creation, and Fridays for building connections. The magic? You get to deeply immerse in one type of work at a time—no more multitasking burnout.The Essential Three Model: Create, Connect, ConsumePerfect if you don't want to lock yourself into a five-day structure. Allocate days based on energy: Create (any kind of output work), Connect (people-focused work like client calls), and Consume (input tasks like learning or admin). You can spread these across your week however you like—and it totally honors both structure and spontaneity.The Split-Screen ApproachNot all of us can devote a full day to a single focus. With the Split Screen model, you match tasks with your daily energy: deep work when your brain's sharpest, creative or relational work when it feels right, and breaks when you need them. It's about flowing with your energy patterns, not fighting them.Which one to try?Are your days packed with interruptions? Go for the Essential Three.Thrive with structure? Try Single Focus Scheduling.Need max flexibility or have health/family stuff? Split Screen's your friend.Protect your boundaries (and sanity):Most “emergencies” can actually wait. Create clear expectations and communicate your availability so you're not always on call—this protects your energy, time, and creative spark.Embrace experimentation over perfection:Whether you need more structure or more flexibility, give yourself permission to tweak any system. Growth comes from iteration, not rigid adherence. Try one approach for a few weeks, then adjust as needed.Not-so-fun fact:Research shows it can take UP TO 25 MINUTES to fully recover your focus after switching tasks. And with ADHD? Yep, it can take even longer. It's like trying to cook five different cuisines at once—the results are always a little…messy.
