We're certain that only one thing can consistently defeat worry: God's word. Things around you can be swirling out of your control, but there's a truth you can deploy to counter it: God is enough. Need to gain some grit like this in your life? Watch Eddie's full message, Gaining Grit.

When the going gets tough in life, you need a gritty faith to get you through. This important quality will help you lean into God and hold on longer than expected. So, don’t give up. Hang on, commit to grit, and take the next step.

They should have known based on all they had been taught, but they nearly missed it. Jesus’ resurrection from the dead caught even his closest followers off guard. Sometimes, God’s plans look different than our own. When they do, reorient your life to follow the One who always knows best. 

As we enter into Holy Week, reflect on the events that led to Jesus’ death on the cross. What began as people showering him with honor and praise quickly turned to betrayal, denial, insult, desertion, and rejection. Christ’s murder was intended to stop him once and for all.

One of the most important postures you can take in life is one of repentance. Just ask King David. Sin separates us from God, but a repentant heart? It’ll bring you back and save you.

Many of us move toward God only to remember our sin and hide from him. Friend, you have been redeemed. There’s no need to hide. If killing a man wasn’t the end of Moses’ story, your mistakes and messes aren’t the end of yours. Trust that God is still writing!
