As a former athlete, my experience with a particular away game was transforming. My teammates and I spent the entire week preparing for the opposing team, but nothing we did prepared us for the environment. We failed to achieve the victory because many of us lost our composure due to the bias officials and hostile fans. We were unable to focus on the task we set to accomplish because we were distracted by all the noise.
Interestingly, this translates easily to Christianity. As Christians, we are constantly at the away game preparing to face the enemy. However, we sometimes fail to achieve victory because we lose our composure at work, or school, etc. We sometimes find it difficult to hear God clearly and remain faithful to the mission when there is so much noise going on around us.
In this episode we learn how to keep our composure, block out that noise, and remain faithful to God!
