What separates those who achieve their dreams from those who don’t? It’s not talent. It’s not luck.
In this episode, I explore the often-overlooked quality our grandparents called “stick-to-itiveness,” using the biblical story of Caleb—the spy who saw possibilities where others saw only giants. While ten spies reported feeling like grasshoppers, Caleb had a radically different perspective.
That difference changes everything.
I share practical strategies for cultivating perseverance in your faith journey, career, relationships, and personal growth—including how to handle the obstacles that inevitably show up between you and God’s plan for your life.
