Description

This week's message concludes our 7-week series through the book of James, exploring what it truly means to live an integrated faith—where what we believe actually shapes how we live. Pastor Stephen Mizell challenges us to embrace the long game of discipleship through three essential characteristics: patience, prayer, and persistence.

Mature faith doesn't burn bright and fade fast—it stays, it prays, and it brings people home. Discover why spiritual maturity happens in seasons, not seconds, and learn how refusing to give up is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself.

Key Takeaways:

• Discipleship is a long game, not a short sprint—it's built over time through seasons, not seconds
• Patience is developed in the pressure, not given instantly when we pray for it
• Prayer isn't just for emergencies; it's the posture of a mature believer in every season
• Persistence means not giving up when the fruit hasn't come as quickly as we hoped
• There's someone waiting for your call today—go bring them home
