Sometimes there are circumstances that I just look at and I'm like, man, I do not see the other side of this.

And I heard a pastor say one time is anytime we're filled with worry or anxiety, it's imagining the future without God in the mix.

And so I think sometimes the circumstance becomes larger than my

outlook, and sometimes that makes me want to quit.

And then oftentimes, I think we all respond to resistance differently and for me

my own personal flavor of response is that I get really discouraged I get really

defeated and if I am not careful I can slip into despair.

With each wave of resistance in life it can be so tempting to just simply give up

to quit the calling to leave the relationship to walk away from all the dreams that

God may have placed on your heart.

But according to today's guest, author and pastor Nick Connolly,

God has not let go of you, so you don't want to let go either. Today let's join Nick in the journey to choose

persistence in the face of resistance. Nick is going to get real practical and

show you how to befriend resistance, outlast discouragement,

and choose persistence where it matters most.

So do not give up yet.
