With each wave of resistance in life, it can be so tempting to simply give up—to quit the calling, to leave the relationship, to walk away from all the dreams God may have placed on your heart. But according to today’s guest, Pastor Nick Connolly, God hasn’t let go of you, so you do not want to let go either. Nick will help you choose persistence in the face of resistance, find renewed energy and faith, and confidently pursue the promise of who God made you to be. Plus, he’ll get real practical about how you can outlast discouragement and discover a resilience you never thought was possible. So, don’t give up yet! SHOW NOTES: 413Podcast.com/297

#297: Can I Persevere When I Want to Quit? With Nick Connolly

When your life is turned upside down and you realize it’s the end of your hopes and dreams … your plans and ambitions … what you thought life would be like, it can seem like the end of the world. Or at least the world as you know it. Whether it’s a personal crisis, national chaos, or global catastrophe, it can feel like all hope is lost. But, my friend, hope is not lost, and today, Bible teacher Amy Lively is here to pour you a venti-sized cup of hope. She’ll guide you through the beautiful story of Peter and show you how to set your hope on Christ alone. And you’ll discover that when the end of the world as we know it looms, it’s just the beginning of the power of Jesus. SHOW NOTES: 413Podcast.com/296

#296: Can I Survive the End of the World As I Know It? With Amy Lively

After a devastating brain cancer diagnosis, today’s guest, Jay Hewitt, had a decision to make: Should he give up on his faith or practice what he preached and trust that with God, all things are possible? Well, if he’s on the 4:13, you know the decision he made! But what he did and how he did it will totally bless you and teach you how you can face hard things too. Faith in action for Jay included competing in an IRONMAN triathlon while undergoing cancer treatment. Incredible, right? Well, perhaps an IRONMAN isn’t for you, but what it represents certainly applies. Jay’s race serves as a call to resilience for all of us! So, get ready to unleash your superpower, because the same power God put in Jay is the power He’s placed in you! It’s Christ’s power that gives you strength, so even when you are weak, through Christ you are strong. SHOW NOTES: 413Podcast.com/295

#295: Can I Build a Resilient Faith for a Resilient Life? With Jay Hewitt

Most of us spend our lives avoiding pain at every turn, so when we do experience it, it can send us into a tailspin. We can begin to question why God even allows it, why He doesn’t stop it, and if we can really trust Him in it. Well, bestselling authors and pastors of Fellowship Church, Ed and Lisa Young, know the kind of pain most of us hope never to experience—the death of a child. And on today’s episode, they’ll share how they went from sorrow and anger to hope and healing. This conversation is real, raw, and so incredibly relevant to where we all live as we face pain, regret, and grief. SHOW NOTES: 413Podcast.com/294

#294: Can I Find a Path Through Pain to Healing? With Ed and Lisa Young

What does it mean to be blessed? Are Christians automatically entitled to happiness, fulfillment, and perfect peace? Does God’s presence guarantee us emotional ease amidst suffering? Wow! Those are some very interesting questions, aren’t they? Well today, you are about to get far more than interesting answers. You are going to be enlightened and inspired as we talk about our expectations of what a life of faith should feel like when facing difficulties. Author Amanda Held Opelt joins us and shares her own experience of loss and grief. And, like so many others, she expected her faith to cushion her from the pains of life. But when it didn’t, she was left disappointed and disillusioned. So today, she debunks the myth that if you’re struggling, something must be wrong. She’ll explain what the emotional prosperity gospel is, adjust your expectations of how faith shows up in your feelings, and help you reimagine what it really means to be “blessed.” SHOW NOTES: 413Podcast.com/293
