Unrelenting Pursuit

185. Resolutions Are Nothing Without a Standard: Counting the Cost of Obedience


Listen Later

Standards are easy to admire. Resolutions are costly to live.

In this episode, we unpack the critical difference between God’s standard and our resolution.


God’s standards reveal what is right, true, and good — rooted in Scripture and unchanging, regardless of circumstances. But many believers stop there. We agree with truth. We affirm it. We even teach it — without ever resolving to obey it when obedience costs us something.


Resolution is where pursuit becomes real.It’s the settled, internal decision that says, “This is not up for negotiation.”


From Daniel’s resolve in Babylon, to Jesus setting His face toward Jerusalem, to disciples leaving everything behind, Scripture shows us that transformation doesn’t happen through good intentions — it happens through costly obedience.


If you’ve ever felt stuck between what you know God requires and what you’re actually living out, this episode is for you.

Standards reveal God’s will.Resolutions reveal your surrender.


As always, we would love to hear from you! If you need any additional information about our 2 day Marriage Reboots, Coaching, Speaking Events, or Resource click here.
