Welcome to Faith • Focus • Fortitude. I’m Ron Christ, and I’m so glad you’re here.

Every week, we share real stories, biblical truth, and practical wisdom to help you grow in your faith, strengthen your character, and become the person God created you to be.

This week’s message was inspired by a real experience while I was standing in an airport after a week of business travel. Two successful-looking businessmen walked up beside me. They looked polished, professional, and accomplished but within moments, their conversation revealed something very different.

That experience led me to ask a simple but powerful question:

Who are you when no one’s watching?

As business professionals and followers of Christ, our reputation isn’t built only in meetings, presentations, or sales calls. It’s built in everyday moments through our words, our attitudes, and the way we treat people when we think no one is paying attention.

In this episode, we’ll explore:

* Why character matters more than appearance.

* How our words reveal what’s in our hearts.

* What Scripture teaches about honoring God through our speech and our actions.

* Why the greatest testimony we have is the life we live every day.

Key Scriptures:

* Ephesians 4:29

* Matthew 12:34

* Colossians 3:17

FFF Takeaway

“People may be impressed by your success, but they’ll remember your character.”

My prayer is that this message encourages you to represent Christ with integrity not only when people are watching, but especially when they aren’t.

Until next time…

Keep Faith.

Stay focused.

Apply fortitude…

We live in a world that has become incredibly good at replacing things.

When our phone slows down, we replace it. When our car gets older, we trade it in. When furniture wears out, we throw it away.

But somewhere along the way, that mindset has spilled over into how we treat people, relationships, dreams, and even ourselves.

In this episode, Ron shares a powerful message drawn from more than 27 years in the building products industry one simple truth:

Not everything that’s worn out is worthless.

Some things simply need attention.

Some need patience.

Some need grace.

And some need someone willing to see the value that’s still there.

Using the beautiful illustration of Kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold Ron reminds us that our scars don’t diminish our value. They tell the story of God’s faithfulness and the strength He’s built within us.

Anchored in Romans 5:3-4, this episode will challenge you to stop asking, “What should I replace?” and begin asking, “What is still worth restoring?”

Whether it’s a relationship, a career, a customer, a family member, or even your own life, you’ll walk away encouraged to see brokenness through God’s eyes not as the end of the story, but as the beginning of restoration.

If this episode encouraged you, please follow the podcast and share it with someone who needs the reminder that they still have purpose, value, and hope.

Until next time…

What can a simple piece of gum teach us about life?

More than you might imagine.

In this episode, I use the story of a piece of gum as a powerful reminder that every one of us was created with purpose. Like that piece of gum, we begin our journey full of potential, ready to bring value, joy, creativity, and encouragement to the people around us.

But life happens.

We experience victories and setbacks. We celebrate successes and endure disappointments. Sometimes we even feel overlooked, stepped on, or stuck, wondering if our best days are behind us.

Here’s the good news:

You still have value.

You still have purpose.

You still have something to give.

And I believe life has a second half an Encore where the wisdom you’ve gained, the challenges you’ve overcome, and the experiences you’ve lived become some of your greatest gifts. Your Encore is an opportunity to encourage, mentor, and invest in those who aren’t as far along in their journey.

That’s one of the reasons I started Faith • Focus • Fortitude—to share God’s blessings, encourage others, and point people toward hope, purpose, discipline, and faith.

God created you, and He makes no mistakes you were created for a reason.

No matter where you are today just beginning, in the middle of your career, feeling stuck, or stepping into your Encore your story isn’t over. Your greatest impact may still be ahead of you.

I hope this message encourages you to keep bringing value, keep serving others, and keep living the purpose God has placed on your life.

Until next time…

Discipline isn’t about feeling motivated every day. It’s about making a decision and following through even when you don’t feel like it.

In this episode, I share the mindset shifts that have helped me through 27 years in sales, losing more than 80 pounds, and learning that success isn’t built on feelings it’s built on commitment.

We’ll discuss why your mindset and your personal “WHY” matter, three practical ways to become more disciplined, and why consistency will always outperform motivation in the long run.

If you’ve been struggling to stay committed to your goals, I hope this message encourages you to stop waiting until you feel like it and start becoming the person you were created to be.

Remember…

Your feelings will come and go.

But your purpose can keep you moving forward.

Welcome to Faith • Focus • Fortitude. I’m Ron Christ, and I’m so glad you’re here. Every week, we share real stories, biblical truth, and practical wisdom to help you grow in your faith, strengthen your character, and become the person God created you to be.

In this episode, I share something deeply personal my first four-mile run in more than six months.

This isn’t really about running. It’s about recommitting.

Life has a way of pulling us away from the habits, disciplines, and goals we once pursued. We all have moments when we lose momentum. The important question isn’t whether you’ve fallen behind it’s whether you’re willing to begin again.

After surviving a devastating motorcycle accident in 2018, there was a time when I couldn’t even walk or shower by myself. By God’s grace, I slowly rebuilt my life one step at a time. Along the way, I also experienced seasons where I drifted from the daily disciplines that helped me become healthier and stronger.

This episode is my commitment to start again and my invitation for you to do the same.

Whether your next step is walking to the mailbox, taking a walk around the block, rebuilding your faith, improving your health, or pursuing a dream you’ve put off, remember this:

You don’t have to be perfect.

You just have to be willing to take the next step.

God has given each of us the breath in our lungs and the strength to keep moving forward. Let’s encourage one another, hold each other accountable, and become the people God has called us to be.

Scripture:

“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” Galatians 6:9

Most people will never reach their full potential—not because they can’t, but because they never fully commit.

In this episode, we explore the real reason so many people stay stuck. It isn’t a lack of talent, intelligence, or opportunity. More often than not, it’s the daily choice between comfort and growth, between discipline and excuses.

I also share part of my own journey. Over the past 10 years, I’ve lost 80 pounds. It hasn’t been a perfect journey, and there have been seasons where I drifted off course. But every time I recognized it, I made the decision to recorrect, reengage, and recommit.

That’s a principle that extends far beyond physical health. It applies to our faith, our families, our careers, our leadership, and every area where God has called us to grow.

Potential isn’t lost in one dramatic moment. It’s often surrendered through small decisions repeated over time. The good news is that those same small decisions, made consistently, can transform your life.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, discouraged, or like you’re capable of more, this episode will challenge you to ask one important question:

Have I truly committed, or have I only been interested?

Sales is not about convincing people to buy something they do not need.

It is about listening, understanding, solving problems, and helping people make decisions that genuinely benefit them.

In this episode, Ron shares the nine steps of a successful sales process from marketing and setting the appointment to assessing needs, presenting the right solution, demonstrating return on investment, and confidently asking for commitment.

Using a simple visual transformation from a blank piece of paper into a $100 bill, Ron demonstrates how value is created one intentional step at a time.

You will learn why great salespeople:

• Serve before they sell

• Listen before they present

• Focus on solutions instead of products

• Explain value instead of defending price

• Earn the right to ask for commitment

• Build relationships that continue beyond the sale

The goal is not simply to close a transaction.

The goal is to serve the customer so well that they feel understood, valued, and confident they made the right decision.

As Zig Ziglar taught, when you help enough people get what they need, you will ultimately receive what you need as well.

So ask yourself:

Are you trying to sell people—or are you committed to serving them?

Welcome to Faith • Focus • Fortitude. I’m Ron Christ, and I’m so glad you’re here. Every week, we share real stories, biblical truth, and practical wisdom to help you grow in your faith, strengthen your character, and become the person God created you to be.

We live in a culture that celebrates talent. We admire people with natural ability and often assume they were simply born to succeed.

But here’s what I’ve learned after decades in business, leadership, and sales:

Talent may open the door, but consistency determines how far you’ll go.

In this episode, I share why the people who experience lasting success aren’t always the smartest, fastest, or most gifted. They’re the ones who continue showing up especially when the work becomes repetitive, the results are slow, and no one is watching.

We’ll explore how consistency builds trust, develops character, strengthens your skills, and creates opportunities that talent alone can never sustain.

Whether you’re leading a business, raising a family, growing in your faith, or pursuing a dream God has placed on your heart, this message will encourage you to stay the course.

Because lasting success isn’t built in extraordinary moments.

It’s built through ordinary faithfulness repeated over time.

Welcome to Faith • Focus • Fortitude. I’m Ron Christ, and I’m so glad you’re here. Every week, we share real stories, biblical truth, and practical wisdom to help you grow in your faith, strengthen your character, and become the person God created you to be.

In this very first message, I share the three principles that have become the foundation of my life Faith, Focus, and Fortitude.

Success isn’t something that happens by accident. It’s built one decision, one challenge, and one faithful step at a time.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• Why faith is the foundation that keeps you grounded when you can’t yet see the outcome.

• Why focus is choosing what matters most and refusing to be distracted by everything else.

• Why fortitude is the strength to keep moving forward through setbacks, rejection, and difficult seasons.

These aren’t just ideas I’ve read about. They’re lessons God has taught me through life’s victories, failures, business, relationships, and everyday experiences.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, discouraged, or unsure of your next step, I hope this message reminds you that you’re not alone—and that God may be using this season to forge the person He created you to become.

Key Takeaway:

“You’re not rushed into success… you’re forged for it.”
