The powerful conclusion to our raw conversation with Lincoln Lawing is here. We pick up Part 2 right in James 1:22-26, diving deep into what it truly takes to persevere when life gets heavy. If working out your faith were easy, you wouldn't have to persevere. We confront the dangerous habit of living below the standards we set for ourselves, and challenge you to step up as a spiritual leader when everyone else sits by the wayside—because somebody has to be the first to lead. From there, we look at the generational impact of our choices and how to avoid repeating the mistakes of our past with our own children. We break down the vital importance of forgiveness, explaining why letting go is essential for your own inner healing. Lincoln and I open up about the hard work of making amends, sharing personal stories from Lincoln throwing a cinder block through a windshield to Corky stealing from a convenience store during Little League—and what happened when both guys went back years later to own their shortcomings, apologize, and make things right. Finally, we wrap up the episode with a few incredible, laugh-out-loud stories, including Lincoln getting the surprise opportunity to speak to SEC football teams pregame, and the hilarious shenanigans from our mission trips to Nicaragua where the bats fly out of the toilet at night. Hit play to hear the conclusion of our most transparent, hard-hitting episode yet!
