In this sermon, Nic uses Paul's three analogies of a soldier, athlete, and farmer to unpack what it looks like to be willing to suffer for the gospel — and then challenges the assumption that focus, discipline, and hard work are things we find within ourselves, pointing instead to 2 Timothy 2:1's radical call to be strengthened by grace, reminding us that the same grace that saves us is the grace that sustains and empowers us every day.
