How do we ensure that we stand firm in our faith and that we do become those who backslide? This episode teaches you 6 things you can do to ensure you have an unshakeable faith!

In this episode, we explore the psychology of a backslider, and then from Jesus' parables in Luke 15 explore 4 types of backsliders and what our responsibility must be towards them.

God’s desire is for you to be unshakeable! Backsliding is a Christian term that describes the losing of one’s faith. Backsliding is real and happens to many. It is in practically all cases not something that happens instantaneously or quickly. How can you developstaying power for the Christian race? How can you be unshakeable?

If God is so keen to see me succeed, how come that is not always my experience? How come so many of us struggle and limp and barely make it through? That's the question we address as we learn from the powerful story of Israel trying to conquer the tiny city of Ai. In the process, we'll learn a startling fact - that the greatest enemy of your victory is the enemy within!

As you go through this year, you will very likely face some impossible obstacles in your way. Some of you are already facing impossible obstacles right now. There’s someone listening to this who is facing chemotherapy. There’s someone who’s recovering from a divorce. There’s someone facing an unjust lawsuit. There’s someone who is dealing with losing their job. There’s someone who’s trying to break an addiction. There’s someone who’s overwhelmed as you raise a special needs child. There’s someone trying to stand up for Christ in a hostile academic or work environment. There’s someone who is dealing with a chronic illness. What do you do when you face impossible obstacles?

The New Year can be a time of hope, momentum and new beginnings. But it can also be a time of anxiety and stress! Some of us are entering new life stages that you’ve never been in before  - you’re going into high school, or college or moving into the work world. Others of us are facing tough decisions – things didn’t work in 2023 – in your marriage/business - and you know you need to do something different in 2024. For some it's a sickness or injury or joblessness, or bereavement, and you’re not clear what your next move is going to be. Or maybe it's the stress of not having a spouse or not getting a child, despite all your prayers last year. For others, it could be the responsibility of leading a family or a business in a tough environment, or of keeping your job when everywhere around you there are layoffs. What do you do when you’re overwhelmed by what is ahead?Learn how to develop unshakeable faith when you feel overwhelmed!

The New Year is always a time of hope and expectation! Even if the previous year was difficult, there’s a sense that change is possible, that a new chapter can be written. There’s a momentum that comes with this time of year – we sense we’re on the verge of something new and we want to dive in, to make goals, to accomplish things, to continue the struggle and to conquer new lands. However, this message encourages us to begin the New Year differently - in a way that ensures that we will be unshakeable, no matter what storms we face!
