As Mike Tyson would say, “Everyone’s got a plan until they get punched in the mouth.” I think we can all agree that life sometimes delivers unexpected knockout blows that threaten to send us to the canvas of the ring we call life. Pain, challenge, adversity, and disappointment are all inevitable, but it’s not about what happens to us as much as it’s about how we respond to what happens to us. Will you give up or will you get up? Will you quit or will you keep pushing forward? Thankfully today, we have a very special guest who is no stranger to setbacks in this life. Our guest today, Lance Thonvold, was a superstar NCAA Division 1 pitcher at the University of Minnesota before becoming an MLB Draft Pick by the Seattle Mariners. However, after a professional career riddled with injuries, Lance was forced to retire from the game he loved at the age of 25. Unsure of what to do next, Lance remembers the Lord imprinting a unique perspective on his life, that even when the storms of life come our way, we must remember that we are being planted, not buried. In spite of his pain, Lance has become an impactful author and one of the leading and resounding leaders in motivational and inspirational speaking. Our prayer is that today would shift your perspective, ignite your perseverance, and remind you of the incredible purpose God has called you to! Keep on, keeping on!
