John, Steve and Pat discuss the importance of our hearts. Proverbs 4:23 says that "above all else guard your heart for it is the wellspring of your life. "In Matthew 15 the Pharisees came up to Jesus and asked Him why his disciples did not wash their hands before they ate. Many today are just like the Pharisees that are focused on the outward while neglecting the very thing that Jesus looks at; your heart. Jesus spoke to those gathered and plainly told them that it's not what comes out of the mouth that makes a man clean not what goes into his mouth.

David said in Psalm 19:14 "May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight..."

If God tells you to do something you just do it and not wait to believe what you see, just see what you believe. Steve continues to share how much the Lord blessed his obedience and performed so many miracles on his behalf as Steve stepped out and did what God told him to do.

John, Pat and Steve discuss how failure is not final as they share about Former NFL coach and Super Bowl champion Tony Dungy's encouraging word for Tim Tebow when he said that "God has a spot for you." Tim Tebow for the first time in his career does not have an NFL team to report to since being released from the NY Jets. They continue to discuss how failure is more common than success and that when we do fail we can learn from our failures and as John Maxwell says, "fail forward". Sometimes the Lord will allow us to be in a situation that the only move we can make is to look up. The Bible tells us that in Proverbs 24:16 "for though a righteous man falls seven times, he rises again..." They continue to discuss how everyone wants a testimony but nobody wants to go through the test and everyone wants to go through the fire but doesn't want to feel the heat of the flames. When we are at our lowest we must reach out to God and cry out to him. We can either magnify our problem or magnify the Lord who is the answer to any problem, set back and or failure we could ever face. They continue to hear Tony Dungy's testimony of how he would not compromise who he was for success and trusted God and doing things His way and how the Lord led him to victory.
