In this hard-hitting episode of The Greg McAfee Show, Greg unpacks a timeless truth: real honor only comes through hard work and discipline. Honor isn’t handed out—it’s earned by doing what most people won’t. Greg reminds us that hard work is a gift, a path to excellence, and a way to set yourself apart from the crowd. Backed by biblical wisdom from Proverbs 14:23 and Colossians 3:23, he shows how working with integrity and doing it as unto the Lord brings lasting reward. From going the extra mile to finishing the jobs others avoid, Greg challenges listeners to resist laziness, embrace the grind, and remember that sweat is the price of true honor. 💪🔥🙏

In this powerful episode of The Greg McAfee Show, Greg reminds us that growth doesn’t come from comfort—it comes from pressure, perseverance, and pushing further than most are willing to go. You’ll learn why winners keep going when others quit, how pressure builds power, and why the greatest rewards are often buried deeper than you think. Backed by the encouragement of Isaiah 40:31, Greg shares practical steps to push past limits: get up earlier, cut out distractions, feed your mind, and do the next hard thing. With faith, grit, and a refusal to coast, you’ll discover how to rise above obstacles and keep building momentum. Don’t quit—push past it. 💪🔥🚀 00:00:00 Intro 00:02:58 Push Past Your Limit 00:03:16 Winners Will Keep Pushing, When Most People Will Not 00:05:49 Pressure Builds Power 00:06:26 You Don't Grow When It's Easy, You Grow When It's Hard 00:07:02 The Reward is Usually Buried Deeper 00:07:39 You Set The Example When You Don't Quit 00:13:50 Isaiah 40:31 00:15:06 Get Up 30 Minutes Earlier 00:15:32 Say No to Distractions 00:16:24 Feed Your Mind 00:16:45 Do The Next Hard Thing 00:17:18 Ask God For More Strength 00:18:30 Where or What Do You Need To Push Past Today? 00:18:41 What Have You Been Telling Yourself? 00:19:10 Don't Quit.

Rooted in the message of Galatians 6:9, this episode is a powerful reminder that you don’t need a title, degree, or perfect background to make a lasting difference—just a heart to serve.
