Consider the life of an Olympian athlete: they are some of the most disciplined people on the planet. That discipline and focus on competing in the games take over every aspect of their lives. So it should be for us, as Christians, as we run our earthly race, with a unique promised eternal reward waiting for us at the finish line, all because of Christ’s sacrifice on the cross. This is the wisdom Abi Byrd delivers today as she discusses the dedication that Christians should have in their pursuit of holiness and wisdom. Abi is an author and speaker who helps women understand integral Biblical texts like the book of Romans. She decries the god of “busyness” and advises women to take a step back and let God do the striving for us. She also encourages parents to model Christian charity and grace for their children and participate together in community service.TAKEAWAYSRomans can help women who struggle with insecurity or broken relationshipsIn the book of Romans, Paul draws the readers’ eyes back to the fulfilled promises God made to AbrahamStop comparing yourself to unrealistic expectations on social media and focus on God’s WordUnderstanding the historical context of the Bible is essential when applying it to our modern-day lives🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODEYou Stand in Grace book: https://bit.ly/4nByM0i 🔗 CONNECT WITH ABI BYRDWebsite: https://www.abibyrd.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/absbyrdInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/abibyrd_speaks📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BYWAVwatch (get $100 off with code TINA): https://wavwatch.com/tinaMedi-Share: https://www.medishare.com/tina-griffinCapstone Legacy Foundation: https://capstonelegacy.org/RogersHood (use code TINA for 10% off): https://www.rogershood.com/?coupon=tina🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOMhttps://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWShttps://theccmshow.lightcast.com/📲 GET OUR APP FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDEhttp://bit.ly/landingpageCCM💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION2024 Recap 2025 Goals: https://bit.ly/CCM23ImpactReportMake a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/#counterculturemom #tinagriffin #abibyrd #communityservice #community #volunteer #service #givingback #nonprofit #volunteering #giveback #charity #love #volunteers #donate #communitysupport #makeadifference #helpingothers #leadership #philanthropy #communityfirst #communityoutreach #donation #nonprofitorganization #communityleader #bethechange
