One of my favorite and most convicting verses in the Bible is Jeremiah 12:5. It asks a simple yet profound question. "If the footrace with men has worn you out, how will you contend with the horses"? In other words, there is much work yet to be done, and growing in endurance and perseverance is …

Redirected Ambition Addiction
Addiction is not a good thing. Ambition however can be good, or bad. It just depends on how it is directed. Often times our ambition is purely selfish. We may convince ourself otherwise, but when we step back and get honest we can see the root cause and driver for our ambitious goals. I have …
