SoulFit: How Do You Know?: Perseverance or Force Part 1
From The Mind Body Project · 23:01
Show by Aaron Degler
We compare perseverance with forcing an outcome, using a simple kids’ toy to expose how easily stubbornness can dress up like faith. We walk through Scripture and practical discernment questions so we can tell when to endure and when God is redirecting us. • the triangle and square analogy for forcing outcomes • how perseverance and stubbornness can look similar • what perseverance says: faithful, trusting, flexible methods • what stubbornness says: sunk cost, pride, control, proving we’re right • Hebrews 12:1 and running the race marked out • how opposition can show up in the right calling • Acts 16 and Paul’s closed doors and new direction • discernment as spiritual wisdom and courage to follow • six questions to test direction: Scripture, motives, fruit, repeated warnings, wise counsel, surrender • deciding whether to stop or change approach All this again will be on the app, so then you can, because you probably don't remember, you won't remember it. And so whenever you think, well, what is that? You can go back to that and look.https://aarondegler.com/
