GRIT: The Grind Behind the Glory
"Grit is staying in the game when your body wants to quit and your soul whispers, ‘Not yet.’” Jay Meyer
In this month's podcast, we are leaning into the kind of strength that doesn’t shout, but shows up. We’re talking about GRIT—that Grounded, Resilient, Intentional, and Tenacious spirit that keeps pressing forward when everything in you wants to quit.
GRIT separates the good from the great.
Scripture says in Galatians 6:9, “Let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”
That’s the heartbeat of grit—it’s not about perfection; it’s about persistence.
Over the next several minutes, I’ll share stories from my own journey, reflections from our recent EagleLaunch devotional series, and leadership insights to remind you that grit isn’t glamorous—but it’s essential when trying to maximize your talents and optimize your purpose.
Whether you're facing resistance in your business, relationships, or faith, this conversation is for you.
