When you're exhausted, discouraged, and nothing seems to be working, the temptation to quit can feel overwhelming. But what if you're closer to your breakthrough than you realize? In this episode, discover why patient endurance is the key to receiving everything God has promised.

Ever hit a moment when you just want to walk away?

Maybe you've been praying for something, and you're tired of waiting…

A relationship feels stuck…

A goal seems impossible…

And suddenly your heart starts saying, "This isn't working. Maybe I should just quit."

But what if the breakthrough you've been praying for is just on the other side of this hard season?

In this episode, Bart shares the powerful story of Tara Westover, a young woman who walked onto a college campus for the first time at 17, having never attended a single day of school in her life. That first semester nearly broke her. She felt lost, humiliated, and completely out of place. She was this close to quitting and going back to the only life she knew.

But she didn't. And that decision changed everything.

Through this story and the truth of Hebrews 10:36 and Galatians 6:9, you'll see that sometimes the very moment we want to quit is the exact moment God is about to move. You'll learn what patient endurance really means—not passive waiting, but active, faithful persistence even when you can't see the results yet.

Main Scriptures:

Hebrews 10:36 (NLT) – "Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God's will. Then you will receive all that he has promised."

Galatians 6:9 (NLT) – "So let's not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don't give up."

By the end of this episode, you'll discover:

• Why the breakthrough often comes right after the moment you're most tempted to quit
• The difference between passive waiting and patient endurance
• How to trust God's timing even when you can't see progress
• What it means to keep going in God's strength, not your own

Think of one area where you've been tempted to quit. Maybe you've been praying for something, and you're tired of waiting. Maybe you've been working toward a goal, and you're not seeing progress. Instead of giving up, commit to one more week, one more month, one more season of faithful endurance. Ask God to renew your strength and help you trust His timing. And then watch what He does.
