Manage episode 496145363 series 3558381
Are you on the edge of burnout? Feeling overwhelmed by spiritual battles, lack of support, or sheer exhaustion?
In this powerful episode of Youth Worker on Fire, host Doug Edwards draws unexpected inspiration from a Navy SEAL Team 6 operator, billionaire entrepreneurs, and everyday ministry struggles to share one unforgettable message: "Don’t quit today—quit tomorrow."
Learn how elite warriors, missionaries, and ministry leaders all battle the same emotional and spiritual challenges—and why perseverance is the secret weapon. From Romans 8 to Philippians 4:13, this episode is packed with encouragement, practical wisdom, and gritty motivation for those who refuse to give up on faith or their calling.
💥 Highlights include:
The SEAL Team 6 mindset that applies to ministry
Real talk about suffering, purpose, and calling
How to recognize spiritual warfare when ministry gets hard
Stories of mission work, sacrifice, and supernatural provision
Why you must stay on mission even when culture pushes back against your faith
Whether you're a pastor, volunteer, teacher, or parent—this episode is a rally cry to endure, persevere, and trust God in the fire.
🙏 Do your best to quit tomorrow. Never today. If you can keep quitting tomorrow… you can do anything.
