We have all been there, starting something with excitement only to hit the wall of discouragement somewhere in the middle. The new routine gets old, the project loses steam, and even prayer can feel harder than it used to. In those moments, quitting can look easier than pressing on.

But the Dip is not the end of your story. With God’s help, the hard middle can become the very place where perseverance grows and grace shows up in surprising ways. In this episode, you will discover practical tools, biblical encouragement, and simple steps you can take when you feel like giving up.

In this episode, you will learn: • How to get moving again when inertia has you stuck • Why small steps and simple prayers can build big momentum • Four ways to stay strong in the messy middle • The secret to finishing, not flawlessly but faithfully

💡Today’s Big Idea: Don’t quit in the Dip. God meets you there.

⚡️Today’s Small Step: Pray through your hardest sticking point, then take one tiny next step today.
