This week Alex and Scott are joined by ABWE missionary and Western Europe regional director Kyle Farran to explore what true, godly grit looks like in ministry. Rather than defining resilience by personality or overcoming high-pressure moments, they discuss grit as being formed through daily faithfulness, perseverance in the mundane, and steady trust in the Lord.

Farran shares insights from Scripture and decades of missionary experience to show that spiritual grit is earned over time, not summoned on demand. This conversation challenges pastors, missionaries, and ministry leaders to embrace hard things with confidence rooted in who God is, not merely in understanding His plans.

Key Topics

• The difference between worldly grit and biblical resilience
• Why daily faithfulness matters more than dramatic moments
• Trusting God’s character in seasons of uncertainty
• How adversity forms long-term ministry endurance
• Balancing courage, character, and consistency in leadership
