What happens when your mind gives up before your body ever does? This 4th of July, Brad took on the grueling CrossFit workout “1776” - 1,776 reps in honor of America’s independence. About halfway through, he caught himself saying, “This is impossible.” That moment of negativity could have sunk the whole workout… until a friend reminded him, “You’re already choosing defeat. Learn to live - and speak - positively over yourself.”

In this episode of Sermons on the Side, we talk about the surprising power of self-talk, how shifting from defeat to faith can change the outcome, and what it looks like to speak God’s truth over your own life. Whether you’re facing a physical challenge, a spiritual battle, or just the grind of everyday life, this story is a reminder that the words you choose matter - and they can shape not only your workout, but your walk with Christ.
