Choosing Love Today: Enduring Today - Episode 6: Faith That Grows Under Pressure

Today I want to talk to you a little bit about when we find out if we really have faith, or maybe better put, how much...or what kind of faith do we have? You know, one of the things I’ve learned over the years is that faith isn’t proven in the big moments. It’s not proven in the dramatic stories or the mountaintop experiences. It’s not even proven in the times when we feel closest to God. Faith is proven in the walk — the everyday, ordinary, nothing-special moments where we choose to trust God even when nobody’s watching. Talking about faith is easy. Living it… that’s where the rubber meets the road. James says, “Be doers of the word, and not hearers only.” And he’s not talking about earning anything or proving anything. He’s talking about faith that shows up in real life — faith that steps forward, faith that moves, faith that walks. And here’s the thing: Walking faith doesn’t look dramatic. It doesn’t look impressive. It doesn’t look like something you’d post online. Walking faith looks like small choices that add up over time. It looks like choosing patience when you’d rather snap. It looks like choosing kindness when you’re tired. It looks like choosing honesty when a shortcut would be easier. It looks like choosing prayer when worry feels louder. It looks like choosing to forgive when you don’t feel like it. Walking faith is quiet. It’s steady. It’s consistent. It’s the kind of faith that says, “Lord, I don’t have all the answers, but I’m going to take the next step You’ve put in front of me.” And sometimes that’s all God asks of us — not a leap, not a sprint, not a dramatic turnaround… just the next step. Maybe today you don’t feel like your faith is strong. Maybe you don’t feel spiritual. Maybe you don’t feel like you’re doing anything impressive. But if you’re taking small steps — if you’re choosing to trust God in the ordinary moments — your faith is walking. And walking faith is enduring faith. Because here’s the truth: Faith grows when it’s lived. Faith strengthens when it’s practiced. Faith deepens when it’s walked out in real life. You don’t have to be perfect. You don’t have to have it all figured out. You don’t have to feel spiritual every day. Just keep walking. One step at a time. One choice at a time. One moment at a time. And before you know it, you’ll look back and realize your faith didn’t just talk — it lived. It moved. It carried you. It held you steady. So today, take the next step. It doesn’t have to be big. It doesn’t have to be dramatic. Just make it faithful. Because enduring faith… is faith that walks.   So, keep walking, keep enduring, hold on to that faith...and always....Keep Choosing Love Today!
