Grit Starts with Gift (not grind)

This message explores holy grit through Paul’s letter to the Philippians. True resilience does not come from willpower but from God’s grace. Grit begins with gift not grind. Paul’s story in Acts 16 illustrates this as Lydia a slave girl, and a jailer were all transformed by the same gift of grace. Our identity in Christ comes before our activity for Him. Faith is about receiving, not striving. Joy and peace flow not from hustle but from resting in God’s gift. Holy grit is strength that grows out of grace.
