June 6 – Willing, Not Perfect

Progress doesn't require perfection. It requires showing up. Today Mike and Corey are back together — and Corey opens with something quietly honest: he hasn't kept a note card in his pocket all week, because things have been going pretty well. And that right there is the trap. When everything's bad, he's watching himself. When everything's good, he gets a little relaxed. Mike ties it to Philippians 1:6 — he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion. Which means the harvest isn't actually your responsibility. Your job is to keep sowing. The completion is God's. And for anyone who tends toward manic control of outcomes — which, if you're listening to this podcast, might be you — that is genuinely good news. The stone for today: Progress does not require perfection. It requires willingness. Growth happens when I keep showing up, even when change is slow.
