Keep Swinging // Ryan Kramer

Your Failure is Not Final In "Keep Swinging," Ryan Kramer tackles the universal feeling of wanting to give up when life—or our own bad decisions—hit us hard. Using the legendary persistence of Thomas Edison, the courage of Frederick Douglass, and the eventual success of Dr. Seuss, Kramer illustrates that failure is often the precursor to a world-changing breakthrough. However, the ultimate example of restoration is found in the life of the Apostle Peter, who went from violently weeping over his denial of Christ to leading the birth of the Church. This message is a call to anyone sitting on the sidelines to step back up to the plate. -- The danger of "following at a distance" where we believe in Jesus but are afraid to be identified with Him. -- How Jesus uses our moments of weakness to expose what is inside of us, not to discard us, but to prepare us. -- The profound grace found in the angel’s command to "go tell the disciples and Peter," proving that no one is excluded from the message of the resurrection. -- The "Babe Ruth" principle: why you cannot let your last strikeout define your career or your calling. -- A moving real-life testimony from Robert Hurado on how God transforms a life of violence and anger into one of compassion and peace.
