No Such Thing As Trying. There's Only Doing or Not Doing.
from Built. Not Felt. · host Shannon Ferro
You are not trying. You are not doing. And somewhere underneath that, you already know it."Trying" is the most socially acceptable form of not doing. Nobody can call you out on it. You're not failing — you're in process. You're not refusing — you're working on it. You are, by all appearances, a man in motion.But the motion is circular. And you have been here before.In this episode of Built, Not Felt, Shannon removes the word "trying" from your vocabulary — not because effort doesn't matter, but because trying is armor. It protects you from the full weight of accountability. And the cost of wearing it is that you never find out what you are actually capable of, because you never fully tested yourself against anything real.What you'll walk away with:— Why trying is a built-in exit strategy — and why God has no patience for it— What Revelation 3 says about the man who is never fully in and never fully out— The parable of the two sons — and which one you actually are right now— Why a sincere yes that produces no action is worse than an honest no— A specific exercise to convert every try in your life into a real decision todayRooted in Scripture (Revelation 3:15-16 · Matthew 5:37 · Joshua 24:15 · James 4:13-14 · Matthew 21:28-31 · Colossians 3:23) and built for the man who has been meaning to get serious about this for longer than he wants to admit.A decision is only a decision when it has eliminated the alternative. Everything before that is just trying.🎧 New episodes of Built, Not Felt drop every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Subscribe so you never miss one.Built, Not Felt is a production of The Rise Code.
