Work Hard, Pray Harder, Fail Forward - Ep. 213

Mile twenty of the Cleveland Marathon broke my plan. The heat came for me and for runners all around me, my hamstrings locked up, and the goal I had trained for started slipping away. In this self-improvement podcast episode, I unpack the lesson that the last six miles taught me, the story of my former player Nate's attempt at forty miles, and the biblical example of Joseph, a man who held onto God's vision through the well, through slavery, and through prison.This is a life faith podcast for men who are tired of waiting until they feel ready. The formula is simple. Work hard. Pray harder. Fail forward. Pick the thing. Put it on the calendar. Let the chase forge the man.Connect with John:Website: https://johngrdina.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jgrdina_coach/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/john.grdina.1Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-john-grdina-classroom/id1596314353Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3MB897IcrtEke2alZHdP3pYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheJohnGrdinaClassroomEmail: [email protected] Topics-The importance of discipline and intentional effort-Lessons from marathon running and failure-Biblical stories of perseverance and faith-The formula: Work hard, pray harder, fail forwardSound bites"Work hard, pray harder, fail forward.""Pick one thing today that challenges you.""God has made you for a reason."Chapters00:00 The Marathon Experience: A Journey of Preparation01:51 Lessons from Failure: The Truth About Hard Work03:48 The Story of Joseph: Faith Through Adversity06:13 Transformation Through Action: Embracing the Challenge08:22 The Formula for Success: Work, Pray, and Fail Forward09:44 A Prayer for Strength and Guidance resourcesBible - https://www.bible.com/Joseph’s Story in Genesis - https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+37-50&version=NIV
