Endure
Feb 1, 2026 • Jimmy Lancaster
Most of us think endurance means pushing harder, staying quiet, and carrying our struggles alone. We admire
strength, independence, and self-sufficiency—but over time, that mindset quietly drains us. Isolation feels
noble at first, but it eventually leaves us exhausted, discouraged, and overwhelmed. One of the most dangerous
is, “I should be strong enough to handle this on my own.” But endurance was never meant to be built in
isolation. God designed the race of faith to be run together—supported by community, strengthened by
encouragement, and sustained by shared hope. If you’ve been trying to endure silently? Stop running alone.
THE BIG IDEA: Endurance isn’t a solo act—it’s something we grow in and sustain together.
