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.
