Godly Grit: Unshakable Resilience and Grit for Life and Leadership launches today—in this episode Kyle talks about how to stay steady when life gets hard and bad news hits. What if hard seasons didn’t have to shake you to the core? In Psalm 112, God gives us a picture of the person who is steady, calm, and unafraid—even when bad news comes. In this episode, we talk about how Godly Grit grows when we stop expecting life to be easy and start building our life on the One who never moves. “In the world you will have tribulation.” (John 16:33). “For the righteous will never be moved… He is not afraid of bad news; his heart is firm, trusting in the LORD. His heart is steady; he will not be afraid…” (Psalm 112:6–8). “I have set the LORD always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken” (Psalm 16:8). In This Episode, We Cover: ✅ Why expecting “easy” sets us up for discouragement and quitting ✅ What it means to be unshakable (and how resilience is different than being shaken) ✅ Psalm 112: the marks of a steady heart that doesn’t fear bad news ✅ How fear is often rooted in comfort, control, and wanting to know the plan ✅ Why real faith isn’t trusting a plan—it’s trusting a Person ✅ A story about a charging rhino (and what it taught us about trusting God) ✅ How your response to challenges can make God look big to the people watching
