I think, oftentimes, there is someone in your life\u2014where, if you would say to them: \u201cOur marriage is in trouble and it\u2019s not getting better. We need help,\u201d\u2014that you likely have someone in your life, who would help you.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>This is <em>FamilyLife Today<\/em> for Tuesday, August 13<sup>th<\/sup>. Our hosts are Dave and Ann Wilson; I'm Bob Lepine. When you\u2019re in a situation, where you need to hang on and not give up, there\u2019s some additional advice you need; and that is, \u201cDon\u2019t try to go it alone.\u201d We\u2019ll talk more about that today. Stay with us.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd welcome to <em>FamilyLife Today<\/em>. Thanks for joining us. So, as we\u2019ve been having a conversation about persevering this week, my mind went to 1 Thessalonians 5, where Paul says we are to admonish the idle; we\u2019re to encourage the fainthearted and to help the weak. I thought, \u201cAll three of those are methods of encouragement.\u201d Even admonishing idle people is encouraging them: \u201cYou can be better than you are. You can accomplish more than your accomplishing.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> It sounds like a parenting passage. [Laughter]\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Well, yes; it sounds like teenagers are involved here\u2014doesn\u2019t it?\u2014when you talk about the idle.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> I think that is true though. Some of us need that kind of <em>kick<\/em> to get us going. I remember I had quit gymnastics for the first time after ten years. I was all excited, because I was in practice six days a week. [After quitting] I would come home from school, and I\u2019d put in a movie\u2014I was like, \u201cThis is the life!\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tMy dad came home early and he said, \u201cWhat are you doing?\u201d I said, \u201cI\u2019ve been working hard for <em>years<\/em>, and it\u2019s time I get to <em>relax<\/em>.\u201d He said: \u201cThis is your last day of relaxation. Get out of the house and get a job.\u201d [Laughter] I was <em>so<\/em> determined; it kind of kicked me\u2014like, \u201cI\u2019ll show <em>him<\/em>.\u201d I went and got a job that night, and I needed that. Some people are <em>motivated<\/em> by a challenge.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> The reason we\u2019re talking about perseverance and not giving up in the face of adversity and trials is because, if you\u2019re married, you\u2019ll go through seasons, where you\u2019re going to have to draw from the fuel tank of perseverance.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> I\u2019m just glad Ann and I have never gone through a season like that. [Laughter]\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> I think we\u2019ve heard testimony that\u2019s to the opposite on that. Or, if you\u2019re parents\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann: <\/strong>Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>\u2014you\u2019re going to go through seasons, raising the kids, where you\u2019re going to go, \u201cI don\u2019t know if this is working,\u201d and you become fainthearted. You\u2019re ready to give up; you go into idle and think, \u201cI\u2019m just going to go passive on this deal.\u201d We need voices around us\/we need people around us, who tell us, \u201cDon\u2019t give up.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> It\u2019s so encouraging to hear parents that have been there; and they say, \u201cOh we\u2019ve gone through that\u201d; or a marriage that has struggled. I think that\u2019s why Dave and I share our struggles\u2014is because someone will say: \u201cOh, I\u2019m so hopeful. You guys were so bad, but you made it.\u201d It\u2019s encouraging to hear those stories.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> Think about this: \u201cOf all the things you want said at your funeral, for me, this is in the top five.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Really.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> Oh, I think <em>so<\/em>.

[Laughter]\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Kyle Idleman is joining us this week to talk about this. Kyle, welcome back.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Kyle:<\/strong> Thank you. Good to be back.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Your book, <em>Don\u2019t Give Up<\/em>\u2014the subtitle: <em>Faith That Gives You the Confidence to Keep Believing and the Courage to Keep Going<\/em>. Do you find, in pastoral ministry\u2014you\u2019re the senior pastor at Southeast Christian Church; a huge church in Louisville, Kentucky; one of the ten biggest churches in America\u2014do you find that people, who are coming to church, week in and week out, are fainthearted people?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Kyle:<\/strong> Yes; I think they are, oftentimes, fainthearted for a couple of different reasons. Sometimes, it is because of a <em>really<\/em> difficult situation that is <em>happening<\/em> to them\u2014they don\u2019t control it; it is a circumstance. Other times, they are fainthearted because of a failure. It\u2019s something\u2014it\u2019s not happened to them\u2014it\u2019s something that they have caused to happen, and they are ready to give up on themselves. They just feel like they\u2019ve made too much of a mess of a situation. Both of those require perseverance; both of those require a hope in Someone greater than ourselves. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tOne of the things that I try to do, as a pastor, is listen to their story and then identify what they\u2019re telling themselves. In the book, I talk about flipping the script\u2014that there is a sense in which, when we are struggling with perseverance, that our tendency is to wake up every morning and read from a script that is defeating; read from a script that says, \u201cI deserve to be happy today\u201d; read from a script, where I\u2019m the victim in this story and\u2014 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> \u201cI\u2019m not good enough. I don\u2019t have those talents,\u201d or \u201c\u2026abilities,\u201d or whatever.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Kyle:<\/strong> Yes;\u00a0 and \u201cNo one cares. There\u2019s no one who will help me.\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThere\u2019s all kinds of ways that the story unfolds; but if you are waking up every day and that\u2019s the script you\u2019re reading from, then you\u2019re going to feel pretty discouraged and you\u2019re going to feel like giving up. If we can identify some of those lies that we believe, and we can replace those with promises in Scripture\u2014so not empty self-talk but if we replace those with promises of what God has said to be true\u2014it can give us strength; it can help us. I think understanding where our source of discouragement is and, then, replacing that discouragement with a specific promise in Scripture\u2014that speaks strength into the situation.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Your book is anchored around the call to perseverance in Hebrews 12, where it says we\u2019re to run the race. We\u2019re to cast off encumbrances; that\u2019s really\u2014when you\u2019re talking about replacing wrong thinking or unbelief with truth\/with promises, that\u2019s the casting off of these things that encumber us\/the sins that so easily weigh us down and that cause to become fainthearted or to pull out of the race. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Kyle:<\/strong> Yes; and we don\u2019t think of unbelief necessarily as a sin, but it <em>is<\/em>. The sin of unbelief is what causes us to give up. We don\u2019t believe that God is who He says He is and He\u2019s going to do what He said He\u2019d do. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI define faith in the book with a story of going to visit my grandma when I was a kid. She would keep her puzzles in Ziploc<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> bags\u2014I think it had something to do with the great depression; I\u2019m not sure\u2014[Laughter]\u2014that was kind of her go-to answer. But she would work these puzzles and then leave them out for a while; then, instead of putting them back in the box, she would put them in a Ziploc bag and store them in the basement. We would\u2014when there was nothing else to do, we would try to work one of these Ziploc puzzles. If you\u2019ve ever tried to put together a puzzle without a picture on the box, it is <em>really<\/em> frustrating. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Kyle:<\/strong> I mean, you don\u2019t know what the picture\u2019s going to be; you don\u2019t know how the pieces are going to fit together; you don\u2019t know what you\u2019re working towards. I don\u2019t ever remember finishing one of those puzzles. We\u2019d start them\u2014pour all the pieces out, kind of get going, maybe get a couple of pieces to come together\u2014but we\u2019d always give up; because we didn\u2019t have the picture on the box. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tHebrews talks about that faith is being sure of what we hope for. It\u2019s being certain of what we don\u2019t see. We don\u2019t often see the picture on the box; we don\u2019t often get to see how the pieces are going to fit together\u2014because of that, it\u2019s real easy to give up. We don\u2019t understand how what\u2019s happening to us in a certain situation could possibly be redeemed\u2014that God has this picture in mind. We have a hard time believing that. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tFaith is understanding that God has a picture\u2014we don\u2019t know what it is always\u2014but God has a picture. He knows how the pieces are going to fit together, so we stick with it. We keep at it, believing that, even though we can\u2019t see it in the moment, its working toward something.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> Well, you share my favorite verse, which is Hebrews 12:1. I love that because you talk about\u2014and Scripture says, \u201cLet us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles,\u201d\u2014that is my goal: I want to be free and run free. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI feel like, in our church, with our lives, so many of us\u2014we\u2019re running\/we\u2019re entangled by so many things: fear, guilt, shame, anxiety, depression. I talk to so many people, and it feels like they just can\u2019t run because it\u2019s holding them back. You talk, in your book, a little bit about anxiety.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Kyle:<\/strong> In fact, this last week, I was given the report by someone on our staff who handles the web\/IT stuff. He showed me, in the last two or three years, a list of sermons that had been the most-listened to sermons\u2014you know, online\u2014you know how you can see how many plays a sermon has had. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tHe asked me: \u201cGuess what it is? Guess what it is?\u201d I started thinking through all the sermon series that I\u2019ve done over the last number of years. I didn\u2019t really have any idea. By an almost two-to-one margin, the number one and number two were anxiety. I had done a two-week series on anxiety and that had, by far, been the most listened-to message, which tells me, as a pastor: \u201cThis is a weight that is a lot bigger deal than maybe I\u2019ve realized in people\u2019s lives,\u201d\u2014that they are carrying this anxiety. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThe problem with anxiety\u2014it\u2019s like running a race, where you can\u2019t breathe. It\u2019s difficult to persevere when it feels like there\u2019s this weight on your chest, so learning to cast our anxieties on God in a way that gives us freedom. One of the ways I\u2019ve tried to help people with this is by learning how to pray in a way that gives us strength. What I stumbled onto, as a pastor praying with all kinds of people, is that, when people pray about their anxiety, they typically\u2014and I did this as well; I saw it in myself\u2014they\u2019ll typically pray by telling God all about what\u2019s wrong in their lives. If you sit down; you pray with somebody\u2014about a certain situation, or person, a relationship that\u2019s difficult\u2014the entire prayer will be: \u201cGod, here\u2019s the problem\u2026\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> \u201cHere\u2019s my list.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Kyle:<\/strong> \u201cHere\u2019s my list\u201d; yes. \u201cHere\u2019s everything that needs to change,\u201d\u2014the emphasis is on the struggle. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAs I was reading through the Psalms\u2014this is true, certainly, in Nehemiah as well\u2014there is a shift that, oftentimes, takes place in the prayers of David, where he <em>begins<\/em> by telling God about his anxieties; but then, he switches; and he starts telling his anxieties about God\u2014that\u2019s a much different <em>kind<\/em> of prayer. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThis is what happens, oftentimes, when we worship. We are recognizing who God is and putting our struggles\/our anxieties in perspective. If I can learn to pray in such a way, where I\u2019m not just telling God about my anxieties, but I\u2019m telling my anxieties about God, it gives me endurance; it gives me perseverance; it\u2019s oxygen that helps me keep running.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> What\u2019s that look like? What\u2019s an example? How would you pray that?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Kyle:<\/strong> As a father of three teenagers, it is very easy for me to pray for them in this way\u2014where I am telling God about every challenge they have, everything I need Him to do, to fix whatever is going on in their lives, what needs to be adjusted in their life or in their attitude. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIt\u2019s easy for me to pray from that perspective rather than to pray and by you know: \u201cGod, thank You that You\u2019re allowing her to go through this now, so that we get to speak into some of these things,\u201d \u201cThank you for the way You have redeemed this situation in her faith,\u201d \u201cI believe, God, You\u2019re going to <em>draw<\/em> him closer to You because of the struggle that he\u2019s going through.\u201d \u201cGod, I\u2019m praying that You\u2019ll bring a friend. I\u2019m believing that You\u2019re going to bring a friend into their life that\u2019s going to help them through this time.\u201d It doesn\u2019t matter\u2014praying for them in a way that is not\u2014does not express defeat but expresses a faith.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> \u2014and hope.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Kyle:<\/strong> \u2014and hope, and it\u2019s true. This is how God works: \u201cThis is what He\u2019s done for me. It\u2019s what He\u2019s done for all of us.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> I love how you put it. Instead of talking, exclusively, to God about your anxieties; talk to your anxieties about God.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> That\u2019s powerful; isn\u2019t it?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> It was\u2014I think it was Martyn Lloyd-Jones, who said: \u201cOur biggest problem is that we spend too much time listening to our self,\u201d and \u201cWe should spend more time talking to our self, and telling our self what is true.\u201d We\u2019re asking our soul, \u201cWhy are we so downcast?\u201d and then just listening instead of what David says\u2014now, he\u2019s instructing us all: \u201cPut your faith in God. Trust in Him. He\u2019s reliable. He\u2019s dependable. You can count on Him, and there\u2019s victory in doing that.\u201d It\u2019s a part of how we throw off the encumbrance of anxiety and bring ourselves back. We tell ourselves the truth in the face of the lies and the unbelief that are guiding our lives.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Kyle:<\/strong> One of the things I think people really underestimate, when it comes to the burdens they bear, is they underestimate the people around them who would help if they asked. I\u2019ve really just become convinced that, whether it\u2019s a financial anxiety or relationship anxiety, part of what causes us to give up is we feel very isolated and alone. I think, oftentimes, more often than not, there is someone in your life where\u2014if you would say to them: \u201cOur marriage is in trouble, and it\u2019s not getting better. We need help,\u201d\u2014that you, likely, have someone in your life who would help you.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> But we\u2019re embarrassed; we\u2019re ashamed. We feel vulnerable to say that, and so we just keep it to ourselves until it\u2019s collapsed around us. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI\u2019m imagining there are some listeners, who are going, \u201cWhere do I find those two sermons that you preached on anxiety?\u201d and they\u2019re in the Show Notes at FamilyLifeToday.com if you want to go there and click on and listen. There are probably folks who say, \u201cI need to hear those messages today.\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI\u2019m interested in one of the encumbrances you talk about in the book\u2014the hindrance of religion. That kind of caused some people to scratch their head and go, \u201cWhat\u2019s he talking about that religion can be a hindrance to persevering?\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Kyle:<\/strong> Yes; you know, Jesus oftentimes talked about religion as a weight. In fact, He said, in Matthew 23, to the religious leaders\u2014His accusation to them is: \u201cYou\u2019re loading them up with weight, and you\u2019re not doing anything to help them carry it.\u201d I know that people who, oftentimes, come to church have felt the fatigue and the frustration of religion\u2014of thinking that they have to earn God\u2019s favor; that if they just tried harder to be better, then that would be enough. That\u2019s an exhausting way to live. Instead of strengthening your faith, it robs you of faith.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> Another aspect you talk about, Kyle\u2014which I love\u2014is unhindered or getting free of lies. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIt\u2019s interesting, Bob\u2014you probably don\u2019t know this, but I\u2019m a marathon runner. Did you know that?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>So you need to get rid of that lie. [Laughter]\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> Yes; what are you talking about?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> He likes to tell this story.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> No; I ran in the Detroit marathon three years ago.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Did you?!\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> Yes; I ran the Detroit marathon [pause] <em>relay<\/em>. [Laughter] I just keep the \u201crelay\u201d like I\u2019m coughing; but no, I was part of a five-man team.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> I thought it was going to be maybe a 25-man team. [Laughter]\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> No; it\u2019s actually an unbelievable thing the runners in our church do\u2014they run for clean water in Africa. Each runner tries to raise $1,000. We\u2019ve raised $4.1 million over several years. I jumped in and said, \u201cI have a really bad left knee, and so I can\u2019t run a marathon; but I can run a relay.\u201d I had to run the finishing leg\u20147.1 miles. It is funny\u2014as I broke the tape, I sort of acted like I had just finished 26.2, you know? \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tEverything you\u2019re saying is so true. I\u2019m not a runner; but you know\u2014in that short little training and, then, that day to run\u2014which was so exciting to run for something of purpose, which was really cool. I was teared-up at the end\u2014not because I was dying\u2014but because it meant something. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tEverything you\u2019re talking about\u2014I experienced, in a small way, as a runner. First thing is I started throwing off everything I was wearing\u2014I had a sweatshirt on\u2014trying to get lighter and lighter. I\u2019m only running seven miles; but it\u2019s getting hard, and there\u2019s ascension up hills. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThe thing that kept me from not quitting in the last mile was I could see the finish line\u2014and that was exciting\u2014but was a couple of friends, who I asked to get on bikes and pedal beside me. They had already run; they were runners\u2014and Ann was one of them. They just kept whispering, \u201cKeep going man\u201d; because I was about to just walk it in. My goal was: \u201cDon\u2019t walk one step; run the whole thing.\u201d Those people\u2014what you were just saying, Kyle, speaking truth into me\u2014my lie was: \u201cI can\u2019t finish. I\u2019m just going to walk it in. That\u2019s okay. Nobody\u2019s going to say you shouldn\u2019t,\u201d\u2014but having Rob there and Ann there, saying: \u201cKeep going. Keep going. You can do this,\u201d\u2014was a weight of the lie. I was telling myself a lie, but they were speaking truth that changed everything. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tTalk about that, because that\u2019s a big one for people believing lies. One of them is just: \u201cI don\u2019t have what it takes to finish.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Kyle:<\/strong> You know, they talk about the lies we believe are usually rooted in what\u2019s called the \u201cearly and often factors\u201d\u2014that things that we are told, at a young age, and repeated to us, frequently, have a way of setting in\u2014kind of a neural pathway gets established\u2014and those are the things we believe to be true about ourselves. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThis is why you can talk to someone, who is an incredibly successful CEO, and operates out of insecurity and feelings of failure. If you talk to people like that, you will find, oftentimes, that when they were young, they had the opposite of what you just expressed. They were running a race; and a parent, or a teacher, or a sibling came alongside of them and said: \u201cYou can\u2019t do this,\u201d \u201cYou don\u2019t have what it takes,\u201d \u201cYou\u2019re <em>never<\/em> going to measure up,\u201d \u201cWhy are you even trying? Every time you try, it fails.\u201d You know, they\u2019ve got those voices rooted and established in their head. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tBeing able to show that to people\/being able to say: \u201cLook, here\u2019s what you are believing\u2026It\u2019s not true. The truth is\u2014you might not be able to have what it takes, but God\u2019s strength is made perfect in your weakness,\u201d \u201cThe truth is that all things work together for good,\u201d\u2014\u201cthat God can redeem anything you\u2019ve gone through,\u201d\u2014\u201cthat it\u2019s not beyond His power to heal or to repair.\u201d Helping people identify some things that they\u2019ve heard, early and often, and then replace that with what God has said to be true. What will happen is\u2014if they don\u2019t do that, they\u2019ll end up saying those things to the next generation.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> And again, you\u2019re not talking about positive thinking; you\u2019re talking about believing. You\u2019re talking about taking God at His Word and saying, \u201cI\u2019m going to act as though this is true,\u201d which is what faith is.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Kyle:<\/strong> I have a friend, who is a sports psychologist. He talks about the power of a mantra. The idea is that\u2014if there is an athlete, who has missed some free throws at the end of a game\u2014and after that, really struggles with his free throw shooting\u2014he needs a mantra. He needs something that, when he steps into that moment, where he feels insecure, that he\u2019s going to tell himself. My friend, who\u2019s a sports psychologist, said the mantra has to be true; you can\u2019t just make up something. [Laughter]\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> \u201cI\u2019m as good as Michael Jordan,\u201d\u2014right?\u2014that isn\u2019t going to work.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Kyle:<\/strong> Like it needs to be rooted in the fact that: \u201cYou know, I make a hundred of these after every practice every day; and it\u2019s true.\u201d He said: \u201cIf you have a mantra that is true, and you train an athlete\u2014that\u2019s what they\u2019re saying\u2014they\u2019re not thinking about the times they <em>missed<\/em> it; they\u2019re thinking about the hundred shot free throws they made the day before practice. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThat\u2019s the difference between this positive self-talk\/wishful thinking versus a truth that is rooted in Scripture\u2014it\u2019s real.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> And this is where Scripture memory becomes so vital for all of us to have God\u2019s Word hidden in your heart so that the Holy Spirit brings it to mind at the points when the lies are coming. You go: \u201cNo; here\u2019s what the Bible says\u2026\u201d \u201cHere\u2019s what I know is true\u2026\u201d \u201cThere is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.\u201d Whatever it is that you need in the moment comes to you in those moments\u2014this is what the walk of faith looks like. It\u2019s what is at the heart of the book, <em>Don\u2019t Give Up,<\/em> that we\u2019re talking about this week. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWe\u2019ve got copies of Kyle\u2019s book in our <em>FamilyLife Today<\/em> Resource Center. You can go, online, to FamilyLifeToday.com to get a copy; or call 1-800-FL-TODAY. You may want to go through this book in a book club; or if you\u2019ve got a small group, get multiple copies. I think going through a book like this, where you can talk with other people about it as you read it, I think that just expands the impact of the book.

They\u2019ve asked us, \u2018Is there any way that we could translate some of our resources?\u2019\u2014specifically, the <em>Art of Parenting<\/em><sup>\u00ae<\/sup> video series and the movie, <em>Like Arrows,<\/em> that is connected to that video series\u2014they\u2019ve wondered if there\u2019s a way to get these resources translated into Mandarin or into Arabic. They\u2019re hungry for these resources, so we\u2019re trying to raise money to do that. Could you maybe pitch in $20, or $50, or $100 to help us with the translation efforts?\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI\u2019m thinking, \u201cIf we were having lunch, you\u2019d reach into your wallet right now and say, \u2018Yes, here; I want to help.\u2019\u201d Well, I wish we could have lunch; but in lieu of that, the request is still the same. We are trying to move forward with a significant project to get FamilyLife<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> resources, like the <em>Art of Parenting<\/em>, in languages that can be used worldwide. That\u2019s just one of the ways that FamilyLife is trying to expand the reach of this ministry. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThis month, we\u2019re asking <em>FamilyLife Today<\/em> listeners to consider making a special donation toward this project; and here\u2019s part of the reason why. We\u2019ve had a friend of the ministry come to us and offer to match your donation this month, dollar for dollar, up to a total of $500,000. If all of our <em>FamilyLife Today<\/em> listeners would say: \u201cI\u2019ll do a little bit.

Help us take full advantage of the matching gift that\u2019s available. Then, secondly, we want to say, \u201cThank you.\u201d We\u2019ll send you a copy of Dennis and Barbara Rainey\u2019s book, <em>The Art of Marriage,<\/em> that you can keep for yourself or pass on to someone who would benefit from having that book. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIt\u2019s easy to donate: go online to FamilyLifeToday.com or call us at 1-800-FL-TODAY.

Here\u2019s Pastor Kyle Idleman.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Kyle:<\/strong> You know, whether it\u2019s financial anxiety or relationship anxiety, part of what causes us to give up is we feel very isolated and alone. I think, oftentimes, there is someone in your life\u2014where, if you would say to them: \u201cOur marriage is in trouble and it\u2019s not getting better. We need help,\u201d\u2014that you likely have someone in your life, who would help you.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>This is <em>FamilyLife Today<\/em> for Tuesday, August 13<sup>th<\/sup>. Our hosts are Dave and Ann Wilson; I'm Bob Lepine. When you\u2019re in a situation, where you need to hang on and not give up, there\u2019s some additional advice you need; and that is, \u201cDon\u2019t try to go it alone.\u201d We\u2019ll talk more about that today. Stay with us.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd welcome to <em>FamilyLife Today<\/em>. Thanks for joining us. So, as we\u2019ve been having a conversation about persevering this week, my mind went to 1 Thessalonians 5, where Paul says we are to admonish the idle; we\u2019re to encourage the fainthearted and to help the weak. I thought, \u201cAll three of those are methods of encouragement.\u201d Even admonishing idle people is encouraging them: \u201cYou can be better than you are. You can accomplish more than your accomplishing.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> It sounds like a parenting passage. [Laughter]\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Well, yes; it sounds like teenagers are involved here\u2014doesn\u2019t it?\u2014when you talk about the idle.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> I think that is true though. Some of us need that kind of <em>kick<\/em> to get us going. I remember I had quit gymnastics for the first time after ten years. I was all excited, because I was in practice six days a week. [After quitting] I would come home from school, and I\u2019d put in a movie\u2014I was like, \u201cThis is the life!\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tMy dad came home early and he said, \u201cWhat are you doing?\u201d I said, \u201cI\u2019ve been working hard for <em>years<\/em>, and it\u2019s time I get to <em>relax<\/em>.\u201d He said: \u201cThis is your last day of relaxation. Get out of the house and get a job.\u201d [Laughter] I was <em>so<\/em> determined; it kind of kicked me\u2014like, \u201cI\u2019ll show <em>him<\/em>.\u201d I went and got a job that night, and I needed that. Some people are <em>motivated<\/em> by a challenge.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> The reason we\u2019re talking about perseverance and not giving up in the face of adversity and trials is because, if you\u2019re married, you\u2019ll go through seasons, where you\u2019re going to have to draw from the fuel tank of perseverance.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> I\u2019m just glad Ann and I have never gone through a season like that. [Laughter]\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> I think we\u2019ve heard testimony that\u2019s to the opposite on that. Or, if you\u2019re parents\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann: <\/strong>Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>\u2014you\u2019re going to go through seasons, raising the kids, where you\u2019re going to go, \u201cI don\u2019t know if this is working,\u201d and you become fainthearted. You\u2019re ready to give up; you go into idle and think, \u201cI\u2019m just going to go passive on this deal.\u201d We need voices around us\/we need people around us, who tell us, \u201cDon\u2019t give up.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> It\u2019s so encouraging to hear parents that have been there; and they say, \u201cOh we\u2019ve gone through that\u201d; or a marriage that has struggled. I think that\u2019s why Dave and I share our struggles\u2014is because someone will say: \u201cOh, I\u2019m so hopeful. You guys were so bad, but you made it.\u201d It\u2019s encouraging to hear those stories.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> Think about this: \u201cOf all the things you want said at your funeral, for me, this is in the top five.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Really.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> Oh, I think <em>so<\/em>. I would want them to remember: \u201cHe never quit. He just kept persevering through the hard times.\u201d Wouldn\u2019t you want that said?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Abs\u2014I mean, who wouldn\u2019t?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> I want it said; I don\u2019t want to go <em>through<\/em> it. [Laughter]\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Kyle Idleman is joining us this week to talk about this. Kyle, welcome back.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Kyle:<\/strong> Thank you. Good to be back.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Your book, <em>Don\u2019t Give Up<\/em>\u2014the subtitle: <em>Faith That Gives You the Confidence to Keep Believing and the Courage to Keep Going<\/em>. Do you find, in pastoral ministry\u2014you\u2019re the senior pastor at Southeast Christian Church; a huge church in Louisville, Kentucky; one of the ten biggest churches in America\u2014do you find that people, who are coming to church, week in and week out, are fainthearted people?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Kyle:<\/strong> Yes; I think they are, oftentimes, fainthearted for a couple of different reasons. Sometimes, it is because of a <em>really<\/em> difficult situation that is <em>happening<\/em> to them\u2014they don\u2019t control it; it is a circumstance. Other times, they are fainthearted because of a failure. It\u2019s something\u2014it\u2019s not happened to them\u2014it\u2019s something that they have caused to happen, and they are ready to give up on themselves. They just feel like they\u2019ve made too much of a mess of a situation. Both of those require perseverance; both of those require a hope in Someone greater than ourselves. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tOne of the things that I try to do, as a pastor, is listen to their story and then identify what they\u2019re telling themselves. In the book, I talk about flipping the script\u2014that there is a sense in which, when we are struggling with perseverance, that our tendency is to wake up every morning and read from a script that is defeating; read from a script that says, \u201cI deserve to be happy today\u201d; read from a script, where I\u2019m the victim in this story and\u2014 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> \u201cI\u2019m not good enough. I don\u2019t have those talents,\u201d or \u201c\u2026abilities,\u201d or whatever.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Kyle:<\/strong> Yes;\u00a0 and \u201cNo one cares. There\u2019s no one who will help me.\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThere\u2019s all kinds of ways that the story unfolds; but if you are waking up every day and that\u2019s the script you\u2019re reading from, then you\u2019re going to feel pretty discouraged and you\u2019re going to feel like giving up. If we can identify some of those lies that we believe, and we can replace those with promises in Scripture\u2014so not empty self-talk but if we replace those with promises of what God has said to be true\u2014it can give us strength; it can help us. I think understanding where our source of discouragement is and, then, replacing that discouragement with a specific promise in Scripture\u2014that speaks strength into the situation.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Your book is anchored around the call to perseverance in Hebrews 12, where it says we\u2019re to run the race. We\u2019re to cast off encumbrances; that\u2019s really\u2014when you\u2019re talking about replacing wrong thinking or unbelief with truth\/with promises, that\u2019s the casting off of these things that encumber us\/the sins that so easily weigh us down and that cause to become fainthearted or to pull out of the race. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Kyle:<\/strong> Yes; and we don\u2019t think of unbelief necessarily as a sin, but it <em>is<\/em>. The sin of unbelief is what causes us to give up. We don\u2019t believe that God is who He says He is and He\u2019s going to do what He said He\u2019d do. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI define faith in the book with a story of going to visit my grandma when I was a kid. She would keep her puzzles in Ziploc<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> bags\u2014I think it had something to do with the great depression; I\u2019m not sure\u2014[Laughter]\u2014that was kind of her go-to answer. But she would work these puzzles and then leave them out for a while; then, instead of putting them back in the box, she would put them in a Ziploc bag and store them in the basement. We would\u2014when there was nothing else to do, we would try to work one of these Ziploc puzzles. If you\u2019ve ever tried to put together a puzzle without a picture on the box, it is <em>really<\/em> frustrating. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Kyle:<\/strong> I mean, you don\u2019t know what the picture\u2019s going to be; you don\u2019t know how the pieces are going to fit together; you don\u2019t know what you\u2019re working towards. I don\u2019t ever remember finishing one of those puzzles. We\u2019d start them\u2014pour all the pieces out, kind of get going, maybe get a couple of pieces to come together\u2014but we\u2019d always give up; because we didn\u2019t have the picture on the box. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tHebrews talks about that faith is being sure of what we hope for. It\u2019s being certain of what we don\u2019t see. We don\u2019t often see the picture on the box; we don\u2019t often get to see how the pieces are going to fit together\u2014because of that, it\u2019s real easy to give up. We don\u2019t understand how what\u2019s happening to us in a certain situation could possibly be redeemed\u2014that God has this picture in mind. We have a hard time believing that. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tFaith is understanding that God has a picture\u2014we don\u2019t know what it is always\u2014but God has a picture. He knows how the pieces are going to fit together, so we stick with it. We keep at it, believing that, even though we can\u2019t see it in the moment, its working toward something.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> Well, you share my favorite verse, which is Hebrews 12:1. I love that because you talk about\u2014and Scripture says, \u201cLet us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles,\u201d\u2014that is my goal: I want to be free and run free. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI feel like, in our church, with our lives, so many of us\u2014we\u2019re running\/we\u2019re entangled by so many things: fear, guilt, shame, anxiety, depression. I talk to so many people, and it feels like they just can\u2019t run because it\u2019s holding them back. You talk, in your book, a little bit about anxiety.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Kyle:<\/strong> In fact, this last week, I was given the report by someone on our staff who handles the web\/IT stuff. He showed me, in the last two or three years, a list of sermons that had been the most-listened to sermons\u2014you know, online\u2014you know how you can see how many plays a sermon has had. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tHe asked me: \u201cGuess what it is? Guess what it is?\u201d I started thinking through all the sermon series that I\u2019ve done over the last number of years. I didn\u2019t really have any idea. By an almost two-to-one margin, the number one and number two were anxiety. I had done a two-week series on anxiety and that had, by far, been the most listened-to message, which tells me, as a pastor: \u201cThis is a weight that is a lot bigger deal than maybe I\u2019ve realized in people\u2019s lives,\u201d\u2014that they are carrying this anxiety. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThe problem with anxiety\u2014it\u2019s like running a race, where you can\u2019t breathe. It\u2019s difficult to persevere when it feels like there\u2019s this weight on your chest, so learning to cast our anxieties on God in a way that gives us freedom. One of the ways I\u2019ve tried to help people with this is by learning how to pray in a way that gives us strength. What I stumbled onto, as a pastor praying with all kinds of people, is that, when people pray about their anxiety, they typically\u2014and I did this as well; I saw it in myself\u2014they\u2019ll typically pray by telling God all about what\u2019s wrong in their lives. If you sit down; you pray with somebody\u2014about a certain situation, or person, a relationship that\u2019s difficult\u2014the entire prayer will be: \u201cGod, here\u2019s the problem\u2026\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> \u201cHere\u2019s my list.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Kyle:<\/strong> \u201cHere\u2019s my list\u201d; yes. \u201cHere\u2019s everything that needs to change,\u201d\u2014the emphasis is on the struggle. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAs I was reading through the Psalms\u2014this is true, certainly, in Nehemiah as well\u2014there is a shift that, oftentimes, takes place in the prayers of David, where he <em>begins<\/em> by telling God about his anxieties; but then, he switches; and he starts telling his anxieties about God\u2014that\u2019s a much different <em>kind<\/em> of prayer. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThis is what happens, oftentimes, when we worship. We are recognizing who God is and putting our struggles\/our anxieties in perspective. If I can learn to pray in such a way, where I\u2019m not just telling God about my anxieties, but I\u2019m telling my anxieties about God, it gives me endurance; it gives me perseverance; it\u2019s oxygen that helps me keep running.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> What\u2019s that look like? What\u2019s an example? How would you pray that?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Kyle:<\/strong> As a father of three teenagers, it is very easy for me to pray for them in this way\u2014where I am telling God about every challenge they have, everything I need Him to do, to fix whatever is going on in their lives, what needs to be adjusted in their life or in their attitude. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIt\u2019s easy for me to pray from that perspective rather than to pray and by you know: \u201cGod, thank You that You\u2019re allowing her to go through this now, so that we get to speak into some of these things,\u201d \u201cThank you for the way You have redeemed this situation in her faith,\u201d \u201cI believe, God, You\u2019re going to <em>draw<\/em> him closer to You because of the struggle that he\u2019s going through.\u201d \u201cGod, I\u2019m praying that You\u2019ll bring a friend. I\u2019m believing that You\u2019re going to bring a friend into their life that\u2019s going to help them through this time.\u201d It doesn\u2019t matter\u2014praying for them in a way that is not\u2014does not express defeat but expresses a faith.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> \u2014and hope.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Kyle:<\/strong> \u2014and hope, and it\u2019s true. This is how God works: \u201cThis is what He\u2019s done for me. It\u2019s what He\u2019s done for all of us.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> I love how you put it. Instead of talking, exclusively, to God about your anxieties; talk to your anxieties about God.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> That\u2019s powerful; isn\u2019t it?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> It was\u2014I think it was Martyn Lloyd-Jones, who said: \u201cOur biggest problem is that we spend too much time listening to our self,\u201d and \u201cWe should spend more time talking to our self, and telling our self what is true.\u201d We\u2019re asking our soul, \u201cWhy are we so downcast?\u201d and then just listening instead of what David says\u2014now, he\u2019s instructing us all: \u201cPut your faith in God. Trust in Him. He\u2019s reliable. He\u2019s dependable. You can count on Him, and there\u2019s victory in doing that.\u201d It\u2019s a part of how we throw off the encumbrance of anxiety and bring ourselves back. We tell ourselves the truth in the face of the lies and the unbelief that are guiding our lives.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Kyle:<\/strong> One of the things I think people really underestimate, when it comes to the burdens they bear, is they underestimate the people around them who would help if they asked. I\u2019ve really just become convinced that, whether it\u2019s a financial anxiety or relationship anxiety, part of what causes us to give up is we feel very isolated and alone. I think, oftentimes, more often than not, there is someone in your life where\u2014if you would say to them: \u201cOur marriage is in trouble, and it\u2019s not getting better. We need help,\u201d\u2014that you, likely, have someone in your life who would help you.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> But we\u2019re embarrassed; we\u2019re ashamed. We feel vulnerable to say that, and so we just keep it to ourselves until it\u2019s collapsed around us. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI\u2019m imagining there are some listeners, who are going, \u201cWhere do I find those two sermons that you preached on anxiety?\u201d and they\u2019re in the Show Notes at FamilyLifeToday.com if you want to go there and click on and listen. There are probably folks who say, \u201cI need to hear those messages today.\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI\u2019m interested in one of the encumbrances you talk about in the book\u2014the hindrance of religion. That kind of caused some people to scratch their head and go, \u201cWhat\u2019s he talking about that religion can be a hindrance to persevering?\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Kyle:<\/strong> Yes; you know, Jesus oftentimes talked about religion as a weight. In fact, He said, in Matthew 23, to the religious leaders\u2014His accusation to them is: \u201cYou\u2019re loading them up with weight, and you\u2019re not doing anything to help them carry it.\u201d I know that people who, oftentimes, come to church have felt the fatigue and the frustration of religion\u2014of thinking that they have to earn God\u2019s favor; that if they just tried harder to be better, then that would be enough. That\u2019s an exhausting way to live. Instead of strengthening your faith, it robs you of faith.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> Another aspect you talk about, Kyle\u2014which I love\u2014is unhindered or getting free of lies. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIt\u2019s interesting, Bob\u2014you probably don\u2019t know this, but I\u2019m a marathon runner. Did you know that?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>So you need to get rid of that lie. [Laughter]\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> Yes; what are you talking about?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> He likes to tell this story.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> No; I ran in the Detroit marathon three years ago.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Did you?!\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> Yes; I ran the Detroit marathon [pause] <em>relay<\/em>. [Laughter] I just keep the \u201crelay\u201d like I\u2019m coughing; but no, I was part of a five-man team.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> I thought it was going to be maybe a 25-man team. [Laughter]\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> No; it\u2019s actually an unbelievable thing the runners in our church do\u2014they run for clean water in Africa. Each runner tries to raise $1,000. We\u2019ve raised $4.1 million over several years. I jumped in and said, \u201cI have a really bad left knee, and so I can\u2019t run a marathon; but I can run a relay.\u201d I had to run the finishing leg\u20147.1 miles. It is funny\u2014as I broke the tape, I sort of acted like I had just finished 26.2, you know? \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tEverything you\u2019re saying is so true. I\u2019m not a runner; but you know\u2014in that short little training and, then, that day to run\u2014which was so exciting to run for something of purpose, which was really cool. I was teared-up at the end\u2014not because I was dying\u2014but because it meant something. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tEverything you\u2019re talking about\u2014I experienced, in a small way, as a runner. First thing is I started throwing off everything I was wearing\u2014I had a sweatshirt on\u2014trying to get lighter and lighter. I\u2019m only running seven miles; but it\u2019s getting hard, and there\u2019s ascension up hills. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThe thing that kept me from not quitting in the last mile was I could see the finish line\u2014and that was exciting\u2014but was a couple of friends, who I asked to get on bikes and pedal beside me. They had already run; they were runners\u2014and Ann was one of them. They just kept whispering, \u201cKeep going man\u201d; because I was about to just walk it in. My goal was: \u201cDon\u2019t walk one step; run the whole thing.\u201d Those people\u2014what you were just saying, Kyle, speaking truth into me\u2014my lie was: \u201cI can\u2019t finish. I\u2019m just going to walk it in. That\u2019s okay. Nobody\u2019s going to say you shouldn\u2019t,\u201d\u2014but having Rob there and Ann there, saying: \u201cKeep going. Keep going. You can do this,\u201d\u2014was a weight of the lie. I was telling myself a lie, but they were speaking truth that changed everything. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tTalk about that, because that\u2019s a big one for people believing lies. One of them is just: \u201cI don\u2019t have what it takes to finish.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Kyle:<\/strong> You know, they talk about the lies we believe are usually rooted in what\u2019s called the \u201cearly and often factors\u201d\u2014that things that we are told, at a young age, and repeated to us, frequently, have a way of setting in\u2014kind of a neural pathway gets established\u2014and those are the things we believe to be true about ourselves. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThis is why you can talk to someone, who is an incredibly successful CEO, and operates out of insecurity and feelings of failure. If you talk to people like that, you will find, oftentimes, that when they were young, they had the opposite of what you just expressed. They were running a race; and a parent, or a teacher, or a sibling came alongside of them and said: \u201cYou can\u2019t do this,\u201d \u201cYou don\u2019t have what it takes,\u201d \u201cYou\u2019re <em>never<\/em> going to measure up,\u201d \u201cWhy are you even trying? Every time you try, it fails.\u201d You know, they\u2019ve got those voices rooted and established in their head. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tBeing able to show that to people\/being able to say: \u201cLook, here\u2019s what you are believing\u2026It\u2019s not true. The truth is\u2014you might not be able to have what it takes, but God\u2019s strength is made perfect in your weakness,\u201d \u201cThe truth is that all things work together for good,\u201d\u2014\u201cthat God can redeem anything you\u2019ve gone through,\u201d\u2014\u201cthat it\u2019s not beyond His power to heal or to repair.\u201d Helping people identify some things that they\u2019ve heard, early and often, and then replace that with what God has said to be true. What will happen is\u2014if they don\u2019t do that, they\u2019ll end up saying those things to the next generation.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> And again, you\u2019re not talking about positive thinking; you\u2019re talking about believing.

He talks about the power of a mantra. The idea is that\u2014if there is an athlete, who has missed some free throws at the end of a game\u2014and after that, really struggles with his free throw shooting\u2014he needs a mantra. He needs something that, when he steps into that moment, where he feels insecure, that he\u2019s going to tell himself. My friend, who\u2019s a sports psychologist, said the mantra has to be true; you can\u2019t just make up something.
