In this episode, Mike poses a question to the listeners,”What Are You Willing to Sacrifice? Many times, we want the blessings from God but are not willing to sacrifice for it.

Every man wants greatness, but not every man is willing to sacrifice for it. The question isn’t ‘What do you want?’ but instead the real question is ‘What are you willing to give up to become who God called you to be?’”

Challenge of the Week: Identify: 1. What is God asking you to give up?, 2. What is holding you back from spiritual maturity? 3. What is costing you your peace?
