In this episode, TJ unpacks “The Difficulty Cycle.” As a society, we often chase the easy route, avoiding discomfort because difficulty introduces pressure. But what if difficulty isn’t the enemy?

TJ walks through four points that help us embrace and grow through hard seasons:
1. Difficulty isn’t always bad
2. It illuminates priorities
3. It demands creativity
4. It builds confidence

If you're in a season of difficulty, take a moment, listen in, and be reminded that God often uses pressure to shape us. 👏🏼👏🏼

Pastors and Ministry Leaders — this podcast was created with you in mind. 👏🏼

In ministry, there are seasons when staff or members leave — not always due to fault or failure, but simply because it wasn’t the right fit. These moments can be painful. It's important to allow the loss to matter, to grieve, and to grow from it. And yet, we’re still called to keep showing up — to lead and love those who didn’t leave.

If you’re navigating the departure of someone from your team or congregation, tune in as TJ offers a biblical perspective on how to process it with wisdom, grace, and love.

When we measure ourselves against others, it often leads to one of two outcomes—insecurity or pride.

In this episode, TJ discusses how comparison, if left unchecked, can spread from our heads to our hearts. Comparison is a silent killer. It will prevent you from celebrating others, building community, and ultimately destroy you. Don’t let it!

Learn from those around you.
