Bill Maher: “I’m not a Christian, but they are systematically killing Christians in Nigeria. They’ve killed over 100,000. They've burned 18,000 churches. They are literally attempting to wipe out the Christian population of an entire country. Where are the kids protesting this?”
Instead of asking, “Why is this happening to me?”
What if you asked, “God, what do you want me to learn through this?”
I’ve had seasons that felt like dead ends.
Some humbled me.
Some hurt.
But looking back, I see God shaping me through every twist. How about you? Where has life shifted in ways you didn’t expect, and what is He teaching you through it?

Kurt Warner shares the lesson that changed his entire career and it applies to everything.
He sat on the bench for 4 years in college. When a friend asked the coaches why he wasn't playing, the answer wasn't what he expected:
"The reason I wasn't playing was because I was not very good in practice."
His first reaction? Allen Iverson mode.
"Practice? What're you talking about, practice?"
But then he did the math.
"In college we play 12 games in 365 days. In the NFL we play 16 games in 365 days."
That's less than 5% of your year.
"95% of our lives are lived in practice. And the biggest impression we make on people, the way people can understand and really realize who we are, is what we do every day in practice."
This is the 95% Rule. And it applies to everything - sports, business, relationships, life.
1: Show Up With Your Best Effort - Compete and give your best every single day. People can't question how you show up - your effort, attitude, and actions. Consistency removes doubt.
2: Trust Is Built In Practice, Not Games - Trust is earned in the thousands of moments before it's given. Before you can be trusted, people want to know you're dependable. Every day. Not just when it matters.
3: Master Daily Consistency - Success isn't about intensity - it's about consistency. Your habits compound. What you do daily defines who you become.
4: Big Moments Are Earned In Small Moments - The little details make the biggest difference. Greatness starts with preparation - it's earned in the boredom of doing the work when no one's watching.
Excellence isn't an event - It's a habit.
Practice is where trust is built.
How you show up daily is who you really are.

“Christ is real and this is the reason why I’m here right now”- @diegopavia02
Diego Pavia had questions about the way things were in his life. Then, 2 JuCo teammates led him to Christ. On his hands & knees he cried out in prayer, & God began to move in his life. Now, his friendship with Eli Stowers has reinforced his spiritual relationship. Without that Diego acknowledges he wouldn’t be where he is today.

The way we see ourselves can change the world
When you start to see yourself the way God does, you begin to see others differently too.
Recognize the worth in you and everyone around you!
