Holy Grit: Resilient Joy & Radical Obedience
Holy grit isn’t about following Jesus through willpower. It’s a joy-fueled resilience and an obedience that is its own reward.Paul wrote to a church he deeply loved, a community pressed by persecution yet resisting with the power of joy. In this series, we’re asking God to shape us into that same real, gritty expression of His kingdom.
We’ll learn that the way of Jesus isn’t through trying harder. It’s moving into a deeper joy that produces lasting grit. A faithfulness that endures because Christ is our joy. Not grit alone, but a holy grit that perseveres through the joy that comes from Christ.
