Give me your best.
Do it blindfolded – do things by faith, not natural sight.
Jeering from the crowd – you can’t always rely on others.
Constant encouragement from the coach – JESUS!
Coach: “Don’t quit until you have nothing left!” – Hebrews 12:1-4
Brock: “it hurts, it’s heavy” – life isn’t easy nor convenient.
Coach: “It’s all heart from here” – We’re back to doing things by vision, not the flesh.
Coach: “if you walk around defeated, so will they.”
