Weakness Can Be Turned Into Strength

ANECDOTE

Bench Press Failure Became A Spiritual Metaphor

  • Steven recounts failing a bench press unexpectedly and texting his ex-physical therapist friend Chunks.
  • Chunks diagnoses it as a lack of stability, not strength, which reframes his physical setback into a stability issue.
ADVICE

Stabilize Injured Areas To Release Strength

  • Do stabilize the areas of your life that are injured so latent strength can be released.
  • Furtick uses the gym's unstable stability ball as an analogy: God creates instability to build internal stabilizing muscles.
