This book explores Godly grit elements, what prevents it from growing, and what can be done to replenish a lost supply. This book is not for someone satisfied with complacency. This book is for someone who sincerely desires to be a disciple of Jesus and reach a hurting world.

As listed in Ephesians 6, God's armor is the faith-sustaining qualities and characteristics essential for building resilience and Godly grit.

God has called us to Himself. He has given us all a purpose and a voice. Sadly, most Christians have never found their God-given voice. The enemy has effectively used multiple strongholds to frustrate their growth, kill their purpose, and silence their voice. A stronghold is a perceived offense that causes us to become self-focused. They are beliefs that weaken or destroy grit. I have divided the various strongholds into the categories of existential strongholds, environmental strongholds, and personal strongholds to aid in understanding.

Or when was the last time a well-meaning, but an uncaring friend told you, “if it doesn’t kill you, it will only make you stronger?” But what about those times when it felt like the stress might kill you? Stress can and will hurt you in many ways. It can hurt you physically. Stress can lead to increased rates of heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and cancer. Stress can hurt you emotionally.
