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.

Most Christians are content just wearing their team colors and cheering from the sidelines. God did not call and equip you to be a casual fan; he called you to be in the game.

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.
