Let's be honest, leveling up is never easy. Beginning a work out routine, eating better, praying more, or even changing the way you relate to others rarely feels good at the beginning. Many of us feel ashamed we got to the place in life we did to begin with. Living in survival mode may have kept you going for awhile, but you know deep down when it's time to level up in an area of your life. If we're not moving forward, we're moving backward. In this episode, Josh and Christi talk about the power of leveling up. Here are some highlights:* Leveling up requires a change in 3 areas: pace, place, and pressure.* Leveling up requires deep, consistent prayers when we don't feel like it.* Leveling up is worth it because of what we get to experience on the other side.Show Notes:PRE-ORDER WHAT DO I DO WITH WORRY?
