A short YouTube excerpt by Holly Furtick (uploaded April 5, 2023) arguing that spiritual strength requires intentional effort, using the everyday analogy of physical weightlifting. Holly contrasts common acceptance of physical training with excuses Christians use about lack of spiritual strength, urging listeners to choose to do the work required to grow spiritually.

Chapters

Everybody knows if you want to have muscles, you have to lift. If you want to look like Steven Furtick, you have to lift weights, right? And so that's common. And we all know that that's a lot of work. And I think we all make a choice, like, do I want to do the work that it takes to have physical strength? Well, I don't know. Maybe I'm married to a man who has physical strength, so I'm not so concerned about putting all my time and effort into that. But then I think a lot of times in the Christian life, we're like, well, I'm just not, I'm just not strong and I just don't have the strength that you have. I could never go through what you've been through. I would never survive that. Well, yes, you would. But you have to put in the work to get strong. And so.
