Ep. 20 - DANGERS of Borrowed Faith: Run Your Own Spiritual Race to Avoid DISASTER

In this important message, Michael delivers a critical warning about the spiritual peril of emulating the faith or spiritual sacrifices of others, just as the Bible tells us to do (Hebrews 13:7, 1 Cor 4:16), but without first being certain you are in possession of the grace from heaven to sustain it. Drawing from the intense endurance of ultra-marathon runners and a cautionary biblical tale, he warns against the dangers of comparing yourself to others, or attempting to "run beyond your spiritual stamina" or skill level, suggesting it is the same as "riding over your head" in motocross—it practically guarantees disaster, injury, and emotional defeat. Ultimately, this message encourages you to find true contentment with the gifts and pace God has assigned to your individual heavenly race, reminding us that the gift we give is acceptable according to what we have, not what we don't have.
