Common Obstacles To Growing
SOMETHINGS MISSING
You work hard and try harder. But what is the point? Something is missing but you don't know what it is.
Faith and leadership can feel this way. But you’re not meant to do this alone.
There is grace for the journey, strength for each step, and people ready to walk beside you.
You’re not lost—you’re just on your way.
STUCK
You may feel like your faith is stalled—your marriage, family, future, or even your leadership feels uncertain. But this isn’t the end of your story.
Struggles don’t mean you’re alone. In fact, God is right there in the middle of it with you—stronger than your fear, closer than your doubt.
You're not stuck… you're being strengthened.
Hope is rising. You’re not alone.
PROBLEMS
Time. Responsibilities. Weakness. Culture. Finances. Expectations. Life. Faith. Church.
It may feel like everything is pressing in—but you're not crushed. You're not defeated, and you will not lose. God is for you, and His strength is in you.
Victory is still your story.
