The fallacy of gaining salvation by human effort remains as strong as ever. People still think good intentions are the key that unlocks the door to eternal life. By the time they get to try the lock, they will find that their key does not fit. Others imagine that their efforts are building an invisible ladder to heaven made-up of service, family, position, reputation, good work, and desire. But none of these rungs will support a feather. People are so busy trying to reach God that they completely miss the truth that God has already reached down to them. We cannot earn God's mercy, if we could, it would not be mercy.

THIS IS WORTH WATCHING OR LISTENING TO

Why do we so often wait for the crisis before we make the changes we already knew we needed to make?

We postpone the prayer until the panic. The discipline until the diagnosis. The difficult conversation until the relationship is fractured. Then the storm comes—and suddenly we discover whether we built anything strong enough to carry the weight.

In this episode of All Things Faith Walk, I sit down with author Garvin Antoine to discuss the powerful message behind his book, Build Before the Storm. We talk about what it means to stop living one crisis behind your life and begin developing a life of readiness.

This isn’t about living in fear or expecting the worst. It’s about stewarding the calm—recognizing that peaceful seasons are not wasted seasons. They are opportunities to pray, prepare, grow, strengthen relationships, develop discipline, and build the spiritual and practical foundations we will need when life gets difficult.

The best time to build is not when the storm arrives. It’s while the sun is still shining.

What are you building today that will sustain you tomorrow?

Genuine growth means shedding the old self. Scripture calls us to 'mortify the deeds of the flesh'—to decisively cut away what holds us back. Embrace your new identity in Christ, a child of God in right relationship with Him. You are His, and He is your good shepherd. If you're ready to step into that truth, share this message with someone who needs to hear it today!

These cards are great for personal use, therapeutic/counseling sessions, icebreakers, retreats, friends, family, etc. They also make excellent gifts. I also have a retreat that's structured around these cards; a time that's spent solely on developing and caring for you, your inner you. You're worth it! You deserve it!
