Summary
Following Jesus isn’t easy, the climb is real, but it’s worth it because the victory is already won in Christ. The mystery we’ve been searching for isn’t success or status; it’s Christ in you, the hope of glory. And when He lives in you, you don’t just endure the journey, you help others grow, knowing one day it will all be worth it.
Expect the sufferings of Christ in you
Experience the mystery of Christ in you
Extend the maturity of Christ through you
Life Group Discussion:

What fears or excuses keep you from sharing Jesus more openly?

| 0:00.0 | My wife and I, we've been married for almost eight years now. We've got three kids. Our first is almost five years old now. |
| 0:06.9 | And about five years ago, right before we were going to give birth, we decided to go on a baby moon because we're like, we got to travel before we can never travel ever again. |
| 0:16.8 | So we looked all over the country, trying to figure out where we had hotel points, what would work, and we landed on Scottsdale, Arizona. We had never been there before and thought that would be a great place to go. So we asked everyone we knew who had been there before, hey, what do you do while you're in Scottsdale? And it felt like every single person said the same thing. They just said, you got to hike Camelback Mountain. That's like the one |
| 0:38.6 | thing you gotta do while you're there. Now I made a mistake because the amount I heard you got to |
| 0:47.7 | hike Camelback Mountain and by the types of people even that told me about it, I thought it was |
| 0:53.1 | going to be easy. Like these people, |
| 0:55.2 | they weren't like REI hiking aficionados. They're just like normal people. They're like, |
| 0:58.6 | yeah, you got to go do it. So I'm like, let's go do it. And then we start doing it. And I'm like, |
| 1:02.6 | this is the hardest thing I've ever done. I told someone this week that we did this for |

| 1:11.3 | hike up a mountain. And I said, yes, but here's the issue. She wasn't the problem. I was. She was |
| 1:19.4 | like 15 yards ahead of me the entire time because I don't know what do you think of a hike. |
| 1:24.6 | My ideal hike is like slightly uphill and just do that for a little bit and turn around. |
| 1:29.3 | There are times I'm on my hands and knees, like rock climbing. |
| 1:33.4 | It was not at all what I expected. |
| 1:35.9 | And so nearly the whole time I'm like, Hadilly, can we please turn around? |
| 1:39.4 | Please turn around. |
| 1:40.5 | And she just said no. |
| 1:42.2 | And I was not going to come back to waco saying my pregnant |
| 1:46.0 | wife finished it and i did not so eventually i did power through we did make it to the top |
