You're listening to episode 121 of the God Center Mom Podcast with me, Heather McFadden,

and today I'm chatting with Nikki Koziars about questions you should ask yourself before

you quit.

And you know Heather, really the concept from the book came from a statistic that I heard

from Amy Stanley once.

He says that 90% of people who feel called to do something like whether it's to take

a neighbor a meal or to go on a mission trip or to write a book or a teach a Bible

study, 90% of people who feel called to do something for God never see it all the way

through to completion.

And when I heard that, I was like, well what would happen if only 85% of us gave up?

Like I think about just about 5% more.

You know, I think we would have a whole lot less orphans.

I think we would have a whole lot more stories of people being the hands and feet of

Jesus Christ in this generation.

I don't know where you fall on this line of someone who tends to quit things frequently

or someone who pushes through with all your might and all your effort.

I didn't really think that I was the quitter type until Nikki's book, Five Habits of

A Woman Who Doesn't Quit, arrived on my doorstep.

And I share a little bit more of that story in this episode.

But as you're listening, I really want you to think about not just what do we stick with

and what do we quit because I think there is a value to quitting some things that are

not for us.
