As a mom of children with some special needs, Melissa Jarvis has learned to redefine success.

And sometimes that's really hard because I want it to be perfect. I want them to be great

students and go to college and make money so they can honor God. And I just pray that I let

that go and that's an area that I'm surrendering is the

outcome of what success could be for them. This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast with Nancy

DeMoss Walgamu, author of Surrender, The Heart God Controls for Wednesday, May 17th, 2017.

This week we've been hearing from Dan Jarvis.

He's on staff with Life Action Ministries, the parent organization to revive our hearts.

And he's also a pastor in our area.

This week, we're listening to a message that he preached recently on faith frontiers. So far, we've heard three challenges that can keep us

from moving forward in faith. Those were risk, we think the journey's too risky, and resources,

we don't think we have the resources we need to step out in faith and then relocation.

Sometimes acting in faith requires us to make a move. Well, today we'll hear the next challenge.

And then Dan and his wife, Melissa, will join us and tell us what walking in faith has looked like

for their family.

The fourth challenge, and one that I think every one of us probably has struggled with

the time or two whenever we're trying to do anything of importance, is the challenge of

resolve.

And that is that when, like, you could walk out of here and you could be really excited about living by faith, right?

You say, wow, I'm ready.

I want to say yes to God and I want to go do the right thing.

And so you charge out of here and you're excited.
