Summary

Why do you keep starting things you don’t finish?

In this episode, Pastor TJ Tyus dives deep into The Law of Sustainment — a principle that reveals why we struggle to remain consistent. It’s not just about discipline. It’s about identity.

If your self-image doesn’t align with your goals, your efforts will always collapse. Pastor TJ shows how aligning your inner beliefs with your divine calling is the key to sustaining lasting change. He also shares vulnerable moments from his own life — from dealing with road rage to raising his kids — showing how becoming must happen in the dark before you can shine in the light.

Takeaways:

You can’t build what you haven’t become
Your fruit is suffocating under unhealed roots
Becoming like Christ starts with unlearning the lies
Until you align with God’s image of you, you’ll fall short of your calling
