How To Fight Discouragement with Rick Warren

saddleback.com/... - It’s always easier to start something than it is to finish it - college courses, construction projects, and even fitness goals. Just like a marathon, as time goes on it becomes harder to cross the finish line because of setbacks that often leave us feeling defeated. Did you know that setbacks are actually part of the character-building process designed by God? In this message, Pastor Rick Warren discusses the causes of discouragement that lead to fatigue, frustration, fear, and a sense of failure. Find out what to do when you’re ready to give up, starting with reorganizing your life, refocusing on God, and resisting discouragement.

This man is such a good preacher! Not too over the top, not too boring! He's just right! Meaningful messages full of substance that are applicable to real life situations. I wish he was still a pastor there.

[@TheKCI]

This man is God-sent. He so intelligent and anointed. I will like everybody to offer prayer for him. May he live long to dispense all this power that is in him. I regret not finding long since. I can't stop listening to him.

[@mfriverao]

I haven't found any other person who contains the amount of wisdom that Pastor Rick Warren has! It seems this man memorized Proverbs and God has given him the talent to guide us in how to live in this world. Pastor, God bless you! I've learned so much from you!

[@OHIhardboss]

Very True Fernanda, Pastor Rick is greatly Blessed by the LORD He can connect to believers in a seemingly different intimate level. I am always listening to His online sermons which thru JESUS GOD`s word Saved & is Transforming us Believers. I started to get to know about Him from His 40 Purpose Driven Life book+

My unfinished business it’s about accepting having lost mst f my eyesight 22 months ago. I am not angry, I am not bitter, but I ám frustrated, sad, exhausted and afraid. But this week God opened the door to a rehabilitation treatment that will help me adjust my life with this new impairment. And although it is hard right now, I know that God will use it for HIS glory. And that is really all that matters.
