1 Timothy 4:8 (New Living Translation)
“Physical training is good, but training for godliness is much better, promising benefits in this life and in the life to come.”

Endurance is your weekly Spiritual Workout: "It's taking the Bible; unpacking it; understanding what God wants to do in our lives", Steven.

As Christians, we all want to become more like Jesus. Each episode of Endurance will be based around a topic, include some scripture, have a brief teaching slot and leave us all with three challenges - #GoDo - which we can do through the coming week.

We'll broadcast episodes, weekly - on Sunday afternoons on our website, YouTube, Instagram TV (IGTV) and Facebook.

Here is thought for today: Owning a Bible and reading it but never applying it to life is a bit like owning a Harley Davidson and never taking it out the garage!

DAY 13 - Pastor Zhang Rongliang

Today, we revisit Pastor Zhang and how he learned what it means to truly be a shepherd in China's underground house church.

Don't try to make the Old Testament PG.
It's brutal for a reason.

DAY 11 - Brother "O"

"Day after day I sat in my cell. I read how Paul and Peter endured through severe circumstances. I felt like I was reading the Bible for the first time because I was reading it with the eyes of experience."

China is persecuting the church and building the biggest roadways in history.
Anything about that sentence remind you of the spread of the Gospel under the Roman Empire?

⚠️ DAY 8! (one of my favourite days)

Before he died, he looked at me and said, “Remember this with all your might: continue to preach the Good News of Jesus Christ whether the time is right or not.”

We are talking to a distributor that would like to share Chasing Revival on TV networks in other nations. They want to cut a LOT of material.
In one episode for instance, I talk about the problem with homosexuality in Rome before revival.
They want to remove it. Completely.
At one point I said that Hudson Taylor was "freaking awesome." They want to edit it to sound more Christian and only say "awesome."
What I said in response to their idea of editing was not very Christian.

Not an easy Valentines Day.
I say good bye to my wife today for TWO MONTHS!
Our apartment has been sold, so she flies back to China today to sell all our stuff.
It will be a very very long two months.

⚠️ DAY 3!

We look at Esther - one of the few people in the world to have been arrested in both North Korea and China and lived to tell about it.
