When dreaming up concepts for a new custom-made project,

a congregation member at Living Word recently had an idea that was beyond his current skill set. Rather than shaking it off as impossible,

he thought to himself, “I don’t know if I am good enough to do it, so I might as well try and find out.” A few days later,

the finished product not only impressed himself, but also his friends.

Just as Erik sharpened his ability and broadened his experience through heading into unknown territory, we too can learn as we go.

We don’t need to fully understand how to do something before we jump into it. Growth happens as we step into the unknown.

My word for you today is: persistence. I’m Mac Hammond, and this is the Winner’s Minute.
