    <description>Let's face it...life sometimes is hard and can just suck. When we are faced with life's challenges we can be discouraged, get tired, and become weary. What we need is motivation, encouragement, and a helping hand that keeps us going. That's the idea of GRINDIT! We find our strength to endure when we focus on Jesus. God's own Son wasn't exempt from life's challenges and He didn't do anything to deserve what he went through! And yet He did...willingly, therefore we find our hope in Him.

  <description>We dive into the Book of Ephesians starting out this podcast with an introduction to the book. Paul is the author and, more than likely, this was written from prison in Rome along with three other letters. Going through the introduction we learn Paul gives the church at Ephesus an identity and purpose. It's great for today's culture, especially here in America that seems to be confused when it comes to identity and purpose. Paul makes it clear that our true identity is found in Christ and our purpose is given through him as well. Are you confused with your identity? Do you know your purpose?
