    <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>Why do people feel as if nothing bad should come there way? It is said that we are either about to go through a storm, we are going through a storm, or the storm has passed. It's a nonending cycle that we cannot control and these storms come because of various reasons. We have to be careful of not blaming God or geting mad at Him when they come. We must accept the fact that storms will come and when they do, we have to draw closer to God...not run away. In today's podcast, we look deeper into Jesus beiung led into the wilderness to be tempted right after the mountain top experience of his baptism.

  <description>The author has laid the foundation that Jesus is better and that he is our High Priest and he tells his readers it is time to get off the milk and move on to the meat, the solid foods. Then he gives them a stern warning about turning away from God. These Jewish Christians were being persecuted to some degree and their faith was fading, they were going back to Judaism and the author warns them if they do this, if they leave Jesus, there is no coming back to repentance. He then gives an example of some fields who received rain. All the fields received the rain but only some of the fields produced crops and received God’s blessings. The ones that that received the rain and didn’t produce crops became overwhelmed with thorns and thistles and had to be burned by the farmer because it was useless. Are we USEFUL or USELESS?
