Bear market faith—the mark of an excellent Christ-follower

Anyone can feel strong in a season of abundance. When life is smooth and doors swing open, faith comes easy.

But what about when headwinds come? 🌬️ 

In investing, almost anyone can thrive in a bull market. But when things turn bearish—when fear spreads and uncertainty crashes in—that’s when great investors are made.

It’s the same in our walk with Christ. When circumstances turn against us, prayers seem unanswered, the pressure is hot—that’s where real faith can be forged.

It’s through the hard seasons that excellent Christ-followers emerge.

Don’t just aim to survive the tough times. Lean in. Become more. Elevate. The Kingdom isn’t just for the good days—it’s for every day.

In Christ, you’re always more than enough.

Say it: Father, I yield to Your refining work. In every down time, You are shaping my faith and fortifying my spirit. Holy Spirit, help me trust the process, lean into your intelligence, and emerge stronger for King Jesus. Amen.

Best this week!
Brian
