#TeamProgressPic

We’re not advocating for an end to self-motivation. To the contrary, your physical fitness and spiritual maturity are squarely your responsibility. But, how many selfies do you really need? In the light of righteousness our pursuit of perfection can be — well, pathetically pretentious.

This isn’t a call for group-think or woke attitudes either. A team progress pic is so much more than a side by side comparison of you with your friends. We’re talking about showing evidence of divine evolution where God’s very nature is intricately at work in our transformation.

Quit imagining how teamwork and cooperation could look. Instead, as we sweat and pray together, we’ll see that the before and after don’t look anything alike and nothing like we could have envisioned. Get ready to be the progress built on God’s set of metrics.
