How Do You Know When It's Time to Quit? | E04
Show notes
“Winners never quit, and quitters never win.”
We've all heard it. But is it actually true?
Sometimes perseverance is exactly what we need. Other times, refusing to quit can keep us trapped in something we're no longer called to do.
In this episode of RAC Taught Me, Coach RAC explores one of life's toughest questions: How do you know when it's time to keep pushing, and when it's time to walk away?
Drawing from his own baseball journey, personal experiences, and Scripture, RAC discusses the danger of tying our identity to our accomplishments, the difference between adversity and a genuine reason to change direction, and why quitting isn't always failure.
The goal isn't to become someone who never quits. It's to be faithful wherever God has placed you.
