In part two of this series, the focus is on living "above the bar" by embodying key qualities the world values, such as Creative Problem-Solving (If at First You Don’t Succeed, Try Again), Resilience and Adaptability (Bend but Do Not Break), and Self-Discipline and Hard Work (Rome Wasn’t Built in a Day). These traits are validated by social science research and are also deeply rooted in Scripture. As Christians, living above this standard not only improves personal growth but can also serve as a powerful witness to those watching. By persevering through challenges and demonstrating Christ-like character, believers can impact the world around them and draw others to Christ.

  2. How does your response to adversity reflect your faith in Christ, especially to those who are watching?
  3. What steps can you take to cultivate greater self-discipline and perseverance in your daily walk?
  4. How can living above the bar serve as a testimony to those who are curious or skeptical about your faith?
