#123 | Big Breakthroughs Are Built on Boring Obedience

Episode Summary

Everyone wants transformation, but few want repetition. Mikel shows how consistency—not intensity—produces spiritual and practical breakthroughs.

Episode Notes

Transformation rarely happens in moments of hype—it happens through the slow burn of steady, repetitive obedience. In this episode, Mikel explains why the “boring” habits of prayer, Scripture, stewardship, and consistency often lead to the biggest breakthroughs. He shares how the gym taught him that variation doesn’t build strength—repetition does. Drawing from David’s shepherding season and the principles of The Slight Edge, he illustrates the compounding power of small, daily acts of faithfulness. This episode calls listeners to return to the small habit they’ve been avoiding and recommit to it with fresh zeal.

Episode Transcription

Mikel teaches that big breakthroughs are rooted in boring obedience. Everyone wants the excitement of transformation, but very few want the repetition required to sustain growth. Just like in the gym, strength is built through consistent reps, not constant variation. David learned courage in obscurity, not in a palace. Small, daily habits compound into major outcomes. Choose one small act of faithfulness and recommit to it today.
