Spiritual momentum isn’t speed—it’s consistency. In this episode, Mikel calls you to embrace the long, steady walk of faithfulness over the hype of instant results.
Faithfulness isn’t something you can microwave—it’s built slowly, through consistency, integrity, and excellence in the unseen moments. In this episode, Mikel challenges the myth that spiritual momentum equals speed, urging listeners to value the “long obedience in the same direction.” Drawing from Galatians 6:9, Eugene Peterson, and John Maxwell, he unpacks why small daily disciplines compound into great achievements over time. Whether you’re in a highlight season or a mundane stretch, this is a reminder that God doesn’t reward hype—He rewards faithfulness.

Faithfulness is not a sprint—it’s a long, consistent walk. In this episode, Mikel dismantles the idea that spiritual momentum equals speed, reminding us that true faithfulness is built in the mundane and the unseen. He shares from his own struggles with wanting affirmation, and how God used those seasons to build resilience and a dependence on His approval alone. Drawing from Eugene Peterson’s “long obedience in the same direction” and John Maxwell’s wisdom on small daily disciplines, Mikel urges us not to measure success by short-term metrics, but by lifelong integrity. Galatians 6:9 promises that if we don’t grow weary in doing good, the harvest will come—so keep watering the fruit of faithfulness.
