Compromise may feel small in the moment, but it always comes with a high price. In this episode, Mikel calls us to choose faithfulness over shortcuts.
Most failures don’t come from one big mistake—they come from thousands of small compromises stacked over time. In this episode, Mikel shares why the cost of compromise is never worth paying. Drawing from Luke 16:10, Jim Collins, and personal stories of leaders who fell after eroding their integrity, he reminds us that greatness is built through conscious choice and discipline. Whether it’s avoiding hard conversations, cutting corners, or telling “little white lies,” every compromise erodes trust. This is your challenge to pause, confront the truth, and choose faithfulness in the small things—because compromise always costs more than you think.

Compromise always costs more than it seems. Mikel reminds us that most failures aren’t from one big mistake, but from thousands of small ones stacked over time. From cutting corners to avoiding hard conversations, these little compromises erode trust and character until they explode. Jim Collins said greatness is a matter of conscious choice and discipline, and Luke 16:10 reminds us that whoever is faithful in little can also be trusted with much. The question is: what small compromise are you tolerating? Choose faithfulness instead—because the cost of compromise is always too high.
