In this episode of The Good Fight Friday, Dan reflects on a powerful quote from Hal Moore, popularized in We Were Soldiers:“Three strikes and you’re not out.”When life feels like a series of swings and misses—at home, at work, or in your own head—the question becomes:What’s one more thing you can do?The answer might not be what you think.What You’ll Hear- Why failure often feels final—but isn’t- How a hard week can distort your perspective- The powerful shift from self-reliance to surrender- Why approaching God isn’t a last resort—but the first move- What it means to “do one more thing” when you’ve got nothing leftHebrews 4:16 - “Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.”Key Takeaway: When you feel like you’ve struck out—there’s still one more move:Approach the throne of grace with boldness.Challenge: Before you try to fix, solve, or grind your way through—pause.Take your “one more step” this way:Go to God first. Boldly. Honestly. Fully.Stay the course, keep the faith, and fight the good fight. This is a public episode.
