In this episode of The Lost Sheep Podcast, we unpack Winston Churchill’s powerful quote: “Success is not final, failure is not fatal; it is the courage to continue that counts.” Through the lens of faith, we explore what it truly means to strive with perseverance, especially when success feels fleeting and failure looms large. We break down the difference between excellence and perfection, challenge common definitions of success, and discuss how both triumph and trial are never the end of the story. This week’s Shepherd of the Week is none other than Lionel Messi, whose journey from crushing setbacks to historic victories mirrors the spiritual walk of persistence and humility. And don’t miss our Practical Prayer Practice, where we guide you through the timeless discipline of the Examination of Conscience.
