When dreaming up concepts for a new custom-made 
project,

2
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:20,200
a congregation member at Living Word recently 
had an idea that was beyond his current skill 
set. Rather than shaking it off as impossible,

3
00:00:20,300 --> 00:00:27,400
he thought to himself, “I don’t know if I 
am good enough to do it, so I might as well 
try and find out.” A few days later,

4
00:00:27,500 --> 00:00:31,700
the finished product not only impressed himself, 
but also his friends.

5
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:41,300
Just as Erik sharpened his ability and broadened 
his experience through heading into unknown 
territory, we too can learn as we go.

6
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:49,600
We don’t need to fully understand how to 
do something before we jump into it. Growth 
happens as we step into the unknown.

00:00:49,700 --> 00:00:55,100
My word for you today is: persistence. I’m 
Mac Hammond, and this is the Winner’s Minute.
