by Church @ 434 | Jan 25, 2026 | The Grind and the Glory
We are called to grind. As we do we find that most of what we do goes unnoticed and even unappreciated. We grind because it is the call of Jesus. Today, we are reminded that what feels lost to the world may be sacred to God. Every big God-sized future is built on small, faithful decisions no one celebrates.

Preemptive Strike continues this week. We are discovering the power of our choices, in particular our pre-choices! Loyalty isn’t forged in the moment; it’s a decision made long before. In this study, we’ll explore the power of being steadfast and loyal to God, to others, and to the values we hold dear. If we would learn to do this preemptive strike – our lives would be radically better, different, and we would find great joy in the adventure.

Preemptive Strike is the name of this new series here at The Church @ 434. It is designed to help each of us explore the power of making intentional pre-choices that shape our lives. We’ll discover how committing to key principles in advance gives us the strength to face life’s challenges and uncertainties. By pre-deciding our values, we become proactive in our faith journey, living with purpose and resilience. The opening message sets the stage for understanding why making pre-choices matters.
