Overcoming Your Failures

Overcoming Your Failures

Learning from Failure

Failure is inevitable. But it’s never the end of your story. With God, we can use disappointments as a springboard to transformation and renewal.

This week on Relentless Hope, Jon Erwin, filmmaker of “I Can Only Imagine” and "Jesus Revolution," teaches us how to succeed by learning how to fail well. Let’s get inspired by his testimony.


Words of Hope:

“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.”?

― Winston Churchill


LIFE

In part 1 of Relentless Hope, Jon Erwin shares his journey in the film industry and how he learned that failure is sometimes the best thing for us. After experiencing disappointment in producing one of his movies, he faced a difficult season. However, once he looked deep within, he made changes that eventually led him to the success of “I Can Only Imagine” and the launch of Kingdom Story Company. His willingness to look introspectively taught him how to be an effective leader and inspire others.


LEADERSHIP

In part 2 of Relentless Hope, Jon Erwin emphasizes the importance of valuing and empowering one’s team, stating that individuals can inspire, but teams change the world. He believes leadership is the art of pulling out others’ greatness—greatness they may not see in themselves. Jon strives to be a servant leader, like Jesus, and live by God’s principles to achieve success.


LEGACY

In part 1 of this 3-part series on Relentless Hope, Jon Erwin teaches that legacy is about sharing your story and testimony. His film company aims to relate emotionally to his audience and showcase the transformative power of Jesus. He encourages us to remember God’s unconditional love and infinite forgiveness, regardless of who we are or what we’ve done. God can change the situation, redeem it, heal it, and transform us.


Scripture to reflect on:?

“Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings: because we know that suffering produces perseverance;”

– Romans 5:3


Closing prayer for Jon’s story:

Dear God, I know it’s time to face my failures so that I may learn, grow, and evolve from them. Still, I fear I’m not living up to Your expectations. I want to be the person You know I can be. Please help me release my fears about failure, insecurities, and doubts. And please fill me with confidence, trust, and security. Thank You, Lord. In Jesus’s Name, amen.
