Über diesen Titel

 In this raw and humorous year-end reflection, Brian and Kersha Owen hit pause on the holiday chaos to ask the question most people avoid: Are you part of the 2% who finish well, or the 98% who just finish? What begins as a slightly rushed Christmas Eve recording quickly becomes a rallying cry for intentionality, self-reflection, and choosing to stand out rather than blend in.Between stories of parking in "the back 40" at Target, too much complimentary ice cream on vacation, and a hilarious on-the-fly moment where Brian admits Kersha's brain "doesn't process like his," this episode delivers both the wisdom and the authenticity Crazy Unbelievable Faith is known for. Brian and Kersha unpack the power of daily habits, the danger of self-judgment, and why most people wait until January 1st to start what they could begin today. They challenge listeners to pick 1-3 areas for growth, stop analyzing themselves to a tee, and remember that growth happens daily—but not in a day.With Paul's words from 2 Timothy echoing through the conversation—"I have fought the good fight"—Brian and Kersha remind us that as long as there's air in our lungs, we should be growing, stretching, and refusing to coast through life. This isn't just about New Year's resolutions; it's about becoming the black sheep who stands out for God's kingdom rather than the white sheep who blends into mediocrity.🔥 What You'll LearnThe 2% vs. 98% Principle: Why only 2% of people truly finish well, and how you can join them by being intentional about your year-end reflection and New Year planning.Black Sheep or White Sheep?
