About this episode
Choose to Climb | CLIMB Series — Week 1
“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”
— Galatians 6:9 (NIV)
Have you ever hit a point where things got hard and you wondered, “Did I miss something?”
In this opening message of the CLIMB series, Pastor CJ Witkoe reminds us that difficulty doesn’t mean failure — it often means progress.
Using the picture of mountain climbing, this message reframes weariness not as a warning sign, but as evidence that you’re on the ascent. The steep part of the climb doesn’t mean you’re lost. It means you’re getting closer.
In this message, you’ll discover:
⛰️ Why doing good will make you tired — and why that’s normal
💪 The difference between getting weary and giving up
🎒 How unexamined habits and systems can sabotage the climb
🤝 Why community, spiritual disciplines, and margin aren’t optional — they’re essential gear
🔥 How choosing the right preparation keeps you climbing when things get hard
The truth is, most people don’t quit because they don’t love Jesus.
They quit because they’re climbing with the wrong gear.
This message is an invitation — not to avoid the climb, but to choose it, prepare for it, and keep going together.
📖 Scripture: Galatians 6:9
