Cord of Three

Welcome to the Cord of Three Podcast! Lisa and I are back for a new season after navigating life over the last five months. Speaking of new seasons...we are smack dab in the middle of one. It has felt like the dead of summer with heat beating you down, and at the same time, the dead of winter where you are cold to the bone without a fire. Now we are in spring, and it's a new day. To be honest... to sum it up... it's been HARD. But hard is good... because nothing grows in comfort.

On this episode of the podcast, Lisa and I talk about the Two Types of Pain: The Pain of Disappointment and The Pain of Discipline. Temporary discomfort from discipline is much lighter than the lasting pain of not reaching your potential due to lack of discipline.Hebrews 12:11 says, "No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been TRAINED by it.""We must all suffer from one of two pains: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. The difference is discipline weighs ounces while regret weighs tons." --Jim RohnPursue Discomfort.Embrace the Suck.Do Hard Things.Contact us at spencer@thecordofthree.com or on Instagram at @cord_of_3
