Introduction. In this brief series, we noted that Christians often face spiritual challenges that are long and persistent: slow exposure to temptations and shifting cultural norms, growing weary in doing what is right, and/or taking God’s blessings for granted. In part 2, we observed both negative and positive examples of how people in the Bible responded to such sustained spiritual challenges. In this final part of our study, we will look at how we can better persist in the face of the spiritually prolonged.
