\"Jim<\/a><\/p>\n

While playing for the Minnesota Vikings, defensive end Jim Marshall did something embarrassing.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a game against the 49ers, he recovered a fumble and ran it 66 yards — the wrong way — into his own end zone.<\/p>\n

Because he thought he’d scored a touchdown for his team, he threw the ball away in celebration, only to have it go out of bounds, giving a safety for the other team.<\/p>\n

Despite this error, Minnesota went on to win the game 27\u201322, with the victory provided by a touchdown return of a fumble caused by Marshall.<\/p>\n

I am sure there are a lot of people who know Marshall’s pain.<\/p>\n

And I am sure there are a lot of people who, upon failing so miserably, left the arena. They allowed their failure to be fatal.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sometimes Christians can feel this way. We see our own failings as tragic, and retire from serving God.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

They believe a lie that they are useless in the Kingdom.<\/p>\n

This podcast speaks about this and gives insight into why failures don’t have to be fatal.<\/strong><\/p>\n
