We’ll be morally perfect on the New Earth, but that doesn’t mean we’ll be capable of doing anything and everything. Adam and Eve were morally perfect, but that didn’t mean they could automatically invent nuclear submarines or defy gravity. They were perfect yet finite, just as we will be.

Hay pocos temas tan relevantes para nuestras vidas personales y para nuestras comunidades como el aborto. Este tema divide a las personas, no solo en la calle y en el lugar de trabajo, sino también en los hogares y en las iglesias.

In this clip from the Building Excellence podcast with Bailey Miles, Randy says excellence begins with faithfulness. We won’t always be the best at what we do, but we can always be as faithful to the Lord as it is within our power to be.

In this clip from the Building Excellence podcast with Bailey Miles, Randy uses Andrew Pate, the tennis coach at Sam Barlow High School, as an example of what a good coach should be. He highlights that a good coach doesn’t hesitate to say what a player is doing wrong, but always commends them for what they’re doing well, and never raises their voice in anger.

In this clip from the Building Excellence podcast with Bailey Miles, Randy answers questions about what humility means, his favorite vacation spot, what love means, and his favorite books.

In this clip from the Building Excellence podcast with Bailey Miles, Randy says the best way to be a good husband and father is to put Jesus first, and your walk with Jesus will spill over into other areas of your life. He also mentions the importance of focusing first on the quantity of time spent together, and then on making that time quality.
