Listen "Justin Grifford - The Power of Starting Poorly"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Bleeding Daylight, Rodney Olsen speaks with Justin Grifford, pastor, author and advocate for embracing imperfect beginnings. Justin shares how a devastating combination of COVID, flu, and injuries derailed his carefully planned goals for the year, leading him to a profound realization that became the foundation for his book "Start Poorly." Through personal experience and biblical insight, he challenges the perfectionism that often paralyses progress in our instant-gratification culture.
Justin unpacks the five phases every goal passes through—dream, plan, start, grind, and finish—offering practical wisdom for navigating each stage. With refreshing honesty about his own stumbles and setbacks, he explains how small, achievable steps and grace-driven effort can transform our approach to spiritual growth, habit formation, and goal achievement. His message resonates across all areas of life: excellent doesn't require a perfect start.
