Brick by Brick: Staying the Course

Brick by brick. That’s our theme for 2026, and in this episode Daniel Parks and Brian Ottinger talk about what it really means to live with slow and steady faithfulness when ministry, leadership, and life get messy.

The conversation turns to the temptation to chase the flashy things, the danger of self promotion, and the quiet work God uses to build something lasting.

Daniel shares how Love Life seeks the Lord for an annual theme and why “brick by brick” is a rallying cry for doing the right things consistently, whether you feel like it or not. Brian then walks through key verses from Nehemiah that show how God rebuilds through ordinary people working together, staying alert under pressure, and refusing to come down from the wall.

This is an encouragement for anyone who feels stuck in monotony, discouraged by slow progress, or tempted to quit. Keep showing up. Keep praying. Keep building. God is writing glory stories through faithful steps.
