God’s Standard Is Perfection... Why You Keep Falling Short

Why do you keep starting things you don’t finish? In this episode, Pastor TJ Tyus dives deep into The Law of Sustainment — a principle that reveals why we struggle to remain consistent. It’s not just about discipline. It’s about identity. If your self-image doesn’t align with your goals, your efforts will always collapse. Pastor TJ shows how aligning your inner beliefs with your divine calling is the key to sustaining lasting change. He also shares vulnerable moments from his own life — from dealing with road rage to raising his kids — showing how becoming must happen in the dark before you can shine in the light. Takeaways: You can’t build what you haven’t become Your fruit is suffocating under unhealed roots Becoming like Christ starts with unlearning the lies Until you align with God’s image of you, you’ll fall short of your calling 🎧 Subscribe and share this episode with someone who needs to stop talking and start becoming. 🔗 Listen to past episodes 💒 Learn more or support the mission: https://apocministry.org

You’ve been praying. You’ve been showing up. You’ve been making moves... but nothing’s changing. In this week’s episode, Eric Thomas drops a masterclass that will challenge everything you thought you understood about progress, blessings, and breakthrough. The truth is—God can’t bless what you won’t finish. Most of us start strong but never complete the assignment. And then we wonder why the favor isn’t falling. Dr. Thomas goes deep on: Why starting isn’t the same as being obedient How unfinished business is blocking your blessing The role of accountability in transformation What God’s real standard is—and why "average" is not in His vocabulary How Genesis reveals the system for lasting impact: Start. Complete. Rest. This isn’t just a sermon—it’s a wake-up call.

Through the powerful reminder from Genesis, Pastor Eric reveals that God doesn’t just start things — He finishes them perfectly — and calls us to do the same.

And you’re wondering why life still feels so heavy—even when you’re doing “all the right things.” In this message, Pastor Eric Thomas challenges you to stop just coming to church and start using what God gave you.

In this powerful episode, Dr. Eric Thomas breaks down the difference between being connected and being covered. Using the story of Samson and Delilah, ET reveals what happens when we fall in love with people who don’t protect our purpose—and how operating in transactional relationships leaves us vulnerable, distracted, and off our divine assignment. You’ll also learn how agape love—like the kind Jonathan had for David and Ruth had for Naomi—can transform your life when you're truly under the right covering. If you've been doing life alone, loving without being loved back, or showing up for others who wouldn't do the same for you… this is your wake-up call. It’s time to stop being exposed. It’s time to get covered. 👉 Subscribe to our YouTube channel: youtube.com/@ApocMinistry 📲 Follow us on Instagram: @apocministry_

You’re showing up. You’re doing your best. But something still feels off... You’re not broken. You’re not forgotten. You’re just out of alignment. In this soul-stirring message, Dr. Eric Thomas unpacks the spiritual consequences of being disconnected—from your purpose, your people, and your covering.

In this powerful, transparent, and Spirit-led message, Candis Quinney shares her personal journey of learning the difference between doing “good things” and doing God’s will — God’s way. You’ll laugh, reflect, and be challenged as she uses real-life stories — from a midnight run-in in Detroit to corporate burnout and spiritual resistance — to reveal how misalignment can show up even when you think you’re doing the right thing. Inside the message: A lock and key demonstration that visually shows what happens when we try to unlock God’s will with the wrong alignment. The story of February 1st — the night God gave her a literal warning after she broke alignment with her fiancé's (now husband’s) wise counsel. How being CJ Quinney’s wife taught her the value of covering, submission, and walking in borrowed authority. The moment God asked her: “That celebration you planned… is that what will really make him happy?” A powerful two-day sabbatical that shifted everything — when she stopped striving and learned to press in. She weaves these with scriptures like Isaiah 53 and Galatians 5, teaching that lasting refreshment doesn’t come from rest alone — it comes from realignment. 🙏🏽 4 Steps to Realignment Be Honest – Admit where you're off-track Accept Covering – Don’t reject the people God sent to protect you Submit – Even Jesus submitted to John Press – You can be near God and still not get the breakthrough until you reach intentionally 📲 Let this be your moment to get back in alignment. Your peace, clarity, and purpose are waiting on the other side. 📌 Subscribe: @ApocMinistry 📱 Follow us on Instagram: @apocministry_ 🎧 Listen to the podcast: APOC on Apple Podcasts
