Let’s kick up some dust: Faith Walkers vs. Trash Talkers. It’s a tale as old as time, and I’m sure you’ve met both kinds of people on your journey. So, let’s break it down and see how we can all strive to be faith walkers in a world filled with trash talkers. And just know, we’ve all talked some trash in our past. So, after reading this you need to self-identify to see where you need to be.

**Faith Walkers**

First up, the Faith Walkers. These are the folks who live by their beliefs and let their actions do the talking. They’re the ones who, despite the odds, keep pushing forward, believing that something greater is guiding them. Faith walkers don’t just talk about their dreams and goals—they actively pursue them with determination and trust.

Think about it. When was the last time you saw someone face a challenge head-on without complaining? It’s inspiring, isn’t it? Faith walkers have this incredible ability to turn setbacks into setups for a comeback. They might stumble, but they never fall because they’ve got their faith to lean on. They have that palm tree faith, bending but not breaking. It’s like they have an internal GPS that keeps recalculating their route, no matter how many wrong turns they take.

**Trash Talkers**

Now, let’s talk about the Trash Talkers. You know the type. They’re quick to point out why something won’t work, why someone isn’t good enough, or why a plan is destined to fail. They’re full of negativity and always seem to have something discouraging to say. They are simply annoying.

Trash talkers are often the loudest in the room, but their noise is just a cover for their insecurities and lack of action. They prefer to tear others down rather than build themselves up. It’s easier to criticize than to take risks and put yourself out there, and trash talkers have perfected this art.

**Choosing Your Path**

So, which path will you choose? Being a faith walker is not always easy, but it’s incredibly rewarding. It means committing to your goals, embracing challenges, and trusting that there’s a purpose behind every twist and turn. It means rising above the negativity and focusing on the positive.

Here’s the thing: we all have moments where we might slip into trash talking—about ourselves, our situations, or even others. The key is to recognize it and make a conscious effort to shift our mindset. PATTERN BREAK! Instead of saying, “I can’t,” try saying, “I will find a way.” Instead of criticizing someone else’s journey, offer support and encouragement.

**Walking by Faith, Not by Sight**

For us Christians, walking by faith and not by sight is a cornerstone of our belief. It’s about trusting in the unseen and believing that God has a plan, even when we can’t see it. It’s about knowing that every step we take in faith brings us closer to our purpose.

But even if you’re not religious, the principle still applies. Having faith in something greater than yourself—whether it’s a higher power, the universe, or simply the goodness in people—can transform your outlook on life. It gives you the strength to keep moving forward, no matter what obstacles come your way.

**Be a Light**

In a world full of trash talkers, be a light. Be the person who lifts others up, who walks by faith, and who inspires those around you with your actions. Let your life be a testament to the power of belief, perseverance, and positivity.

Remember, it’s not about being perfect. It’s about being persistent. It’s about choosing to be a faith walker every single day, even when it’s tough. Because at the end of the day, faith walkers are the ones who change the world.

So, let’s lace up our shoes, step out in faith, and leave the trash talking behind. Together, we can create a community of encouragement, support, and unwavering belief in the good things to come.

Keep walking in faith, my friends!
