Ep. 145 | Interested or Committed

Everyone wants a better life. A stronger marriage. A thriving business. Better health. A deeper faith. More purpose. More impact. But wanting something and being committed to it are two very different things. In this episode of the 2717 Podcast, Barry and Wade unpack one of the most important distinctions in life: the difference between being interested and being committed. Through biblical wisdom, real-life examples, and practical leadership principles, they challenge listeners to stop making excuses and start living with intentional commitment. In this conversation, you'll learn: • The difference between interest and commitment • Why commitment is measured by action, not intention • How daily habits shape your future • The role sacrifice plays in growth and success • Why keeping promises to yourself builds confidence • How commitment creates momentum in your faith, family, and business • The importance of leading by example • Why lasting success requires consistency over time Whether you're building a business, raising a family, strengthening your marriage, or pursuing God's calling on your life, this episode will encourage you to stop putting your toe in the water and go all in. As Wade shares, commitment isn't doing something when it's convenient. Commitment is doing it when it's difficult, uncomfortable, and requires sacrifice. That's where growth happens. If you've been feeling stuck, discouraged, or tempted to give up, this conversation is a reminder that the greatest rewards in life often belong to those who stay committed long after the excitement wears off.
