Growth Is Exponential: Part Three — Faith Is a Behavior
Introduction
Welcome to the final installment of our Growth Is Exponential trilogy in the Becoming Maverick journey.
In Part One, we explored foundational principles that drive exponential growth.
In Part Two, we examined Word Power and how language shapes identity and destiny.
Now we arrive at the activating force behind it all:
Not vague belief.
Not blind optimism.
But conviction with substance — expressed through behavior.
A Prayer for Conviction and Growth
“Father God, I embrace Your promise in Epistle to the Romans 8:28. Guide me in every circumstance. Transform challenges into growth, setbacks into stepping stones, and obstacles into resilience. Reveal the lessons hidden in every experience. Ignite within me deep faith, gratitude, and courage as I walk toward exponential growth. In Jesus’ name, amen.”
This prayer is not ritual — it is alignment.
Exponential growth requires more than intention.
It requires confident action rooted in trust.
Faith Is Conviction with Substance
Faith is often misunderstood as blind belief.
Biblical faith is not irrational.
Faith is being fully convinced there is substance behind what you hope for.
When you walk, you do so confidently, knowing the ground will support you. Why? Because there is evidence. You have walked before. You have seen others walk. You have experienced the reliability of solid ground.
Even when you step into a new place, you do not question gravity.
You cannot see gravity — but you trust it.
You cannot see oxygen — but you breathe it.
There are realities that exist whether or not we see them.
The writer of Epistle to the Hebrews explains it clearly:
“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”
Notice the language:
Faith without substance is myth.
Faith without evidence is imagination.
Faith is confidence grounded in credible reality — even when full visibility is absent.
It is not denial of uncertainty.
It is trust based on credible proof — both lived and observed.
Faith Behaves
Because faith has substance, it moves.
If you truly believe the ground will hold you, you walk.
If you truly believe growth is possible, you train.
If you truly believe purpose matters, you prepare.
Faith is not passive.
Faith behaves.
It shows up when:
-
You choose discipline over comfort
-
You respond to adversity with trust
-
You act before results are visible
-
You persist when outcomes are delayed
Faith is belief expressed through consistent action.
The Compound Effect of Faith
Exponential growth compounds over time.
So does faithful behavior.
Small, consistent actions rooted in conviction create disproportionate long-term outcomes.
Showing up daily.
Practicing gratitude in uncertainty.
Building skill before recognition.
Giving before abundance.
These are acts of faith.
And like compound interest, faith-driven behavior multiplies.
Becoming Maverick: Living Convinced
To Become Maverick is to live fully convinced.
Convinced that:
-
Growth is possible
-
Purpose is real
-
Adversity can refine
-
Discipline compounds
Faith does not eliminate challenge.
It reframes it.
When belief aligns with behavior, exponential growth stops being theoretical and becomes inevitable.
Conclusion: Walk Like It Will Hold
As we conclude this trilogy, remember this:
You already practice faith every day.
You sit in chairs trusting they will hold you.
You breathe air you cannot see.
You walk on ground supported by forces invisible to the eye.
Faith is not foreign to you.
It is already embedded in how you live.
The question is:
Will you apply that same confidence to your growth?
May we:
-
Think expansively
-
Speak intentionally
-
Act with conviction
When faith becomes behavior, growth becomes exponential.
Thank you for walking this Becoming Maverick journey.
Walk boldly.
Live convinced.
Grow exponentially.
