They begin with enthusiasm, but somewhere along the way the wind goes out of their sails. Life gets hard. Critics get loud. Giants get big. Faith feels small. But then there are those rare people who simply do not quit. They aren\u2019t louder. They aren\u2019t necessarily more talented. They just keep going when others stop.<\/p>\n<p>Caleb is one of those people. At 85 years old, he stands before Joshua and says: \u201cNow therefore, give me this mountain\u2026\u201d (Joshua 14:12)<br \/>\nNot \u201cgive me a rocking chair.\u201d Not \u201cgive me retirement.\u201d Not \u201cgive me comfort.\u201d But \u201cgive me the mountain with the giants still on it.\u201d<br \/>\nCaleb shows us what it means to press on when others want to sit down. \u00a0Caleb presents four characteristics of a person who presses on.
