Faithformed (formerly The Pursuit Podcast): A Podcast About Faith, Leadership, and Life in a Noisy Culture
Faithformed is where faith meets real life.
We live in a loud culture that is constantly trying to shape who you are. Faithformed, hosted by pastor and communicator Justin D. Belt, is the counter-narrative. This podcast creates a space for everyday believers and emerging leaders to pause the noise and pursue spiritual depth, emotional strength, and cultural clarity.
If you have ever felt behind the pace of your purpose, or wrestled with the tension between your calling and your current reality, this is your home. We move beyond surface-level conversations to explore how God builds the person before He builds the platform.
Each week, we dive into:
- Spiritual Formation: Moving from behavior modification to heart transformation.
- Leadership: Leading with integrity in a world that values hype.
- Calling & Purpose: Navigating the "waiting rooms" of life.
- Culture: Engaging the world without losing your soul.
Join us as we explore the intersection of faith, identity, and inner healing. If you want a faith that forms your life—not the other way around—welcome to Faithformed.

10. How to Start Strong and Actually Finish Well
Starting is easy. Finishing well is holy.
In this episode of The Pursuit Podcast, Justin Belt delivers a hard-hitting message on endurance, purpose, and faithfulness. Drawing from 2 Timothy 4:7, Galatians 6:9, Hebrews 12:2, and Hebrews 10:36, Justin challenges the “starter’s high” culture that celebrates momentum but neglects perseverance.
This conversation will help you rebuild your focus, regain your grit, and rediscover the sacred power of staying the course when excitement fades. You’ll learn:
- Why finishing faithful > starting fast
- The difference between energy and endurance
- How comparison, distraction, and comfort derail your calling
- Three biblical practices that help you finish strong and well
If you’ve ever burned out, slowed down, or felt like quitting, this episode will breathe hope back into your walk with God. You’ll be reminded that you don’t need to be perfect; you just need to keep going.
Because the Kingdom isn’t built by sprinters. It’s built by the faithful who finish.
