Welcome to another transformative episode of Divine Potential. In this episode I am joined by an extraordinary guest, Pierce Showe. Pierce shares his inspiring journey of discovering his divine potential through ultra-endurance sports, faith, and personal growth. From battling back pain and separation from his crew during the grueling Ultraman race to emphasizing the power of surrender and prayer, Pierce's experiences are a testament to resilience and faith. He speaks candidly about the practical steps he's taken to resist temptation, the crucial role of community and mentorship, and his belief in the rejuvenating power of scripture.
Pierce also delves into his transition from hesitant high school athlete to the youngest individual to complete the Triple Crown of 200-mile races, underscoring the importance of investing in oneself and the support of a solid team. Alongside discussions on race strategies, gear, and the psychological impact of ultrarunning, we explore the spiritual undertones of Pierce's journey. His narrative is punctuated with moments of divine intervention and profound personal growth.
