In this deeply moving episode, Amos and Heather sit down with Benson Langat—a former elite runner from Kenya, now a sought-after coach, mentor, and founder of Bensane Run Coaching & Sports Consulting.
Together, they explore the tension between performance and purpose, the gift of slowing down, and the powerful role faith plays in Benson’s coaching philosophy. From his early days of chasing medals to learning how to lead from a place of rest, Benson shares stories that speak to the heart of endurance—on and off the track.
Listeners will walk away with insight on:
• Building mental toughness through spiritual grounding
• The role of gratitude in peak performance
• Why Psalm 23 anchors Benson’s life and leadership
• What it really means to be fortified as a man of faith
Plus, you’ll get a preview of Benson’s upcoming appearance as a featured speaker at the I AM Fortified Sons & Moms Conference this June.
This episode is for anyone who feels like they’re racing through life—and needs permission to pause, breathe, and run at the pace of grace.
