What would happen if we cried out to God now, instead of waiting until we had nowhere else to turn?

In this episode of Running Our Race, we talk about what it means to truly call out to God, to seek Him with urgency, desperation, faith, and expectation.

Are you in shape for the race or are you still allowing God to shape you?

In this episode of Running Our Race, we look at what it means to remain moldable in the hands of the Potter. Jeremiah 18 gives us the picture of clay that becomes marred while being shaped, yet the potter doesn't immediately throw it away. Instead, he forms it again according to what seems best to him. In the same way, there may be areas of our lives that don'...

Sometimes in the middle of the race, we need to stop and remember who we are and who we are not.

In this episode of Running Our Race, we're doing a brake check: slowing down long enough to examine our identity, our hearts, and the direction we're headed.

Have you ever considered how much your environment is affecting your walk with God?

In this episode of Running Our Race, we talk about the importance of recognizing the environments we place ourselves in, and what those environments are producing in us.

What if truly living requires something in us to die first?

In this episode of Running Our Race, we explore the biblical call to die to ourselves so that Christ can fully live through us. Galatians 2:20 reminds us that following Jesus is more than adding Him to our lives, it is surrendering our old life and allowing Him to become the center of a new one.

What happens to our race when our faith begins to waver?

In this episode of Running Our Race, I reflect on my own journey with faith going back eight years to a moment when I dropped "FAITH,” and looking at how seasons of doubt have affected the way I run my race.

What does it mean to be more than a conqueror?

In this episode of Running Our Race, we explore what biblical victory really looks like.

But being victorious doesn't mean running without discipline, direction, or perseverance.

What does it actually mean to win?

In this episode of Running Our Race, we challenge the world's definition of winning and look at what it means to think like a winner from a biblical perspective. The world tells us that winning means gaining more: more success, recognition, possessions, and accomplishments. But Jesus asks a much deeper question: What does it profit us to gain the whole world if we lose our soul?

Through Matthew 2...

In this episode of Running Our Race, we explore the importance of trusting God's pace for our lives instead of comparing our journey to someone else's. The Christian life isn't about rushing to the finish line, it's about faithfully walking in God's grace one step at a time.

Waiting can be one of the hardest parts of our walk with Christ. In this episode of Running Our Race, we explore what it means to trust God's timing instead of our own.
