In this dynamic episode of Tethered Thoughts, we dive deep into 1 Corinthians 9:24 and Paul’s powerful challenge to “run in such a way as to win the prize.” Drawing from the sports-obsessed culture of ancient Corinth — home to the prestigious Isthmian Games — we explore how spiritual discipline, focus, and an eternal mindset shape a life of real impact and fulfillment.
Discover why the Christian walk is less about passive belief and more about purposeful, daily training for an eternal reward. We’ll also highlight the inspiring story of Olympic champion and missionary Eric Liddell, who famously prioritized faith over fame, embodying what it means to run for a higher purpose.
Whether you feel stuck at the starting line, facing unexpected hurdles, or sprinting forward with passion, this episode will inspire you to lace up your spiritual running shoes and pursue your calling with unstoppable devotion. Get ready to trade quick wins for lasting crowns, cultivate resilience, and finish strong — all for the glory of God.
