Running Our Race
Inspired by Hebrews 12:1. Praying it encourages all who come across a video to persevere or join the race strong! God loves you!
More Than Conquerors
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. Romans 8:37 reminds us that our victory doesn't come from our own strength, we are more than conquerors through Christ who loves us. But being victorious doesn't mean running without discipline, direction, or perseverance.
Through 1 Corinthians 9:24–27 and 2 Timothy 2:5, we look at the life of faith through the picture of an athlete: running to obtain the prize, practicing self-control, staying disciplined, and competing according to the ru...
Thinking Like a Winner
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 16:26, Philippians 3:8, and 1 Peter 3:1, we explore a different kind of victory. Paul was willing to count everything else as...
The Fear of Losing
What if the fear of losing is keeping you from running the race God has called you to?
In this episode of Running Our Race, we examine how fear, regret, and the pursuit of temporary success can distract us from living with eternal purpose. Through Jeremiah 8:6, we see the danger of rushing through life without stopping to examine our hearts, while Ecclesiastes 9:11 reminds us that success isn't determined by our strength, speed, or abilities. Instead, our lives are ultimately in God's hands.
We'll also reflect on Psalm 19:5, which paints the picture of an...
Getcha head in the game (or race)
What are we truly called to do as followers of Christ?
In this episode of Running Our Race, we dive into the mission Jesus has entrusted to every believer: making disciples and sharing the gospel. Inspired by a conversation with a friend and a moment of reflection while driving, we ask an important question: We're constantly building and expanding the world around us, but how often are we investing in God's Kingdom?
Through Matthew 28:19–20, Mark 16:15, Romans 10:14, 1 Peter 3:15–17, and 2 Timothy 4, we explore what it means to live with purpose, be ready to share the hope...
Pace
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.
Through 1 Corinthians 15:10, Psalm 139:14, Romans 8:37, and 2 Corinthians 12:9, we discover that our strength doesn't come from striving but from God's grace. He has uniquely created each of us with purpose, equips us in our weaknesses, and empowers us to overcome every challenge through Christ. Whether you're feeling behind, overwhelmed...
Timing - Trusting God
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. Through Ecclesiastes 3, we're reminded that God has appointed a season for everything and invites us to find joy and purpose in the season we're in. We also look at Ecclesiastes 11:9–10, 2 Corinthians 7:1, and 2 Timothy 2:22, discovering that waiting isn't passive, it's a time to pursue holiness, flee youthful passions, and grow into the person God is preparing us to be.
Whether you're waiting for an...
Hurdles
Hurdles are inevitable, but how we see them changes everything. In this episode of Running Our Race, we explore how the obstacles in our lives can either become barriers that hold us back or opportunities that strengthen our faith. Through passages like Exodus 14:14, Deuteronomy 31:8, Isaiah 40:31, and Psalm 18:29, we discover that God doesn't always remove every hurdle, He equips us to overcome them.
As we continue running the race set before us, we'll reflect on what it means to trust God's strength instead of our own, seek Him first in every struggle, and allow our view...
Returning to the 1st love
Have you ever found yourself going through the motions in your walk with God? In this episode of Running Our Race, we dive into Revelation 2:2–5, focusing on Jesus' powerful words in Revelation 2:4: "You have left your first love." Together, we'll talk about what it means to return to the joy, passion, and intimacy we once had with Christ. This episode is an invitation to reflect, repent, and rekindle your relationship with Him, remembering that it's never too late to return to your first love and continue running the race with renewed purpose.
