| | | Dear Friends, Not only is the Christian life a journey, according to Hebrews 12:1 it is also likened to a race! God calls us to have the mindset of an athlete as we live out our Christianity. Keeping our eyes on the finish line is key to enduring hardships and difficulties that come.
The Commands of Christ podcast recently released an episode with special guest and Journey to the Heart alumnus Arlen Glick. Arlen came to Big Sandy this summer to help lead a Young Men's Journey to the Heart and prior to the start of the Journey he recorded this interview. Arlen Glick is a professional ultra marathon runner who has won multiple 100-mile foot races.

We invite you to listen to this powerful testimony and as Arlen draws correlations between distance running and living the Christian life be encouraged in running the race set before you looking to Jesus! Be sure to watch to the end of the episode to hear Arlen share about a race he ran this year that far exceeded 100 miles in distance, had intense elevation gain and was a very challenging course. |
