#60 Running To Save My Life with Aaron Burros

In this episode, we talk to Aaron Burros. He is describes himself as a “running servant”who shows up, paces for others and pursues his passion. Aaron lives in the United States. Aaron tells us about sitting on an 8 year long comma that started with finding a way to lose weight and regain his health. What started as an experiment with running and testing his limits, turned into the very thing that saved his life - at least twice! Aaron describes how his running practice and a command from his higher power literally saved him from death at the hands of a gun holder. His renewed sense of purpose led him on a quest that continues to this day. Tune in to hear what Aaron means when he says, “I watched so much get taken away”. You can find Aaron on:   Instagram:  @therunningservant Facebook: @ aaron.burros Linkedin:  @ Aaron Burros X:  @runningservant Strava:  https://x.com/runningservant?s=09Aaron would like to acknowledge the following individuals, organizations and/or causes that matter to him and invite you to consider supporting them and/or sharing their messages:Jetola Blair  Read about her in this Houston Defender article The Elders at Friendship Community Baptist Church https://www.friendshipcbc.com  Official church services began in 1981 at a home located on Cullen Boulevard, near Almeda-Genoa Road in Southeast Houston.
