What Does It Mean to Run with Endurance? | The Well Podcast S1E22

In this episode of The Well, Pastor Phil and Pastor Chad are joined by Bart Cox, the Senior Executive Pastor at Abundant Life. Pastor Phil and Bart just got back from a hiking trip in the backcountry of Glacier National Park, and they’ve got lots of stories to share! Bart shares a story about the biking accident that led to his joining the Abundant Life staff and the history of his friendship with Pastor Phil. He now applies the skills he learned in a secular work environment to execute the big visions of Abundant Life. He is also Pastor Phil’s personal trainer. Pastor Phil shares how training for backcountry hikes keeps him physically, mentally, and spiritually strong. He and Bart trained for this hike for months, and they’ve seen physical growth as they built muscle and endurance. The training allowed them to hike with endurance, just like spiritual training—reading the Bible, praying, and living in community—allows us to run the faith race with endurance. No one gets anywhere God wants them to go alone. You need a community to run the race with you. In the Christian life, it’s not about who finishes first; it’s just about finishing the race strong. Don’t focus on the pain; focus on the prize. Don’t forget to SUBSCRIBE to get more videos like this to grow your faith!
