    086: Training for Eternity

    In this episode, I break down 1 Timothy 4:7-8 and what it means to train yourself for godliness.As someone who loves endurance training and pushing the body, this verse is a humbling reminder: physical training has value - but spiritual training has value in every way. It prepares us not just for this life, but for eternity.I talk about what it actually looks like to train our souls the same way we train our bodies through spiritual disciplines like time in the Word, prayer, obedience, and community. I also discuss why our motives matter - godliness must flow from love for God, not performance or appearances.If you’re someone who values discipline, training, and growth - this conversation will challenge you to think about what you’re training for, and why it matters for eternity.Scripture:1 Timothy 4:7–8Matthew 13 (Wheat and Tares)Matthew 7:13–14 (The Narrow Gate)--Thanks for tuning in!

    085: Becoming the Person You Strive to Be

    Becoming the person you want to be isn’t about adding more discipline, motivation, or effort - it’s about letting go. In this episode, I explore the idea that who you’re striving to become isn’t far away, but is often stuck behind the version of yourself you’re unwilling to release.Drawing from John chapter 3, I unpack what it truly means to be “born again” in Christ - not as surface level belief, but as a complete renewal of identity. Accepting Christ is easy; living for Him is costly. It requires surrendering habits, tendencies, and comforts that no longer align with who God is calling us to be.Through personal reflection, faith, and parallels from endurance training, this episode challenges you to ask honest questions about what you’re holding onto, why growth feels hard, and what might be on the other side of surrender. The life you want may be closer than you think - it’s waiting on what you’re willing to let go of.

This isn’t theory - it’s what I’ve learned through experience, mistakes, and consistent work.

    054: The Stoney 100

    We’re still trying to find the words for what happened this weekend… but honestly, there may never be enough.What started as a vision - something God placed on our hearts - became a reality that surpassed anything we could’ve dreamed. The Stoney 100 was more than just a run. It was a divine moment. A holy gathering. A collision of endurance, faith, purpose, and community.From the very beginning, it felt different. There was a sacred energy in the air. People came not just to move their bodies, but to move with intention - for mental health, for each other, for something bigger.We witnessed countless runners break through physical and mental barriers. People smashed personal records. Volunteers stayed up 24+ hours. And in the midst of it all, four of us - including Ed and myself - completed 100 miles around a track. One hundred miles. Not for medals. Not for clout. But to shine a light on the importance of mental health and to raise money for two incredible organizations: Charleston Hope and Quest.There were tears. There were prayers. There were quiet moments in the dark. We saw people pacing strangers at 3 a.m., handing out water, encouraging each other lap after lap. We saw community in its purest, most powerful form. It genuinely felt like a glimpse of heaven on earth.And through it all, one thing was clear: when you follow a God-given vision, and when people rally around purpose - miracles unfold.To everyone who donated, volunteered, ran, supported, prayed, or simply showed up: you were part of something unforgettable. We’ll carry this with us forever.This was the Stoney 100. And this is just the beginning.
