We are not merely a Sunday meeting or an organization, but a community of people formed in and by Christ. We think of ourselves as a family on mission together.

The Christian life is not a casual stroll — it is a race that requires endurance, discipline, and focus on Christ. In this episode, we explore what it means to run with purpose, stay spiritually disciplined, and finish well. Drawing from Paul's words and the encouragement of Scripture, we are reminded that the goal is not just to start strong but to finish faithfully. God has set a race before each of us. The question is: Are we running to win?

Some of us in our life have stopped running. We have stopped racing. We have stopped striving for the very best for us and our relationship with God. Get up on your feet and start fighting again. Don't settle for second best but start striving to win in everything you do! God bless your race!!

How do we run the race?

Message by Jeff James

Lean On Me: Why Even the Pros Need Accountability | H.A.B.I.T.S. (Week 2) Description: "I run with purpose in every step." — 1 Corinthians 9:26 Welcome to Week 2 of our series, H.A.B.I.T.S. This week we dive into the power of Accountability. We often think of accountability as a "policing" tool, but the Bible shows us it's actually a "healing" tool. In this message, we explore: How NFL stars use the YouVersion Bible App (along with its 1 billion+ global users) to stay disciplined. Why "sharing our burdens" is the only way to build a foundation that lasts (1 Corinthians 3:11-15). Practical ways to start a "Plan with Friends" and use the "Talk It Over" feature to grow together.

A new year brings excitement and new beginnings, but it can also bring the temptation to add more to what is already heavy. Before picking up anything new in 2026, we lay down some old things from 2025. Hebrews 12 reminds us that before we fix our eyes on Jesus, there are things that must be laid aside. You cannot run the race God has for you while carrying what slows you down. We are told to lay aside every hindrance and the sin that entangles us. A believer cannot run freely when wrapped up in sin, shame, or old ways of thinking. Conviction is a gift from God, given because He loves us. Strength comes from fixing our eyes on Jesus, who gives the power to overcome and not pick it back up. Satan accuses and reminds us of failure, but Jesus is our advocate who has already paid the penalty. Lay down what is behind, fix your eyes on Jesus, and run the race God has set before you. Check out our video version of this episode: https://youtu.be/1hx1KuABdb8Subscribe to our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/8wmeCwBf_zkLearn more about us at chestnutmountain.orgFollow us on Facebook & Instagram @chestnutmtn_Don't forget to subscribe to this podcast, leave a review, and let us know what you think.

2026 can be a year defined by the kingdom of God, His presence in our lives, and by being engaged in a community pursuing Him. But how? What areas do we need to focus on not only to make 2026 that kind of year, but also in the years to come?

As we continue to follow the missions of Paul and Barnabas, Fr. Mike highlights the fickle nature of humanity and the futility of striving for the praise of men. He also encourages us to remain courageous in the tribulations we face, finding strength in other believers, and running toward the eternal and imperishable goal of salvation. Today's readings are Acts 14, 1 Corinthians 9-10, and Proverbs 28:7-9. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear. Please note: The Bible contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.

In this episode, we walk through Philippians 3 and explore what Paul calls “a new way of becoming.” It's a life marked by pursuing Christ, letting go of the past, and pressing toward God's upward call. But this transformation isn't just personal—it's missional. As Christ reshapes us, He sends us out to impact the world around us. Join us as we unpack how spiritual maturity fuels a life on mission.Today's scripture passage is found in Philippians 3WANT MORE CONTENT?Click the link below to see the teaching that's tied to this podcastwww.genesischurchorlando.com/sermonsDISCUSSION GUIDE BELOW (COMING SOON) ⬇️ !!!GOT QUESTIONS?DM us on our Instagram and/or TikTok or email us at postsundaypodcast@gmail.comLIKE, SUBSCRIBE and leave a 5 star REVIEW on Spotify & iTunes.PSP Social Media at:Instagram: @postsundaypodcastYoutube.com/postsundaypodcastTiktok.com/postsunday.podcastTwitter.com/postsundaypodcastThread: @postsundaypodcast

In the final message of our Hebrews series, Pastor David Maestas teaches from Hebrews 12, a chapter that calls believers to endurance, maturity, and unwavering focus on Jesus. Hebrews 12 reminds us that the Christian life is a race — one that requires discipline, perseverance, and intentionality. We are surrounded by the legacy of those who ran before us (Hebrews 11), inspiring us to keep moving forward when life feels heavy. Pastor David explores how: God's discipline isn't punishment — it's proof of His love. Trials build spiritual endurance and strength. We are called to throw off the sin and distractions that slow us down. Fixing our eyes on Jesus gives us the courage to keep going. The discipline you're experiencing isn't God's rejection — it's His preparation. The race is long, but you're not running it alone. Keep your eyes on Jesus, the One who began your story and will faithfully finish it. SUBSCRIBE to our channel for more like this!

To succeed in the upward calling of God on our lives, we must look to Christ. There are three commands given to us in this passage, which help us see what that means and put this into action. A) Put Every Encumbrance Aside B) Run with Endurance C) Look to Christ

RUN THE RACE by EastLake Tri-Cities

In this episode, I reflect on the life and legacy of Charlie Kirk and what his example means for us as Christians moving forward. Charlie was a man of discipline, conviction, and grit—a reminder that Christianity is not for the faint of heart. We are called to run the race with endurance, to stand firm in the truth, and to live with courage even when it costs us. I'll walk through what it means to have GRIT as followers of Christ—Grounded in God's Word, Resilient in trials, Intentional in faith, and Tenacious for the truth. This is not about applause or comfort but about finishing the race well, as Paul says in 1 Corinthians 9. As we grieve, we don't grieve as those without hope. We remember that our God is unchanging, sovereign, and victorious over death itself. The best way to honor Charlie's legacy is to live with the same grit and conviction, keeping our eyes fixed on Christ, the author and finisher of our faith.

How does the India head of a global, category-creating giant view its future in arguably its most complex market?In this candid episode of Two by Two, we sit down with Prabhjeet Singh, the president of Uber India and South Asia, to deconstruct the company's biggest strategic challenges and ambitions in the country.Prabhjeet breaks down Uber's “barbell strategy”—a delicate balance of serving both premium customers with services like Uber Black and cost-conscious users with affordable options. We dive deep into the evolving competitive landscape, moving beyond the traditional Uber vs. Ola duopoly to discuss the disruption from players like Rapido and Namma Yatri, who are challenging the commission-based business model. Prabhjeet addresses how Uber navigates this complex environment, including the tricky regulatory and taxation issues that create a non-level playing field.The conversation expands to Uber's grander vision as a multi-modal platform, not just a ride-hailing app. Prabhjeet reveals a surprising insight: Uber's courier service is now one of its fastest-growing verticals in India, born from a “hack” during the pandemic. We also explore innovative new revenue streams, from the recently launched Uber Teens for secure rides to a fascinating new feature allowing driver-partners to earn extra income by completing AI-based micro-tasks during their downtime.Finally, we touch upon the long-term future, discussing the viability of self-driving cars on Indian roads and the constant push-and-pull of regulatory innovation. This is a rare, unfiltered look into the operational and strategic engine of Uber India as it navigates growth, competition, and its own evolution.This episode of Two by Two was mixed and mastered by Rajiv CN, our resident sound engineer.If you liked this episode of Two by Two, please share it with your friends, colleagues, and anyone else who might be interested.

We have one who has run the race in our place...

August 17, 2025. 20th Sunday of Ordinary Time homily by Fr. Matt Lowry about how we are encouraged to run the race toward heaven, bringing to God sin and all that burdens us. Jesus challenges us to love God above all things, even our family members who may not understand our following of Jesus.

It was our first time to Alaska! This is a recap of running a marathon in state #36 for me but so much more in the "final frontier." Check out this solo episode with travel ideas for when you and your family go to the 49th state, but also plenty of stories about adventures with my son: flightseeing over the massive 6 million acre Denali National Park and landing/walking on a snowy glacier...running the race amidst mountains in the Alaska capital of Juneau (and where this one ranks out of 40 marathons so far)...going on several hikes, more than a dozen miles and thousand of feet of elevation, plus God's beauty what we saw at the top each time...rare sightings of Denali summit...seeing Alaskan sled dogs in action, with stories from a 4-time Iditarod champ...feeing reindeer and highland cattle at a farm...why Hatcher Pass was our favorite in hiking boots...how to get around Alaska...rafting down the river next to a big glacier in Juneau...and the different food we ate during our exciting trip (naming names of restaurants).

She says that means eating what she wants in moderation. Audrey talks about the different sides of fitness within Miss Georgia and America. What are her favorite foods and how is a new personal trainer helping her? As for being spiritually and artistically fit, music also gives her a chance to share what she's feeling and her faith - playing violin and singing on big stages. She's championing the message (19:47) "Chase your dreams." She didn't grow up in pageants, but hopes to inspire others during her reign and also as a future speech pathologist, with a little more left to get her Masters from UGA. Audrey also explains how her community service initiative "Education For All" is helping people enjoy learning more and reducing GA dropout rates. We also dive into (28:19) the busy travel schedule as Miss Georgia, taking a "zoom out" approach, keeping a prayer journal throughout her 4 years of pageant competitions, and the sisterhood encouragement in that process. How's she preparing this final month before Miss America? It's September 2-7 in Orlando. She also has advice for others facing fears or big challenges. (38:29) We wrap up the chat with what she wants her legacy to be as Miss Georgia...how the crown works for this taller young lady...how girls can compete for Miss GA 2026...and misconceptions about the pageant world.

Police officer by day, power lifter when off duty, he just recently lifted or bench pressed 656 pounds! That's a new record at the competition he was at in Birmingham - the World Police and Fire Games. How does that strength fit into his law enforcement job? What's his training and meals look like? How can the rest of us have a similar "never satisifed" mindset in the gym? (2:50) Sgt Garrett Williams, a 17 year veteran of the Columbus Police Dept (in GA), talks about the excitement of winning gold at that world event, but he quickly was like "What's next?" We also discuss how he started getting into power lifitng as a "short fat kid" in middle school. (9:42) Being big and strong can also be a valuable weapon as a police officer, as the Sgt explains. Along with the exercise culture at CPD, he also gives details about food intake - which, for him, can be as a much as 6,800 calories per day. That number is dropping quite a bit lately, to drop some weight off his 390 pound frame. What are his go-to and cheat foods? (15:45) Garrett also gets into how often he goes to the gym, hours put in at Body Evolution in Columbus...pain involved with all the training...benefits of working out with other strongmen...why he enjoys the gym culture so much...struggles he's faced over a dozen years of consistently power lifting. (23:57) Back in May, he also placed 1st in the super heavyweight division, winning Georgia Strongest Man, but now is kinda retiring from most competitions. It's about the journey! That journey included playing college football...and now getting cheered on by his fellow police officers, receiving messages from around the world after his 656 pound record in a video that's gone somewhat viral, and a supportive wife (their 14th wedding anniversary on that competition day). After a little about his police job and how he may rep the force in Australia in 2027 to try and break his own record, (35:56) Garrett gives us insight into the mental toughness aspect of power lifting - subconsciously going inward with muffled sounds, when he's getting hyped up to lift - and resilience, bravery needed for police work too. Again, big congrats to Sgt Williams! Follow him on instagram to see amazing lifting videos at gwill_world_class. And closing out the episode in prayer.

The new Superman movie just hit theaters and there's renewed talk about parallels between the famous superhero and spiritual figures like Jesus. I saw the movie. It's a message of hope in a dark world. On this solo episode of "Run The Race" (make sure to subscribe), along with faith symbolism on the big screen, I also talk about how you can get jacked up with workouts like the latest actor playing the Man of Steel. Since Superman was created by a pair of Jewish teens almost 90 years ago, there have been Biblical parallels to the story. Hear some of those specific examples...but also know, fictional superheroes cannot save us and we do not need to be Superman. We can only try to be the best version of ourselves, with the gifts God gave us. I've got some quotes from some other Superman movies about being the "light of the world" and Americans not "needing a savior" along with Bible verses that correlate. And are we headed to a Christian and American revival? There are some ways this new film makes Superman cool again, and the church too. And check out my review of the latest blockbuster movie. On this episode, we also dig a little into how actor David Correnswet built muscle mass and put on 40 pounds for the epic role, including how much he ate daily, a breakdown of those nearly daily workouts, music to get pumped up to, and what exercises you can do to be like Superman.

From music and spreading the Gospel to transforming prayer and lessons from sports...this episode of "Run The Race" has it all. A ministry serving West GA and East AL is rebranding from "Take The City" to "Harvest Movement." Their leader is this week's guest, Jeremy Northington sharing about that transition and the Biblical meaning of the new name...plus his past prodigal sinful ways leading to a life-changing moment in a new prayer closet...and how fatherhood, sports, fitness are changing his lifestyle lately. (2:20) Following my own call from God, I first talk about a meaningful song, on the radio these day, and even sing my version of "Flowers," to hopefully uplift you when going through difficult times. Then, learn a lot more about this ministry leader. (9:27) Harvest Movement's new President talks about the evolution from outreach to more missional opportunities that include coffee, restoring lives, revitalizing communities. What if it's awkward to talk to strangers about Jesus? Jeremy had that same fear and explains how their ministry gets you ready in a non-intimidating way to fulfil our mission. there will be a Harvest Rebrand open house and celebration with worship, food, drink this Saturday July 12 (from 10am-2pm) at 2910 2nd Avenue in Columbus GA. Find out more about the nonprofit, how to get involved and support them at https://www.harvestmovement.org/. (19:58) As a rebellious teen, Jeremy strayed from the Lord - alcohol, drugs, sex - then had a moment in 2016, while desperate and broken, that led him to create a prayer closet. Hear his powerful testimony of transformation! (28:25) Along with starting a business a decade ago, Jeremy really loves being a dad, which also leads to him coaching his son. He talks about sports correlating with ministry. (37:56) And now he's on a new fitness and health journey, feeling like God's calling him to eat better and be in better shape - to be able to achieve all that the Lord has planned for Jeremy. Time to say Yes to the Holy Spirit! (47:17) And he closes us in prayer. Thanks for listening to the #RunTheRace podcast, which I hope you'll subscribe to! Share it with your friends.
