In this podcast, Dr. Daniel Gualtieri shares important strategies for running your race—the race that God has called you to—and crossing the finish line to win the prize.Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win (1 Cor. 9:24 NASB).You have to prepare and condition yourself much more before you run the actual race. This is what the Christian life is all about—preparing yourself with the Word and studying to show yourself approved unto God, a workman who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. We also need to be led by the Holy Spirit so we can run our own race, and not someone else's.The race itself is short compared to the preparation time that is much longer. We need to show up for practice and make ourselves experts in the Word of God so that we will be ready to fulfill the assignment that God has given to each and every one of us.Our goal is not only to run the race, but to win and receive the prize. That means spending time in God's Word, putting the Word in our heart and speaking it out of our mouth.My son, give attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart; for they are life to those who find them, and health to all their flesh. Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life (Prov. 4:20-23).Instead of listening to the voices and lies of the world, we need to put a demand on our senses to obey the Word of God. We need to find what the Word says about the affairs of this life and how to live our own Christian walk, including relationships, marriage, finances, healing and health.If we are going to win, we need to have a very close relationship with God through His Word.It is important for us to find our own pace and breath in the race, making sure that we can perform and finish the race, and that we do not overspend our strength in the beginning. Remember, we can't run someone else's race.I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus (Phil. 3:14 ESV).The only way to get the prize is to cross the finish line. Make sure to prepare yourself and have enough resources and energy to cross the finish line. Keep your heart with all diligence for out of it are the issues of life. Hide the Word of God in your heart. Don't speak the problem, but speak the solution.Challenge yourself every day to live a life of love, joy, peace, and all the fruit of the Spirit. Run in such a way to win the race!

Why does life so often feel out of sync with how we think it's supposed to look? In this episode, we challenge the idea of a one-size-fits-all “Emerald City” and embrace our inner gems of joy, hope, authenticity, transformation, and positivity. We reflect on how to define happiness on our own path, love ourselves in the process, and exercise caution in assuming what's good for us is good for others.

Summary Grant Cox, a former Clemson baseball player, shares his journey of overcoming setbacks and finding gratitude in the face of adversity. He emphasizes the importance of running your own race and sticking to your beliefs, even when faced with challenges. Grant discusses the inception of his dream to play for Clemson and the pursuit of that dream. He opens up about the major setbacks he experienced, including shoulder surgery, the removal of a mass from his leg, and chronic exertional compartment syndrome. Grant also shares the profound impact of losing his cousin in a school shooting and how it changed his perspective on life. He highlights the power of forgiveness and the importance of loving people while they're still here. Through his story, Grant inspires listeners to find strength in their own journeys and to never take anything for granted. In this episode, host Grant Cox emphasizes the importance of sharing experiences and the impact it can have on others. He encourages listeners to be open and vulnerable, as hiding one's battles prevents others from seeing their strength. The conversation then shifts to the idea of obsession and the dedication required to achieve audacious goals. Building a support system and managing negative thoughts are discussed as crucial aspects of personal growth. The episode concludes with a reminder to stay true to oneself and to appreciate both the highs and lows of life.   Takeaways   Run your own race and stick to your beliefs, even in the face of adversity.

Love and support the people in your life while they're still here. Find gratitude and live with a clean heart, even in the midst of challenges. Sharing experiences can have a positive impact on others and help them feel supported. Being vulnerable and showing one's battles can demonstrate strength and resilience.

Welcome Stephanie Cotta to The TufFish Show, a place to help writers and aspiring authors get out of their own way to leave a legacy by telling the stories they want to share through writing their own books and confidently sharing them with others. The writing process can be tough and the business side can feel scary, but TufFish makes both feel smoother and achievable. Visit https://www.jennifermilius.com/tuffish to learn more. If you've been writing or have been in your head about when to take it to the next step and share with others, or if you need to rework your book from a different angle, or if you should be further along than you are, then let this conversation with Stephanie Cotta offer some encouragement. Stephanie shared how working with an accountability partner helped her to move to the next step, then how querying her epic fantasy manuscript caused her to try a different approach to get published. She also shared how she trusted her instincts and went at the pace she needed, which is something I think is so important, especially when it seems like you should be further along. Stephanie Cotta writes epic fantasy and is the award-winning author of the young adult fantasy novel The Conjurer's Curse. After discovering the world of Star Wars and the land of Narnia at a young age, her love of Sci-fi/Fantasy has been undying ever since. She loves crafting stories of hope amid impossible odds and creating realistic characters who inspire readers to discover their inner strength and overcome their struggles. Stephanie lives in beautiful Southern Oregon with her husband, their two kids, a corgi named Walter, and a tabby-cat named Percy.

John Yates leads a pastoral panel with Matt Carter, Vermon Pierre, and Afshin Ziafat in a discussion on how hard ministry can be and what it takes to not lose heart. They discuss their personal experience of carrying the weight of the church and encountering criticism and fatigue. Together, they suggest how to prevent burnout by having: great mentors, friends inside the church, and a safe place to confess sin. They close with an emphasis on the importance of being surrounded by other believers and letting them speak into your life.
