Run Your Race Podcast

  • Summary

  • When I first listened to David Goggins' book in 2019, I was hooked. If he could run 100 miles without training, I thought I could do it with training! It unlocked something in me, leading to my journey into ultramarathons. Since then, I've completed multiple 100- and 200-mile races, something I once thought impossible. This podcast aims to give you that same mindset shift. Each week, we interview elite endurance athletes to inspire you to believe more is possible and push yourself to the next level.

  • #008: Full Recap Of My Trip To Africa (CfaN Gospel Crusade)
    Dec 20 2024

    What happens when skepticism meets the undeniable power of faith? Our latest episode brings you to Abuja, Nigeria, alongside my friend Colton Wiseman and Rob Enge from Christ for All Nations. Rob shares his profound experiences from over a decade of evangelistic crusades across Africa, recounting real-life miracles that challenge doubt and ignite belief. From witnessing a woman walking without crutches to observing the palpable joy and faith of thousands gathered, this episode reveals the transformative impact of encountering God's love in action.

    This is a bit of a different episode than our typical ones. I went to Africa in November 2024 and have been getting a lot of questions about my experience. I wanted to share this journey with you, diving into the incredible moments and reflections from my time there.

    Join us as we explore the courage and sacrifices involved in spreading the gospel, especially in regions where faith meets resistance. We reflect on the logistical and financial commitments of such missions and how Colton's initial doubts were dispelled by the genuine expressions of faith he witnessed. Embracing the teachings of Evangelist Daniel Kalenda, we discuss the profound spiritual journey of overcoming doubt and the limitless possibilities that come with unwavering belief in the miraculous.

    This episode offers a window into the electrifying atmosphere of crusades where the miraculous becomes reality. From powerful healing testimonies to the deeper spiritual insights gained along the way, our conversation emphasizes the unexplainable nature of faith and the blessings that flow from a decision to follow Jesus. We highlight transformative stories of conversions and the importance of embracing childlike faith, leaving listeners inspired to trust in God's will and the extraordinary power of His presence.
