Run Your Race & Let Go of the Weight - H...

Madison Prewett Troutt
About this episode

From distractions to sin to comparison, so many things slow us down without us even realizing it. Hebrews 12 calls us to throw off everything that hinders and run with endurance… but how do you actually do that in real life? What weight are you holding onto? What's keeping you stuck or distracted? Are you even running the race God set before you… or someone else's?

Through this conversation, you'll be reminded that the goal isn't perfection… it's perseverance. And the only way we keep going is by fixing our eyes on Jesus.

 

In this conversation, Madi and Grant talk about:
-What "running your race" actually means
-How to identify the weight holding you back
-Why letting go is necessary to move forward
-What it looks like to stay focused on Jesus daily

 

My prayer is that you would feel encouraged to release what's been weighing you down, refocus your heart on Jesus, and run your race with endurance and freedom.
