Pod # 12 Running the Race with Endurance
I don’t want to replace my relationship with God with working for God
In this Pod, I talk to one of the smartest people I know. We have a very interesting conversation about recovering from being a people pleaser, dealing with reentry anxiety, friendships with Arabs, leadership, the importance of coaching, and so much more. My guest is well read, thoughtful, and taught me some very important life lessons. I’m excited for you to listen in on our conversation.

As Christians, we always have a good reason to do more. But we also need to make sure we make it to the end of the marathon.
