Endurance and Running the Race of Life with Jesus | Jessica Clark | Ep. 82

I ran my first half marathon race! In this episode, I talk about my running journey and how I relate it to my spiritual walk (or run haha) with the Lord and my relationship with Christ. I talk about how I have learned how to discipline myself and endure in both my running as well as in my relationship with Jesus, and how I have learned to overcome challenges and trials in my life through trusting in God. I read from Hebrews 12 and talk about the importance of building our endurance and looking to Jesus, the founder and perfector of our faith, for the strength, grace and wisdom we need to keep going in life. I share about the joys that come from abiding in Jesus and looking to the Bible for truth and guidance. I am grateful for the hope we have in Jesus and that we get to spend eternity in Heaven with Him forever! May we not get discouraged by the hardships and trials that come in this life; rather, may we be encouraged to continue running the race of life, allowing the Lord to refine us and shape us to look like Him so that we may be strengthened to share the Gospel with others and lead others to Christ! I hope you are encouraged by this episode and reminded of the importance of endurance and discipline.
