Ep. 1 – What’s the basis of a strong Christian testimony? It’s not how impressive the person is, but how impressed they are with Jesus. World-record-holding sprinter and hurdler, Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, checks both boxes.
Ep. 2 – Gold implies prestige and success, but an Olympic gold medal means even more. For some athletes, it’s the ultimate validation of their career and even their identity, but not for Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone.
Ep. 3 – Where is your identity? That’s an important question for all of us, and for elite runner Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, it was both life- and career-altering. How could knowing Jesus impact a professional athlete?
Ep. 4 – Where are you now? That’s helpful to know, but it’s only meaningful if you know where you’ve been and where you’re going. We’re not talking about a road trip, but the Christian life.
Ep. 5 – Living for Christ is like running a race; the Bible is clear on that. But it’s a different sort of race. It’s not about beating the competition but winning the prize. It’s a race we run by faith.
