Get ready to be motivated and inspired to improve on your fitness and faith walk. Do you want to lose weight? Grow closer to God? Get stronger physically, mentally and spiritually? On this new RUN THE RACE podcast, we’ll focus on how to get started and how to challenge ourselves in all these things.

On this first episode, you’ll hear me get personal, with lessons learned as a veteran TV news anchor, husband and father, avid marathon runner and church builder.

(12:00 mark) Listen to find out how I got started with running and working out. Along the way, there’s been plenty of pain, success, (17:30) even a bathroom fiasco while running across Georgia with a team of friends. (21:50) Getting motivated can be a struggle. Hear WHY your podcast host went from the couch (38:30) to the new goal of running a marathon in all 50 states.

(25:45) We also talk about doing more than talking the talk, putting faith into action. The name of this podcast comes from Hebrews 12:1, which says “Let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles us. And let us run with perseverance the race marked for us.”
