I just returned from the Amazon jungle, where I spent a week with jungle pastors who serve along the Amazon river. I’ll talk about some of the lessons I learned from them in today’s episode. And how they helped me better understand Paul’s encouragement to run our race for the ultimate prize.
Their encouragement to us will help us step out of our comfort zones and into the boat with Jesus (something the people on the Amazon River do literally). I hope today’s episode encourages you to run the race that Jesus has for you. He will lead you if you’re willing to follow Him.
Episode Points
1. If we’re reaping spiritually, we should be giving generously.
2. We will only live spiritually disciplined lives if our prize is in focus.
3. “Following Jesus was worth it then, it’s worth it now, it’s worth it all.” Pastor Gioval

Scripture References
1 Corinthians 9:9-12
1 Corinthians 9: 24-27
Quote Kelly Mentioned: “In context, the overall argument has to do with putting others before self in order to maximize one’s effectiveness for the gospel, which requires rigorous self-discipline.” Mark Taylor, New American Commentary, 1 Cor.
