Tune into this epic talk given by Mark Sidhom as he presents the parallels between the endurance we need in our spiritual lives and the endurance one needs when participating in a marathon-like event.
"Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it. And everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown." 1 Corinthians 9:24-25
