With me today for Episode 18 is Dr. Brad Cooper, long time ally of FCA Endurance with a very impressive résumé in endurance racing including completing 11 Ironmans, four of which were appearances at the World Championships in Hawaii. But that’s not all - he and his teammate Jerry Schemmel won the 2-person Race Across America cycling event, as featured in the film Godspeed: The Race Across America,  and he was recognized as "The World's Fittest CEO." Brad is also the current CEO of Catalyst Coaching 360, holds two US patents, and hosts the popular Catalyst 360 Podcast, and somehow we touch on all of this and more in this exciting and uplifting one-hour episode.

Hey you! Yes you, podcast listener. Thank you for joining us today. As you listen to this episode, I want you to ponder your position. No, not your aero position on the bike, though that’s important, or what position you ended up in your age group on your last race. But your position in this ministry. Are you part of a huddle? No? Why is that? Is that because one doesn’t exist in your area? Well I’ve got a great idea for you. Why don’t you start one? I’m talking to you, yeah you - the one who recently graduated from college and is looking to find your legs, so to speak, in a ministry. And I’m also talking to you - yes you - the seasoned triathlon vet whose best racing days are behind you. I’ve got good news for you, too. Your best ministry days may lie ahead. Think of the influence you could be on your peers by starting a huddle in your area. Do you want some inspiration? Well I’ve got some for you. Join me as I chat with Beth Crompton, the leader of a new FCA Endurance Huddle in Raleigh. She saw a void she could fill, and stepped up and out in faith to use the Gifts God has given her to start a huddle. So I ask you. Could you be the newest Huddle Leader for FCA Endurance. What do you say? I say, pray about it, and let us hear from you. We need leaders to build God’s kingdom and make His name known in the Endurance community. All of Christ for All of LIfe, right? That includes your next 5K.

When you're ready to start a huddle or join one, reach out to us at https://fcaendurance.org/join

ALL FOR THE GLORY OF GOD

Lets face it - most of us have a love/hate relationship with evangelism. We love the idea of it in principle, but in practice, many of us feel as though we come up short. If that's you, then know that you're not alone, and so we'll discuss how to be better at this. We also provide you with several ministry updates and ways you can get involved in the Ministry.
