FROM THE SHOW:

BUILT TO LEAD | together we transform

Three Key Questions

The Right Order is Important

1. How I live (What I do) – will answer the question of…

2. Who I am – which will finally explain…

3. Why I live

This order can easily lead to the performance trap and a life that may not feel genuine to you.

1. Why I live – My purpose - comes from knowing your worldview/beliefs

2. Who I am – My true identity

3. How I live – Will naturally flow from clarity of purpose and identity

This order will result in alignment and fulfillment in work and in life.

Thank you for joining us for this episode, "Running Unhindered."

Today, we're diving into Hebrews 12:1-2, where the writer tells us to lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us. It’s about fixing our eyes on Jesus and embracing the journey, even when it leads through unexpected detours and challenging seasons.

In this episode, Angela and Kerry will be sharing some of our recent experiences and how we've had to pause, recalibrate, and refocus on Jesus. We'll discuss the importance of recognizing when something is holding us back and how to shed it to keep moving forward. Plus, we'll talk about what it means to fix our eyes and the intentions of our hearts on Jesus when life feels like it's throwing us off course.

It's not always easy. Sometimes, the hard stuff makes us feel like we're missing the mark, but God can use those moments to reset us on Him. We hope this episode encourages you to keep running your race, no matter the circumstance.

So grab your headphones, settle in, and join us for a conversation about faith, life, and what it means to run unhindered!
