In this episode of the Unquenchable Fire Podcast, I sit down with fellow ultra runner and friend, Loren Jones to explore how ultra running has shaped us into better husbands, fathers, and followers of Jesus. Running long distances has a way of testing endurance, revealing weaknesses, and pointing us back to God’s strength.

We share how the discipline of training and racing has impacted our families, inspired our kids to do hard things, and deepened our faith. We talk about the spiritual lessons hidden in suffering, perseverance, and finishing what we start.

We also look ahead to upcoming races and cast vision for my attempt at competing in the Cocodona 250 in 2026.

Whether you’re a runner, a parent, or simply someone seeking encouragement in your walk with Christ, this conversation will remind you that endurance and suffering through pain always points back to Christ who suffered for us.

God gets the glory!
