When life knocks you down, who helps you back up? Today’s devotion tells the true story of a marathon runner who couldn’t finish alone—and the biblical truth that we were never meant to.

Ever felt like you’re about to fall apart—right before the finish line?

In this episode, we unpack one of the most powerful moments from the London Marathon and why Ecclesiastes 4:9–10 reminds us we were created for connection. Whether you’re the one reaching out or the one being carried, this devotion is for you.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:

• What a viral moment in a marathon teaches us about true friendship
• What Scripture says about why we all need help sometimes
• Why you need a faith community—and how to take the first step

Someone you know might be barely holding on.
