April 3rd, 2025 Happy Thursday! I am getting back into the habit of sharing weekly(ish) encouragement to provide like Jesus through this newsletter. I recently had the opportunity to share at my church and wanted to summarize the talk below. Enjoy! God is With Us Even When We Don't Feel It Running 100 miles reminded me God is with us. When I woke up for my last ultrarace, I looked at my alarm clock and immediately sensed the words "I am with you." What a gift. I meditated on these words all race. I also experienced family and friends being with me and supporting me throughout race day, fueling to a personal best finish. Farewell speeches in the Bible remind us to be brave and trust God is with us. Both Moses (Deut 31:6) in his final speech to the Isrealites before they enter the Promised Land and Jesus before he ascends into Heaven (Matt 28:20) encourage their friends that God will never leave them. Our words matter and when we know we are listening to someone's final words we should pause and really listen. Watch my sermon on "I Am With You." You can watch my sermon on this topic that I was honored to give at my church, Life Point Church, by clicking the button below.
