“For consider Him that endured such contradiction of sinners against Himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.” Hebrews 12:3 This question is by far, the most common I have heard amongst runners. "I don’t have any motivation to run, where do I get some?" When the motivation to run has left, what… Continue reading Has your Motivation to Run Disappeared?
Surrendering to God isn’t a surface issue, it’s a heart problem. It is doubt that God really loves you and that He is good. I read a quote once that said, “Satans goal is to get you to doubt God’s goodness.” Recently Psalm 107 has really stood out to me because it reminds me of… Continue reading Do you have a deep desire to surrender to God, but just can’t seem to?

So I began to tell God, “I want to let… Continue reading Let God Love You
