But the purpose of this hellish experience was to improve our overall team endurance and nonstop running was a central aspect of the experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bible speaks of another kind of running that produces endurance. Hebrews puts it this way, <strong><em>\u201cTherefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us RUN WITH ENDURANCE the race God has set before us.\u201d<\/em><\/strong> <strong>Hebrews 12:1 (NLT)<\/strong> The writer speaks of the Christian life as \u201ca race\u201d, not a sprint but more of a marathon.&nbsp; Unfortunately, it is a race that will include many setbacks, disappointments, and pain along the way. In such a race it is easy to feel more like a \u201c<em>chump<\/em>\u201d than a \u201c<em>champ<\/em>.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please join us this Sunday January 24<sup>th<\/sup> at 11 AM (PST) on our YouTube channel right here: <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/lkV8uCtRQVE\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/lkV8uCtRQVE<\/a>&nbsp; .
