Fix Your Eyes: Running the Race Set Before Us

There is a race in front of you. Not a casual jog through a pleasant park, but an agonizing, demanding, sometimes brutal course that requires everything you have. The ancient Greek word used in Hebrews 12 for "race" is the root of our English word "agony." That is not an accident. The race of life is hard. It is painful. It will bring suffering and challenge and seasons where you are not sure you can take another step.

Navigating Death with Wisdom, Grace, and Hope

Wisdom in the face of death requires both truth and community. We need to believe what is actually true about death—that it's an enemy, not a friend; a waiting, not a journey; an end that only God can overcome. What's your strategy for dealing with death? Some try to outrun it through legacy-building or distraction. Others numb themselves with comfort and entertainment. But wisdom calls us to a different path: to get on our knees in prayer, to invite others into our grief, to share the gospel with those who face death without hope, and to make space in our communities for honest mourning.
