3. YOU ARE NOT ALONE
One of the pleasant surprises of the race is the camaraderie that arises amongst strangers throughout this grueling competition. Along the journey, there are people encouraging others who are struggling, and lending a helping hand to those in need. It represents the best of humanity, but also the best of what the Church is intended to be. When people ask me if they “have to” attend church to be a Christian, I am intrigued. Why would we want to endure this blood-stained, tear-filled, faith-fueled journey alone? We would do well to realize that we aren’t alone; Christ is with us, in the form of His Spirit and His Church.
