The Spartan Race Of Life

4. THERE ARE NO SHORTCUTS

Much of our modern experience encourages us to cut corners. But the Spartan Race doesn’t allow for it. With every obstacle I came to, it demanded confrontation. To avoid the obstacle, to attempt a shortcut, required an equally (or possibly more) difficult exertion of energy than simply confronting the challenge head-on (in the form of 30 Burpies). It teaches an important life lesson: every shortcut, in an attempt to derive immediate benefit, leads to long-term detriment. In the Spartan, as in life, love and ministry, there are NO shortcuts. (To read how many of these same life lessons are packaged into a similar race experience for children read CG Victory – Serious Adventure, No Kidding.)
