“Let us run with endurance the race God has set before us,” the writer of Hebrews tells us (Heb. 12:1).

But what does that mean, exactly? Where are we going? To death? To the New Heavens and New Earth? To more suffering?

And how do we run this race without being legalistic about it: Just keep swimming. Just keep going. Just do it. That’s what Christians do.

Author and teacher, Trillia Newbell, helps us understand more of this race running in a compelling conversation that we hope will inspire you to take the next right step.

Highlights:

“What legalism is is you’re trying to walk the walk–but not because you love Jesus … it’s because you feel that the only way to approach God is to do these [certain] things … This is sometimes why people give up on the Christian faith, because they are working real hard and life still sinks.” –Trillia Newbell

“Part of the reason we are not gritty is we are trying to do it ourselves, so, we give up.” —Trillia Newbell

“We cannot endure as Christians if we don’t know the One who sustains us.” —Trillia Newbell
