In this Christmas-themed episode of the Running His Race Podcast, Coach Elizabeth explores a powerful question: What if Jesus were truly running beside you?
Imagine lining up at your race with Jesus cheering you on, handing you water, and reminding you that you can do all things through Him.
This episode unpacks the meaning of Emmanuel—God with us—and how embracing His presence can completely transform your training, mindset, and confidence.
Coach Elizabeth invites you to step into a new understanding of Jesus not as a distant observer, but as an active, loving, compassionate Partner in every stride.
Whether you're chasing a PR or simply logging winter miles, this episode will help you see your running as a sacred space where God meets you, equips you, and sends you out to shine His light.

What You'll Hear in this Episode:
Challenge for Listeners: During one of your runs this week, intentionally dedicate one mile (or 10 minutes) to imagining Jesus running beside you. Silence any distractions and pray before. "Lord, your servant is listening. Help me to feel you and see you right beside me, as we run this together."
Afterward, reflect on how you experienced the Lord, and journal about it on your phone so you make sure to do this right away and not put it off.
