The Rev. Dr. R. Leigh Spruill draws from Hebrews 11–12 and a personal memory of his brother’s final high school track meet to reflect on what it means to run with endurance the race set before us. Surrounded by a “great cloud of witnesses,” the Christian life is not a solitary sprint but a shared journey of encouragement, perseverance, and hope in Christ.
Whether you’re weary in faith or feeling weighed down by life’s burdens, this message is a reminder to lay aside what hinders and fix your eyes on Jesus, the one who runs before us and crowns the race with joy.
