In this episode, Chris and Mel sit down with running coach and marathoner Melissa Sharp, someone Chris first connected with during his last three years emceeing the Bass Pro Marathon. If you've been at the start line early in the morning, you've probably seen Melissa leading a short worship service for any runner who wants to begin race day with prayer and encouragement. It's something she has done at nearly every marathon she runs — a heartfelt mission she carries with her wherever she goes.
Melissa shares how she became a runner, how coaching became a natural extension of her calling, and why pouring into people is at the center of everything she does. From marathons to ultra distances, her passion for the sport is matched only by her love for pointing people toward hope, strength, and faith. This conversation is uplifting, inspiring, and full of the kind of genuine wisdom Melissa brings to everyone she meets.
