Race of the Redeemed- I AM

🏃‍♂️ Welcome

Welcome!

✨ Event Options

3 options for this event!

• Option 1: 5K
• Option 2: 1 mile walk
• Option 3: Donate what you wish

🏅 5K Experience

The 5K is the heart of this event. It's what we started with and will always have. Whether you are a seasoned runner or this is your first 5K we want this to be an awesome experience for you! A 5K is meant to be a challenge in one way or another. It is good to have goals and to do hard things! We want this to be an opportunity for God to show up for you in a way that encourages you, lifts up your soul, and ignites you to live a more full and passionate life through Jesus Christ!

🤔 The Importance of "Why"

Speaking of doing hard things, it's important that we do the RIGHT hard things! There are hard things that we must endure not by choice and then there are hard things (like 5K's) that we do by choice! But.....in all the hard things the WHY is so important.

• Reason 1: WHY continue getting up every day?
• Reason 2: WHY continue until you meet the goal and finish the thing?
• Reason 3: Without a worthy WHY, you are likely to quit when your desire disappears.
• Reason 4: Jesus is the worthy reason. He lived, died, & was resurrected for us.

💖 Supporting a Local Family

Doing this race maybe you would like to support a good WHY. I mean if we are paying to do something hard don't we want to feel good about where that money is going? Well you can! Most of every penny of your entry fee will go directly to a local family. You may have noticed in the theme and the colors and the pictures surrounding this race, autism. Our local family is faced with this disorder daily. We would like to bless them with these proceeds to afford a wide range of needs they may have.

📖 Scripture Inspiration

With that being said, I'm sure you have noticed the words, "I AM WHO I AM." Every year we have done this event I pray for a scripture. That scripture is the center of it all.

• Insight: Disorders, diseases, sickness, and all the host of brokenness we experience is a result of sin in our world.
• Truth: Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
• Guidance: The name literally means, "I exist." God has been proving His existence since the beginning of time.
• Question: If the God of the Bible exists, what does that mean for us?

🙏 Prayer and Reflection

My prayer is that we will discover the answer! I pray we will come to understand the divine origin of our divine deliverance and the stark contrast of the two extreme points we all truly face- in relationship with God through His son Jesus or out of relationship with God.
