Thank you for joining us for this episode, "Running Unhindered." Today, we're diving into Hebrews 12:1-2, where the writer tells us to lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us.

Plus, we'll talk about what it means to fix our eyes and the intentions of our hearts on Jesus when life feels like it's throwing us off course. It's not always easy. Sometimes, the hard stuff makes us feel like we're missing the mark, but God can use those moments to reset us on Him.

Welcome to the SEASON 3 opener of the Warrior Raiser podcast, where we explore the theme of "The Next Right Step."   This year's conversation is inspired by the key verse from Ephesians 4:1, which calls us to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which we have been called. As followers of Christ, we are called to live a life of purpose and intentionality, taking one step at a time towards the destiny that God has planned for us.   Throughout this season, Angela & Kerry will be sharing practical insights and biblical wisdom to help you take actionable steps towards your goals. They'll be joined by guests who have taken their own next right steps and have inspiring testimonies to share about how God has led them on their journey.   Join them as we discover how to live out our calling by taking the next right step, guided by the wisdom and truth of God's Word. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/warriorraiser/support

Kathy is a gifted speaker with an extensive background in journalism, radio and television communications.   She has a heart for teaching practical truths from God’s word and a life imperfectly lived. Now in Act 3 of her career, she knows the “ups and downs” in her marriage, parenting, work, and life have given her a beautiful perspective about God’s abundant grace.   She's no stranger to small beginnings, having to "rinse and repeat" many times throughout her life.  She firmly believes that sometimes, small beginnings stay small because it is not your gifting.  We all need a “Simon Cowell” to tell us that as much as we want to do “X,” it might not be where we thrive.   God created you for something, and any time spent outside that “thing” is wasted.   If you have multiple trusted counselors bear witness to what you believe God has given you, then it is a daily walk of trust.     We act - God responds.   We make plans, God confirms them. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/warriorraiser/support

*Originally scheduled for a November release* Kerry and Angela sit down to discuss their thoughts and feelings about this season's podcast content, they share how they met, and their hopes and dreams for the future. Their conversation covers a range of topics, including hermit crabs, platforms, comparison being a punk (a nod to our friend, Bob Goff), fading bodies, and the idea that our platform is wherever we are. They also talk about the increible fact that when we pursue God and His will for our lives, He rejoices in our obedience. We hope you'll laugh a little but, ultimately, be inspired by the discussion! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/warriorraiser/support
