Run Your Race With Jesus

The Journey

When my friend Mark McCraw and I reflect on our lives, it's clear that the most transformative moments often spring from the deepest trials. This episode is a testament to that truth as we share the powerful shifts from secular existence to a life embraced by faith in Jesus Christ. Together, we navigate the memories of our previous worldly endeavors, discussing how adversity and a sense of purpose in our professional lives led us down a path to spiritual enlightenment. Mark's leap of faith into the world of Christian radio with me, a mission that resonated hope throughout the Gulf Coast, is a cornerstone of our fellowship that continues to thrive.

Mark's story takes an even more touching turn when he recounts the emotional odyssey with his late wife Patrice – from their love's beginning, through the hardships of infertility, to her valiant battle with cancer. The grace found in their son Grayson, the comfort drawn from the phrase "Thy Will Be Done," and Savannah’s unwavering support highlight an episode that is as much about healing as it is about loss. And as we conclude, I share advice for parents fostering their children's passions and the significance of imparting spiritual wisdom, trusting in God's timing. It's a conversation that promises to move hearts and strengthen beliefs, shining a light on the enduring message that through it all, Jesus is the constant answer.
