Bonus: “Fixed on the Finish Line” with Arlen Glick – The Testimony of an Ultra Marathon Runner

Sep 30, 2024

Did you know that the cumulative weight of something as small as a cell-phone carried for 100 miles would add up to 70,000 pounds? This puts a whole new perspective on “setting aside every weight” in order to run the race set before us! We are thrilled to have ultramarathoner Arlen Glick join us on this delightful episode. Sharing inspiring stories from his faith and his running experiences, Arlen weaves together truth that will encourage you to run…run the Christian life! God calls us to have the mindset of an athlete as we live out our Christianity. Keeping our eyes on the finish line is the key to enduring hardships and difficulties that come.

Arlen Glick is an elite ultra runner who has run and won many 100-mile races across the US. In addition to this, a significant part of his life involves doing prison ministry across the US with his family. He currently resides with his family in Ohio.
