In this Guts Church Podcast, Pastor Bill Scheer challenges us to stop coasting and start running to win.
Pulling from 1 Corinthians 9 and Hebrews 12, Pastor Bill unpacks what it means to live intentionally, discipline your life, and stay focused on the prize. You’ll learn how to stop letting the world distract you, endure hardship with faith, and live as a champion of Christ’s victory.
This message will stir your focus, strengthen your endurance, and remind you:
You were made to win, not just survive.
Faith requires focus, discipline, and endurance.
The Word isn’t just information—it’s transformation.
You’re not running for victory; you’re running from it.
Finishing strong is what brings glory to God.
