I love running with my neighbors in Track Town USA. Five marathons later, you could say I’ve been assimilated into the “runners religion.” ⁣Every race comes with the anticipation for the next mile marker, the next aid station, the next smile, the next “you got this,” and the next familiar friend cheering you on. ⁣It’s painful to push through cramps and sore muscles. It takes dedication to place one foot in front of the other for another mile. You can’t pretend in a marathon. It exacts a toll. ⁣Perhaps, like me, you’ve hit a wall. It’s mile 14, and you’re collapsing, or muscles are seizing up, and you just hope to finish.⁣ I only finished #2 & #3 because I chose to lay down and do some stretches mid-race and because my wife was there to cheer me on when I was ready to give up. ⁣True humility is gained from the curbs of life when our pride and independence fail us. Life and leadership involves pushing through more than 26.2 miles - remember, just like the old Nike slogan goes: there is no finish line.⁣ Teacher: Lars Coburn

Churches of Christ and the Restoration Movement generally have had a nip/tuck relationship with the Trinity historically.

Then work will be done to situate the gospel within a trinitarian framework with special attention given to Hebrews 9.14. Teacher: Nick Perez

Everyone needs a cheering section. Who are the people in your life that have made an indelible imprint on your heart? Friends, teachers, coaches, camp counselors, and teammates. A nosy neighbor or a devoted grandmother. Through prayers, tears, and cheers,their faith kindled yours. What can you learn from the "Heroes of Faith" and how can you live like one? Teacher: Jeff Brooks

One part of the gospel message that often flies under the radar is the topic of inheritance. In this class we will snoop around that topic a bit, looking at the history behind expressions like "inherit eternal life," "children of Abraham," "heirs of the promise," "heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ," and others that inform how we understand our identity as Christians. Teacher: Tim Willis

In this class we will explore the nuances of the cross-generational, multi-generational, and intergenerational church classifications.

How do you keep running when you are dry, parched and tired? There are lessons in the desert we will never learn while running in the park. Come take a lap with Israel to find hope among miracles, mistakes and mourning. Teacher: Jeff Walling
