Are you running the race God has set before you—or getting distracted by everyone else’s lane?

In this episode of Glow Up in Grace, I’m teaching from Hebrews 12:1–2 about comparison, unnecessary weight, endurance, and what it means to fix our eyes on Jesus.

We’ll talk about the voices that try to narrate our race, the things we may need to lay aside, and why being tired doesn’t mean you’re finished.

I also created a free Run Your Race Reflection Guide to help you go deeper through prayer, journaling, and personal reflection.

If this episode encourages you, share it with someone who needs the reminder to stay in their lane, keep their eyes on Jesus, and keep running.

Glow Up in Grace — Where Faith Meets the Glow-Up Dr. Deborah Owens

Have you lived long enough to look back and see evidence of God’s faithfulness—even through grief, uncertainty, waiting, and change?

In Part 2 of this teaching from Psalm 37, I reflect on David’s testimony: “I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken…”

I recorded this episode during one of the most tender seasons of my life. As I continue grieving my husband, rebuilding my life, raising our children, and taking one faithful step at a time, God is teaching me that difficult seasons do not erase His faithfulness.

We may not understand God’s timing or know how everything will work out, but we can look back and remember the doors He opened, the prayers He answered, and the strength He gave us when we did not know how we would make it.

In This Episode:

• How your life experience becomes evidence of God’s faithfulness • Trusting God through grief, uncertainty, and unanswered questions • Why God’s Word must move from our minds into our hearts • What it means to wait faithfully without standing still • Why you cannot measure God’s faithfulness by someone else’s highlight reel • Choosing peace over comparison and the appearance of success • Remembering that your present uncertainty does not erase God’s past faithfulness • A heartfelt prayer for provision, healing, direction, families, and those who are still waiting

If you cannot see what God is doing ahead of you, turn around for a moment and remember what He has already done behind you.

I pray this episode reminds you that God has not forgotten you. He is still your strength, your help, and your refuge in times of trouble.

I’d love to hear what God is teaching you.
