Welcome to The Race podcast brought to you by FCA Endurance where our goal is to unite, equip, and encourage Christian endurance athletes in their quest to see the world changed for Christ at the local huddle level and across the globe. This episode is the recording of the FCA Endurance Virtual Season Kickoff recorded on Palm Sunday 2026 featuring many guest speakers, some of whom are just starting huddles or are relatively new to the ministry, while others have been involved for over 20 years. Each of these speakers richly fill this episode with Godly insight, wisdom, and motivation to help you in your quest to Compete for Christ and live out His mission in your life with boldness. So without further ado, let’s listen to Director Mark Long’s opening remarks as he reintroduces us to the mission and vision of this ministry, and introduces us to many of these key players as they share. So be inspired, and as you listen, ask the Lord for guidance in your ministry efforts. Wherever you are, and whatever your role, find motivation in what your co-laborers in Christ are focused on for the 2026 season already underway.

Welcome to The Race podcast brought to you by FCA Endurance where our goal is to unite, equip, and encourage Christian endurance athletes in their quest to see the world changed for Christ at the local huddle level and across the globe. I’m your Host Andy Peterson and in this episode I have the privilege of of speaking with Jason Millsaps, lead worship pastor, 16 time full IRONMAN finisher, FCA Endurance member, and now author of the new book “From 37 yards to Kona,” which will be a key focus of our conversation about perseverance and faith.

Welcome to the race podcast brought to you by FCA Endurance where our goal is to unite, equip, and encourage Christian endurance athletes in their quest to see the world changed for Christ at the local huddle level and across the globe. I’m your Host Andy Peterson and in this episode I have the privilege of interviewing one of the most well known triathletes in the history of the sport - Heather Gollnick.

Heather is a current Spartan athlete and former Professional Triathlete who enjoyed an amazing career on the triathlon world stage for well over a decade. She is a 5x Ironman Champion, 37 time Ironman Finisher, former Age Group National Champion, multi time member of Team USA and winner of over 200 multisport events.

Heather is currently the triathlon coach at Liberty University where she is busy developing Champions for Christ and is also a motivational speaker and one of the foremost authorities on “Mental Training” for sport. Her book TriathleteEQ addresses the fact that endurance sports are as much a test of your emotional endurance ability as they are a test of your physical ability.

Heather has been actively coaching athletes for over 20 years - both in triathlon and OCR. Her vast experience racing as a professional athlete has helped her successfully coach over 100 Ironman athletes to cross the finish line. Heather has gained a wealth of experience racing on an elite level that she loves to share with her athletes.

A native of Milwaukee Wisconsin, Heather is married to Todd and are proud of all three of their children.
