This is a Salaback Church podcast.

If you've been along for the Anchored Life Challenge ride, good news, you're almost there.

We can see the finish line off in the distance, and if you've ever run a race, you know that as soon as that finish line comes into focus, it gives us the energy we need to get all the way there.

And I just want to encourage you to finish strong, whether you're limping to the finish

line or just starting to hit your stride. Either way, it's still possible to finish strong,

even if you stalled out somewhere along the way. I want to encourage you to pick it back up because this week, we're going to be reading through some of the most hopeful and powerful words

in all of the New Testament that I guarantee will be a gift and an encouragement to you, whether you've

read none of the Anchored Life Challenge today, some, or all of it. It's going to be a great week.

Now, before we jump in and set up this next week's reading,

I want to pause for just a second

and say a big thank you to many of you

who have helped make this life-changing experience possible.

I want to ask you to do something

that we almost never do, and that's this,

if you host or hosting an Anchored Life Challenge book club,

can I get you to just stand up for just a second? I promise it won't hurt a bit. Go ahead and

stand up. If you're hosting a book club, Anchored Life Challenge Book Club, would you stand? Let's give

these guys a hand. All of our campuses.

You know, if it weren't for you all creating the space for the conversations that have led to the incredible, incredible stories that we've been hearing, encouraging us along the way as we read and fall behind and you tell us you can do it and we catch back up,

praying for us throughout the journey this transformational

moment in the life of our church would not have been possible and we are truly truly grateful so thank you

thank you thank you now if this is your first time here with this and you're all of a sudden wondering
