Well get a bridge town church. This is John Tyson here from Church of the City of New York

and I'm standing here for John Mark Cormor today and it is an absolute joy to be with you.

And I'm sending you love from the heart of New York City and just want you to know how much

we're grateful for John Mark and your whole team and your church and we think of you very, very fondly.

And with a lot of gratitude for how God's using you to encourage not just you as a body but so many other people around the world.

So it's an honor to jump in today and fill in for John Mark.

What I want to talk about is hitting the quarantine wall and then going through it.

You never know this to look at me because I look like an out of shape middle-aged rugby player.

But I'm telling you beneath the visible is a runner's mind.

I have done a lot of long distance running believe it or not and I ran the Chicago Marathon.

And I did it on the day where it was almost 100 degrees and it was just horrifically hot.

And I trained and I trained and I trained for the Chicago Marathon.

I didn't really know what to expect I read books but didn't know what to expect and when I got to the starting line it kind of just blew me away.

There was a guy in a taco suit getting ready to run a marathon.

There was a guy in a taxido getting ready to run a marathon.

And I just remember thinking to myself what planet am I on?

There's a guy in a taco suit.

Well it was so hot three or four miles in I started watching people literally faint and pass out just collapse onto the road.

And I felt pretty good up until mile 17 and at mile 17 I hit the wall.

And the wall is that point I'm sure you're familiar where you just get to the end of your capacities to go on.

You're just like I'm done.

Pepp talks not going to get you through it.
