Summary

This week Leslie continues her Historical Mentors series with an inspiring look at what it means to finish well. Near the end of his life Paul said, "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith." (2 Tim 4:7) But in modern Christianity, it has become normal to allow spiritual passion to fade as age and the cares of life begin to take their toll. In this episode, Leslie highlights historical Christians who continued to shine the light of Christ and impact others for eternity, even in their later years with extreme physical challenges. This message casts a vision for what it means to go the distance in living a Christ-centered life.
