What does it actually mean to win?

In this episode of Running Our Race, we challenge the world's definition of winning and look at what it means to think like a winner from a biblical perspective. The world tells us that winning means gaining more: more success, recognition, possessions, and accomplishments. But Jesus asks a much deeper question: What does it profit us to gain the whole world if we lose our soul?

Through Matthew 16:26, Philippians 3:8, and 1 Peter 3:1, we explore a different kind of victory. Paul was willing to count everything else as loss so that he could win Christ, while Peter shows us that the way we live can even help win othersto Him.

Maybe thinking like a winner isn't about asking, “What can I gain?” but instead, “What is worth gaining?”

You can gain everything this world has to offer and still lose what matters most. Thinking like a winner means recognizing that the greatest prize isn't what we can gain in this world—it's Christ.
