What is “GO THE DISTANCE”?

Our theme verse for this year’s Soul Anchor 2026 comes from Hebrews 12:1, ”Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us”

It is easy  for us to become complacent and lose focus on the prize which is Christ especially as life gets busier and challenging. As life goes on often find ourselves “weighed down” with sin, complacency, anxiety, and all the other burdens and hardships of life. The author of Hebrews likens the Christian walk as a race/marathon in which we must run it with endurance. Preparing for and running a race is challenging since its long and In order to endure and finish the race, it requires laying aside distractions, consistency/discipline, and unwavering focus.
