marriage

I'm glad to be back recording podcasts again. Thank you to my wife who has encouraged me to keep going. 

Walk with me as I talk about a book called How to Live the Victorious Life by an Unknown Christian and how it has impacted my life. Listen as I talk about my pride and how an unwillingness to die to myself has prevented me from stepping into the promises God has for me. 

Sean and Kate discuss Jacob wrestling with God and what it means to be a fighting Christian.

Happy Valentine's Day! We're celebrating as we always do on the Ali on the Run Show: with a whole lot of love! This year, it's Emily Infeld and Max Randolph's time to shine. Emily is a Nike-sponsored professional athlete and member of Team Boss, coached by Joe Bosshard. Max is a longtime Nike-employee and self-described "Professional Wife Supporter," making his podcast debut! In this conversation, we hear about Emily and Max's first meeting (fittingly, they met at a cross-country meet), and the long road to their first real date. Plus, how Max proposed, Emily and Max's advice for making a long-distance relationship work (this applies to all kinds of relationships), what Max is like when Emily is racing, and what's next on Emily's racing calendar.

And hey, whether you celebrate today or not, know that one thing is for sure: I love you.

What comes to mind when you think about passionately pursuing your spouse? Do you think about a dozen roses or a fancy candle light dinner? Maybe you think of a steamy shower together or a night of wild and amazing sex. Perhaps passionately pursuing your spouse means doing special things for them or simply spending quality time with them. The truth is all of these are great ways to passionately pursue your spouse

On this episode we will be discuss 2 things we learned about passionate pursuit from a very unlikely source. 

1. You have to pursue Jesus first. 

Luke 10:27 Amplified Version

And he replied, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.

     2. There are multiple ways to be passionate in pursuing your spouse.
