The Race - An FCA Endurance Podcast

Join me on this episode where I review the powerful book Defying Fear with the author, Dr. Nancy Meyer. She is an author, speaker, and courage coach who captivates her audiences with her dynamic personality and her overcomer spirit. As a licensed Chiropractic Physician, successful businesswoman, and accomplished midlife Ironman triathlete, she sheds new light on topics such as Defying Fear, Finding Courage, Embracing Your Value, and Discovering Rest. She is a wife, mom, and proud grandmother, who overcame her fears and now shows others how they can, too. She was 53 when she signed up for her first triathlon, even though she had to learn to swim, and she is a testament to personal determination and all that God can accomplish. In addition to her personal achievements, she coaches individuals and businesses on confronting fears, overcoming anxieties, and discovering the beauty of a victorious life. You can find her best-selling book, Defying Fear: Finding the Courage to Embrace Your True Value, at DrNancyMeyer.com Take her free self-worth quiz, which is on her website: drnancymeyer.com and/or text 'QUIZ' to 55444 Music from Eco Technology from Lexin_Music https://pixabay.com/music/search/?order=ec&pagi=2 FCA Endurance Website: https://fcaendurance.org/ FCA Endurance Patreon Website: https://www.patreon.com/FCAEndurancePodcast FCA Endurance Podcast Links - Listen to us here: - Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-race-an-fca-endurance-podcast/id1677648255 - Anchor: https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/zkLn44jFqzb - iHeart: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-the-race-an-fca-endurance-110797143/ FCA Endurance Podcast YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLejOc107AII1wHNDrwCfkbT1EfGAHRSRo FCA Endurance Social Media: - https://www.facebook.com/fcaendurance - https://www.instagram.com/fcaendurance/ - https://twitter.com/FCA_Endurance #AFTGOG

With me today for Episode 18 is Dr. Brad Cooper, long time ally of FCA Endurance with a very impressive résumé in endurance racing including completing 11 Ironmans, four of which were appearances at the World Championships in Hawaii. But that’s not all - he and his teammate Jerry Schemmel won the 2-person Race Across America cycling event, as featured in the film Godspeed: The Race Across America,  and he was recognized as "The World's Fittest CEO." Brad is also the current CEO of Catalyst Coaching 360, holds two US patents, and hosts the popular Catalyst 360 Podcast, and somehow we touch on all of this and more in this exciting and uplifting one-hour episode.

Hey you! Yes you, podcast listener. Thank you for joining us today. As you listen to this episode, I want you to ponder your position. No, not your aero position on the bike, though that’s important, or what position you ended up in your age group on your last race. But your position in this ministry. Are you part of a huddle? No? Why is that? Is that because one doesn’t exist in your area? Well I’ve got a great idea for you. Why don’t you start one? I’m talking to you, yeah you - the one who recently graduated from college and is looking to find your legs, so to speak, in a ministry. And I’m also talking to you - yes you - the seasoned triathlon vet whose best racing days are behind you. I’ve got good news for you, too. Your best ministry days may lie ahead. Think of the influence you could be on your peers by starting a huddle in your area. Do you want some inspiration? Well I’ve got some for you. Join me as I chat with Beth Crompton, the leader of a new FCA Endurance Huddle in Raleigh. She saw a void she could fill, and stepped up and out in faith to use the Gifts God has given her to start a huddle. So I ask you. Could you be the newest Huddle Leader for FCA Endurance. What do you say? I say, pray about it, and let us hear from you. We need leaders to build God’s kingdom and make His name known in the Endurance community. All of Christ for All of LIfe, right? That includes your next 5K.
