The Plan | Running the Race | Biblical Foundations for Freedom

By Paul J. Bucknell

Preparing for a marathon is a serious decision. If we are at all serious about our attempt to run, then we need to make life changes. We don't want you to believe that a casual approach will help you overcome your lusts. No. Life changes are necessary to gain freedom from those surging sexual desires. They are good changes. They are possible changes, but they will require serious decisions about the way you live.



		We want to share with you what these changes are and why they are good and necessary. If we were to run the marathon, we would probably ask a series of questions before undertaking such an event: What kind of race is it? Can I make it to the end? What do I need to make it to the end?
		Here are the 3 steps of training to get you to that finish line: #1 Get Ready: Getting in Shape After taking a general check-up, we will share why we think you can run this race against lusts and win. We will even highlight what keeps most people from winning and understand the layout of the race course. #2 Get Set: Crossing the Line The battle is won in the mind! Those who win must have their minds focused on winning. That extra training necessary on winning will be provided here. #3 Go: Running the Race Many last-minute questions pop up just before the big start. They can be distracting if they are not answered and encouraging if they are. We hope, as any good coach, to anticipate these challenges and questions.
