Chris Avery is a Faith-First Performance Coach who walks men from the valley to the mountain—out of fear and into mission. He built the Run with Christ Blueprint, a Scripture-anchored system that cuts through the noise with group coaching, a real brotherhood, and practical tools to win the spiritual warfare of everyday life because anything meaningful, purpose-driven, and worthy of your dream life takes grit, time, and a team. The focus: emotional resiliency, unshakeable faith, and driven clarity. Chris spent years overthinking, stuck in fear and uncertainty until he went to work on his mind. After 10,000+ hours of audio books, he rebuilt how he spoke to himself and the world. He launched a coaching company, trained 10 coaches, and served thousands while testing his own edges: running a marathon without training, ran a weekend 50-miler during COVID with only his wife to crew, and 60,000 pushups + pullups in 90 days. Two truths forged all of it: The limiting beliefs we put on ourselves are just that. We are capable of far more than most of us give ourselves credit for.  When you align with God and move in His power, you become truly unstoppable. “If God be for us, who can be against us?” (Romans 8:31) On January 9th, 2022, Chris started a simple experiment—run one mile a day for a week. One week became 90 days, then 1,460+ consecutive days (nearly four years). Today he averages 17 miles daily. In 2027, his family will travel the perimeter of the United States while he runs 50k/day (~31 miles) for 365 days—the family-powered mission is known as Chris Runs America. His message is simple: it’s not about more hustle and grind; it’s about consistent obedience. Running became the forge where stress quieted, faith deepened, and leadership sharpened. Chris speaks on discipline, identity in Christ, fatherhood, and the power of daily miles to shape the man God is calling you to be.   GoFundMe Link for Chris Runs America: https://gofund.me/0e6d6fd19 Support the show

I wanted to try to help in anyway possible, she shared what her family and others are going through in Jamaica, no homes, no buildings, no safe places to go. Some of her family members are living in their car. People are taking what they can salvage and trying to live under that, while hoodlums and others are robbing them of the little that they have left. Her cousin has started a gofund me and she will be traveling to Jamaica in a few weeks. Her tiktok link is below. @lcluxeevents I have put the links to her gofund me and also The Jamaican Disaster Relief fund. Whatever we can do to help I know they all will appreciate. https://www.gofundme.com/f/savannalamar-westmoreland-hurrican-relief-drive?lang=en_US supportjamaica.gov.jm Support the show
