Video: Derek Redmond

Yesterday at church I had the privilege of preaching at talk on “Awakening to Help” based off of Dave & Jon Ferguson’s book “Finding Your Way Back To God”.

During the talk I shared a video of Derek Redmond who was an olympic runner in the 1982 games.

He had battled back from five surgeries and was doing great. He won the first heat, then his quarterfinal heat, and was a favorite to medal in the games. But 150m into his semifinal heat, he tore his hamstring and fell to the ground. What happened next was simply amazing…watch video

Below is my message and is geared towards any person that has found them selves stuck. I really unpack what it means to be stuck in life, long for freedom, and then how it is that God sets us free. But we have one major part to play and I reveal that in the talk!

I have already sent it to a friend of mine who I couldn’t get to come to church with me but they really want to listen. They are not following Jesus, so please pray for them – this could be their day!
