As we near the end of another year, let’s finish strong for the Lord! A runner doesn’t slow down as they near the finish line; they burst through it with the same enthusiasm, determination, and intensity they started with. The final stretch is not a time to coast; it is a chance to press forward, stay committed, and ensure every moment counts for the kingdom. As Hebrews 12:1 encourages us, “Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.” Let’s keep our eyes fixed on Jesus and finish well!

Recharge your energy and finish the year with purpose by participating in one of our getaway weekends at the Lodestar Mountain Inn or taking a personal retreat. Whether you’re seeking rest, fellowship, spiritual encouragement, or simply a refreshing change of pace, our retreat center offers a welcoming environment to step away from life’s daily pressures and draw closer to the Lord. Experience the beauty of the mountains, the joy of community, and the encouragement to keep running your race with faith and passion. It can help you finish your race in 2026 and provide you with the energy to run in 2027.
