About this listen

How do we run our race with full surrender to Christ? Eric Liddell’s life answers this question and many more with quiet strength and unwavering faith. Known for refusing to run on a Sunday at the 1924 Olympics, Eric honored God’s law above worldly praise, trusting Christ by his obedience. His gold medal in the 400m became a testimony to God’s faithfulness. But Eric’s race didn’t end on the track—he gave his life as a missionary in China, serving others with humility and joy until his final breath. His last words, “It’s full surrender,” remind us that true greatness is found in yielding wholly to Jesus. Let us run our race likewise—looking unto Him (Hebrews 12:1–2).
