Quotes and statements within the interview:


"I'm just kind of like a silly person in general."


"We both put on our running shoes the next weekend (I put on my
basketball shoes, he was a runner --- so he had running shoes)
and embarked on a very, very long, super painful, super slow
15-mile journey around the lake."


"I felt like God was telling me, 'I've given you a gift to run
with the best guys in the world and I gave you that gift so you
can help other people.'"
"But I would reflect back and be like... have I
accomplished that vision I feel like God gave me to run with the
best guys in the world and to help other people? And if the answer
is 'No,' I need to keep moving forward."

"God designed me to run to like run half marathons and
marathons."


"But it was more like the pursuit of the goal, that's where the
emphasis was."
"I do have a goal. I'm 26 now and I want to try and
bench 405 pounds by the time I'm 40."

"Change takes time."


"I can always develop my gift to the fullest ability."


"I take my failures very personally."


"It was a very hard, grindy, disappointing race up until about
the halfway point."
"Oftentimes when I'm suffering, I'm focused on myself,
and all my thoughts become intrinsic."

"Looking back on it now, it was a huge success even though you
know I was tenth place and not on the podium."


"We are also at our best when we're functioning in love, in His
likeness, which is love."
"That 'You follow me!' just like grabbed my heart,
because it's so convicting for me."

"I'm subscribed to going after excellence."


"And what I've kind of learned to do with those negative thoughts
is to flip them around; use them as cues to declare the opposite
of those thoughts."


"The discipline came from just love of the pursuit."
"Fall in love with the pursuit and the
journey."

"My faith spills over into my running."


"I just experienced God in such sweet ways during that time. And
I feel like He helped me navigate the trickiest season of my
life."
"As a Christian athlete, we can compete totally free
from performance burdens, from pressures and all the things I've
experienced that bogged me down in my career, like I could get free
of that just with this one reality that I already have the gold
medal; and that gold medal is know Jesus."
