In this episode, our host Kyia Stammer shares the deeper meaning behind her love for marathon running and why it goes far beyond fitness. What started as a physical challenge has become one of her most personal and powerful ways of connecting with God. She opens up about how running has shaped her faith, from experiencing moments of peace and clarity often described as a “runner’s high,” to pushing through difficult runs that mirror life’s trials and tribulations. For Kyia, running isn’t just movement...it’s worship, discipline, and time set apart with God.

In this episode, Kyia talks about why small compromises don’t work in her walk with the Lord. She unpacks how “partial obedience” is still disobedience and how subtle, seemingly harmless decisions can slowly distance believers from intimacy with God. Through Scripture and personal reflection, she shares how compromise often disguises itself as comfort, cultural relevance, or delayed obedience — and why holiness requires full surrender, not modification. This conversation is a call to examine the “little foxes,” guard the heart, and choose wholehearted obedience in every area of life.
