   Are You Running the Race? | Keith McKay on Race to the Kingdom

   What does it really mean to run the Christian race—and finish it well? On this episode of Page Break with Rich & Brian, we sit down with author Keith McKay to talk about his book, Race to the Kingdom, and the experiences, Scripture, and ideas that inspired it. Keith uses the imagery of an athlete preparing for a race to explore the Christian journey—from the starting line of faith to a life of obedience, perseverance, humility, spiritual growth, and ultimately pursuing the Kingdom of God. We talk with Keith about: • Why he chose a race as the central metaphor for the Christian life • How his background in athletics and coaching influenced the book • Why salvation should be viewed as the beginning of the race rather than the finish line • The difference between simply believing and actively pursuing God's Kingdom • Humility, servant leadership, obedience, and perseverance • Why difficult "wilderness" seasons can become some of our greatest periods of growth • What it means to actually finish the race well • Keith's writing journey and advice for aspiring Christian authors It's a conversation about faith, purpose, endurance, and what happens after we decide to follow Christ. Whether you're an author, a person of faith, or someone trying to figure out what the next lap of your own journey looks like, we think you'll enjoy this conversation. Pick up Race to the Kingdom by Keith McKay and join us for this week's Page Break! #PageBreak #KeithMcKay #RaceToTheKingdom #ChristianBooks #ChristianAuthors #Faith #KingdomOfGod #ChristianPodcast #AuthorInterview
