What does success really look like?
In this video, we challenge the common belief that success is measured by achievements, awards, or trophies. Instead, we explore a deeper perspective—one where true growth happens beyond what others can see.
Faith isn’t just something you show in public. It’s built in the quiet, unseen moments—the struggles, the discipline, the choices you make when no one is watching.
We break down the contrast between external wins and internal transformation, and why the latter is what truly shapes who you become. If you’ve ever felt like there’s more to success than what the world celebrates, this one’s for you.
Saying Yes To The Journey
This week is all about saying yes to the journey! Every good story starts with someone saying yes to the adventure and we kick off this week after hearing an intro to Paul’s life and the things he was chasing before Jesus changed the trajectory of his life.
Run a New Race | The Life of Paul (Run Journey Week 0)
What's #1 way to lose a race? To not know you're running one. Many of us are grinding away at our job, with kids, in our side hustles. But what if God has an entirely different race for you? This week, we look at the life of Paul. He was running down one road, until God literally stopped him in his tracks and set him on a new path. This week, Brian Tome shows us how God might be telling us to do the same Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Born to Run | How to Run the Race God Has Given You (Run Journey Week 1)
God didn't call you to a life on the sidelines. There's new ground God wants you to take — and it will stretch you beyond your comfort zone. That’s the point. This week, we dive into what Paul really meant when he said "run in a way to get the prize"—by actually following his footsteps in Tarsus (modern-day Turkey). This week, Kyle Ranson helps us to see what he saw then, and feel what God is calling you to right now. Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.
God Can Revive Dead Dreams
For week two, we head to Tarsus! A place where Paul spent a lot of his time, and where his story changed. God revives dead dreams and redirects our passions for a greater purpose, just as he did for Paul!
Suffering Is Not The End
What happens when God places you in a season of imprisonment and pain? In week three of the RUN Journey, we explore how Paul’s time in Philippi — a place marked by suffering, chains, and uncertainty — became a powerful testimony of God’s unstoppable work. Even in hardship, God was moving. Even in confinement, the gospel advanced. Paul’s story challenges the common belief that difficulty equals failure or that suffering means God has abandoned you. Instead, we see that some of God’s greatest work happens in the very places we would never choose for ourselves. If you’re walking through a difficult season, this message will encourage you: your pain is not proof of God’s absence. It may be the platform for His purpose.
How to Suffer Better | Turn Your Suffering Into Strength (Run Journey Week 2)
We have good news and bad news. Bad news: suffering exists. The good? God can actually use that suffering to make you better. That thing that is beating you down and makes you want to give up can be the very thing God uses to shape you into who He wants you to be. This week, we go on location with Kyle Ranson in the ancient city of Philippi to learn Paul's story of suffering and how God used it to shape not just Paul, but all of world history. Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Run Your Race With Endurance | Paul’s Secret to Spiritual Breakthrough (Run Journey Week 3)
What does it take to run your race with endurance? The middle of the race is where many people quit, but it’s also where endurance is built. In 1 Corinthians 9:25–27, Paul compares the Christian life to a race that requires discipline, perseverance, and spiritual training. Filmed in Athens, Greece, this message from Kyle Ranson explores how Paul endured a difficult season while standing before the Areopagus, one of the most intimidating places in the ancient world. Through his example, we discover why spiritual breakthrough often comes through perseverance, what strict training helps us stay faithful, and how God endures for us as we endure for Him. Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.
How to Actually Change | The Surprising Path to Real Character (Run Journey Week 4)
Imagine Las Vegas. Ok, now imagine it 100x worse. You might be starting to get an idea of what ancient Corinth might've been like. In a city known for it's lack of morality (to put it lightly), God used Paul to completely flip the city on its head. This week, Kyle Ranson shows us the real, hard evidence of how God used Paul (who called himself "worst of sinners") to be transformed, and how we can do the same. Recorded in Corinth, Greece, and Cincinnati, Ohio
What It Means To Endure | Run Journey
In this moment of the journey, Paul arrives in Athens. He wasn’t originally there to preach, but as he walks through the city he notices how many false gods the people are worshiping. Seeing this stirs something in him, and he begins sharing about Jesus. This stop reveals something important about Paul’s growth. Through all the challenges and the hard work he’s been putting in, he’s been shaped and matured by following Jesus. His response in Athens shows the endurance he’s developed along the way. It’s a reminder that spiritual growth takes practice, patience, and perseverance. Just like Paul, we’re called to keep showing up, keep growing, and practice endurance in our faith.
Hope Isn't Just a Nice Feeling | How to Have a Hope that Flips Cities (Run Journey Week 5)
When you hear the word "hope", you might think of soft, mushy feelings or a laundry room sign you saw at Michael's. But what if there was a real, tangible hope that didn't just make you feel good, it actually changed the world? When Paul walked in to one of the most powerful cities in the ancient world, he had that kind of hope. And that's why we're still talking about him today. This week, Kyle Ranson visits the ruins of the city of Ephesus to explore Paul's story and show us how we can have the same kind of hope. Recorded live in Cincinnati, Ohio and Ephesus, Turkey.
