Is it a waste of time and money to train for a marathon or a 200 mile bike race? Nathaniel weighs the real cons of endurance sports, the danger, the time, the pain, the isolation, against what they actually build in you: discipline, perseverance, and a body that knows how to say "I need you, Lord." Drawing on his own coast to coast gravel race, he shows how pushing your limits can either feed your ego or hand it back to God. If you've ever wondered whether all that training is doing your soul any good, this one's for you.
